As much as I like the fact the Pegulas bought the team and are committed to keep the team in Buffalo. As owners I have not been impressed with them as owner. I know I know, they have only been owners for a year, but the biggest decision they have made so far was hiring Rex Ryan. The sheer fact that they were ones that hired him personally instead of allowing Whaley and the other football personnel do it is just the type of hand-on approach that a constant criticism of the Ralph Wilson era. Pegula made a similar mistake early in his Sabres tenure instead of letting go the Reiger/Ruff regime, he lets the stick around and the Sabres collapse and are now re-building. I'm not saying the Pegulas are bad owners, I'm just questioning their ability to trust their football personnel and empower them instead of stepping on their shoes and making executive decision without their input.

Yeah Pegulas didn't throw the challenge flag. :doh:

My overarching point that who hired Rex and did not do their due diligence in doing research on Rex Ryan as a head coach. I think that would be the Pegulas

The Pegulas are making a lot of money. That's the only reason why they own the Sabres and the Bills.

Congrats.

 

This is the most uninformed statement I'll read today.

 

Well done...again.

Anytime your owners are involved with hiring anyone except for the executive VP in charge of football operations, it is a huge mistake. They shouldn't be involved with the interviewing or have any say in the hiring/firing of a GM/personnel guys/coaches. NONE.

True, but why would they make such an important decision without the benefit of advice from a wise head. I mean having heard of Rex Ryan just isn't reason enuf. 25 for 5 - are you kidding me?

Thank you that was my whole point. I blame that on inexperience, hopefully they understand that you must empower your football personnel to make decisions, now do some of the decision for them. Hopefully they get a President of Football Operations along with Whaley in the offseason moving forward and allow them to make the personnel moves.

This is taking the narcissistic desire for instant gratification to a whole new level. :lol:

the owners are fine it will take time for them to overhaul the team just like the Sabres ... so give it a few yrs

Oh great, another 3 year plan. Can't wait.

No, it's seeing the one of the big problems with the Bills franchise in last 15 years perpetuating terribly, bad coaching hires particularly retreads.

Wow, I said this when they bought the team. History repeats itself. The good news is we may be looking at a quicker turn around then the Sabres, but I knew it would get worse before it got better. I was optimistic, but the Bills are done this year.

 

Rex should get canned, but it won't happen. The Pegulas will keep him on board for one or two more years. They have to give him time to make the team "his". All Ryan has done was extend his Jets mess to Buffalo.

You're complaining about the performance over less than a season.

 

Yes, it's a narcissistic need for instant gratification. Grow up.

You, young man.. or young girl.. need to get a grip.

 

1. The only reason the Bills are in Bflo to make you upset is because of TP.

 

2. If you expect instant NFL winnings because of one season of changes... you are wrong.

 

It's premature at this point to be raging at TP or RR. For context: Belicheck was 5-11 his first season with the Patsys.
