After 28 years, i am giving up. I do not want to raise my son rooting for a loser and set him up for failure. I will be giving up my Bills fan status and will be looking to move on to a new team next year. I cannot take it anymore.

Don't do it. One day the ship's coming in and if you bail now, you're not allowed to come back.

Taylor is gone best news ever
- GERBE!!!75PTS

How'd you draw this hair brained conclusion? Because EJ is starting on Sunday? They can renegotiate Taylor's contract. I like Tyrod and hope he is back next year.

I can live with a significantly different contract for Tyrod Taylor, so long as they draft someone that you can say with a straight face that he can be a starter in the National Football League. Cardale Jones does not fit that description.

Why not play Jones?

If Whaley thinks EJ can still be the guy this franchise is (frank)ed

I don't understand why everyone thinks Taylor's contract is bad. If he is on the roster for next year he is the 21st highest paid QB. He is also guaranteed money for the season after. It's not awful.

To be fair, If Tony Romo doesn't get hurt, the same is probably said by Cowboy's fans.

the rooney rule doesnt apply to qbs. also, we have a running offensive line, not a pocket protecting line. thats gonna take some time to fix too. but i agree 100% if we ever plan to be taken seriously we need a pocket passer.

They want to lose, better draft position. Cardale isn't ready. Why ruin him in a throw away game?

The circus in Buffalo just keeps coming back, if the Bills don't look like fools the Sabres do. The Bills will look even more foolish if they keep Lynn as head coach. A lot of talented OC around the league as well as DC to look at.

He's not even close to an NFL starting QB now or in the future.

- Stripes77

It's not bad for next year, $27.5 MM that he will be due isn't any of our money and don't believe it correlates into that big of a cap hit. The problem is the year after if we find out he truly isn't the answer. I thought there was an out for 2018, but everything I have read suggests otherwise. Seems I'm the only one saying it, but I don't know that Tyrod isn't the answer and want a year with a competent coach who is capable in play calling efficiency so Tyrod can take a few seconds to look the defense over. People want to female dog and moan about him not being able to make audibles, but good god man, by the time they line up, there isn't enough time left on the play clock to check out of a play even if they wanted to.

I don't know for certain that Rex refused to make changes to how plays are signaled in, but he didn't do anything to improve it. Couple that with failing to improve the defense, his specialty (yeah right,) and he shouldn't be surprised he is packing his bags. Maybe he should've brought in a few more coaches to add a few more layers of complication in the evolving faster paced NFL. Adios Rex.

Good Article, no bashing of our City or the Pegulas, just the Facts Mame, Just the facts.

Tyrod just isn't good enough. He isn't horrible, but in most games that mattered, he did little to prove he's the guy

If a throwaway game "ruins" him, he doesn't have what it takes to make it in this league in the first place.
