If the Pegulas don't change their management structure (GM and head coach both report directly to owners) Whaley won't have the opportunity to select the coach.
I would've expected the Bills to win this game because of the history of Miami struggling when they play in Buffalo late in the season. However, the cold in NYC didn't seem to bother them Saturday.
I agree 100%
Rex was very vocal that he wanted Tyrod and he got him. He's had some pull with Whaley.
Chances are, if you asked him to rebuild his staff, he'll balk and then walk. That would take care of the public relations of firing another coach.
Do you guys remember when Bruce Smith was arrested for the same thing back in 1997 when he was with the Skins? That's freakin' hilarious! At least both of them stopped in the intersection.
Speaking from the West coast, where those games started at 6 AM, I only got up to watch that stupid stream-only Bills game, which I couldn't record.
Some real attractive match ups there, maybe Saints/Fish.
Who negotiates these stupid contracts? The Niners and Kap had the same thing in his contract before they renegotiated it. Word was that was why they stuck with Gabbert for so long. They didn't want Kap to get injured and be stuck with him for another year.
I'm surprised I haven't seen anyone mention the end of the game. I know the clocks we see on the broadcast aren't official but they showed the game clock with one more second than the play clock. If that were true, the Bills would've had the ball for one last play. The announcers were saying that was the case. Instead Rex led the team onto the field after the Steelers' kneel down on 4th down. The players were all on the field as the play clock ended and then the game clock just zeroed out.
I know the odds of having a successful Hail Mary at the end in that weather were astronomical but they didn't even try. That was a defeatist and loser attitude by Rex. He should've recognized that one second should be left and argued for it. I would fire him just for that move.
For the rest of you that watched the broadcast, did you see when they showed Pegula in his box I believe late in the 1st quarter? He did not look happy.
And some how he was in on 11 tackles today. I remember at least 2 runs by Bell where P. Brown just reached out and tried to hand tackle him.
Also, the Bills have played enough on their turf to know what shoes to wear yet they seemed to be slipping and sliding more than the Steelers.
Thanks for the link. Once I got in there, I was sucked into the scouting report vortex for about an hour but luckily found my way out. Interesting report on Seantrel Henderson also.
So, they'll be likely drafting a WR to replace one that leaves and drafting a safety to replace a safety (Aaron Williams) that will probably retire. They'll need to use free agency to actually improve the team other than individual player improvement.
And now is the time to go for it. Take advantage of the fact that the Redskins would only give Cousins a 1 year deal and sign him to a free agent deal that they can't match (he's actually going to be a UFA). Of all the QB options that have been discussed, I believe Cousins is the best one. It may cost $25 Mil but I'd rather spend it on him than TT.
