BringBackOrton Posted December 16, 2016 Share Posted December 16, 2016 He was probably just throwing it out there in case it happened but I think he actually said "it may happen as soon as Monday" if they lost. Not that it would happen. He left himself an out. Just to clarify not saying I love the guy or he's right. Yep. And we all have a strong suspicion Rex is done, so I'm not sure why he's being killed for that report. It was the proverbial fork, as La Canfora said.

He's lost a lot of credibility. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
26CornerBlitz Posted December 16, 2016 Share Posted December 16, 2016 (edited) Is that an order? Both saw what a complete mess the front office was then and is now and were so frustrated they quit, like people do at jobs all the time. The thing is it does not happen in the NFL. Head coaches do not quit. We've had two do it in the 2000s. Ten years apart in completely different scenarios where neither was a hot commodity. Complete mess? No. You and many others highly exaggerate based upon recent results. They are mediocre not disastrous.

I listened to John Clayton on wgr this week and he said he heard the same stuff out of Bflo on Sunday morning before that story dropped (around noon) but that in his mind it wasn't enough to report. too much smoke for there not to be a fire. This isn't new to One Bills Drive. Dysfunction has been here for decades. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
May Day 10 Posted December 16, 2016 Share Posted December 16, 2016 Don't ask me questions. Explain the connection I will explain, but you will disagree. The Bills were moving in a direction to give Wilson's trusted money guys in Overdorf, Littman, and Brandon more say in football matters, as Donahoe was ejected. An agreeable Marv Levy was coming in, trusted by Wilson, but incapable of the GM position. One of his roles was going to be to continue showing Russ Brandon the ropes on the football side. Mularkey saw the writing on the wall and direction the Bills were going in and didnt want his career to be attached to this. The result was 2 mediocre seasons, followed by a 6-peat for last place finishes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DC Tom Posted December 16, 2016 Share Posted December 16, 2016 it goes back to Butler. Many people with power still here from when Butler said it was tough to work in Buffalo. It wasnt because of Ralph, but his people. Many of those people still employed at One Bills Drive. Which was not unwise by the Pegulas, actually. When you acquire an organization, you tend to not slash-and-burn the existing management team, but rather see how they operate while you get familiar with your acquisition. Unlike Ralph, though, Pegula has no particular loyalty to this management team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean lacanfora is kind of a clown but I roll my eyes at the Bills for the leaks when I see this crap... not at him.

The question is what did that have to do with 2014 under the Pegulas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was the proverbial fork, as La Canfora said. Because LaCornflake just throws **** against the wall and hopes it sticks. And even when you suspect that this time the **** might actually stick, it doesn't change the basic fact that he's still just throwing **** against the wall.

baskingridgebillsfan Posted December 16, 2016 Share Posted December 16, 2016 toxic is a strong word. Imo it would be helpful if Terry and Kim bring an industry trusted outsider in. The problem is finding one without an agenda . Can you really find someone who can be completely unbiased. ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GG Posted December 16, 2016 Share Posted December 16, 2016 There has been a leak to LaCanfora for years, before Whaley. He seems to always have a juicy rumor every couple years about the Bills. But how many of those frequent rumors have been even remotely true? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. WEO Posted December 16, 2016 Share Posted December 16, 2016 Apparently anyone who reports something that fits your narrative is accurate. Consider the source. Who is his source? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BringBackOrton Posted December 16, 2016 Share Posted December 16, 2016 Because he was incorrect AND was incorrect earlier in the year. If Rex is fired, he wasn't incorrect. He said as early as Monday. Basically that the Steelers game would be the final straw. Not sure where you're getting the "incorrect" from. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
26CornerBlitz Posted December 16, 2016 Share Posted December 16, 2016 Who is his source? The source of the BS is LaConjecture and that's what I was pointing out that he should consider. Pay attention. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The same organizational management is in place, save Littman... and Wilson, but Brandon has been a proxy of Wilson's leadership. I believe these folks work to preserve their positions and influence. Something was done to chase Polian away. When threats start to form, we see these games happen through 'leaks' in the media and blame. Marrone had documented spats with Bills management that was described as 'new' vs 'lifers'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm saying that regardless of his "source" he gets so much **** wrong that he should not be taken seriously based upon his less than stellar track record.
