I don't doubt that was the plan--with or without Rex.
I expect the Pegulas to go "shock and awe" as their first act(s) as owners. Might not win them many friends among their 31 other 'partners' but I get the sense they're going to spend/trade for a name QB somehow, someway (probably Cutler, possibly Bradford)...

This guy (never heard of him or his awards) comes off as a major league douche playing to the NYC 'drunks on the barstool' croud...
Great game. Would have loved to have had a 'Jerry Jones shot' at the end.
But I can see some big changes to the reply rule (and reffing in general) next season...
Yeah, that's about how I see it.
Especially worried about the undisciplined part. If a team reflects it's HC's personality, you can expect a lot of emotion but but also plenty of WTF...
I'll live with the hire because I'm a Bills fan first.
But all of these comments seem to reflect "Rex Ryan, the Personality" rather than "Rex Ryan, the HC." Personally, on game day, I'd rather have a 'Hoodie-type' than a 'Guy in the Hood'...
Loving your coach is nice, but not essential, IMO. Being focused, methodical and in control...now there are characteristics I'd like players to get from the HC...
