What a Tuel

If this were the case, wouldn't Coughlin be the shoo-in? Former Super Bowl winning HC. Great story.

Wow, I saw this had a ton of reviews, and there are some gems in there.... Edit: the carnival one is hilarious but long, and worth it as well.

Injuries aside? Then what's left? Washington?

I'm glad the media threw a temper tantrum as if Whaley won't answer any questions 6 days before he has a conference to answer questions. Gotta get clicks somehow I guess.

http://www.sbnation.com/nfl/2016/12/24/14076782/nfl-draft-order-2017-49ers-browns-bears-jaguars I don't know why the pic turns out smaller or why it links to the article. Witchcraft.

Kind of like how Marrone was a clear HC candidate for many teams last year? Take what the media says with a grain of salt.

In my opinion, the officials screwed up, they are responsible for placing the ball out there, not the Dolphins. Are they not?

Obviously the owners are listening to the buffalo news for clues on what they should do with their franchise. "Holy crap, they think we are going to fire Rex? Damn, we better get Whaley to start looking for a HC immediately!"

lmao, I had to google this because I wasn't sure if you were joking or not! http://thebiglead.com/2016/12/18/jets-player-on-snapchat-where-the-hoes-at-f-this-game/ That's awesome.

We will also get an offseason in for Shaq, and hopefully Ragland back full strength. Plus whoever we draft. Gilmore is likely gone, so maybe pick up veterans or retain some of these free agents like Alexander with the money taken up by him. If there are no immediate QB options out there, keep Tyrod. I agree though, don't blow it up Whaley. I like Lynn as a OC so far, but not as HC. Bring in a guy to keep the discipline like Watkins is saying, and get a prominent DC that fits the pieces that we have and lets go into 2017 rolling.

What are you talking about? Please don't tell me this is still about him responding poorly to those dbs online that were harassing him.

Honestly I like to presume that he is a former Bills fan converted Patriots fan. I'm sure he will deny it, but we all know that's why he's here.

Exactly. Jerry Sullivan even goes on to "feel bad" for Anthony Lynn not being able to decide put his best QB out there. Like wtf? He is an interim HC for 1 game. Like he wouldn't be blasting Anthony Lynn and the Bills Org for risking it either. Bunch of two face hypocrites.

Back then groin surgery was more like spleen surgery and the risk was higher, and the recovery longer. http://www.buffalorumblings.com/2016/12/29/14116866/tyrod-taylor-injury-understanding-the-injury-only-guarantee-clause-in-buffalo-bills-contract I reached out to Jason Fitgerald, the founder of OverTheCap.com, and he wrote the following to me via Twitter DM: “The salary is already guaranteed for injury. What that means is that he if he were unable to pass a physical at the time of his release the Bills would owe him $27.5M on his contract.” So there you have it. Pretty straight forward. If his groin injury means he won’t be able to pass a physical in mid-March and he’s cut, then the Bills would be on the hook for that enormous amount of money. Fitzgerald went on to write: “The info I have on the contract is that the Bills need to decide on his option by the 3rd day of the LY. If exercised a full guarantee kicks in on his 2017 base salary and a $3.25M full guarantee of his 2018 salary kicks in. Another $9.75M of his 2018 salary also becomes guaranteed for injury. Basically as long as he is healthy by the 4th day of free agency they can cut him without owing him another penny.”

"No doubt, they'll tell us that Whaley was scheduled to take questions next Monday during the annual end-of-season presser. Why double up on press conferences. " "I'm sorry, they needed to do better than this. Ryan's firing is a major national story. It demanded immediate management response. I don't care if the obligatory season-ending news conference was five days away." His entire article boils down to the fact that he doesn't wanna wait til next Monday when they will hold the end of season presser. He will get his answers then, but he doesn't wanna wait. Wooest him. Give me a break. Edit: Ugh, I can't believe you got me to read this nonsense. "I felt sorry for Lynn. He said it was important to win Sunday, but wasn't allowed to play his best quarterback. They put him in an untenable position. They didn't have the basic smarts to involve him in the decision so he wouldn't have to stumble over the question later." Sullivan feels sorry for Lynn, a interim head coach who will have 1 damn game to coach. He thinks it is dumb that Lynn wasn't involved in the decision to play Tyrod in a meaningless game. Like WTF. Is Sullivan actually arguing that Lynn, an interim head coach for 1 game, should have full personnel control even with a contract situation such as Tyrod's? And he thinks the Bills are incompetent? Seriously? What am I reading? If Sullivan isn't arguing that, then what is he arguing? Lynn clearly knew EJ Manuel was starting, so they clearly informed him of that decision.

I think you make some valid points. Here is a pic of the catch.

Maybe because you read a lot of it on forums haha. It reminds me of the comments on bills articles on facebook. "amateur hour for the pegulas sports ownership" fits right in there.

I find it entertaining that the media finds itself of the utmost importance and the primary reason they believe the bills organization hasn't been successful. It's all because the Bills organization won't let the media ask their stupid questions!

I don't know why anyone would presume otherwise if the situations were reversed. I'll be railed on for it, but one for one, I will take Sammy every time.

He sat Brady at the half time point despite being down on the Bills 17-6. Belichick will sit his starters if there is no reason for the win. Here is the preview for the game: 10:45 a.m. ET: New England Patriots rookie quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo likely won’t just be relegated to sideline duty Sunday. Garoppolo is expected to play against the Buffalo Bills in the Patriots’ meaningless regular-season finale. The Patriots are 12-3 going into Week 17 with the No. 1 seed in the AFC playoffs locked up. Because the Patriots have a first-round bye, they aren’t expected to rest their starters all game — to prevent rust — but they’ll still be getting plenty of rest in order to prevent injuries going into the postseason. Wide receiver Julian Edelman, running back LeGarrette Blount, cornerback Kyle Arrington and guard Dan Connolly might not suit up at all because of nagging injuries. Quarterback Tom Brady, wideout Brandon LaFell, tight end Rob Gronkowski, defensive ends Chandler Jones and Rob Ninkovich, defensive tackle Vince Wilfork, linebackers Jamie Collins and Dont’a Hightower and defensive backs Darrelle Revis, Brandon Browner, Devin McCourty and Patrick Chung likely will be pulled early because of their stature as important starters. 11:35 a.m.: If the Patriots want to get off to a hot start this afternoon, they’ll be doing it without their star tight end. Here are the Patriots’ inactives: TE Rob Gronkowski WR Julian Edelman RT Sebastian Vollmer LG Dan Connolly CB Brandon Browner LB Dont’a Hightower RB Jonas Gray Gronkowski, Edelman, Vollmer, Connolly, Browner and Hightower all are starters for the Patriots. Gray is the only non-starter inactive for the Patriots.

I am curious why the Buffalo Media is pushing this Anthony Lynn narrative. They will be the first to throw him and the Pegula's under the bus for promoting Lynn from running backs coach to head coach instead of looking at serious candidates. I mean I know why - it is job security for them, but do they have to be such DB hypocrites to do their job?

So after venting and raving about the front office keeping Rex, and Rex ruining this, and Rob ruining that, are we really now calling the front office a dumpster fire for firing them?

They can't help themselves on the "what-if" scenarios of blowing the whole thing up. They imagine blowing it up and building a dynasty, I think it's just a "if everything changes, then we can't possibly be the same old bills" thing.

That is it, thanks!

Yep, the original article has been updated. I'd update the topic title if I knew how.
