The part where it is luck, and good special teams. Come on, who scores a 2 pt INT runback on a 2 pt conversion attempt to win the game? No one ever has. Except them.
...and the Broncos over the Saints.
-
if you took a look at the majority of those wins, you would see where the luck comes into it, they aren't winning because they were soundly beating people
Who cares if they were soundly beating people? Luck runs out, 20 out of 24 is a trend, not luck.
-
They have a very big horseshoe up their rear ends. We managed to give the game away against them the last 3 meetings. Its too bad that we didn't play them again this year so we could choke away another game!
Did you see the stat about winning 20 of 24? I personally wouldn't chalk that up to luck.
If you want to argue they aren't built for a deep playoff run, different story.

This team wins out Rex isnt going anywhere
Disagree. What if they win next week and get eliminated anyway? I think that's possible, not sure.
My take is that he is getting canned unless they make the playoffs.
-
i think a trade is being discussed, not him getting fired
Not sure exactly how it works, but I don't see Payton accepting being traded to the Bills...or any other team he's not interested in coaching. The Colts I could see.
-
They have won 20 of their last 24 games. Amazing.
Yup. OP touched on it, but one of my favorite quotes is: "Statistics are for losers".
-
They must be pleased with his replacement.
Yeah, not so much. Lets hope we're more pleased with our Rex replacement!
-
My cousins who are huge Jets fans and other Jets fans I know wish he never got fired from that job.
I get smirks from my bro-in-laws who are Jets fans that are happy to be rid of Rex.
-
At the risk of getting torched, the Raiders are my second team. It's been that way since the 70's for me.
The 51-3 playoff game was awesome/torture. Two weeks ago was rough. The Raiders had more to gain, but my heart was with the Bills.
What's crazy is how bad the Raiders have been since their last SB. The Bills have been a 6-8 win team. The Raiders were more like a 3-5 win team.
Forget continuity, tanking for a draft choice, blah blah blah. It's about the QB (Carr was not a first rounder) and more to the point good drafts (Khalil Mack anyone?)
-
Agreed. It has to remain TT's job until somebody takes it from him. Does that mean give him that upcoming payday? Hell no! He hasn't earned that, but he can be brought back under an incentive laden one year 'show me something new' deal if possible.
Agreed part 2.
TT may not be the long term answer but at a reasonable price he's worth keeping around until we strike QB gold.
-
Kubiak... DelRio.. Crennel... Whisenhunt...
These guys just go around and around. Speaking of Schwartz, his defenses were not good in Detroit.
I totally get your question and in my mind you missed the poster child: Wade Phillips. I think the difference is that Rex has too big of an ego/personality to take the step backwards.
-
To all those that mocked the OP: thanks for the laughs, outstanding!
Whaley is by far the biggest issue currently with the Bills.
Over the past 16 years the Bills have never ONCE had a clear rebuilding vision and plan.
If by vision and plan you mean QB, then I agree.
-
Do we fire a 9-7 coach?
Great (hypothetical) question.
I'd say yes, if we don't make the playoffs and no if we do.
I get that most (myself included) want Rex gone, but I think he gets a stay of execution if we miraculously make the playoffs. And as much as I agree that making the playoffs would be a step backwards, I want it anyway. In the same vein, firing a coach before you're eliminated from the post season makes no sense at all to me.
-
There would be a big bidding war for his services. Further, the Bills would be up against some dome teams and warm weather teams.
The coaching carousel could be big this year with some wild cards thrown in. What if Arians retires? What if the Colts fire Pagano to take a run at Payton?
What if the Eagles have seen enough of Pederson?
In spite of the TBD poster who is trying to convince us that Luck sucks, if Pagano gets canned Payton would appear to be a great fit for the Colts. I don't see any way he comes to Buffalo.
-
It's all Relative. We're talkin' Bills here.
Do you prefer JP, Trent, Kyle Holcomb, Brian Brobm, Levi Brown, EJ, Kyle Orton, or Hotrod Taylor?
Am I missing anyone?

Da !@#$ you say? You may wanna stick to the "fat lady sings" slogan.
We mock what we don't understand.
It's a quote from Animal House.

I want us to destroy the browns 100-0. 6td by TT while throwing for under 300yds and 300yds rushing and 4td by shady. The rest of the scoring comes via safeties as we snap RG3's legs in half.
GTFOH. Yes. I want the Buffalo Bills to win EVERY game!
Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor?
It ain't over and as much as I agree that Rex needs to go and Tyrod isn't the answer, we are not out, I still want a playoff game, and rooting for the Bille to lose (even for the perceived greater good) just isn't in me.
-
This game wasn't on my radar but I was fortunate to tune in just after Army's go ahead drive and witness the emotional ending. Since I never served, rooting for Army over Navy (or vice versa) would be like trying to pick which twin son to root for if they played against each other. Gotta put attending an Army/Navy game on the bucket list and since I'm close I gotta put a West Point home game on the short list.

Pros:
1) He has the Pegulas ear(s)...they like him.
2) Has been involved in an assortment of positions in the NFL.
3) He knows all the "players" (coaches, agents, players, colleges, etc)
4) It would take him off the sideline as a coach
5) Intelligence
6) Respected in NFL circles
7) Can identify talent (Ed Reed, Mo Wilkerson, Ivory, Mo Lewis, etc.)
8) Can work with others and plays his cards close to the vest.
9) It would take him off the sidelines as a coach x2
10) *add your own thoughts*
So our path to a new coach is promoting a failure to a position he's never held?
I'm usually a "stay the course" guy, but my minimum expectation for Rex was a strong defense. Two years in and we are anything but that, and we all know where the D was at before he arrived.
Rex is a natural fit for broadcasting. Dump Collinsworth and bring in Rex. It would probably be highly entertaining for a year or so.

Nothing.
+1
Am I really the first with the +1? Can I make it a +47?

Revis has nothing to be ashamed about, he has had a hall of fame career. Honestly why would he want to play anymore? He has made more than enough money, has his ring, has his legacy as one of the best corners of all time. Why put your body thru that punishment. Guy like Brady are rare breeds that want to still play. He will be sorry one day to that he refused to get out of the game when the going was good. Why put your body at risk, he has nothing left to play for. He is already considered by most the GOAT. If he continues to play, my guess is he will take that one or two shots that will effect on his later life. After 17 years in the NFL for Brady it is time to get out. But my guess is he will play until he has a career/life altering injury. Some guys got to learn the hard way. 40 year old guys are not meant to play QB in the NFL.
I disagree that Brady is the rare breed with regard to wanting to play, he's the rare breed because the skills haven't faded. There are plenty of examples of superstars that hang on too long after the skills have faded. I think its their drive to compete/play that made them a cut above the rest to begin with. And I never begrudge the superstar that wants to play as long as he can when everyone thinks he should hang up the cleats, I admire the love of game and will to compete.

Road rage killings are insane. Probably the best example of our society breaking down (I don't believe it is breaking down just saying that would be Exhibit A for the case that it is).
Get out of your car with your loaded weapon (that you just so happen to have on you b/c, you know, you're driving around), and kill somone you've never met before, over nothing, in a matter of seconds/minutes.
Pretty sad and discouraging.
Well put.
Just senseless.

Unconfirmed but my 10 year old claims to have gotten the Bills to the top seed.
-
While I like the idea, the problem is they're trying to make it easier on the officials, not harder. That's one reason a face mask is a 15 yarder, the refs no longer have to decide on whether it's flagrant.
As for the college rule, forget it. The receivers will get mugged on every long pass.

Couldn't have said it any better....well, maybe "sometimes" was an understatement.
