Easy to sniff those out when there's no threat of the QB throwing intermediate routes.

The problems with his game are still evident but we can all swallow them much easier after a win. I'm not calling for his head, just calling it like I see it. He's our best option at present.

Obviously the Bills played poorly today and lost for a whole host of reasons, but that missed pass interference on Hunter was huge. If that is called correctly, first and goal on the 1. We probably score a TD and go up 2 scores and likely win. Just an awful missed call. Bad officiating crew today all around.

Agreed. Just baffling decision making for a QB. That's a basic throw and catch. And our guy made an unacceptable decision on it.

So... That's an 8-8 offensive game plan at best if that's the case. But there a lot of times today when he dropped straight back, but the default for him is always to scramble. There's no way there's never a pass worth throwing when he does a 5 step drop. But he never throws. Don't know if it's because he can't see or because he's just so afraid of throwing a pick that he won't throw into tight windows, but he has to make throws like that on occasion. He rarely drops straight back and just delivers.

O line was bad. Defense obviously was horrible against the run (and Ajayi was obviously just a monster today). That missed PI on hunter in the end zone was huge. We get that, we probably get 7 and the win. Yes Tyrod didn't throw a pick, but he's not taking any chances that would even allow that. He is not passing the ball over the middle of the field at all. Really don't think he can see over the line. Receiving corps is obviously banged up, but there were plays where he just didn't see open receivers (see third down when he scrambled and had O'Leary wide open but elected to run and get stuffed instead).

Tyrod doesn't pass over the middle anyways. Not worried about him there in coverage. He is not a run stuffer. Our o-line will do the job for whoever is toting the rock on Sunday.

I agree. I think the other points above about throwing him in on passing downs sounds right too. Maybe his snaps are limited, but any in game experience is good at this point. Don't see the downside to him getting snaps if he's good to go.

Eh... Kind of hoping Cardale steps up into that role. They're both trash.

I think that's right. Even though those cops tried to use their status to rob McCoy's crew then tried to fight them and lost the fight. Then filed a butthurt lawsuit. But McCoy is smart to enough to know he should make doubly sure that people know he supports honest law enforcement.

While all of that may be true, my main point is that shouldn't he have known that this would be an issue, and didn't he put vocally supporting his candidate above not creating an unnecessary distraction for the team? Of course he has the right to speak out about his political beliefs. No one should be against that. But my question is, do we want a coach that places that above concerns for team chemistry and can't think ahead to how these type of things may create an issue? To me, that's what it he did here. Typical Rex IMO. I do hear the argument that you should do your job no matter what, but there's a certain reality to this situation that needs to be acknowledged. Is Rex putting team success on the line here by creating an unnecessary distraction? Bill Belichick is a HUGE tea partier and conservative, be he knows better than to show up at Trump rallies because it is a distraction from winning football games.

http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2016/10/06/bills-reportedly-have-a-trump-related-schism/ I don't know if it's possible to separate the political talk from the football talk, but I do think this is related to the Bills on the field and deserves to be discussed. If folks could put their politics aside, can we have a discussion about whether or not our head football coach should be endorsing candidates and attending rallies regardless of party affiliation? Why risk alienating the locker room on either side? If your main concern is truly about winning and bringing a championship to Buffalo, then why even step into the fray? To me, this is just another example of Rex being more about himself than the team and his recklessness as a coach.

Uhhhhh.... the what?

Is this a real thread? People are fretting about wild card tie-breaker scenarios right now and whether the Bills have the upper hand in that department after week 3? Take it easy Champ. Maybe sit the next couple plays out.

He is and always has been a beast. One of the great Bills of the last decade, and still playing at an extremely high level.

Yeah, now that we've lost many of the key pieces for his 4-3 D, NOW let's go ahead and give him the HC nod. Don't get me wrong, I'd be in favor of it, but it would be such a Bills move.

Should have given him the HC job. He turned around a defense from one of the worst in the league to one of the very best. Pegula should have rewarded that success with a promotion and hired from within. Instead, he tried to make a big splash by getting the big name loud mouth to show he meant business. Players actually loved and respected Scwartz. Under Rex, players just like that they can get away with things and he's easy on them, which is often falsely portrayed to mean Rex is a "player's coach". No, he is just an undisciplined and loose coach, which is far worse than being a hardass disciplinarian.

Mainly just people who don't know what they're watching. You're correct.

But keep up the good work you're doing on the other side Rob/Rex! Everything is just fine there!

Not really sure how you've made that determination about him, but OK.

Wholeheartedly agree. We have not committed to the run at all. Roman's play calling has been predictable, as well. Truth. Good point.

Shady has been one of the few bright spots in the first two weeks. He's done great with the carries he's been given (few), he's made some great cuts/moves to get extra yards, and he's turned a few busted plays into positive yardage. You're mad because he gets met behind the line by defenders and gets tackled? Show me the holes he's missed please. He's done everything he can in this crap offense so far.

Wow. Woods was wide open. Walk in TD. Just can't miss someone that open.

Why did we cut Felton and keep the fake gronk again?

Unprepared. Not ready to play. That's coaching.
