If someone in demand has a choice between a situation where you get fired in less than two years even though you have been the most successful Bills HC in 17 years notwithstanding injuries, suspensions, bottom half QB
V
A situation where you are be given a fair amount of time etc.
The question answers itself UNLESS the Pegulas overpay and promise that coach would be given the time etc.
How many games did Jags HC have before he got fired?
Not sure how that applies. The NFL is a results based business. We hear that all the time. The players hear it. The coaches know it. Bradley losing for 4 seasons, or whatever it was, and Rex losing for 2 and then getting fired isn't going to be used as rationalization in someone's mind when deciding whether or not to accept an offer in Buffalo.
-
That's unlikely. Heck, JAX didn't even wait until the team plane got home lol. No, if they wanted to embarrass Rex fire him on xmas or the day after. The Bills job is only unattractive due to the QB situation. The owner has deep pockets, the Bills have talent and a strong running game. Good fan base. A more clear structure it seems with Whaley to hire the HC as is customary around the league. Not wholly unattractive, there are only 32 of these jobs and not all are open.
Completely agree with this. Unattractive? Like you said, there are 32 of these jobs. I could see maybe Jim Harbaugh or existing NFL head coaches saying no, but any high profile coordinator who wants to be a HC is not going to say, "Buffalo? Nah."
-
Absolutely hated the Rex hiring and got blasted on this board for saying so at the time of hiring. Eventually got on board with him as coach, cause what else are you going to do? So glad to see him gone!

Found a place called Sprenger's. Looks like they open at 8 for breakfast and have a good craft beer tap list. Thanks guys!

Any recommendations on a good spot to watch the Bills game in Santa Rosa, CA tomorrow?
-
I have Cowherd on the radio, he just said he hears rumors that Gruden would leave ESPN for the right money. He heard he isn't totally happy and suggest 8mil per would do it, he was talking about LA. Heck I wish the Bills would make that offer.
Gruden should be offered the GM job then be permitted to hire whatever head coach he wants.
-
It's been fairly well established Cowher and Gruden will not coach again. Wonder if they would consider a GM gig. Then, let the new GM pick the coach. Which would you prefer? Not sure anyone is more knowledgeable about players than Gruden. Let him run the team.

TT isn't going to bring us back from this. Just put EJ in.

Time for EJ

I don't want a 37 year old QB at an exorbitant price with a balky back who every time he gets touched I have to worry about whether he'll be carted off the field. With a crystal ball that lets one see the future of course you make the move, but given the inability to stay on the field the answer for me is a resounding no.
I agree it seems like Romo is hurt a lot, and the back issue is a concern. But other than this year and 2010 when he only played 6 games, he played 15 games in 2013 and 2014 and 16 games in 2011 and 2012. So, it isn't exactly like he is hurt all of the time. Again, the back issue is a concern, but not a deal breaker. IF he is not in Dallas next year, he will be paid like a top tier QB. It might as well be us.
-
If they do that the entire front office should be immediately fired.
Maybe. But I think Romo would have us at 12 wins a year. Let me ask you this. If signing Romo meant we would have at least 12 wins a year for the next 3 years, would you pay the prices I suggested?
-
2 years, $45 million, $25 million guaranteed. Club option for year 3 at $25 million.

How to solve the Bills QB issues;
1. Do not pick up Tyrod's option
2. Do what it takes to get Romo
3. Resign EJ
3. Draft Mitch Trubisky

Each week I find myself more and more excited to watch Shaq. I also really like Graham and am a big Bob Woods fan (the guy has done everything any coaching staff has every asked of him and always gives maximum effort)
-
Allowing 29 unanswered points just can't happen. Also, put me firmly in the "Tyrod is not the answer at QB" camp.
-
Sammy just not on the same page. Time away hurt.
-
I feel the need for an INT from our D. Seems that doesn't happen as much as it should.
-
Thankfully we have a new thread. That first half board makes it seem as though we're down 35-0.
-
There are way too many scenarios left still. After messing around with the playoff machine I had one scenario where the Dolphins at 10-6 were in, the Bills at 9-7 were in, and both the Broncos and Chiefs at 9-7 were out.
-
We're 8th in the league in points per game, up from 12th in 2015 and 18th in 2014. We're scoring points. Who cares how well he can read the defense if we're scoring anyway.
If this defense was as good as it was supposed to be, we'd be 9-2 right now.
-
That crappy team has won 5 in a row. Their remaining schedule is not that tough either. Their toughest game would be the final at NEP, but the Pats will most likely be resting their starters that game. I agree with others who've said the Bills most likely have to win out to get in.
I see both sides of the argument on the Dolphins. They're crap and getting lucky or they're a good team finding ways to win. It could be either, but I don't think it is feasible they keeping winning the way they have. They may very well get beat by SF. Either way, we play them, and have to win that game regardless of how they do the rest of the way. Our real concern is hoping two teams in the west start losing some games. It looks like our best case scenario would be for KC to run away with that division, beating all other AFC West teams along the way.
-
i'd say cheer for raiders
raiders would be 8-2
Texans would be 6-4
easier to catch Texans
if Texans win, they are both 7-3
Texans are not a wildcard threat. If they get in it will be by winning their division. It works best for us if the Texans start piling up wins and run away with the south. They take care of any hopes Indy and Tennessee have along the way if they do this.
Right now there is a very real chance both wildcards come from the west, which we obviously cannot afford to have happen. So really it is simply, we want teams in the west to lose whenever possible. If someone does assert themselves, say it is Oakland, then we really want to root for that one team whenever they play within the division. However, I see a lot of splits happening within the division, so we need them to lose non-division games whenever possible.
-
Agreed.
Unfortunately the Bills will do the same IMO.
We should beat Jax, but I bet we lose to both Oakland and Pitt.
It's definitely not an easy road. The season may very well be done if we lose just one more, so losing both of those would be game over. But, for now, we have hope. Winning next week and heading to Oakland on a 2 game winning streak would at least make for a meaningful December game, and if we get a win there and host Pittsburgh after winning 3 in a row, I like our chances. But, let's beat JAX first.
-
Miami loss would have been great, but not necessary. We still have to beat them anyway, and I'm confident they'll lose at least one more. I'm thinking that will be in two weeks at Baltimore, but wouldn't be surprised if it's next week against SF with the way they've stepped up their game. They also have the Jets and Cardinals left, as well as a week 17 against NE. Hopefully NE will still be playing for something at that point to make it a game.

It's important for Whaley to be able to hire a coach he actually wants, likes, and gets along with then, I suppose.
Plus, every bit of what happened behind the doors of OBD is speculation. The public has zero idea who screwed who and who leaked what.
