Prickly Pete Posted October 26, 2015 Posted October 26, 2015 (edited) Its a game of emotion. It helps. Just ask the Patriot players who were hearing how much the Buffalo players hate them all week. so they could come out and shut them up and make them look bad. The offensive line of the jags did look like they played better, and particularly on that last TD drive for the win. You don't think St Doug is laughing at Ryan now? I'd rather Rex Ryan keep his mouth shut and stop motivating opposing teams because its not working... except to give the opponent even more reason to beat the Bills. Like Marv Levy used to say. "Your play on the field should speak so loudly that no one will hear what you say" I'm not convinced. I am convinced that they were motivated by playing on an international stage, and having been kicked around all season. I'm also convinced that Marrone's knowledge about the Bills roster played a way bigger role than any "do it for Doug" inspiration. I'm also convinced that the 21 points that EJM provided, gave them a massive dose of inspiration. And if they lost, would anyone say, "they just didn't get enough inspiration from Marrone's presence"? And I don't need any more Marv Levy quotes. Edited October 26, 2015 by HoF Watkins
Best Player Available Posted October 26, 2015 Posted October 26, 2015 rex is a clown, a mental midget, and a freak show, all rolled into one. That is not sportsmanship. it proves nothing, especially when you lose.

The simple truth is that anytime a teams head coach opens his mouth by saying stupid things or doing stupid things to help motivate the opposing team it hurts his team, and helps the opponent get fired up. Ever hear the phrase "win for the gipper? In every aspect of society people do better when given a strong motivational reason. Anyway, Its not my job to convince you of anything. If you don't get it, that's OK with me.
PearlHowardman Posted October 26, 2015 Posted October 26, 2015 Just one more example of Rex Ryan being completely foolish. I have no doubt that the Pegulas are completely embarrassed at having Rex Ryan as the Head Coach of the Buffalo Bills. He's always doing this childish garbage.
CodeMonkey Posted October 26, 2015 Posted October 26, 2015 Ryan sure showed him and the entire Jags organization. I mean he makes that brilliant grandstand play then the team goes out and ... oh wait ... nevermind.

If you don't get it, that's OK with me. If it's a "truth" then you should be able to prove it....but you can't. I don't like Rex's antics, at all. But not because of the other team's reactions, but because it effects his own team's focus, and attitude. I think the Jags had plenty of other things to motivate them, and that Marrone has probably never even spoken to most of the guys on their defense. Half the games each week involve a player or coach that played/worked for, or was cut/fired by one of the teams. Or the other team beat them badly previously, or any number of circumstances like that. If anybody should have been inspired by Marrone's presence, it should have been the Bills. But of course, they only would have said it if they won. Rex hurts his own team by making claims in the player's names. He tries to set the standards for the team with public proclamations. That is the problem with his antics. Edited October 26, 2015 by HoF Watkins
metzelaars_lives Posted October 26, 2015 Posted October 26, 2015 (edited) Yep, I read that and perhaps Marrone relayed that to his Jag players. It might just be why that Jaguar team played more like a 5-1 team then a 1-5 team. But hey, what does Rex care. What? That was one of the worst teams I can remember the Bills playing in some time. If they weren't gifted 2 1/2 TD's, we would have blown them out. They did everything they possibly could to hand us that game in the second half. Edited October 26, 2015 by metzelaars_lives

Anyone who thinks either team played like a good team is insane.

It might just be why that Jaguar team played more like a 5-1 team then a 1-5 team. But hey, what does Rex care. Don't care in the least. I find it amusing, but it had zero impact on the game. At least the guy isn't a corpse. As for the Jags, did they really play like a 5-1 team? Their QB was garbage, as was their O in general except for Yeldon. The Jags were so inspired they couldn't punch it in on a goal line situation. Marrone really had those boys churned up. The Bills lost because their backup QB puked on his shoes and gave the Jags 14 points, and a short field for a TD after another INT. Bortles was bad, EJM was even worse. That was the story of that game, not some inspired performance from the Jags O.
Miyagi-Do Karate Posted October 26, 2015 Posted October 26, 2015 What's the big deal with this? I thought Rex has always done this-- pick captains with an axe to grind (eg, guys playing their former team). I think it is a great motivational tool. And, frankly the bills oline played very well for having two guys missing.
Prickly Pete Posted October 26, 2015 Posted October 26, 2015 Seriously. How about some new maxims to hang our hats on? I mean, EVERY coach has those. And I'm done living in this team's past.
JohnC Posted October 26, 2015 Posted October 26, 2015 (edited) Anyone else growing tired of Ryan's bush league antics? He is not the answer at HC. I don't care how many vehicles he tricks out in Bills colors or how many tattoos he alters to show his loyalty. His teams lack fire and discipline as does he. GO BILS!!! The Jets are a better team without him and we are less of a team with him. His act is so tiresome and unsophisticated. When your head coach lacks maturity and discipline it is not surprising that he sets the tone that flows down to the players. One of my favorite head coaches in the NFL is Bruce Ariens of the Cardinals. He doesn't have much of a public persona but he is a football man of substance. He knows how to build a roster and to get the best out of his players. The HCing change with him in place has made a noticeable positive difference. Rex is a salesman full of a lot of bombast that can dazzle in the interview room. But when it comes down to the serious business of coaching he lacks gravitas. This clown coach was foolish enough to throw barbs at Belichick prior to an upcoming game. The New England HC responded dismissively by saying his record against him spoke for itself. What is discouraging is that he was not only given a five year deal but he was also given authority to go directly to the owner, bypassing the GM, if he felt there was a need. What were the Pegulas thinking???? Edited October 26, 2015 by JohnC
tennesseeboy Posted October 26, 2015 Posted October 26, 2015 Ryan will deliver a playoff berth and stay or he won't. If he doesn't he should really go, although I suspect an 8-8 would get him another year. He is in a pretty precarious situation right now. Nice time for the old coaching stand-bye.."when the going gets tough, the tough get going."

Nice time for the old coaching stand-bye.."when the going gets tough, the tough get going." well said. But the Bills really need to take it seriously from top to bottom. Players have definitely not quit on him. might be in argument, but he has shown he listens to his players. Watkins got plenty of looks till he puked, and the front four were released from their proverbial chains and did alright. team did not give up on EJ and neither did EJ. They have character. they just dont know who that character is. Rex should just prove it, and play more humble. i agree with that. and i always will.
Mr. WEO Posted October 27, 2015 Posted October 27, 2015 Why would anyone think that lame stunt would rise to the level of taunting. This tired gag of Rex'x has become the equivalent of grampa's "pull my finger!" schtick
Augie Posted October 27, 2015 Posted October 27, 2015 It's all fun and games until you lose. Then it's stupid. That's our "Leader" for you.
