Overall he has done a good job, but the parts where he failed have killed this team.

- Watkins trade
- Not having more qb options

- Slump Buster


Going back the Watkins trade he would want a do over.

The not having more QB options isn't really his fault. Buddy Nix drafted EJ...he wasn't the right pick.

In 2013 instead of taking EJ take Dandre Hopkins and in 2014 take Carr

The EJ pick killed them

Our O line may be bottom 5 for pass protection


not defending taylor here, but would like to see him with 2 more decent wr's and 2 more o linemen

There are some games that you need your QB need to dig you out of a hole and our QB can't do that

I believe he only has 1 comeback win in the 4th quarter

I've said it before

right now taylor is not the problem, just not sure he is the solution

as long as they have ej and jones as back ups, that can run as well, I would like to see them fix the o line and get 2 more wr's for next year to go with watkins

The point of this is Ryan would be fired

And Doug has basically dug his own grave I mean he could have Mack, Derek carr right now

But instead we have Sammy Watkins that we wasted our future for when we didn't have a quarterback installed

- GERBE!!!75PTS



Oakland would still have Carr...taken in the 2nd round 7 picks before Buffalo picked

that works

I prefer Kenny Britt and Kamar Aiken but that is me

they need size, for sure

Either way I agree with you.

Taylor is not the problem at this point.

I don't think we really know what he is yet. Could be the answer or could be just another QB the Bills had before they found the guy

He has said all along that he was on board with the EJ pick. Also, he has been GM of the team since Nix left. It is what it his - he is overseeing a team that has mediocre QB play.

It was also said Buddy wasn't stepping down until he drafted a QB...

On a semi-related note, this is why the "we gotta make the playoffs because the drought is far too long" is soooooo misguided. We are nowhere near being a championship team - isn't that what we want? I couldn't care less if we sneak in this year with this mediocre team and organization. This team is not unlike the Sabres teams from 5 years ago.

That's a good analogy.

The only thing I can say in the NFL any team can win one week...

In the NHL its hard to fake your way through a 7 game series

I am very curious what this team looks like with a healthy Watkins and McCoy with this new OC
