eme123 Posted December 13, 2015 Posted December 13, 2015 I hate to say "I told ya so" but I said since the Bills hired him that Rex is a below average NFL head coach
billsfan_34 Posted December 13, 2015 Author Posted December 13, 2015 Right. That's on the players. It's not " rocket surgery" . Don't commit pre snap and generally dumb penalties. They know this. Some guys just don't play smart and you have to weed them out. Many of them were here before and had a rep for penalties already. I mean, how often is Mario Williams flagged? Is he being coached " better" than Jerry Hughes? Its common knowledge that heavily penalized teams lack discipline- im talking from a team standpoint. And this team has Rex's footprint. We can agree to disagree. BFS: battered fan syndrome. I have it too. I'll be back next year. Great I have that along with PTSD- im screwed lol
Stormin Norman Posted December 13, 2015 Posted December 13, 2015 Could it have been a collective show of support and relief from constantly worrying about the future of the team in Buffalo? That awakened the inner fan in folks who had become unwilling to get emotionally and financially invested in a team that looked destined to leave? Even casual NFL fans knew the team still lacked a proven QB ( and still does) and that Brady and Belichick still resided in the AFC East. So I have a hard time believing THAT many fans were so blindly optimistic faced with that reality. Some , perhaps . But it seemed more a celebration that the Bills belonged to Buffalo for good. After week 17 last year, most Bills fans weren't even expecting a change at HC. The offseason moves were interesting , but obviously not enough to catapult this roster into contention. I can't deny your point about the relief from the worry of losing our team. I am certainly among those folks who were very concerned. But we also have a 16-year sobering track record to consider as well. No one sells belief like the Bills and this was yet another example of "hook planted firmly in fan mouth." Think about the level of ineptitude it takes to not make the playoffs over 16 consecutive seasons. There can be no true bandwagon to jump on until the Bills are in the post season. Until then, every change they make DESERVES all the skepticism a Jerry Sullivan can muster. Every Jets fan on planet Earth can rightly say, "I told you so."
Niagara Dude Posted December 13, 2015 Posted December 13, 2015 and that is all about team discipline, that is all Rex! 15 penalties for 101 yards vs 5 for 55 for the Eagles, I mean WTF its all on the coaches! The REFS are really showing Rex who the bully is this season, can you stay 60 mins with the Bully Rex?
billsfan_34 Posted December 13, 2015 Author Posted December 13, 2015 Me. Players make plays. Too simplified- lets not have any coaches then
BillsFanSD Posted December 13, 2015 Posted December 13, 2015 I still like it. The defense took a big step backwards this year, but the offense took a huge step forward. I have no interest in turning into the Browns. This team was competitive and relevant and I'm all for giving Rex a couple more years.

Those Jets fans can say that, but they also got to witness their team make the playoffs and get to 2 AFC tile games, knocking off the Pats in Foxboro along the way. These are things Bills fans can only dream of, so my empathy meter isn't exactly running high for Jets fans. Every NFL teams job is to sell " hope" in one way or another, especially when half the teams lack a top QB, and wins are never guaranteed . At least the Bills made moves . Probably not good enough yet.

The Big Cat Posted December 13, 2015 Posted December 13, 2015 Too simplified- lets not have any coaches then That's dumb

Jerry Jabber Posted December 14, 2015 Posted December 14, 2015 Fire Rex, Thurman and Crossman, promote Roman to HC and bring back Schwartz as the DC.
Gray Beard Posted December 14, 2015 Posted December 14, 2015 In order to still like it, I would have had to like it in the first place. Didn't like it then, don't like it now. Can't imagine I will ever like it.
BmarvB Posted December 14, 2015 Posted December 14, 2015 I never did I thought and still think Roman as HC and Schwartz as DC was all this team needed I would love it if they bought out Rex and made that combination happen.
billsfan_34 Posted December 14, 2015 Author Posted December 14, 2015 I would love it if they bought out Rex and made that combination happen. Sad thing is he isnt going anywhere but Crossman and Thurman must go
Santana Posted December 14, 2015 Posted December 14, 2015 Never liked the Rex hire. Thought it was more of a publicity hire than anything. Rex shouldn't be a HC its obvious he's not really cut out for it.
billsfan_34 Posted December 14, 2015 Author Posted December 14, 2015 I loved it. Mea Culpa Admitting is half the battle
