That was weak. It's almost impossible that Bills coaches in the booth couldn't get the TV replays. He's covering for incompetence the way he often does with players.

[playman]

rex has no one to blame but his incompetent self

[MDH]

And the Bills' headset issues were with Wembley Stadium in London, yadda yadda yadda.

[atlbillsfan1975]

Rex is looking more and more like a bafoon.

[Dan]

F$*# him and his excuses. So we get faulty headsets, bad batteries, broken bus, poor replays, what else? Just man up and say I was once again out couched. I took a top 5 defense and made it average. This team is full of nothing but excuses.

[Fixxxer]

Own it Rex, don't be petty.

[John from Riverside]

I really dont want to hear that from you Rex

@mikerodak

NFL stadiums are only required to show replays of certain plays (turnovers, scores, etc.). Jeremy Maclin's catch not under that category.

They can simply watch CBS...

[Billsfan1972]

The Maclin play was obvious immediately as was the Hogan catch. What was classic was Watkins made that challenged catch on the sideline and of course they allowed plenty of time for Reid to challenge. That was a 50/50 call.

 

Manning & Elway would have run the next play to ensure no time for a challenge.

Rex on ball spot challenge & calls that merited challenges

Bills head coach Rex Ryan had his share of calls on the field to challenge in the loss to the Chiefs Sunday. The spot of the ball for a first down on an Alex Smith scramble, the Chris Hogan reception that was ruled incomplete in the fourth quarter and the Jeremy Maclin 37-yard catch where the ball appeared to make contact with the ground. Here was his take on the Taylor fourth down carry and spot of the ball and the other plays.

 

“Obviously you lean on the guys up top when they’re showing the video. They weren’t showing the video on the screen for some reason, so you lean on them,” said Ryan. “Sometimes you take chances. Sometimes they work and sometimes they don’t. At the end of the game, that was my decision 100 percent to challenge it. [i challenged it] for the simple fact that I thought it was, game on the line, it was close. I knew it was close whether Tyrod was in or out. It looked like he was inbounds. I wasn’t sure where the ball was, but at that time, they weren’t exactly showing it on there, so I had to take my chance, and that was my call all the way.”

This dude is honestly an embarrassment.

@NICK_WKBW

I'm not buying Rex's "lack of replays" on jumbo tron defense. Coaches booths equipped w/game feed. Should have seen what you all did. @WKBW

[Nitro]

Weak excuse.

[Bacchus44]

It's hard to win in the NFL (when your headsets don't work & said head is up hind-end).
