Freddie's Dead Posted September 16, 2016 Posted September 16, 2016 Whaley only needs more time, let's not forget CONTINUITY. Yes, where oh where are the mavens of continuity? They were all over the board at the end of last season.
The Frankish Reich Posted September 16, 2016 Posted September 16, 2016 Do you think Rex was going to allow his brother to be fired? Dream on! There is little talent to build around on the roster. Think about it. Who can you build around that will be here in 2-3 years? Watkins can't stay healthy. Dareus is an addict. Gillmore is gone as a FA. Taylor is a stop-gap QB. Not sure about Lawson or Ragland but the Bills talent pool is pathetic. Bills biggest problems going forward: 1. No QB 2. Too much money tied up in players who are/will be going into decline: McCoy, Dareus, Glenn, Hughes. 3. Mediocre drafts/giving up a pick for Watkins = no infusion of younger/cheaper talent. I can't stand Rex, but bad coaching is not the biggest problem.
Hapless Bills Fan Posted September 16, 2016 Posted September 16, 2016 Fitz was actually very good last night. I saw spirals even. I was wondering if I was the only one who noticed that. I came in late and turned on just as TV was showing a ball flying through the air targeting a Jets receiver. I said "who's QBing the Jets?" Seriously, I did! Then I saw it was Fitz "whoa, really?"
jletha Posted September 16, 2016 Posted September 16, 2016 Firing the OC after the D lays the biggest egg in recent memory is an interesting idea... The offense has laid 2 eggs now. Its not gonna fix us, and were still gonna suck but it cant hurt.
CommonCents Posted September 16, 2016 Posted September 16, 2016 I had Greg Roman 5th on my list of top 5 problems last night. Trust the Bills to deal with the last one first. Apply for the czar position! Keep in mind what your seeing on gameday is only half of it. We have no idea what changes or expectations they put on Roman and the offense. Be quicker with play calls? Be more efficient on third downs? Change your play calling? Don't trot EJ out there for back to back sneaks? Stop making me burn all my damn timeouts? Point being if he failed to adjust according to what his superiors wanted he may have made himself #1 on the block. Some of it reeks of a scapegoat but you can't excuse embarrassing efforts on back to back weeks. Refusing/failing to improve/adjust your style will get you fired at many places.

Fitz was throwing darts last night. We kept waiting for the big mistake. Still waiting.... This just in, Fitz is good sometimes.
87168 Posted September 16, 2016 Posted September 16, 2016 (edited) Fitz was throwing darts last night. We kept waiting for the big mistake. Still waiting.... This just in, Fitz is good sometimes. Helps when he's facing minimal pressure. Fitz was on our teams for years, so we know what he can do. Hughes was the only one last night to even tough the qb. I place part of the blame on the fact that the defense was just gassed. the offense could not stay on the field. Edited September 16, 2016 by 87168
stevewin Posted September 16, 2016 Posted September 16, 2016 @ChrisTrapasso From #Bills source: "Embarrassing on national TV and consensus was they were out-coached again on both sides of the ball. No in game adjustments at all and it showed" fixed
26CornerBlitz Posted September 16, 2016 Author Posted September 16, 2016 Lol no. Tyrod did not let him down. Roman's inability to call a modern offense was the problem. It won't change by next Sunday but at least Rex is on his way out. If you're laughing at this, then you missed the 1st two games where TT has been below par with many missed opportunities to keep drives going.
Hapless Bills Fan Posted September 16, 2016 Posted September 16, 2016 30 years NFL scouting, 9 years as Scouting Director (Bears) https://t.co/XjnDt83tWb, https://t.co/KtNkYucKy7, analyst 670theScore, Gabriel Consulting Inc. Thanks Cornerblitz. Football is a business that pays for results. I don't think it's optimal to fire a guy mid-season, but it's entirely possible that the post-season analysis included a laundry list of improvements for G-Ro: 1) more timely play calling 2) better game management: time outs etc 3) installation and practice on a hurry-up offense So from the first 2 games, regardless of the number of points the D allowed, we see that the Bills still have absolutely no hurry-up offense, have poor game management, and the scuttlebut is plays coming in late. If that was behind the firing, he's being fired for performance issues, and scapegoating really isn't the term. Gabriel is NOT in a position to know if he is, or if he isn't, but he can surely see the game management problems on the O side of the ball. Then we get to the concerns raised last year by Dilfer, Billick, and Simms about the type of passing game the Bills were running.
Manther Posted September 16, 2016 Posted September 16, 2016 By the way - Terry and Kim, good luck attracting top-tier coordinators from now on. Please

I do love how Fitz seemed more willing to pull the ball down and run with it than Tyrod ...
Nihilarian Posted September 16, 2016 Posted September 16, 2016 Fired the wrong coach. Should have been Rex Ryan Rex is just covering his arse by firing the guy who would have been his replacement
GottaRun Posted September 16, 2016 Posted September 16, 2016 It took 5 actual days to kill my belief in the Bills this year. This might be a record. I'll still tailgate and go to the games, but what a cluster****

Jets first drive was a long one. The d wasn't tired to begin the game. The d was terrible last night all on it's own.
Hapless Bills Fan Posted September 16, 2016 Posted September 16, 2016 When your offensive and defensive lines suck, I am unclear how this is Roman's fault. Just goes to show how a person can be deceived, I thought our OL played very well last night. Rex is just covering his arse by firing the guy who would have been his replacement OH! now that's an interesting take on the subject.
KD in CA Posted September 16, 2016 Posted September 16, 2016 I'm a Bills fan and I approve this message.
Benjamin Franklin Posted September 16, 2016 Posted September 16, 2016 Just goes to show how a person can be deceived, I thought our OL played very well last night. OH! now that's an interesting take on the subject. In pass protection only.
GG Posted September 16, 2016 Posted September 16, 2016 I do love how Fitz seemed more willing to pull the ball down and run with it than Tyrod ... Fitz had a wide open middle of the field. Jets defense specifically clogged up the middle.
Freddie's Dead Posted September 16, 2016 Posted September 16, 2016 I do love how Fitz seemed more willing to pull the ball down and run with it than Tyrod ... No third and pu$$y for Fitz, he gets that first down or takes the big hit for trying.
