Rico Posted December 11, 2016 Posted December 11, 2016 Jerry Sullivan @TBNSully 6m6 minutes ago Jerry Sullivan Retweeted NFLTradeRumors.co Sounds like someone in Bills management is feeding stuff to the national media. "Superior talent?" Says who? http://nfltraderumors.co/bills-hc-rex-ryan-fired-soon-monday-oc-anthony-lynn-possible-interim-hc/ "“I’d say I’m 95 percent sure Rex is gone by the end of the season,” one source who has been in contact with owner Terry Pegula tells La Canfora “and he could be out as soon as Monday.” According to La Canfora, Ryan’s relationship with GM Doug Whaley and other team executives has “always been rocky” and the team believes they have assembled “superior talent” to the results they’ve seen this season. Beyond that, La Canfora says that the relationship between Ryan and Whaley “is not tenable” long term, and ownership is aware of this. In regards to front office changes, La Canfora reports that Pegula has “cooled” on the possibility of hiring a senior vice president of football operations and Whaley has forced a strong bond with ownership." "La Canfora’s sources have said that the team is “intrigued” by rookie QB Cardale Jones, and it’s “virtually certain” Buffalo will not pick up Taylor’s option next year. “Unless Tyrod turns into Russell Wilson the last four weeks — and that’s if he’s even playing all four weeks — then he’s not going to get that option,” a source with knowledge of the situation tells La Canfora." Never said this on the board before, but D-O-O-O-O-MED!! 18 and counting.
26CornerBlitz Posted December 11, 2016 Posted December 11, 2016 John Wawrow @john_wawrow 3m3 minutes ago Which ever def-con level is high in regards to #Bills and this report, I'd lean to the low end of the def-con scale. Never fully trust a LaConjecture story.
Rico Posted December 11, 2016 Posted December 11, 2016 Whaley seems to poison every coach he works with. Indeed.
baskingridgebillsfan Posted December 11, 2016 Posted December 11, 2016 I don't see it as Rex saying that he was not going to play Cardale at all. Just not with the team still in playoff contention. Here is the issue. Front office play jones Rex. Guarantee me I will be back if we go 6-10 Crickets That is why tomorrow will be a big day with a loss Rex will either definitely be back or fired tomorrow

Guarantee me I will be back if we go 6-10 Crickets That is why tomorrow will be a big day with a loss Rex will either definitely be back or fired tomorrow Really going out on a limb there, eh? If the Bills lose and Rex still insists on starting TT, I think there's a good chance he'll get fired.
BringBackOrton Posted December 11, 2016 Posted December 11, 2016 Marrone and Rex. Fine examples. 2/2. Let's see if he goes for the 3peat.
26CornerBlitz Posted December 11, 2016 Posted December 11, 2016 2/2. Let's see if he goes for the 3peat. Marrone had issues with quite a few at OBD. Not a surprise given his wonderful demeanor.
TheFunPolice Posted December 11, 2016 Posted December 11, 2016 (edited) I see an 8-8 team that with a QB could be 11-5 Am I the only one who thinks if they get Romo and develop Jones another year or two they could make the playoffs and have a possible long term answer at QB who won't be ruined by being rushed out there too early? Guts are wide open every week and the QB cannot see them. To me that means find a QB who can, not fire everyone. The team has won as much as they have lost. The Bills basically play 2016 NFL football without a passing offense and they are 6-6. That tells me they are close. Edited December 11, 2016 by TheFunPolice
Doc Posted December 11, 2016 Posted December 11, 2016 Marrone had issues with quite a few at OBD. Not a surprise given his wonderful demeanor. I wonder if he'll even get a HC'ing gig again at the college level after he's fired in a month's time?
GunnerBill Posted December 11, 2016 Posted December 11, 2016 Bucky Gleason @ByBuckyGleason 2m2 minutes ago Whaley likely to remain Bills general manager. If this is true... let HIM pick the coach.
BringBackOrton Posted December 11, 2016 Posted December 11, 2016 Marrone had issues with quite a few at OBD. Not a surprise given his wonderful demeanor. How did Whaley go from Rex and him "finishing each other's sentences" to "untenable for the future?" It's a trend and something to watch going forward.
26CornerBlitz Posted December 11, 2016 Posted December 11, 2016 How did Whaley go from Rex and him "finishing each other's sentences" to "untenable for the future?" It's a trend and something to watch going forward. That's if these reports are to be believed. I'd pump the brakes on that given the source. I wonder if he'll even get a HC'ing gig again at the college level after he's fired in a month's time? I wonder the same thing even though he gets hyped every offseason.
TheFunPolice Posted December 11, 2016 Posted December 11, 2016 Whaley seems to have issues working with coaches. That's not the worst thing in the world, though. There should be some checks. I don't get where the issue would be with Rex. Whaley has seemingly gone out and signed everyone Rex wanted.
BringBackOrton Posted December 11, 2016 Posted December 11, 2016 That's if these reports are to be believed. I'd pump the brakes on that given the source. Where there's smoke...

I don't get where the issue would be with Rex. Whaley has seemingly gone out and signed everyone Rex wanted. Issue could be that while Whaley has gotten the talent, the Ryan twins convoluted defensive scheming is pissing that talent away.
Nihilarian Posted December 11, 2016 Posted December 11, 2016 CBS: Rex could be fired, TT benched Monday with loss He did say with a big lopsided loss. Perhaps the Bills FO wants to give Lynn a shot at HC and see what Cardale or EJ can do. I can see getting rid of Ryan & Co because his defense stinks. I think it's kinda lame to judge Tyrod against the Raiders with no Clay, no Woods 2x and Sammy still hurting.
TheFunPolice Posted December 11, 2016 Posted December 11, 2016 (edited) I am in favor of keeping everyone in place and getting a real QB whatever it takes My dream scenario is add Romo to this squad, pick up or draft another WR, and develop Jones as the #2 That depends on Romo being able to stay healthy though Edited December 11, 2016 by TheFunPolice
BringBackOrton Posted December 11, 2016 Posted December 11, 2016 (edited) Good point here. It's feasible that Whaley is frustrated that a unit that is Rex's responsibility, with everything Rex wanted/needed, with much of their offseason resources dedicated to it, is still crappy. I mean, if Rex said, get me LorAx, ZB, Ragland, Wahsington, and Lawson and our unit will be great, and screwed it all up which potentially jeopardized your job, I'd be pissed.
