Not at the table Karlos Posted June 5, 2015 Posted June 5, 2015 Wow. They have lost most of their good players this is crazy

I talked about Roman with my good friend who is a 9ers fan. He wasn't happy with him this past year but I think things were starting to fall apart in SF and nothing was going right. All the injuries and tension with the front office. I'm still happy with the Roman hire. Edited June 5, 2015 by ko12010
SF Bills Fan Posted June 5, 2015 Posted June 5, 2015 Niners fans can thank Jed York for completely mismanaging the team to where they are now. I drove by the new stadium yesterday and, while it is nice, they completely botched the location. that was just the first bad decision he went with several years ago. Getting rid of Harbaugh was the most recent. These retiring are a fallout from that. It is a prime example of taking something not broken and breaking it to pieces. They could have won the Superbowl a few years ago and now they may not even make 4 wins this year.

I wonder if that fan was happy with him when they were having winning records, playoff runs, and chances to win championships

Jed York is mis-managing that team at the highest level. I have no idea why they would pass over the high quality coordinators and ex-HC candidates that were available on the market to hire Tomsula, but every report out of that camp says that was a joke of a hire.

What a Tuel Posted June 5, 2015 Posted June 5, 2015 (edited) I wonder if that fan was happy with him when they were having winning records, playoff runs, and chances to win championships My one niner fan friend seems to have a grudge against him because he supposedly made the wrong call in the super bowl or something. I think it is just looking for someone to blame. Edited June 5, 2015 by What a Tuel
Hapless Bills Fan Posted June 5, 2015 Posted June 5, 2015 My one niner fan friend seems to have a grudge against him because he supposedly made the wrong call in the super bowl or something. I think it is just looking for someone to blame. Right now I'd be thrilled at the opportunity to have a grudge against our coach for making the wrong call in the super bowl.
Beastly Dareus Posted June 5, 2015 Posted June 5, 2015 (edited) There has to be some major internal issues going on there. I dont think there has ever been this many young solid starters retire from the same team in the same offseason. Patrick Willis, Chris Borland and now Anthony Davis? Justin Smith was understandable, but the others are strange Edited June 5, 2015 by Beastly Dareus
johnwalter Posted June 5, 2015 Posted June 5, 2015 The water? What water? i think someone's been listening to a little too much of katy perry's 2010 hit: 'california girls'
Andrew Son Posted June 5, 2015 Posted June 5, 2015 And with the first pick in the 2016 NFL draft the San Francisco 49ers select...
1billsfan Posted June 5, 2015 Posted June 5, 2015 You can be sure that Kaepernick and his 19 million a year contract will probably be cut outright when they finish around 4-12 and have a very long rebuilding road ahead of them. That's probably going to be one QB name on the list of potential veteran QBs the Bills will look at if none of the current QBs are the answer this year. Other potential QBs available through trade or free agency could possibly be Wilson, E. Manning, Bradford, Brees, Rivers, RGIII. Some are obviously long shots, but those QB contracts have got out of hand. Eventually a team will do the unthinkable and move on instead of paying one player, franchise QB or not, 20 million a year. I looks like the Bills won't see the same vast wasteland in the QB market that they did this past offseason if it comes down to that (hopefully the answer at QB is here though!).

It's like the whole team is protesting the decision to get rid of harbaugh. The just can't publicly criticize York. There GM sucks too. Nobody wants to play there and yup, they will be lucky to get 4 wins for sure. These guys were all sold on harbaugh and this new coach seems like a yes man and a dipsh!t
jimmy10 Posted June 5, 2015 Posted June 5, 2015 What a shame. I was kind of happy to see that once-proud franchise on the rise again. So much for that.
What a Tuel Posted June 6, 2015 Posted June 6, 2015 Right now I'd be thrilled at the opportunity to have a grudge against our coach for making the wrong call in the super bowl. Same here!
BuffaloMatt Posted June 6, 2015 Posted June 6, 2015 Davis needed a year off to heal body and mind. Returning unearned portion of signing bonus with intent to return in a year or two. Will be 27ish. Good move. When he returns IF he is in shape he will have value. And I could not be happier to see the niners fail. Remember this? Plummer's third-quarter blast on running back Darick Holmes set up Lee Woodall's 96-yard fumble return for a touchdown and allowed the 49ers to rock Buffalo, 27-17, in Candlestick Park before 65,568. "That's the hit of the year," 49er linebacker Ken Norton said. "That's one of those kinds of hits you can hear. I mean, standing on the field near the play, you could even feel it. And it turned the whole game around. Buffalo (8-5), poised to break a 10-10 tie in the third quarter, had the ball on the San Francisco one-yard line with first and goal. Quarterback Jim Kelly handed the ball to Holmes, who had been inserted in the second half to replace an injured Thurman Thomas (leg cramps), and Holmes aimed for the end zone. Hated them ever since!!!!
