Mostly right, but Gilmore by my count had roughly 10 high-end games. He's good but likely gone. Also franchising a healthy Sammy when the time comes isn't a bad idea. He's that good.

For the amount we spent in draft picks resigning him is too costly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SDS Posted January 2, 2017 Share Posted January 2, 2017 Agreed. The coaching staff should review the entire rule book with every player before every game. Anything short of that is negligence. Anthony Lynn should have personally seen to it that Mike Gillislee knows that a the ball is live on a kickoff and it should have been this week.

jahnyc Posted January 2, 2017 Share Posted January 2, 2017 If Whaley wants Lynn to be HC, why did he send him out alone for the press conference last week and then have him start EJ in the final game? If Whaley want us all to get excited about Lynn, he did about the worst possible thing to the guy by handling things this way. Not a good press conference and then a poor effort from the team today. A less than successful introduction to Lynn, who deserved better even if I think we should clean house and get a HC from outside of the current coaching group.

John from Riverside Posted January 2, 2017 Share Posted January 2, 2017 1. Tyrod is still the best option at QB. He has accuracy issues but doesn't make costly turnovers.  agreed 2. Lynn had the team poorly prepared for this game. Mental mistakes like the kickoff-TD are on the coaching staff. He had a chance to make a case to be hired as the FT coach and blew it.  Lynn worked with what he had.....EJ hurt that quite a bit. NOTE. We did not have one penalty today as the QB grounding was negated by the QB roughing. McCoy was out early with the ankle.  3. EJ is not the answer. He's a turnover machine.  I think that is pretty much a given....but keep in mind that EJ being a huge downgrade from TT also should not affect decisions on Lynn's future.  4. Cardale is raw. Good accuracy. Not ready yet to be a starter.  Pretty much what we have been told by everyone  5. The run defense sucks. Rex took the best defense and turned it to ****.  THis whole business with this defense....who in their right mind comes in, takes a top 5 D, and CHANGES it.......still baffling to this day.  6. Say good bye to Stephon Gilmore. A supposed shut down corner regressed each year.  He certainly has not played up to the money he wants  7. Marcel Dareus is a huge disappointment. Dean Vernon: 'Fat high and stupid is no way to go through life'.  Yup.....the thing that scares me about Marcel is he seems oblivious.....Marcel should not be giving opinions on accountability when he HIMSELF cannot be accountable. I REALLY hope he gets this turned around.  8. Say goodbye to Sammy Watkins. Unless we overspend and put a franchise tag on him, the over spending in draft picks to take him is a huge failure.  Just short memory here......looked so good in 2015 in the latter half of that season....then gets the injury in 2016. I really think we need to suffer through these pains and keep a talent like that.  9. This roster is Whaley's fault. We overspent draft picks on EJ and Watkins as well as poor choices on injured players that did not contribute until late this year.  This roster has a lot of talent and that is a CREDIT to Whaley. He did not overspend for EJ.....EJ just didnt pan out like most QBs dont pan out. Finding quality QBs is REALLY hard to do. Watkins needs to stay healthy however injury is not something you can predict.  10. Pegula needs to clean house. Sadly, he won't.  I disagree...I think he needs to "tweek" it......bring the level of the defense up to the level of the offense I have watched every game in the last 25 years. They dude takes entire GAMES off. You should just stop while you have some sense of credibility left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lynn had the team poorly prepared for this game. Mental mistakes like the kickoff-TD are on the coaching staff. He had a chance to make a case to be hired as the FT coach and blew it. Â Â I didn't get past #2. How many coaches went over " when the ball is kicked off, and goes more than 10 yards, make sure you get possession of it" this week, to prepare their team? Â I bet NONE. Especially a team that just replaced the head coach that week. Â I don't want Lynn, but that mistake is all on the PROFESSIONAL football players.

DC Tom Posted January 2, 2017 Share Posted January 2, 2017 Lynn had six days as head coach while still acting as offensive coordinator, inheriting from the previous coach a passive and disinterested team that clearly considered the last game of the season to be last week and knew they'd only have to answer to him for a week. Â Frankly, if he'd managed to prepare the team under those circumstances, I'd be amazed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bdutton Posted January 2, 2017 Author Share Posted January 2, 2017 You're simply making crap up. 2015 stats: Â Look at the first half of the season: Â http://www.espn.com/nfl/player/gamelog/_/id/16725/year/2015 Â You have games like 168 yards and many games like the Jets game with 7 targets for only 14 yards. Â This season only 1 game over 100 yards. Granted, he was dealing with the foot injury but if you are playing you need to perform or not. Â Â I didn't get past #2. How many coaches went over " when the ball is kicked off, and goes more than 10 yards, make sure you get possession of it" this week, to prepare their team? Â I bet NONE. Especially a team that just replaced the head coach that week. Â I don't want Lynn, but that mistake is all on the PROFESSIONAL football players. Fair enough. The Special teams coach is responsible for making sure the special teams players understand the rules. Who does the special teams coach report to? Like it not, even if the actual responsibility for the play is on the players, the coaches ultimately are judged on the mental mistakes of their players. Its their responsibility to mentally prepare their players and they failed dramatically on that play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â Disagree on 6 and 8. Gilmore rebounded nicely from early in the season to play well and there are a couple years left before making any call on the talented Watkins. Â Same on 10. You clean house when a team is at the bottom of the league. Not the Bills' scenario. Edited January 2, 2017 by 26CornerBlitz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As sarcastic as you may be, these guys are paid a fortune to not make mistakes. Giving the other team 7 points is about as big of a mistake you can make.
