Rodrigo Borgia Posted April 20, 2017 Share Posted April 20, 2017 So, who from among the low-brow, low-class populace of Western New York will step up and save us from the "embarrassment" of the Bills and Sabres? JM? Rico? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dpberr Posted April 20, 2017 Share Posted April 20, 2017 (edited) You mean other then firing coaches for non performance? I disagree completely.....the Pegula's dont hang onto coaches that dont win. I'm not saying they won't eventually get there and make a decision. It's the process and the fact they do everything by committee that is the issue IMO. I also think he, she or they (depends!) hates firing people to the point he'd rather not do it despite overwhelming evidence that supports a change. If you were the owner, would you have waited so long to fire Ryan, knowing the shenanigans that were going on? I don't think he got fired for the record but all of the behind the scenes nonsense that later came out. If record was a real performance metric for a team that hasn't seen the playoffs in so long, Doug Whaley would have been fired already.

4merper4mer Posted April 20, 2017 Share Posted April 20, 2017 Really? Overpaid Mccoy after the trade. Overpaid Dareus. Wasted draft picks to get EJ wasted draft picks to get an oft injured WR No leadership ever drafted on the team These two alone have put us in cap hell. Then Kujo, our entire draft class last year was on IR pretty much to start the season. Pissing in Rex's cheerios every morning to where Rex said hell with this, let me out of here. LB's are a disaster DB's are a disaster No WR's QB beyond TT who is only average is nonexistant. Whaley should have been fired last season. LOL at the Rex part. He probably didn't want Rex and Pegula remembered so cut him a break. Rex came in with one of the top fronts in football....drafted 3 front 7......which was Whaley doing him a favor.....and left the team needing front 7. Rex was the disaster.

LABILLBACKER Posted April 20, 2017 Share Posted April 20, 2017 Doug Whaley is on borrowed time and we all know it. His power position with this organization has clearly diminished over the last few months. And unless he hits one out of the park with this upcoming draft, he's pretty much gone. His legacy will be the disaster of EJ Manuel and the over valuing of Sammy Watkins. Not to mention a couple of contracts that were way more than they should have been with Dareus and Clay...

Rockpile233 Posted April 20, 2017 Share Posted April 20, 2017 Tim Murray was a boss who owned every decision, welcomed criticism when something didn't work, accepted complete accountability for everything....and got fired. He should have taken a page out of Doug Whaley's book. Yes men go far at Pegula Sports and Entertainment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So Whaley is going to be evaluated on his draft right after he does it??? Based on what? The draft score McShay and Kiper give him? I'll go out on a limb and say Whaley is here for quite a while longer than most think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JM? Rico? Since you asked,I don't really give a !@#$ what happens to the Sabres, but I do have a 3-step plan to fix the Bills. 1. Throw all of Ralph's trash to the curb. 2. Replace them with football people that have no association with Ralph or any of his trash. 3. If the new people aren't successful after 3 years at most, repeat step 2. It all begins with step 1 though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He should have taken a page out of Doug Whaley's book. Yes men go far at Pegula Sports and Entertainment. Murray botched everything, talk down to everyone and got exactly what he deserved. Show me the unexpected gem he found. Granted NFL rosters are such bigger but Whaley has found some good unexpected players and had other good moves: Incognito, Miller, MG, Darby, Hughes, Darby, Seymour, Cockrell....who Rex botched.., Alexander, Z Borwn, He's had misses but nothing like Murray.

ndirish1978 Posted April 20, 2017 Share Posted April 20, 2017 Overdorf manages our cap, not Whaley. I have no idea why it's structured that way or if this is common elsewhere, but I think JO should be fired for the garbage cap situation we've been in for 2 straight years.

That isn't an indication that he is as secure in his position as much as you think he is. He for the most part assembled the roster; and he will be held accountable for the results. If the team flounders as I expect he will be dispatched. That's how the owner responds as the boss in his short history as an owner of the two pro teams demonstrate.

transient Posted April 20, 2017 Share Posted April 20, 2017 I would love to see Jerry Sullivan get the raider's treatment There was a "media" guy that literally got kicked out of a Raiders press conference mafia style a couple of years ago.......reminded me SOOOO much of Jerry Sullivan Maybe the Bills could hire Chicago airport security and have United sponsor their pressers...

baskingridgebillsfan Posted April 21, 2017 Share Posted April 21, 2017 (edited) no reason to fire Whaley. Sullivan continues the news crusade against the pegs . Maybe they should clean house at the Buffalo news sports department , that is a true dumpster fire. I also find it funny the news goes out of the way to kill Terry and Kim not realizing wthout them there would be no reason for the paper to have a sports department Edited April 21, 2017 by baskingridgebillsfan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
