Rockee96 Posted October 30, 2015 Posted October 30, 2015 I am 34 and have been a Bills fan for 24 years. I live in California and have flown across the country to 3 Bills home games only to see them lose all of it. I've been through all the joys and tribulations since 1990. The Jaguars game was the most disheartening game I have seen in 24 years. The root cause of this game and this season has been DOUG WHALEY. He needs to go. He does not care about the team nor the fans. He is selfish and only cares about his ego. Don't we deserve much better as loyal fans? I petition that during our next home game, we fans create "Fire Doug Whaley" signs and wave them in the stadium for the Pegulas to see. I rarely post message like this, but I felt a strong conviction to do so, and I hope you as fans can relate. LETS CREATE "FIRE DOUG WHALEY" SIGNS DURING OUR NEXT HOME GAME. Thoughts?

QB Bills Posted October 30, 2015 Posted October 30, 2015 I'm not a Doug Whaley fan, but its more incompetence than him not caring.
Rockee96 Posted October 30, 2015 Author Posted October 30, 2015 (edited) well at least I tried....I just to let it out. I mean what's the worst that can happen if we try it. Edited October 30, 2015 by Rockee96
The Big Cat Posted October 30, 2015 Posted October 30, 2015 well at least I tried....I just to let it out. I mean what's the worst that can happen if we try it. I don't know. End up looking like a total horse's ass?
Shouldaplayedflutie99 Posted October 30, 2015 Posted October 30, 2015 While not perfect or elite - we are drafting, trading, and paying players better these past few years than we have the 10-15 years prior. I think this is mostly due to Whaley. I think our problems this year are coaching related, not the gm. We have a talented roster, that is because of Whaley. Signs saying to fire him wouldn't fix the way this team is playing.
b stein 22 Posted October 30, 2015 Posted October 30, 2015 We tried firing gms and coaches over and over again. All that has done has made us lose. So lets try something different this time.
Rockee96 Posted October 30, 2015 Author Posted October 30, 2015 thanks bstein and shouldaplayed for your perspective and constructive thoughts.

While I feel your pain, Its not just about the GM this year! So many factors are involved but the buck stops at the GM for the talent on the field, and stops at the coaches at what they do with that talent. So, who hired this HC? The people in the room were the CEO, the GM, and the new owners Terry & Kim Pegula, and the owners made the hire. We recently found out from Leroi that the CEO Russ Brandon has been involved in the draft process, and probably persuaded the new owners that they would know who they wanted as their HC after they spoke with the prospects for the HCing job. More then firing the GM this franchise needs that football czar that Pegula first wanted to hire in Bill Polian, and when Polian backed out they didn't pursue anyone else for that czar job. Even the NFL wanted the new owners to hire an NFL experienced knowledgeable adviser for the team. The 4-12 Jets from last year are now 4-2, and their owner Woody Johnson hired two long time experienced NFL men to hire their new GM, HC for them. Woody chose Ron Wolf & Charley Casserly.

Personal opinion I have been a fan since about 1968 & you sir are way off & dead wrong !! Whaley is one of the best things to happen to the Bills in a long time ! He's brought more talent to this team than it has seen since the 90's & before the past 2 years he was hamstrung by Russ Brandon & Buddy Nix . He has been a leader in bringing the excitement back to the Buffalo Bills & your post shows how much of a rookie you still are when it comes to Bills football !! If the injury bug hadn't hit as hard as it has this year you would be the guy holding the banner at every game & the one partying so much because of the way the team would be playing at full strength you would be the guy every one would be passing on the way to their cars in the parking lot of the Ralph puking your guts out for over indulging in Bills fandom . So before you go saying one of the best thing GM's to come along in a long time needs to go at least let the team get back to full health & full strength before you cut the guy lose. Oh & while your at it let the guys learn the schemes & throw away your Doug Marrone posters !! Go Bills !!
Max997 Posted October 30, 2015 Posted October 30, 2015 (edited) How exactly does Whaley not care about the team, please provide some examples of this? Did Whaley ruin the defense? This team has plenty of talent which is a direct result of the job Whaley has done. Edited October 30, 2015 by Max997
12Kachy Posted October 30, 2015 Posted October 30, 2015 The problem here is Rex Ryan. He came in and changed the scheme for the best d in the league, he is very cocky, and just not a very good head coach. He is one hell of a D coordinator, but his head coaching skills are just weak. Who comes off a beat down by one of the worst teams in the league and gives the players a week off? Rex Fing Ryan. Who continues to get out coached week in and week out? Yup Rex Ryan. The only bully on this team is the secondary and I'm not convinced Whaley didnt just get lucky on Darby and it makes it look like Ryan's d is helping him. Rex Ryan is terrible. Fire him if you are going to get rid of anyone. Go out and hire Schwartz or a Special Teams coach like Bobby April to be head coach. Then you have to hire a O and D coordinator. If the Bills lose against the Dolphins, I don't know how Ryan doesn't quit and sell his truck. He will have lost face to Western NY.
Dr. Fong Posted October 30, 2015 Posted October 30, 2015 Fire the best GM we've had since John Butler left? Sure. We'll get right on it. Have any suggestions for who can replace him?

Rockee96 Posted October 30, 2015 Author Posted October 30, 2015 Okay okay.....maybe I was going a bit overboard.... I'm just really disappointed that he's stuck by EJ for so long and is almost trying to force things to work out with him - almost like fitting a square into a round hole. And he cut Fred Jackson and traded Cassell - you all know this....The moves just didn't make sense as a whole and my gut feeling was that his ego has been hurting the team (and the fans) lately....I mean we could have drafted David Carr or Bridgewater in the past drafts if he had recognized early on that EJ was just not cut out to be a NFL QB...I could go on and on, but hopefully you see where I am coming from.
