    Warning Signs

    They've been everywhere.

    100M Player Publicly Quits on the Coach
    Drafting Lawson (his replacement), claiming he was ready to go (despite reports)... then sending him for surgery to likely miss one half of the season.
    Karlos showing up over weight
    Dareus no showing a drug test
    Dareus goes to rehab/nightclub
    Keeping Gronk - Cutting Felton and re-signing him a week later only to cut Gronk.
    Firing the OC in Week 2

    This team is massively unstable. We've been bad, we've had less talent, but we have never been this much of a disaster. The Rex regime has taken a 9-7 team and literally stripped it of any dignity. I don't possibly see how this can get better.
    I remember that one fateful day when Coach took me aside. I knew what was coming. "You don't have to tell me," I said. "I'm off the team, aren't I?"
    "Well," said Coach, "you never were really ON the team. You made that uniform you're wearing out of rags and towels, and your helmet is a toy space helmet.
    You show up at practice and then either steal the ball and make us chase you to get it back, or you try to tackle people at inappropriate times."
    It was all     true what he was saying. And yet, I thought something is brewing inside the head of this Coach.
    He sees something in me, some kind of raw talent that he can     mold. But that's when I felt the handcuffs go on.

      Re: Warning Signs

      The warning signs were last January when it was announced there would be no changes, and Russ was selling us on "consistency".

        2,3,and 4 Not a Bills issue.... individual issues.

        As far as the Gronk Felton thing... wasn't that to sign Felton for less?

          I warned you guys of this train wreck, it's going to get much much worse. Draft Day 2017 will be a good time.

            I disagree. The Bills came right out after the Shaq pick and said he's fine, good to go. After mini-camp they changed their tune. ESPN reported the shoulder the minute we selected him.
            Karlos and Dareus are personal things sure, but IMO this has just as much to do with respect.

              The biggest warning sign was 'Bills hire Wrecks Wryan as head coach' after the '14 season.

                I seriously don't know how this can get worse. Other than the physical destruction of the franchise itself
                I came.
                I saw.
                I conquered.

                  Sorry... you're all missing the boat.

                  the biggest warning sign was when Russ Brandon was being mentioned in the same breath as ownership.

                    You forgot that Rex hired his failed brother to come in and form Team Slappy.

                      Re: Warning Signs

                      There are more signs to come too...I think Sammy Watkins is going to sleepwalk through the rest of his contract and move on in 2018.

                      This team hasn't hit rock bottom yet. I really have no idea what can be done to right it. We have three quarterbacks and the best of them is a backup at best. The other two are worthless. At this point in the season, we are clearly the worst team in the league. Even Cleveland doesn't look this bad. Heck, I'd take Josh McCown over Taylor in a heartbeat and not even care that he's got a foot in the retirement home.

                      There is no chance in hell the Bills exercise their option on Taylor next year. He's history.
                      Lehner's history. He just doesn't know it yet.

                        If that wasn't a big enough warning sign, this definitely should of been one.

                          Why not bring in Tom Coughlin to whip this sad bunch into shape?

                            I think my pessimism hit a new low, which I didn't think was possible. I used to get angry. I think my coping mechanism is kinda quitting on them. I mentally threw in the towel.

                              Warning sign for me was to look at what Pegula did for the Sabres. While most were excited, I had major concerns.
