The article talks about how Rex Ryan has already won over Buffalo (which is true), with a few sideways compliments.

It's a lot to ask out of town reporters to fully understand Buffalo and the Bills. This gal comes close but, sorry, while Rex is one reason for the ticket surge, a lot is the bodacious free agency period we just had, and most of all it's Terry & Kim ensuring the Bills are staying.

 

This article strikes me as something she had written in her head before she ever spoke to Rex.

I don't read that as a feel-good story; maybe I'm just blind? I read it as a fluff piece about Rex Ryan's undeniable charisma. The part that got me was at the end "he’s a smart coach that comes from a family of smart coaches and can turn around defenses." - shows ignorance of the fact that the Bills had a top-5 D last year and all Ryan has to do is not screw it up.

 

I hope Ryan reads it and it ticks him off and lays a mega-chip on his shoulder. I don't think Rex wants his legacy to be "But regardless of what happens on the field, he’s already done what he always does best: He won the offseason."

hey, until Rex produces when it counts, the story isn't un-true. I do think the Bills are in different football than the Jets he took over, but it only matters what happens on the field and I think he, and the rest of the organization, are going to make the fan base VERY happy when it matters.
