Schefter says decision is made - Tyrod is gone

What did it tell us? Please enlighten us? -
Schefter says decision is made - Tyrod is gone
Dragonborn10 replied to Virgil's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
33 pages for a rumor. Very impressive boys and girls. I can not believe they would have made this decision already. It has nothing to do with the Jets game. First they don't have to make a decision right now. Second they don't have a HC to get their input. This is 100% speculation. -
Follow the 2013 Draft Blueprint
Dragonborn10 replied to HumbleAndHungry's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Agree on trading down. The entire secondary needs to be rebuilt along with WR#2. My plan moves Glenn to RT and starts CK at LT. In FA make a huge play for Berry. If that fails, then go bargain hunting for a swing tackle, Z. Brown, and a few other defenders. -
Gilmore: The Shadow Knows
Dragonborn10 replied to 26CornerBlitz's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Played less? He was the only player in the secondary that was any good. Darby was terrible all year. The safeties were just about league worst. Gilmore is great and he should be tagged and kept for another year. -
Substitute Shanahan or Patricia for McDaniels and I would be all in with your list Funny I see it the opposite. I see it as Pegula growing as an owner and realizing he should listen to the football guy not the marketing guy for HC advice. The end result will be the same as Whaley must produce a playoff team next year or he is gone.

Best Case: Kyle Shanahan, Switch to a 4-3, Philip Rivers demands a trade and Bills get him for a fourth round pick Worst Case: They don't pick up TT and they go into next season with Jones, a terrible veteran, and a rookie, Frank Reich as HC/OC, Pettine as DC

Don't understand all the fuss about Whaley and Pegs
Dragonborn10 replied to Dragonborn10's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I think another issue is the Buffalo News has more columnists than reporters. They write more opinion pieces than they do actual reporting. As others have pointed out the national guys sometimes have more info than the local guys. -
Rex reported directly to the owner. Whaley was not in full command of the organization. Is this really any different than in many places in some for or another? Do people really think the GM just sits back and signs and drafts whatever players he feels like without the input of the HC? How many owners just sit back and let the GM pick the HC without final say? Organizations almost never have a purely vertical structure any more. They are blends of horizontal and vertical reporting often with dyads forming a team for decision making. There are few if any decisions that can and should be made by one person. The Bills are far from dysfunctional when in comes to organizational structure. The media is just using an antiquated lens to look at the organization. You can argue/debate that the people in the organization may not be qualified to make these decisions but there is nothing wrong with have a GM/HC dyad structure of management. There really are very few decisions from player personnel, the draft, free agency, or final roster make-up that can't be made by consensus. All this media huff will blow over. This is more about them living in the past than it is about the Bills. Take Polian for instance. He had all the power in Indianapolis and year after year he let the talent get worse propped up only by Peyton Manning. He should be the last guy telling people how to run a modern organization.

His agent threatened to not sign with the team that drafted him and sit out year and renenter the draft. Once he was picked in the 7th round he would be locked into 7th round money and nothing the agent could do to get more money. The threat worked and he became a highly sought after Undrafted FA. Rex didnt even know Lorax was still in the league

With the 10th pick, the Buffalo Bills select....
Dragonborn10 replied to NewEra's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Anybody watch Packers o-line. Best OT is Bulaga playing RT with a young fourth rounder just signed to an extension playing very well at LT. My point, move Glenn to RT and play Kujo at LT. One less problem to deal with this off-season. -

Dragonborn10 replied to NewEra's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Excellent post. Would be happy with any of your top 3. There is usually a run on a position early in the first round. Hopefully teams draft QB's too high which will push the real talent down. FA will determine needs of course, but assuming they pick up TT's option they will have more holes to fill than draft picks thanks to Whaley moving up time after time. If there is no run on safeties, Whaley should drop down 6 or 7 spots and pick up another second round pick. -
Lynn HC, Phillips DC, McCoy OC...
Dragonborn10 replied to Big Turk's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Shanahan or Patricia as HC Wade has a top 5 defense - why would he leave? Just say no to Lynn and start fresh -
When did he keep Karlos? And FJ was done the year before. He had a great run but he did nothing for Seattle after he left. Dareus is a star player and worth the contract. Harvin was a stop gap that already knew most of the plays. Watkins is a superstar when healthy though I agree it was dumb to move up and get him. Convenient to forget he got Hunter, Hughes, Loraz, Groy, and Z. Brown Fair criticism would be constantly trading up in the draft and taking Cardale Jones three rounds before he should have.

Sully: Doug Whaley's team a no-show in finale
Dragonborn10 replied to Rico's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
So what does this hack write if they won? -
I don't live in Buffalo and I don't follow the Sabres as closely as the Bills. i don't understand where the Pegual hate is coming from? Is there more to the story than just the current state of each team? The Sabres successfully complteted the tank and look on the rise - thwarted by injuries to their three best players. Pegs missed on Rex but that probably has more ot do with having too much faith in Brandon the Circus Clown. Looks like he has moved correctly moved the GM into the top power position. You can argue he should dump Whaley too, but the best coordinators are available to interview this week. It is unlikely he could have signed a top GM so quickly. Again is there more to the hate?

Anyone know who the Bills play in 2017?
Dragonborn10 replied to PromoTheRobot's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Only one long trip out west assuming San Diego is in California still. Saints without Payton will be terrible. At Carolina will be tough. Away travel games are ok - Chargers and Chiefs. No good destination spots to travel to. -
Agreed with a healthy Watkins
