Bill from NYC

Great closing to a great post! It's easy for most to see just how bad Rex is. My question is: When does Whaley also get held responsible for this sad circus? Are you sure? Saban, a Belichick disciple, claims to prepare his team more to do their individual jobs and less for the particular team they are facing. I heard him say this but then again, it might not be the truth.

This is SO true. What I don't understand is why. Would you please tell us why you think Rex would change from a swaggering tough guy to an oversized Dick Jauron? This is what I just can't figure out. Has there ever been a highly successful defensive coach who was not aggressive? Also, doesn't the fact that the game is now a passing game increase the need for pass rush? I have seen Von Miller take over games and win them for his team. Our linemen are dancing, jumping and/or in pass coverage. I don't understand.

>>>>>Rex took a top 5 defense and made it the laughing stock of the league. The race to the bottom churned into a new gear when he hired his brother. Brandon, Whaley and the Pegulas should have known better.<<<<< John, how was the above sarcastic or troll bait? Our defense makes that of Jauron look efficient and aggressive. It is sickening to watch. The poster might not be saying what you want to hear, but it doesn't make him wrong.

OK, THAT was funny!!!

38-35 Cards. Tyrod plays well but the Bills bring no pass rush and get picked apart.

I think that Marlon would go sooner if he was just a tad faster. That said, he certainly does have great skills. It will be fun to see where these guys go.

I'm pretty sure that you know that I root for the Tide. Marlon Humphrey is a fine player. I have seen every game he has played in and even watched his father play. That said, with or without Gilmore on the team, he is not by any stretch of the imagination worthy of a top 5 pick. There are at least 3 defenders on the Alabama roster that I would prefer to see on the Bills. Jonathan Allen gets better before your eyes. Tim Williams is virtually unstoppable as a pass rusher, and Reuben Foster does everything at lb. Everything, and he hits like a truck. One major problems of the Bills has been drafting to fill holes. Humphrey, imo, is more of a late first round pick.

Perhaps. Does this mean we should all approve of the way he was used last season? He sure looked better to me in 2014, ya know?

Him, or our first round corner to replace Gilmore.

Bro, what about the dancing and waving. The guy probably weighs between 340 and 350 lbs. Are you really going to tell me that you approve of the way our 350 million dollar front 4 was used last season?

Sure 26! Last year they won 8 games. And, they did it with 21 qb sacks, more than a 60% decline. Dareus was often back in coverage and sometimes when he was not, he was often standing around the LOS jumping and dancing. Rex couldn't even get production from Mario Williams in a 4/3. WE had 54 sacks before Rex got here. How many do you expect this seaon? How about the seemingly non-stop penalties? And btw, did Gilmore even try last week? These are just some of the ways Rex destroyed the team, and none are OK. This team is now, imo, awful. I said it before the season started. Whaley had a few good draft picks. Great!!! Fine thanks, but he also continues to overpay some players and peddle away draft picks. I make the case that we need a coach and a GM who are good at their jobs Bro. Whaley and Rex ARE simply awful imo.

No doubt, but do you view Rex as competent enough to make a change? He should be the first one out the door, followed by Whaley and Brandon. These are 3 men who are horrible at their jobs if the goal is to win football games. And Roman might be awful too, but I would take him over Rex in a heartbeat. We can pretend all is well and sing songs and roast marshmallows around the tire fire, but these 3 guys have turned a mediocre team into a disaster, and they had MUCH more of a negative impact than Roman. Jmo.

WOW!!! :) After all these years, this is still a good board. The above is nothing short of pure originality that paints a vivid picture. I am thinking that quite a bit of suffering went into that post. I keep on telling ya.....Bills Fans are the greatest fans of any team in any sport. Not too many other fans would put up with this poor product and remain loyal.

My take on this never went over that well on this board, but I think that he was a dumb pick to begin with. I'm sorry, does he play like a #10 selection in a draft? Is this what people see when they watch Gilmore? For the record, he isn't a BAD player. He looked a whole lot better before Rex came to town and turned the Bills DL into his version of "Dancing Without The Stars." And this would apply to any corner. When a qb has all day to throw, he will complete passes. Did anyone see Von Miller take over the game last night? My deceased grandmother could have been playing corner and it would have made no difference. My point is that in this passing league, teams need pass rush. The Bills have good corners and no pass rush and this CAN'T work. And now, Gilmore doesn't look as if he cares. One of 2 things will most likely happen: 1) Gilmore walks and they "fill the hole" with a first round draft choice, even if it's a top 5 pick. 2) Whaley breaks the bank and gives Gilmore whatever he wants. I think #2 is more likely because Whaley is a worse spender than most of our ex-wives. Sorry to rant but this truly is a mess. My vote is for Gilmore to walk, but I want it to be in a parade led by Rex, Brandon and Whaley.

Peter, you SHOULD defend Rex if you think its appropriate to do so. Do you think he is a good coach? Do you just like him as a person? Both? I am being serious btw.

Stop hating and being miserable. Try to come to grips to the fact that the University of Alabama Crimson Tide Football Team are the National Champions. Btw, you hate Bills Fans and blast them several times per day and even blame fans for the Bills sad state of affairs. Do you credit Tide Fans for the team being so good?

Good post but you stopped just short of the 2006 draft, which was an absolute killer to this team. Just horrible.

You left out the part about trading away draft choices.

Sorry, but I must respectfully completely disagree with the above. Beside the point? Really? Brandon hired Whaley and Rex who are both incompetent. I think that this is beyond question. Brandon is a huckster along the lines of a barker at a cheap travelling carnival. He didn't hire Rex to win football games as much as to be a ticket selling blowhard. Remember he said we would be "bullies," and the team went down more than 60% in sacks? Bullies? Whaley and Rex are simply awful at what they do. Imo, neither will ever serve again in their current capacities. Who in their right mind would want them? Well, Brandon did and they all need to be fired. Hey, jmo. What is it that you want him to say? Seriously Promo, and I am not trying to be combative. What do you really think he should say after 17 years of bad management. Even you implied the other day that this team sucks.

Is Alex Van Pelt available?

We are already competitive. We just might get the first selection of the draft!

It is certainly a possibility. Why do you really think he was hired? He is more of an attention grabbing blowhard than a football coach.

I was the lone 4-12 vote in the recent poll. Looking back I was optimistic. Now I will say 2 to 4 wins. What a freaking shame.

As I recall, he makes 5.4 million per season guaranteed. It will cost lots of money to dump Rex, and probably the other 2 stooges as well.
