Billznut Posted October 14, 2016 Posted October 14, 2016 Oh, Lordy, here we go. No wonder fans on this board are bipolar. The media is freakin' bipolar. Me, I'm glad we've played good football 3 weeks in a row but I'll have faith that Rex can sustain effort and preparation when I see it. As a Bills fan, we've seen the team win 3, or 5, or some other number, in a row so many times and we all think "oh, this is it! Finally, here we go, we CAN have nice things!" only to watch the wheels fall off. ^ this ^ I'll wait until January to declare this a successful season or not. If we make the playoffs, I'll agree. But the last 16 years have more than earned me this right.
billsfan89 Posted October 14, 2016 Posted October 14, 2016 Rex is a upper mid level coach, a great defensive mind and a players coach who always gets his players to play hard for him. However he isn't that great at in game clock and decision management (Not terrible but not fantastic either), his track record on putting together an offensive coaching staffs isn't the best either. Another negative on him is that his teams commit penalties at a above average rate and the teams discipline can get away from them at times. From 2009-2014 the Jets were 20th, 15th, 15th, 29th, 10th, and 16th in penalties per game the Bills last year led the league in penalties obviously ranked 32nd. So Ryan's teams aren't the best in terms of penalties although he hasn't been as bad historically as most think. Ryan is a coach who probably works best in a 4-5 year period giving a great boost to defenses and a coach players love to play for. But Players coaches always end up losing the locker room quicker. Hopefully Ryan learned from his tenure with the Jets how to balance the players and discipline. If he can bring in good offensive minds, find the right balance between his players and discipline, and keep the penalties down then he might have a longer tenure. The season is still young lets see how Ryan manages the challenges of the team as they push to make the playoffs for the first time in a long time.
SF Bills Fan Posted October 14, 2016 Posted October 14, 2016 My two major problems from last year- lack of discipline and stupid penalties coupled with his laissez faire attitude from Rex toward that have been addressed and (so far) are non-issues. We lost games last year on penalties that kept us from being a playoff team. Now, the players are playing smart, they have bought into the system and Rex is saying the right things and we are getting the wins. So far, I'm satisfied. This is the year I thought we'd get last year.
Talley56 Posted October 14, 2016 Posted October 14, 2016 Waiting for our next 3 game losing streak when he'll suddenly be one of the worst coaches of all time.
JPicc2114 Posted October 14, 2016 Posted October 14, 2016 lol this is laughable. He should be a D-coordinator somewhere.. Guy is a joke. Don't be shocked if the Bills lose to the niners and/or the Dolphins then people will be calling for his head again
ricojes Posted October 14, 2016 Posted October 14, 2016 Rex might be one of the NFL's Best Head Coaches Well if TT is as bad as most here say, and McCoy is overpaid, and drafting Sammy wasn't worth the price, and our Defensive scheme is outdated, and the GM sucks, and the owner is meddling, and the WR corp is weak, and TE is overpaid, and Dareus was suspended for 4 games and now hurt, 1st round draft pick hurt, 2nd round draft pick hurt, and Gilmore is letting his contract affect his play, and on and on....Then Rex coaching this team to a 3-2 record is remarkable...

Mr. WEO Posted October 15, 2016 Posted October 15, 2016 (edited) this is absolutely ridiculous and shows how idiotic the media can be, he was being drawn and quartered 3 weeks ago as the worst coach in the nfl since kay stephenson, now all of a sudden he's the best ever???? the media seems to love to throw things out there in a kind of blind squirrel type of thing. he's always been a very good coach, but sometimes in some professions, very good people aren't given the time necessary at one spot to build and prove their value. Now now.....this is the exact same thing that has been going on here on this very board. People were hanging themselves after the Jets game and after the Bills win 3, suddenly the Rex/Rob/Whaley/McCoy "repent here" threads popped up like hookers outside the Javitts Center.

Bigantall Posted October 15, 2016 Posted October 15, 2016 Way too much optimism and positivity from the media lately. Dont like it. 23-17 9ers this Sunday. (gotta balance it out!) gotta agree with you its called attentionitous it's destroyed lots of teams
PromoTheRobot Posted October 15, 2016 Posted October 15, 2016 If the Bills win the next 3, the media will be talking up superbowl.If we win the next three that means we swept the Pats with Brady.
YoloinOhio Posted October 15, 2016 Posted October 15, 2016 gotta agree with you its called attentionitous it's destroyed lots of teamsi have seen it too, on all kinds of teams. Hope it doesn't occur here, however, IMO most of the attention this week has been on Kaepernick. Probably a good thing for the Bills, should they have fallen into a comfortable spot thinking they would face Gabbert. No chance with Kaep starting since he will involve an extra level of preparation and focus.
Augie Posted October 15, 2016 Posted October 15, 2016 Correct me if I'm wrong (and I know I can count on you guys! ), but didn't we start winning when Rex gave defensive calls to Thurman and we got a new OC? So maybe it's less Rex that is great?
Mr. WEO Posted October 15, 2016 Posted October 15, 2016 If we win the next three that means we swept the Pats with Brady. Huh?
PromoTheRobot Posted October 15, 2016 Posted October 15, 2016 (edited) Huh? Let me break it down. Winning three more means the Bills will have swept the Patriots, even with Tom Brady playing. Is that clearer or do I need to draw pictures? Edited October 15, 2016 by PromoTheRobot
Buffalo Barbarian Posted October 15, 2016 Posted October 15, 2016 Hes the best head coach we have had all year! Let me break it down. Winning three more means the Bills will have swept the Patriots, even with Tom Brady playing. Is that clearer or do I need to draw pictures? I think he is referring to that Brady didn't play the first game.
PromoTheRobot Posted October 15, 2016 Posted October 15, 2016 I think he is referring to that Brady didn't play the first game. I know. Who'd ever imagine WEO making excuses for his beloved Patriots?
