Seriously, those (frank)ers fed him to the wolves. WTF did those short sighted morons think was going to be the main topic to be discussed? If this was supposed to be typical Wednesday Coach presser to talk about the Jets game then the morons making the god damn decision on sitting Tyrod should've manned up and had a presser before hand to clear the air. Instead they leave it to the interim coach to cover up the reasoning for them. Kudos to Lynn. He handled himself well. Maybe it was a test. I didn't have a problem with Whaley before this, but this wasn't cool. Something is rotten in the State of Denmark.

maybe they should have trotted out Brandon...

as for taylor, I believe it's already been reported that it was a business decision...if he plays and is injured the bills are on the hook for his cap-hit next season...there's really not much more to say

That all depends. Seth Jones was stuck as a #4 in Nashville. Since he's been given top 2 minutes he's been great. He's a better 5 on 5 player than Ristolainen. Risto is the far superior PP player.
- sbroads24

He's still behind Werenski, a rookie. He was hyped to go top 2 in that draft, hence why I made the Reinhart comparison.

Doesn't seem like Ryan Murray's producing at the rate he was expected to either. But Columbus is rolling so they all must be doing something right.

I think he did Jackson a solid. The guy was clearly spent as he did nothing else the rest of the year.

That said... can't argue with the rest of it.

- Slump Buster



I believe releasing Jackson was the right move, however how he went about it was wrong

Whaley needs to go, this is his doing IMO, he is the one that went rouge and released Fred Jackson, he is the one that is "leaking" info.

Buffalo sports...

- Stripes77

Best QB since Kelly and we'll lose him because of the way they're handling this. Teams will be lining up for Tyrod this off season.

Which means another new QB, another new HC, another new OC, another season without the playoffs...

I dreamt last night Mouslon was traded. As I back read, I am just realizing now that it didn't happen.

Remember when analytics people said Risto was actually slowing Gorges down?

- Hatboro_Swords



Taylor will have a bunch of teams lining up for him...

Minnesota if Bridgewater is done
Chicago
Denver
New York Jets
San Fran
Washington if they don't franchise Cousins

All of those teams Buffalo will have to compete with to find a QB. I don't have faith in Whaley finding the right one.

Taylor has his faults no doubt, but the Bills could win with him.

I know. But this is the first time where the advanced stats support what we've been saying.

He's been a beast this year. I feel like at times last year he played on the timid side of things. This year he's just going out and killing it every night.

He seems to be a man on a mission.

who is going to take the job where

your gm doesn't value your input
the front office tells you who to play as qb
a chunk of your team fails drug tests
dildos get thrown on the field
$6 tickets on stub hub
a really good chance your gone in 2 years, when you have no chance to compete with the pats for the division for the next few years

this is where I have big issues with the gm


he drafted ej, and jones

taylor is a running qb as well


unless your going to throw that out the window and switch to pocket passers, there is no reason not to extend taylor



if whaley is no longer the gm, scrap it, start over

my hope is that if lynn is is the head coach that he'll be surrounded by a veteran coaching staff, the best money can by (which might be tough considering rex is pocketing $15 million or so for not being on the sidelines)...

then I hope they strengthen other area, namely the defensive backfield and offensive line...

that's about all the can do...the alternative would've been to keep rexy

How did the GM not value his input? Lawson and Ragland scream Rex Ryan choices.

Rex wanted Taylor here.

$6 dollar tickets on Christmas eve for a team not making the playoffs really isnt a big deal.

agreed on the 2 years and out
