He won't be going 7-9 this year at least?

He might be helped by the fact the OC spent four quarters against the worst team in the NFL calling this sequence of four downs:

1st: Gurley rush into 8 fat blokes. 1 yard.
2nd: Gurley rush into 8 fat blokes. 2 yards.
3rd: Play action, 2 yard pass behind the line of scrimmage to Tavon Austin for not enough.
4th: Punt.

That said, if they waited one more year, a defensively minded, run first Head Coach with unlimited rentaquotism would be available...

What a shit end to his game.

''Marquise Goodwin - WR - Bills
Bills WR Marquise Goodwin is in the league's concussion protocol.
Goodwin banged his head on the turd on the last play of the game''

Bills fire Greg Roman.

Because it's definitely the offensive coordinator's fault we have half a roster.

Fire all the people you want, Rex. Winter is still coming.

Running back coach Anthony Lynn has been promoted.

[Tal]

ESPN:
Under Roman (since start of 2015), Bills’ off ranked higher in yards per play (8th in NFL) than Bills’ def (25th)

Football Outsiders:
2015 DVOA (efficiency rating): Offense 9th. Defense 24th.

And this is with half a running back, a free agent QB, no right side OL and one wide receiver.

My head hurts.

This could turn into a Tighty rant. I'm going to go for a lie down.

^ as a fan of a very frustrating franchise myself (owner who is a terrible GM, unimaginative coaching, iffy drafting) the Bills situation is equally as odd

Ryan's signature defence gives up 37 points and 500 yards to Fitzmagic. In the game Darby and Glmore are being torched (surprisingly) left single high deep against decker, marshall and enunwa and there is no sign of any change of approach through the game

they drafted injured players (known injured) in the first two rounds, gave a new contract to a player everyone knew was at risk of suspension too and hey presto he gets suspended

and the offense is the problem? don't think so, lacks a bit of talent but then they haven't invested in the offense much its a conservative defense led tea. or is meant to be.

the head coach and his brother are the issue.

We will be 0-4 before we start to get players back from suspension and then need to win in LA, at home against the Niners and a divisional game in Miami to be back on track.

In theory...

Watkins is playing with a foot injury. He could be stuck playing with it all season, by the sound of it, as Woods, Salas and Goodwin probably won't scare too many defenses.

Look again at that list of fixtures. Don't win those three games and we are in with the Browns and Niners for the first overall pick.

Comes back to the point that we'll get a decent draft pick next year, but the draft is full of defensive players when ours will be back recovered from their 2016 injuries. Maybe we pick up a WR but there won't be many there (Mike Williams?) and the team will be better.

Owners had to decide whether the back Rex or sack him. Clearly that has implications when he's got other staff here...

Rex and Roman rumoured not to be the best of friends, although that could just be beat writer talk.

It's a mess.

[Tal]

Last one. Probably.
