Pirate Angel Posted November 29, 2017 Share Posted November 29, 2017 How dare they try and improve at the most important position in the game. Whoever the decision comes from its the right decision, the results have been regrettable sure. The owners know it, the coaches know it, most the fans know it...we are not going to win anything with a limited qb at the helm, so taking chances on finding one you can win more in the future is better than one who gives you the best chance to win today Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isn’t that why he got fired before the last game, because he wouldn’t do it? taylor was benched to assess the situation with ej manuel. plain and simple, as everyone has said. rex ryan is a blowhard B word, plain and simple.

Most long time fans know RW is why Flutie was benched for Rob Johnson in the Music City Miracle game. And while I don't necessarily have a problem moving on from TT, I hope the Pegulas truly aren't dictating the QB situation behind the scenes or it really don't matter who we have at GM and HC they are both destined to fail. Either way can't imagine Pegula Sports and Entertainment truly enjoys watching both of their pro sports teams continue to suck, especially the Sabres talk about a full blown dumpster fire and worst team in the NHL. Well... people can say this but what if coach and gm don't want to draft a QB and the owner steps in and says you better draft this guy make it happen. Would you still say you don't want meddling owners? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
transient Posted November 30, 2017 Share Posted November 30, 2017 Huh... I heard he was told to play 11 men on defense and when he repeatedly refused he was fired... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Protocal69 Posted November 30, 2017 Share Posted November 30, 2017 If this was the case why would ownership approve of Taylor coming back even at a reduced rate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

papazoid Posted November 30, 2017 Share Posted November 30, 2017 I have no problem with the head coach having a short term win this week approach. I have no problem with a GM, once out of playoffs, wanting to get a look see jump on the next season by playing certain backup players. fast forward to this season... if and when the bills are "mathematically" eliminated from playoffs.....the 2019 season begins. I would start Peterman in however many games remained. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GunnerBill Posted November 30, 2017 Share Posted November 30, 2017 (edited) Based on what Rob Ryan said on UK TV the other week I am increasingly convinced that the Pegulas (well, Terry at least) were involved in the decision to bench Taylor. And I mean this in more than simply agreeing with Doug Whaley saying it isn't worth the contractual risk. When you start to put the pieces of the puzzle together..... Rob referring to the "powers that be" Rex saying he was ordered (remember Rex did NOT report to Doug Whaley... they both reported to Terry) The fact that a so called conservative HC felt comfortable about the potential fall out of benching Tyrod for a 5th round rookie Pegula at the Mitch Trubisky pro day..... It is all a bit circumstantial but it starts to build a picture for me of an owner who is frustrated watching his team play with a QB he doesn't believe in.

GunnerBill Posted November 30, 2017 Share Posted November 30, 2017 Just now, Binghamton Beast said: Mic that was the case they why did they bring Taylor back? Not buying your theory. They brought him back because he was their best option and on the contract it was a no brainer. I accept it is a theory and speculation not fact. But there is enough circumstantial for me to believe that Pegula is no lover of Tyrod and would like the franchise to move on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

C.Biscuit97 Posted November 30, 2017 Share Posted November 30, 2017 Rex is the worst. He's like that crazy ex who won't stop texting you even though you've moved on. I'm not sold on SM but he is better than Rex. A guy who sucked here but still thinks it's not his fault. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m just glad that we have an owner with enough guys to make the tough call on a QB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

C.Biscuit97 Posted November 30, 2017 Share Posted November 30, 2017 Also, why was benching Tyrod last year even a bad decision? 1) it moved us up in the draff 2) we weren't locked into TT and brought him back cheaper 3) we got to evaluate other qbs imo, it was probably one of the best Bills moves in awhile.

The same reasons it will make sense once we're eliminated this year. One exception - he won't be back next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
