The Big Cat

Yeah. I have my own thoughts on it too. But in this case, I'm pretty certain, based on what I've heard.

No new info, sounds like. Just speculating with some of the dots others have already begun to connect.

He won't restructure

Can I chair the farewell party committee?

Can he? Sure. Will he? The probability is exceptionally low. As is the case with 25+ starters at any given time in the NFL.

I know you didn't justify something Taylor does by showing Alex Smith does it too...

Where are you? I accidentally had breakfast at the San Diego Bills Backers Bar last week!

The only good defenses he coached continued to get better after he left. So...

And yet others say the exact opposite

The Bradley love is baffling. I'm glad he's not our D.C.

I'd welcome the reprieve!

...so did Rex (runs for cover)

His relationship with the media is in shambles. From now on, he won't be able to speak into a microphone without being "misunderstood." They'll make damn sure of that. Sort of like how they just couldn't find it in themselves to grasp the organizational structure/hierarchy that was in place/reported on/crystal !@#$ing clear two years before they were suddenly dumb to it and--for god only knows why--blaming Whaley for their new found ignorance.

guys on twitter don't like the oc for their team without a qb? huh. you don't say.

None of these hires have been prompted with rumors, only announced as finalized. VERY interesting indeed.

So Whaley still around and the leaks have all been plugged. Methinks they weren't coming from his camp, but rather from the guys who showed up late and left early.

Nothing like a guy who goes up and down a Bills message board telling everyone he's better than them. You're outstanding.

It is news. It has never been reported. I know for certain that a lot of things you suspect aren't true. This one just happened to be.

Why? Why is that funny? Shouldn't the guy running the day to day be the one to set the tone? Shouldn't we be at the very least intrigued by a HC who embodies organizational change? Which is it? If you think the people who hired him are losers, why is he taking flack for trying to instill a winning mentality? Oh. That's right. Everybody in the organization is a boob regardless of what they do. Never mind. Carry on.

It's amazing. When HOU fired their OC, the majority of Bills fans I saw/heard/read understood that he was the fall guy for BO's failures. Yet when have an offense that can't function, run by QB's with no prior success, who never go on to be successful elsewhere, fans insist on blaming our OC and "playcalling." All-22 analysis really slammed the door shut on that nonsense, for the most part. Ashame it wasn't more prevalent with Hackett was here, otherwise fans would have seen precisely what you mention above (which was painfully obvious).

So we hire a focussed, disciplined, faith-based coach to replace Rex Free Love on the Free Love Freeway Ryan and people wonder where this "core values" talk is suddenly coming from? You don't think the culture is being driven by...oh, I don't know...the HC we all expected to come in and change the culture, do you? And isn't this the antithesis to what infuriated the Wex Pwomised crowd for two years?

Their window is closing.

Except in this case, that certain someone lights up a cigarette, sets your couch on fire and is standing in your backyard shouting at the moon hours after the party ends, keeping you up all night. Then the next morning you find him passed out with his head resting on the bottom shelf of your open refrigerator.

You don't like it? I have to sit down. The room is spinning.
