This is Whaley's 7th year in the Bills front office. His first three years he was the assistant GM. This season is his fourth as GM. The Bills record during his six plus years with the team is 40-59. Almost 20 games under .500. Not good. The Bills record with him serving as GM is 24-27. Mediocre. You cannot argue that the Bills have not had consistency in the front office during Whaley's tenure. They've had time to implement a 5 year plan, or multiple three year plans. And yet the record is mediocre, if not outright bad. This season is it for Whaley. The team he's built over the last seven years needs to start winning to save his job.

Sully and Gleason are trolls, nothing more. No doubt the current eras of the Sabres and Bills are target rich for critics. And the new owners have made their share of mistakes. A semi-skilled writer could offer insight into what's going on with the team and write some good articles. These guys don't do that though. Instead of offering a clue why Ryan's defense isn't working (maybe compare it to Rob's Saints defense), they call Rex a blowhard and take other easy potshots. And every article they write about the Pegulas reads like a crackpot conspiracy theory. It's difficult to not be critical of the Bills organization over the past few years, but maybe the professional writers could leave the hysteria, cheap insults, and tinfoil hat conspiracies to the Internet, and conduct themselves with some dignity and class.

Pegula needs to hire a czar before he hire the next coach. Spend the next few weeks finding a candidate and then turn football operations over to him.

And the defense gave up huge chunks of yards on 3rd downs to a journeyman QB. Are we really going to argue this? The OC was fired five days into the season by a coach who practices nepotism and is trying to save his own job. It's a total tire fire. It's Mexican soap opera level drama. It's a joke.

The defense had more than enough opportunity to get off the field. The Jets were over 70% on third downs, and converted many 3rd and longs. The defense's problem was the cover 1 that Rex stupidly believed the Bills CBs could handle. Fitzgerald was throwing into tight coverage, and the DBs couldn't make the plays. You would think after the first half, Rex and Rob would figure this out, but the Bills stayed in cover 1 or man 2 for most of the rest of the game. The Bills defense lost that game on 3rd down last night, playing schemes that their secondary personnel couldn't handle.

Reports from Schefter that Roman is being fired.

A master of the obvious.

Jets had 375 yards in the air and 123 on the ground. That's why you hire a defensive genius like Rex Ryan to be your coach!

That would require strategy.

Whaley's been in the front office for what, six years or so, and the Bills had one winning season in that time? Why WOULDN'T you fire him?

You're probably right, and that's why the continuity argument is garbage. Rex is who he is. Giving him another game, or another month, or another season isn't going to change that. He was washed up two years ago. Meanwhile, the franchise sinks in the name of continuity.

As far as I'm concerned, Rex should have been fired after the 2nd game last season (the Patriots home game). Every game since then has just been a waste of time. Rex's neanderthal approach is not a fit for the modern NFL.

Yeah, the Ramsey Bolton strategy from the Battle of the Bastards didn't work there.

The Bills have the worst coaching staff in the league.

This is pathetic.

Hey, a north/south run by Shady!

This defensive scheme looks like something a 9 year old with ADD would call playing Madden.

This is the Saints defense from last year.

Note to Whaley, let Gilmore walk.

Is muscle-head Ed a doctor now?

Look at the Jets 3rd down conversion rate. Chan is schooling Rex.

Rex is a fraud.

Does Rex have any other brothers he can hire to help us out? Maybe a cousin or a nephew?

Well typical Bills game. After a half of terrible football, we get to honor a guy who was drafted over thirty years ago. It's been going on for 16 years now.

Taylor bails on a good pocket and Shady doesn't run out of bounds.
