Sounds like anything but solid coaching to me. "Well, I tried my deal and it wasn't working so I tried another coaches' approach and that didn't work so...". We had our best chance in 30 yrs to make the playoffs and he screwed it up. We are not going this year either,now 31 yrs and counting. Superior in one? OK the dline accounted for a lot of sacks, curious though, who had all those int's for us. The dline!? Weren't we top 5 in int's?

Oh oh.

Anything can be explained away, I guess.

He didn't. Just like Mario said he would take a pay cut. Just PR stuff. He's glad to be gone. Jmo

Huh,either you stopped counting after 1 or you can't count past 1 cuz Brown doesn't fit apparently. I'm curious to see how Dareus and Kyle are going to do. Even you know Kyle doesn't fit this scheme,one bit. And he is going to waste Dareus' talents.Seems like you have a thing for Rex, cool, hope he turns it around but stop pretending Rex didn't screw the pooch last season.

And he's just as happy to be gone. Yes I am a Bills fan.

None from the Bills. I think Mario led us in sacks without trying, but yea he sucks.

All he said was "We blame Rex for the bad coaching job he did last season". Sure, we had injuries. So did every team, even the playoff teams. And if you think Mario alone caused our d to suck, wow! Having said all of that, Rex did have a really bad year coaching us last season. Hopefully you can see that. Too many excuses for such a genius to need.

I wouldn't blame reading comprehension, just a difference of opinion. IMO Rex should get the bulk of the criticism.

And Dareus,Hughes,Bradham,Brown, etc. Leave the wipping boy alone already. He's gone,but the real problem(Rex) is still here.

Teams adjusted to our defense when Schwartz was dc. He just did a better job of combating those adjustments. A brilliant defensive mind like Rex surely knew teams would adjust to his defense, right?! "But, they were throwing too fast. What were we supposed to do? They wouldn't play fair." Not trying to be rude, but this is the lamest excuse for a Brilliant mind like Rex. Don't you think? JMO but with Schwartz still here and the improved offense, we make the playoffs.

Don't forget the late substitutions on d.

Good point.

So what's the excuse for the rest of the defense? Mario was clear and made sense when he said if it was just his play, fine. But this was across the board. The whole defense regressed and the reason was plain as day. Rex put our whole defense in a bad position, literally and figuratively. Mario is gone,leave him be.

Stop making sense around here. Mario is this year's whipping boy and a way to deflect how bad of a job Rexy did.

Rex crapped on the team. Mario quit but still led us in sacks, I believe. Rex misused a hell of a defense and he's not changing,why should Mario? Again, he was a gonner anyway,so he made a stand. Even Jim Kelly tweeted we are paying him a ton of cash to hit the qb,not play in coverage. Mario doesn't want to play for this clown. "I forgot how to coach"," fully pregnant "?! WTF! Well played, Mario.

After thinking about this for a while, I say "well played, Mario". He doesn't want to be here and it's simply cuz of Rex. He played his way out if this mess and can go where ever he wants. Well played. He knew he was a gonner at the end of the season anyway. I'm pretty sure at least 1 or 2 defenders on the bills would love to be on that position. I think he makes the pro bowl next yr.

I was thinking the same thing.

+1

I don't like the move either. He's solid depth at 2 positions, maybe 3(both guard positions and center).

Wow!

Lack of talent in a particular unit? You mean the players that excelled the year before? This d was toast even with Kyle, and it was the same group as the previous year. Look, I hope he turns this d around, but these bs excuses for rex are amazing. Kyle wasn't gonna help the calls come in on time or get the right sub's in on time. THE COACHING WAS HORRIBLE. Just watching this past season, anyone could see this team was poorly coached. Didn't the giants coach say we will beat ourselves because of Rex?

Who cares?

It's a whole lot different in Pats land. There is a real coach instead of a clown. Pretty sure Mario would do his job, cuz Belicheck would put him in a position to succeed. JMO. This anonymous player isn't any better of a teammate than Mario. Mario will let you quote him instead of some "insurgent" p#ssy hiding behind the title of "anonymous teammate".

We should ask that question of Rex too.
