The Bills may have made a decision (and maybe not), doesn't mean Lynn has. Reports of Denver being interested in Lynn. You are Mr. Lynn and you have offers from Denver and Buffalo, which do yo pick?

Not just no, but holy !@#$ing ****, no !@#$ing way no.

There is one and only one answer to the 17 years and counting of suck ... and that is alcohol (or weed if you prefer).

In the real world it's, "!@#$ up and you're gone". No such concept seems to exist in the NFL as near as I can tell. Or at least not on the Bills. For them it's more "let's fire one obvious !@#$ up so the rest of us can keep our jobs".

Obviously the team is fantastic. They have been this entire century so far. The Bills front office and ownership just hasn't wanted the rest of the NFL to feel bad so they intentionally kept themselves out of the playoffs, knowing the fans would understand. Pretty damn nice of us all if you ask me.

Yeah apparently that's how Ryan thinks as well. Just sayin.

Plus taking into account the current NFL model is to try and promote equity by giving the worst teams the best draft picks every year instead of a simple lottery complicates the matter as well. A simple coin flip 1/2^17 pretty much has no bearing. But it suffices to say the Bills are definitely bucking the odds given the current draft pick policy by going 17 consecutive seasons. Though it might be a fun question to pose to the people at 538. ​EDIT: I asked, we'll see.

Aaaaaaaand the 2016 toilet bowl picks are all in! My only remaining question is do I record it and watch it like usual or just not bother.

It has been the off season for almost a week now.

First available person who can bull **** well who meets with the Pegula's with the right bottle of wine gets the job. Should be soon.

Shut it down. It's a business and you make the right business decision. Screwing a division rival with no real gain for your team is beyond stupid.

The Bills aren't starting TT, might not start shady or Watkins either based on missing practice. Throwing a very inexperienced person into the deep end as HC. Haven't heard about the Jets roster other than The Amish Rifle.

That's the common theory every time the Bills coaches or FO !@#$s up. Because, you know, they really can't be that stupid.

Only 3 lowly ESPN stragglers left.

Or quick like sexy Rexy. However long it takes keep Russ and the Pegulas as far away from the process as possible.

It might be gone already. Someone I know in Rochester saw him driving down by RIT in a small white chevy car. Makes sense he would try and ditch the truck outside of Buffalo to avoid press.

Well, they did leave him to twist on his own. Whaley not there, Pegulas not there. Spot on.

How much longer does the "everything was Ryans fault" parade go on? I seriously wonder if Russ orchestrates these types of stories to make the organization look better than it is to preserve season ticket sales next season.

Not hanging the players out to dry in the press is the sign of a good coach, not a bad one. Doesn't mean he wasn't holding the players accountable privately. In Rex's case however I suspect he wasn't in private either, but my point is a good coach doesn't air their grievances with players in the press, only petty ones trying to save their asses do.

EJ said he planned on playing the entire game, FWIW.

Tomlin just announced that Big Ben and several other starters won't play Sunday. Granted it is only the Browns they are playing but doing that admits that winning that particular game is not their top priority.

Why Lynn? He is already here and would probably take the job. But what in his body of work makes him someones top pick for HC? I'm not anti, just curious why this guy with less than a years experience as a coordinator would be a top pick?

Cardale apparently hasn't been doing anything all season but run the practice squad, so my assumption is he simply isn't ready or maybe they already know he sucks based on practices. Anyway, he is apparently getting 2nd team reps this week so who knows, maybe he gets in at some point Sunday.

I'd shut him down too FWIW. He isn't getting any younger and has nothing to prove. Let Mike G. get some reps.
