Maybe they sent Whaley on a run for beer and wings and it all happened while he was out.

Boom

Fair and logical piece IMO. Not sure who they get as a HC if it isn't Lynn at this point. They may need to scour the league for another promising RB coach to take the job,

So did I. It was just so classic Bills how could you not.

My favorite was before Ryan got fired the local media asked Shady if he thought Ryan would be. I mean, WTF kind of moronic question is that to ask a player? The Buffalo media sucks, I can't imagine anyone could deny that.

There are a lot of people thinking this way.

In the Super Mario case where a team was willing to grossly overpay like the Bills did yes you are correct. He certainly wasn't turning that offer down. But in most cases the money is going to be relatively equal team to team. The cap sees to that. Yeah the 7-9 Bills who haven't been close to the playoffs for 17 years reeks of talent to be sure. The Bills have some players, Shady at the top of the list. But there was more wrong with the team this year than just coaching. Bills blinders can make us think crazy things. Agents aren't blinded that way.

The money is going to be there if they are good. Then the question is one of the quality of the team, including players, coaches, FO and ownership. And of course, the chances of getting a ring. Last and certainly least is location. Assuming the money is equal the Bills don't fare well on everything else at the moment. The players themselves probably don't look at the media much, but I strongly suspect their agents do and it does factor in when evaluating everything but the money.

It's the medias job to stir up ****, good for clicks. But any fan who gets seriously upset by what a sport team does probably needs to take a couple steps back and reevaluate. It's a hobby for us and a business for them. As you said, not life or death. Full stop.

Blessing absolutely, it is their pockets where this coach is getting paid from not to mention the 3 more years on Ryans contract. But this "Kim said ownership/front office will begin meeting tomorrow to further discuss candidates, player evaluations, and off-season direction." sure sounds like a lot more than blessing Whaleys choice. Maybe she misspoke.

But I thought it was Whaley picking the new HC without meddling by ownership and Brandon?

Local TV sports guy reported from there just now about the Whaley presser. Nice quote from him "40 minutes of emptyness".

Hardly a tyrant. But if the realization that the Pegulas are in over their heads in both sports just hit you, you haven't been paying attention. They are doing their best and have kept both teams in Buffalo. It is what it is.

As has the Bills organization for the past 17 years.

You misunderstood, that's next years car magnet slogan.

They have announced that Whaley is in charge of selecting the next 2-3 year HC, subject to approval by the people who picked Rex. The house stays dirty.

Right from the Bills. God help me, I see ... maybe ... 8-8 again based on right now.

The Sabres aren't on the rise. At least not yet, but at least they have a shot. For the silent minority I think just the Pegulas keeping both teams in Buffalo is enough. For the rest, they want a team that is good and wins. The Pegulas are rookie owners in 2 major sports at the same time and are not doing a great job which is to be expected. It's a lot to ask. The people who want a good team and not just a team that is in Buffalo are pissed, that's all.

Bull ****, and I think you know that too. But if it helps ease the pain of this season thinking they could have made it all the way to 8-8 if they wanted to, go for it. I choose alcohol

That was your heart !@#$ing over your brain. Rex has been nothing but mediocre his entire career. Bills fans wanna billieve.

Don't know, but you know Brandon has been working on it for some time. Cardale might figure big in it, plus whoever the new HC is.

The Bills didn't show up to play one either.

Progress, are you kidding me? Did you read "Decision is strictly with the Pegulas." As in the ones who know the least about football in the organization and picked Rex freaking Ryan?

Not fair or smart to judge Cardale or Lynn based on today. Cardale wasn't even taking 2nd team snaps EVER before this week, stupid to judge him at all based on 1 quarter today. But even if you are, he outscored EJ 7 to 3 playing only 1 quarter. And Lynn was a RB coach at the start of this season with 1 week as HC. Blast the D all you like, they SUCK. Can't tackle worth a ****. But Cardale and Lynn doesn't make sense.

This one play defines the essence of the Buffalo Bills.
