JOE IN HAMPTON ROADS

I'm from Erie. In the 70s choices were Steelers or Browns ... ugg and meh. I just couldnt get in to NFL football. But sometimes we got Toronto station and in early 80s saw a commercial by some new hotshot quarterback for the Bills ... name was Jim ... bills were like 3-13 prior year and I thought, "this guy seems confident, and this team has no where to go but up ... maybe they could even go to the Superbowl." I have been an unbending Bills fan since. It worked out well when I met a gal from Wilson and met her family ... Bills fans. Married 23 years and counting.

This. Being relevant in January would be nice. Or maybe we could go to the playoffs and win one? Are we finally at the point we would rather not have to play than face possible failure?

He was and probably still is Whaley's favorite. He might not even get cut. London?

ahhh but he is "high motor"

coming in late - I see from the thread we are full on Mariah Carrey out there?

anyone know Lynns leadership style? I hear he is :no nonsense:

I blame Ray Finkle

why should he come back? We are already paying him to not be here.

If you have season tickets it IS your money.

Man I just cant believe how many people think a better QB would make a big difference in this organization. The number of QBs who could carry this mismanaged team to the playoffs is probably in the single digits. Jimbo, Marino, Brady, a few others. None of them are available. Until we fix systemic FO issues this team is going nowhere. I guess we'll find out tomorrow or Tues whether there is a housecleaning, or not.

I dont really know that much about football but Ive made a study of leadership. I knew Rex had to go after the London game. He is a soft coach who doesnt hold his players accountable. Take the week off guys, how often are we in London? Terrible play? Blame it on jet lag. Stupid penalties? Wear a wrist band. I know we lost, but you guys worked hard, take Monday off. Again. I naturally have the "nice guy" leadership style and it works when you have committed people under you but is the WORST leadership style to have when people are only self-concerned. This team is largely self-concerned and Rex has done nothing to bring them around to a team mentality. He just shrugs his shoulders week after week. No accountability, no change. In pro football, nice guys finish last. Or 8-8. Being the "nice guy" boss myself, I would have no business running a team of self-concerned prima donnas and neither does Rex. I hear Coughlin is a disciplinarian, that is what a team like this needs.

Sorry, no. Many of our "close" games were lost in the 3rd Q (or sooner), and we caught up in garbage time. Our stats are WAY better than we actually are.

lol I gave up on ST when Chan left

hmmmmmm

No, the HC hires assistants and is accountable for their errors. Its a basic tenet of leadership. Hire good assistants and you wont have issues.

HC is accountable fir all coaching errors. Because he chooses his assistants. Probably his bumbling brother he hired out of pure nepotism. If that's the case we have all been royally screwed.

yeah but didn't he keep the first guy too long? (Don't follow hockey sry)

would not be surprised. If he gets to speak up in his own defense Pegs will be spellbound again. He will throw Lynn under the bus and wiggle out. Don't let him talk Pegs! Banish him before he reaches the bus!

Billsiest game of the year so far?

Just stop it, Rex is a fast talker and Pegs seems to be a good listener. we can lose out and he still may be here next year.

if offense wins this Pegs you know what to do ... dump Rex and elevate Lynn

LOL

Have we been saving Clay for some reason?

OK but Rex still blew it
