BobbyC81 Posted December 30, 2015 Posted December 30, 2015 Having just watched Smokey and the Bandit, all I can say is "somb1tch!"
atlbillsfan1975 Posted December 30, 2015 Posted December 30, 2015 a year of continuity may be a good thing. Whaley will find a few LB's who will suit Rex's system in the off season, whether by draft or FA. Whaley will work hard at getting the guys signed the Bills want back. under Whaley's watch i can not think of one Bill's FA that got away that i really miss. Get rid of the malcontent players and fill back in with guys that want to be here and play for Rex and his system on D. Let Roman keep working with Tyrod. If not in the playoffs in 2016, then i think we hear the Pegulas singing a new tune.
K-9 Posted December 30, 2015 Posted December 30, 2015 I'm fairly certain Brandon is the media leak. He almost has to be. I wouldn't be too sure of that. There are people that have been in prominent positions in that building a lot longer than Brandon and who weren't just a little miffed at his favored role by Mr. Wilson and quick rise in the organization. GO BILLS!!!
machine gun kelly Posted December 30, 2015 Posted December 30, 2015 As much as i hate it, your right, and will have to just say "who knows in 2016" vs. the excitement that went into 2015. I have no faith in this crew, but understand why they stand where they do this year, and wait to see improvement. They will lose the fans after next year with another year of blowhard promises, and crappy defensive play. The crazy thing is Rex should know he would have been somewhat excused for average offensive play, but it was such a slap in the face to ruin an elite defense.
3rdand12 Posted December 30, 2015 Posted December 30, 2015 (edited) Let me be the fist to say "yawn" At least you can keep your pitchfork lit now... Just fell off my chair. Figuratively speaking. Gotta put that one in the vault Edited December 30, 2015 by 3rdand12
Saint Doug Posted December 30, 2015 Posted December 30, 2015 Anyone who thinks Rex will be here in 2018 is naive. He has no track record of building a winning team. Quite the opposite. He'll stick around another 2 years, in the name of "stability/continuity", but then he'll be let go. It's too bad the FO (i.e. Pegula) can't see this. On well, it's his team, not ours. The crazy thing is Rex should know he would have been somewhat excused for average offensive play, but it was such a slap in the face to ruin an elite defense. Bingo. He would still enjoy his legendary status if he kept the defense as a top-5 unit. We all knew the offense was a work in progress, we never knew the defense was too.
Fixxxer Posted December 30, 2015 Posted December 30, 2015 We knew this was going to happen. Now we have to hope Ryan matures as a person and coach, takes a humility bath and becomes the coach he thinks he is. GO BILLS!!!
3rdand12 Posted December 30, 2015 Posted December 30, 2015 (edited) Hey look it's the same thread we've already had 15 other times! No this ones pretty good ! i think the Pro Bills are ahead at the half. This might be the most enjoyable thread in a couple weeks actually. because its not heated and devolved. and some of my favorite posters are here. Including Fire Chan. no seriously, he is. Unless you believe--as I do--that instability is what caused the organization to be bad in the first place. LOL. you aint the only one. tweak it ? sure enough. Kyle Williams can probably play any scheme and all the techs at each position on the line. Mentally. Think about how many changes he has gone through ? I dont think its going to turn out a retooling on the D. some ass't and position Coaches and some players. natural progression for a first year team under regime change Disappointing, but not unexpected. With a little better luck on the injuries and some better fitting personnel, things might improve. Like most of you, I will watch until it becomes unbearable. I'm curious to see how Brandon sells this turd, though. It will require all his skills. My prediction is that the Pegulas will see that and mostly empty stadium and boxes will lose them more money than cutting Rex loose. Just have to endure one more ugly season. 17 it is! Happy New Year, all. Your conversations make it all worth it. Edited December 30, 2015 by 3rdand12
simpleman Posted December 30, 2015 Posted December 30, 2015 (edited) To all the Rex supporters. Exactly how many games this year do you think Rex out-coached the opponents coaching staff? And how many games do you think Rex was out-coached by the opposing coach? How many games did the Bills win because of Rex's brilliant coaching strategy? And do you really think the defense had less talent this year than the team Rex acquired when he took over here? How is taking a top defensive unit and rebuilding it into something different and less effective building "continuity"? Edited December 30, 2015 by simpleman
PromoTheRobot Posted December 30, 2015 Posted December 30, 2015 Didn't you know? Everything is Russ Brandon's fault. The midget trainer. He's actually pulling the strings.

