But maybe this just shows that EJ is really good at Defense and Tyrod is really bad at Defense? I mean the QB has to put up AND defend against points, right?

Great article (there's also another thread about it: http://forums.twobillsdrive.com/topic/183945-article-where-did-rex-go-wrong-in-his-first-season-in-bflo/) Amazing, it seems to be saying it wasn't ALL on Rex, or ALL on the players (and definitely not on Tyrod), but missteps on both sides. I don't see Rex going anywhere, so let's hope that he takes some of Chris' advice...

I know they all have to be on the same page, but hearing Mario complain about players coming on and off the field makes me shake my head a little - most of the time, he's in the game, lined up at DE. Just do your job Mario, which is to at least make a tackle... I had posted this in another thread, but Eric Wood on Rex's scheme, fwiw: http://www.syracuse.com/buffalo-bills/index.ssf/2015/12/eric_wood_defends_rex_ryans_defensive_scheme_against_mario_williams_comments.html

I'm not in the dance squad am I? Cause I left my pom-poms back in Vermont... And the second point is very, very true. Getting closer to committing, might just me and my girl, but looking forward to seeing the crew! Drop the Hammer, Hammer!!

BuffaloBills.com does have a splash page for NFL Ticket Exchange calling the game a "Hot Matchup"! Not that they explain why there are so many tickets on the secondary market if this matchup is so hot. Maybe they meant "hot" like a burn barrel or tire fire...

For those in the "Rex can't coach" camp, a few comments from Eric Wood: http://www.syracuse.com/buffalo-bills/index.ssf/2015/12/eric_wood_defends_rex_ryans_defensive_scheme_against_mario_williams_comments.html Can I start the Hard Knocks in 2016 train?

Obviously banking on that big extension

Working on getting there, just need to rally the troops! Will let The Hammer know if I'm in...

Shady yelling / playing with Redskins fans - oh boy...

Even worse, TBD may start looking at each other suspiciously(er).

I call marketing! Sal just said on WGR that everything he has been hearing is that Whaley WILL be back next year as GM. He also implies that Russ would have a say in the decision and he's a big Whaley supporter. Just like everything, should be interesting to see how it all plays out... Sal and, other guy, also seemed confuse by the Roman criticism vs focus on the D.

Strange - the showdown is over how the OFFENSE has played? o_O I mean, I want to see Sammy featured too, but chalk some some of that up to a first year QB. But the D, that's been the letdown...

OP the thread title is kinda cryptic... While I somewhat agree with the "make the system fit the player", part of me also asks, how long should Rex have to wait to put in the D system he wants? Because the players we have can't get it, he should change what he does? Interesting debate... I say put in your system and play it out, see who can perform and who cant. The real test is if Rex / Doug get rid of guys that aren't getting the job done and bring in some guys that can. Wasted season, or year one of building something bigger? The pisser is we have to wait a while to see Since this is a Brown thread, I should also add, PLEASE bring in some LBs that are beasts!!! Love to watch those guys crush people, and I'm not seeing a ton of that this year...

@Yolo - Drink!

Pettine is a JERK - Ralph Wilson not top tier!? Well, I've never heard such crap in my life...

lol

It's a no brainer - Hammer.

Its, like, so much easier to just read the headline. I can't believe that Dareus hates Rex so much!!

Ah, it'll devolve eventually... But guys like Mark80 are keeping up with the great points!

Wow - best thread of the day (maybe the year), lotta good thinking going on here...

Also this.

Tough day for Incognito - penalties and just blown up. Two false starts on FB? Really? And 1,000 neutral zone infractions. Tyrod had a tough day, but this one isn't in him. Can't give up almost 400 yards to freaking Philly... Very frustrating day.

Tyrod is the reason we're down?

Wtf was that? Why did the clock not continue to run?

You had me at big butt - let's make whatever it is we're talking about, happen...
