Buffalo Bills Fire Offensive Coordinator Greg Roman

[May Day 10]

 

Rex kickin guys off the titanic!

[Wayne Cubed]

I trust Harbaugh's instincts about coaches. Harbaugh is a great coach -- regardless of whether I like his personality or not. I decidedly do not trust Rex's instincts about coaches, although to be fair he did lure Roman here in the first place.

 

Yea that's fair, my point was Harbaugh was an offensive guy, how much say did he have as opposed to Roman. Who was really leading that offense? Up for debate if you ask me. It's a lot like giving Marrone credit for being OC in New Orleans.

Scheter saying pegula called the meeting this morning.

 

Also, Rex Ryan has the full support of ownership and it is "his team".

Those two statements are mutually exclusive, aren't they? How can the owner be the one behind this, but still say that this is Rex's team?

[Never NEVER Give-up]

WOW
To me, this is the white flag. An offense everyone is now supposedly comfy with is being thrown out? Hmmm, last time we did this Jauron canned Turk Schonert and we all know how that season turned out.

 

Smacks of panicking. Change for the sake of change is never the answer. I hope they have a way forward, otherwise the next 15 weeks will be as miserable as the 1st two.

 

Tyrod must really be great and Roman was restricting him - gosh, let's hope so. (Not betting on this.)

[Bleeding Bills Blue]

That play call was ridiculous. One of the most obvious play calls I have ever seen

 

If you're running into that line - you do it on 3rd. You may get just enough.

 

If you want to sneak on 4th, it needs to be really close, and you need to quick count it.

 

They were a full yard back. Lost yards on a stupid EJ sneak. Wasted a timeout. and then ran a hb dive into an 11 man front.

 

What are you DOING?!!!?!

When is Rex firing himself?

[billfan63]

Makes sense, your coming off a game where the defense makes Fitz look like Joe Montana and gives up 493 yds and you fire the offensive guy.

[HOF4LOU]

seems lynn has a pretty good reputation out there. I like the change. I'm sick of our slow offense. Pick it up a notch, spread it out, be less predictable.

 

[stevewin]

What do you have against the coaches at Lancaster?? Why subject them to THAT??

They would only have to coach on game days. Maybe have one practice a week at the HS. Team would still be better off

[Westside Madness]

Downtown at 716 bar, the place erupted with claps when the news came on tv

I was eating lunch in there from 12:35 - 1:35. I must have missed it somehow. None of the 50 TVs had anything on about it either...weird.

[BillsFan130]

Yikes; this is not good.

 

I really liked Roman. The problem is with the players, IMO.

Really? The players did not perform I will give you that. But those plays calls were so predictable. It is pretty sad when a person like me who has played 1 year of football in my life can tell you what play the bills are going to run next

Ummm...there is NO way the offense playbook is being thrown out in mid-season. Just a new guy calling plays.

in that he has no OC experience, it should be unpredictable for a minute here.

Agreed. And the worst part is they just telegraphed those plays. EJ comes in, its an obvious sneak. Felton comes in, it's an obvious run. Just brutal

[2020 Our Year For Sure]

This is an excellent move!!!

 

-Tyrod is better than he's playing right now.

 

-We can't even run the ball when that is supposed to be Roman's driving force.

 

-We can't perform the basic football function of hurrying up.

 

-We can't avoid 3 and outs, can't possess the ball when that's supposed to be our strength.

 

-He's never really coached a particularly good offense anyway, after like 6 years.

[YoloinOhio]

I go to the store, come back, this....

[snafu]

unfortunately, almost every critique you just levied are hallmarks of rex/rob right now too

 

Agreed, that's why I threw in that last sentence.

[fridge]

Give up 400 yards to Ryan Fitzpatrick, turn around and fire Roman. Sure, why not

 

I gotta say, this is one of the most transparent scapegoat firings in recent memory.

 

Honestly, had they done this after week 1, few would argue...but after letting Fitzpatrick hang 37 points on you...seems pretty obvious Rex is scared. I'd expect the blame game to continue as the losses pile on.

[What a Tuel]

I have really hated the play calls for the last decade. We always seem to be throwing and running 4 yards behind the line of scrimmage.

I hope we don't lose him to a head coaching jo.....oh whoops....wrong fall guy
