Interesting to listen to McDermott speak about D. Seems like a well spoken guy that is confident, I can see why he was a candidate for several teams..

Yes. Pegula's has also said in an article that the offense produced and insinuated that the other side of the ball was the problem. Even a novice football person would be inclined to keep the productive unit intact.

I don't know anything about McDermott. Is he a disciplinarian, tough guy? Will the offense regress if they hire a defensive guy? I still want my 25 pts per game on O

I just can't see any new coach coming here and saying "yeah I know we were #1 in rushing last year but let's blow that up, get a newbie inexperienced QB, and run a whole new offense".

If someone else hires Lynn, he will suddenly seem very attractive to Bills fans and lament the coach that got away.

Vic Carucci ‏@viccarucci 19m19 minutes ago #Bills in a holding pattern as their top HC candidates McDermott & Lynn interview elsewhere. 53-man roster control still negotiable.

Watson does not look like anything special against a good D like this.

Maybe. But Whaley needs to do his job and hit on some draft picks..,and sign some F/A's that will help reload the roster. Pegs is running a business here...it's a terrible business move to concede, blow it up and try to rebuild. He will lose ticket-buyers by the busload. He's seeing how hard it is with his hockey team to rebuild.

Then I'm ok with the Pegula's plan if true. It's foolish IMO to bottom out, "tank" or hit the reset button. Whatever you wanna call it?!? The team was 7-9 and is not THAT bad. Fix the D, get another receiver in here....the offense can very good. Draft another QB and develop Cardale but there's no reason this team has to start over on offense. With some tweaks they can make the playoffs in 2017. They aren't the Bears, Browns and 49ers....at least Pegula gets that.

Interesting...didn't Whaley object to the Rex hire initially but then went along with it? Thus leading to Pegula letting Whaley lead the search this time. Makes sense since in the Pegs interview he made it sound like he was happy with the offensive production but very disappointed in the D (hence Rex and Rob gone).

Maybe Tyrod could give Matt Moore a lesson in ball security. Just brutal by Moore. Zero pocket awareness and that pick he was just schooled by the LB dropping back

I wanna buy a Lincoln now

As much as I hate Landry, he was a great pick by Miami. He's like an Andre Reed type of WR. Always seems open in the slot, always catches everything, can get open deep occasionally, fairly durable even though he just got dinged.

Seemed like Moore actually saw the guy coming, and still didn't protect the ball. Shoulda thrown it away or turtled

I'd like to see that. I never root for Pittsburgh but would like to see them beat Miami by 40.

The staff indicated TT could have played the Jets game and would have if it mattered towards a playoff berth. Surgery is cleaning up a lingering issue that would not have shelved Tyrod for week 17.

AL gets his first crack at head coach and they took away his QB and saddled him with a guy who is extremely limited. The Pegula's have done the right thing in expressing remorse to AL. They basically stuck him with an embarrassing loss on his resume. That being said, They can finally cut the cord on EJ thanks to that performance and they get a better draft position. It's past history, move on. I'd be perfectly fine with an Lynn/ Gus Bradley coaching ticket and retaining Tyrod as QB in 2017. No reason they can't still draft a QB and develop Cardale simultaneously

Don't worry TT fans... Bills made a point of saying he is in the team highlights video Buffalo Bills ‏@buffalobills 6m6 minutes ago Tyrod: When's the season highlight video drop? Shady: Just did today Tyrod: Am I in it? Shady: Is water wet? WATCH: http://bufbills.co/y9GOLh

The Texans would take Tyrod today and start him over any of their 3 QB's this weekend. The Raiders too for that matter...but he obviously would not supplant Carr in the grand scheme.

I'm really getting tired of John Murphy. I'd like a team broadcaster who is Great. Anyway, there's no reason the Bills can't become great while remaining "good" in the short term. Sometimes all it takes to go from 8-8 to 10-6 are a couple of lucky turnovers or kick returns...(or in the Chiefs case, a 2-pt conversion returned the other way).

Is it at all possible that the "leak" about the Bills moving on from TT and the posturing from the Bills, is all a ploy to somehow benefit the situation down the road? I mean on the surface, it makes zero sense to "move on" from a productive QB in his prime.

It's likely the defense next year would contribute more points or at least set up the offense in great field position from more turnovers. I feel like after the road Miami game (and Aaron Williams' goodbye)...the D really went on a long dry spell helping out the O.

Agree with this. You're throwing out some nice stats today.

This whole thread is just making me root for the Anthony Lynn/Gus Bradley ticket even more. Get them to sign on the dotted line ASAP. If not them the only other coach ticket I'd be excited about would include Kyle Shanahan....and he ain't coming here.

I read a lot of out of town NFL chatter along with national talk. It's obvious that Tyrod is viewed in higher regard in other NFL cities...not Tom Brady/Aaron Rodgers comparisons...but Top-15 type QB. I know that's hard to believe for some Bills fans. Bottom line, if TT is not starting in Buffalo, he will be starting for another team come September 2017.
