oldmanfan Posted March 8, 2017 Posted March 8, 2017 I would prefer to see Whaley be more assertive in his job, but it isn't the way he works from what I can tell. He partners with his HC to get things done that his HC wants. And having the GM and HC in synch isn't baddie long as you're not changing coaches every couple years, which has been our biggest problem. KeepMcDermott for an extended time period so the two together can establish a philosophy and then get players to match.
mead107 Posted March 8, 2017 Posted March 8, 2017 Newbie trying hard to stir the pot. Post it and sign off. Talking crap .. has no knowledge of how things are done and looking for shock effects. You will be gone soon
Do The Reich Thing Posted March 8, 2017 Posted March 8, 2017 They're keeping the Bills in Buffalo. Without them they leave. See your way out.
Heitz Posted March 8, 2017 Posted March 8, 2017 Op = Bon Jovi or trump We can rule out Trump - if it were him, the post would be less than 140 characters and would end in "Sad!"
Mike in Horseheads Posted March 8, 2017 Posted March 8, 2017 Another reason why there should be 100 posts before creating threads.
BobbyC81 Posted March 8, 2017 Posted March 8, 2017 We can rule out Trump - if it were him, the post would be less than 140 characters and would end in "Sad!" Maybe Trump would've been a good competitor to the Pats on bending the rules.
TPS Posted March 8, 2017 Posted March 8, 2017 (edited) I disagree... Think they are doing a good job. Rex was a mistake. Hiring Rex set this team back at least 3 years. Edited March 8, 2017 by TPS
CanadianFan Posted March 8, 2017 Posted March 8, 2017 (edited) Well, here goes another rant thread. Enjoy it. Honestly, if Bon Jovi group won, I think I'd know what Toronto is going to do with two huge parklands that are being held up for development in this real-estate crazed town. I honestly do NOT mind it at all folks. One site is downtown right on the lake. The other is uptown with TWO huge subway stations next to it and main highway access. Both would be gorgeous sites for NFL stadium. Go ahead, scream them out of town. Edited March 8, 2017 by CanadianFan

Beast Posted March 8, 2017 Posted March 8, 2017 I wish BB.com didn't shut down the message board. Because you have so much more football knowledge than those of us that came over?
fridge Posted March 8, 2017 Posted March 8, 2017 This thread is going to be crazy, but I'll throw in my two cents: When they kept Russ Brandon/Berchtold, I hated it, but understood why you would want to see how the operation runs and evaluate it. When they hired Rex Ryan, I hated it and as the story of how it went down surfaced, I started to question their ownership. When they promoted Russ Brandon to basically run PS&E and all their sports teams, they lost me. I think they mean well and prefer that to a cheap owner, but I think they've made massive organizational mistakes, the likes of which only have served to extend our drought and constant dysfunctional tendencies. They do seem to be learning and adapting, which I admire. I also give them respect for cutting loose with Rex and eating that contract. It takes a man to admit when they're wrong, and though it set us back, I am grateful we're not wondering how Rex will find ways to lose next season.
Malazan Posted March 8, 2017 Posted March 8, 2017 the worst thing that's happened under the Pegula's was shutting down the official message board. I had no idea how bad it could get...
Hapless Bills Fan Posted March 8, 2017 Posted March 8, 2017 They are good people but they seem pretty bad at running a football team. First of all they keep Doug Whaley as GM (which a lot of people thought he should have been gone) Ok fine... Then it's reported that Whaley wants a new QB, and Mcdermott wants to keep Taylor... AND ownership ends up siding with the coach over the GM? How do you keep a GM and then not even listen to him? This is just baffling... winning teams don't operate like this. Of course, it all depends upon how much of the above is actually true, not? What if Whaley was OK with keeping Tyrod on a restructured contract and that's just what happened? What if the folks who wanted to move on were FO bean counters, and they have been placated with the restructure? What if *gasp* the coach and GM actually did have different viewpoints, but they sat down together and <shhhh> worked things out <endshhhh>
H2o Posted March 8, 2017 Posted March 8, 2017 The Pegs kept the team in Buffalo. That "trumps" anything that has happened afterward. They want to win, all owners do. The more you win the more money you make. They allowed themselves to be duped by Rex Ryan. Now the cleansing has taken place. I fully expect McDermott to turn this thing around.
Augie Posted March 8, 2017 Posted March 8, 2017 The Bills remain in Buffalo. Rex was a mistake. Rex is gone. I'll judge Whaley after he's had time to work with what seems to be "his" coach. Winning isn't easy and we are middle of the pack there with a horrible HC. In my mind, it's way too early to judge them. Oh, and the Bills remain in Buffalo.
Beast Posted March 8, 2017 Posted March 8, 2017 I know it's a different sport but I remember Mike Babcock, when he was introduced as the Leafs coach, and took the time out to thank the Pegula's for considering him and said the Pegula's will be rock stars as far as owners go. I'm sure it's no different at all with opinions around the NFL. I do believe Kraft and Jones have had very favorable things to say about the Pegula's. They have yet to have success on the ice or gridiron, but that is coming.....they are building solid foundations with both teams.
JM2009 Posted March 8, 2017 Posted March 8, 2017 Bad thread. Just an opportunity for the OP to degrade TT. Whaley is a bad GM and yet you want him to make the QB decision because you dislike TT.

Let's not look at the WHOLE universe of possibilities if some don't suit us!
