It's a video highlight video for the game against the Jets. Notoce how the highlights are from the first game. But yea besides that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hapless Bills Fan Posted January 1, 2017 Author Share Posted January 1, 2017 Ahhhhh....huh? Anyway, is it possible a decision has been made but won't be executed until weeks later? Also, if the report is wrong and no decision has been made, what would happen "months" from now that would cause the Bills to then dump TT? Yes, it's possible a decision has been made to move on from TT It's also possible that a decision has been made "we want to keep our option open, try to reno his contract and also now Rex is gone, let the next coach have input" In that scenario, what would happen "months" from now (ie, March) that would cause the Bills to then dump TT is something like 1) they hire a new coach who feels he needs a better passer and is willing to sacrifice what TT brings to the run game (eg Foles, Bradford) AND they actually see a path to get their hands on one. Therefore letting TT go in March (after his physical) does not prove LaCanfora is "right" that a decision was already made in December. It is potentially compatible with both scenarios. Similar thing with Rex. Firing Rex before the last game does not prove it was correct there was a "playoffs, or out" ultimatum. It is possible (though on the testimony of many that's not how Pegula works, it seems unlikely) It is also possible that there was no ultimatum, but Rex cooked his own goose this season, due to poor coaching and game management decisions this fall. I think it's perfectly plausible that if we'd seen a hard-playing, maximum effort team and no stupid challenge decisions or 12 man/10 man on field situations, Rex would have been given a 3rd year, what with all the injuries and such. Firing Rex is compatible with both scenarios. In any case, the point isn't whether LaCanfora's tweet is right or wrong; the point is media using his tweet as a sole source without any research or additional sources, because tweeting is "personal" and not held to the same standards as journalism is supposed to be. Such practices make it more difficult for legit journalists (Ty Dunne, John Wawrow) who are actually obliged to have sources and vet them, to do their job. And then there's this: http://deadspin.com/hmm-why-is-tyrod-taylor-missing-from-the-bills-season-1790656072 Someone pointed out elsewhere that it's not a "season highlight video" it's a "pump up for Sunday" video, in which it would be strange to highlight a guy who ain't playing. If it is, in fact, intended as a season highlight video then it's weird and dumb 'cuz even if the Bills do want to move on, Taylor was a huge part of this season so why pretend he wasn't Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
