TC in St. Louis Posted June 15, 2017 Posted June 15, 2017 If we improve over last year it may be due to Rex's loading up the team with his ex-Jets and homeboys. I just did a quick eyeball of the rosters, and there are so many changes it's unbelievable. I hope that the new regime is legit and knows better how to judge talent. I know some of the losses are good players, like Gilmore and Gilislee, but how will we live without Leger Douzable and Idehego (sp)? What about that guy who punched Geno Smith? He's gone too! Will miss him. I see a future in which there are 11 players on the field on every play. I see coaches making challenges based upon real observations and upstairs paying attention. I don't see Marcel Dareus dropping back into coverage. I see Reggie Ragland knocking Gilislee onto his backside. I see Lawson blindsiding Brady and Brady considering retiring in the middle of a game. I see a healthy Sammy Watkins getting 1400 yards and 15 touchdowns. But then again, I just dropped a handful of shrooms.
K D Posted June 15, 2017 Posted June 15, 2017 you change coaches and schemes and you have to get players to fit those schemes. when you change coaches every 2 years it's hard to get the right players. something the Bills obviously don't understand.
hondo in seattle Posted June 15, 2017 Posted June 15, 2017 (edited) Of the 68 players who saw the field on at least one game last year, only 32 remain. And that number may get smaller by opening day against the Jets. I don't know what the league average is, but I think TC is right: turnover is staggering. Edited June 15, 2017 by hondo in seattle
Over 29 years of fanhood Posted June 15, 2017 Posted June 15, 2017 It's a revolving door for sure. I can't even decide which jersey I'd buy... Obvi Stevie and Knee J were poor choices. I'm now thinking maybe a pegula jersey with 1.4?
BuffaloHokie13 Posted June 15, 2017 Posted June 15, 2017 Well we had a roster of 53. 23 UFAs, 5 RFAs, plus cuts like AW and Graham makes up a pretty high %.
hondo in seattle Posted June 15, 2017 Posted June 15, 2017 I wonder if the high turnover matters a little less because we've also turned over the coaching staff. More-or-less all these players are new to the coaches and their new schemes - whether they donned a Bills uni last year or not.
Rocky Landing Posted June 15, 2017 Posted June 15, 2017 Starting offense is almost the same, though. At least, so far.

I feel like we changed coaches to fit the players we actually have That is of course...my opinion
DCbillsfan Posted June 15, 2017 Posted June 15, 2017 Large number no doubt. I wonder how many of those players would be here if Ryan was still here?
SlimShady'sSpaceForce Posted June 15, 2017 Posted June 15, 2017 Look at the Pats and explain Turnover Differential again. It is all part of FA.

So what,you would have kept the Rex and Rob clown show?
Chuck Wagon Posted June 15, 2017 Posted June 15, 2017 Simply put, Rex was a disaster hire. With how good the defense was in 2014, it was lunacy to hire a coach who wanted to change that scheme. We should have hired an offensive coach (Hue Jackson would have been ideal) and made Schwartz the highest paid DC in the league.
Direhard Fan Posted June 15, 2017 Posted June 15, 2017 Who got Rex's truck?? High turnover for the ford also. Two owners in two years. Never did like fords.
Over 29 years of fanhood Posted June 15, 2017 Posted June 15, 2017 Starting offense is almost the same, though. At least, so far. Haven't you heard about the back up RB crisis?

Jamie Nails Posted June 15, 2017 Posted June 15, 2017 It's a revolving door for sure. I can't even decide which jersey I'd buy... Obvi Stevie and Knee J were poor choices. I'm now thinking maybe a pegula jersey with 1.4? I won a bet with a friend last year and he owes me a jersey. I have so many former players in my closet its not funny. I even have Hughes, Dareus and Tyrod in terms of current. I am thinking of going with a drought related jersey, but it's proving a bit tricky. Any good suggestions for name plate and number combos? Thinking Drought #17, but it'll quickly become a duct tape jersey as we approach 20 years. Maybe NoPlayoffs 00? Thoughts?

The big mistake was hiring Rex which necessitated a scheme change. Mcdermott would have to be a catastrophe for them to make another quick change.

I'm now thinking maybe a pegula jersey with 1.4? That revolving door is why I stopped buying active player jerseys. My B. Smith #78 will never, ever go out of style. Unless he kills his ex wife and a waiter. But even then...