Now we have to hope Ryan matures as a person and coach, takes a humility bath and becomes the coach he thinks he is. GO BILLS!!! Perfectly said in regard our to Mr. Ryan. We should all expect more next year. From Pegulas to Rex to us litttle folks
Rico Posted December 30, 2015 Posted December 30, 2015 No surprise, Rex wasn't going anywhere, and after Vic C. stated that he had another year on his contract, neither was DW. 17 years and counting, it is.
fridge Posted December 30, 2015 Posted December 30, 2015 Indeed it is my friend and that was my point. I don't see him involved in personnel decisions. I LOVE When fans think that it's a wild conspiracy theory that Russ Brandon is deeply involved with the decisions of this team. He has been heavily involved in the hiring of all the recent coaches (I believe he straight up hired Doug Marrone) and he has a seat right at the table on draft day. He's making calls to GM's on draft day and is way too involved in football decisions. This is not debatable, and all of you that think he rescinded power when the Pegula's took over are absolute suckers. You think a guy that's very comfortable being heavily involved making personnel decisions is just going to hand in his badge when he doesn't have to? It's ridiculous. He's never been part of a winning organization, and most of the marketing that you all praise is awful, especially the Toronto deal. It's not hard to sell to this market. We love football. Now he's the President of the sabres? The guy eats at Tempo every week and is literally sponsored by a suit salesmen. He's full sleaze.

Its a new staff bringing in their own program and their different concepts. Continuity that most of us a speaking to , is keeping the Brand New Pegula Whaley Ryan show up and running. That's the one we are talking of i think.
FLFan Posted December 30, 2015 Posted December 30, 2015 Wow. I am really surprised that a man who built a multi-billion dollar business did not make a critical business decision based on the uninformed opinions of fans or the even less informed whining of local media members. What a shock!
Mojo44 Posted December 30, 2015 Posted December 30, 2015 He's safe in Cleveland, if Dennis Thurman is allowed to Rex's puppet DC then I see next season going nowhere as this season. It's clear Rex needs to not call the plays and needs to focus more on being head coach overseeing the game day operation. This is the entire problem in a nutshell. Rex is seemingly incapable of doing just that. What a HC needs to do first and foremost: focus more on being a head coach and overseeing game day operations. There is enough history on him to cast doubt that he could ever develop this skill set. But now I hope he does.

Bookie Man Posted December 30, 2015 Posted December 30, 2015 Please just get a defense that can apply pressure next season. Add some pieces to the offense and hopefully Tyrod continues to develop. But Rex really needs to shift from being so much a players coach to more of a disciplinarian type IMO.

What a shock! The genuine shock is that they did not make a critical business decision based on actuarial data: Ryan's history!
K-Apps Posted December 30, 2015 Posted December 30, 2015 This is the entire problem in a nutshell. Rex is seemingly incapable of doing just that. What a HC needs to do first and foremost: focus more on being a head coach and overseeing game day operations. There is enough history on him to cast doubt that he could ever develop this skill set. But now I hope he does. Biggest reason why I hated that him and Schwartz could not have co-existed, if he allowed Schwartz to run his D with minimal input at times, I think they would've at least been position for Sunday's game to be win and you are in. It also would allow Rex to focus on in-game coaching strategy and decision-making, which seems to be Rex's big problems which I don't see improving anytime soon.
