Overseas Bills Fan Posted January 1, 2017 Posted January 1, 2017 http://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/lesean-mccoy-bills-had-talent-to-win-rex-ryan-blew-it-with-lack-of-discipline/ This sounds like Camp Jauron ver 2.0 I hate the phrase "player's coach." Want to be a player's coach? Win! Herb Brooks was not a player's coach. Tom Landry wasn't. Lombardi wasn't Madden definitely wasn't Stop being these primma donna's friend and be their boss!
Prickly Pete Posted January 1, 2017 Posted January 1, 2017 (edited) I don't know if I agree with these players coming out and saying it, but I believe that discipline is a big problem with this team. There are coaches that could have gotten to the playoffs with this roster (Belichick, and Andy Reid come to mind). Edited January 1, 2017 by HoF Watkins
Nihilarian Posted January 1, 2017 Posted January 1, 2017 This was obvious after 2015 when the team was #2 in the league in penalties. In that NY Giants game, the Bills had 17 penalties for 135 yards and the Bills defense gave the Giants 7 first downs by penalty! Inexcusable! http://www.espn.com/nfl/matchup?gameId=400791678
ganesh Posted January 1, 2017 Posted January 1, 2017 The question is if the Bills do get a disciplinarian, then are they going to cut people like Hughes who are vastly ill-disciplined
NorthBuffaloKid Posted January 1, 2017 Posted January 1, 2017 Get a good GM and let him pick the coach.
Saint Doug Posted January 1, 2017 Posted January 1, 2017 The question is if the Bills do get a disciplinarian, then are they going to cut people like Hughes who are vastly ill-disciplined Maybe he's that way due to lack of discipline. Needs to be whipped into shape. Dareus too.
Niagara Bill Posted January 1, 2017 Posted January 1, 2017 Rex has always been a players coach which translates into real life as 1) he plays favorites always 2) he makes excuses for some and punishes others who don't follow him like a disciple 3)he keeps his favs way to long ( such as Spikes) who do not earn their keep, and gives his special friends more chances (Harvin types) 4) he uses his favs to spy on the team and pass messages to the team and thus splits the team. You can have players who lead and teach on the field but the message cannot be created by the head coach so they become just a pipeline. 5) cuts players who he should keep likely because he gets info from his spys (Hogan comes quicklt to mind) Rex had the same issues at the Jets, his father had the same issues and split the team eventually I have no direct proof of this but we have all seen it and if it smells like a dead fish it likely is a dead fish. Good Bye Rex, you may know football but you aren't a leader and never will be.
Fadingpain Posted January 1, 2017 Posted January 1, 2017 Get a good GM and let him pick the coach. No need! We conveniently have the perfect HC candidate in house! His name is Anthony Lynn! Easy Peasy!
D. L. Hot-Flamethrower Posted January 1, 2017 Posted January 1, 2017 No need! We conveniently have the perfect HC candidate in house! His name is Anthony Lynn! Easy Peasy! yes
DallasBillsFan1 Posted January 1, 2017 Posted January 1, 2017 Greg Williams was a disciplinarian ... how did that work out? But, I am happy Rex is gone ... I recall that he brought Jets players to Dave & Busters or some place like that to relieve stress/have fun. Pretty sure Belichick or Parcells didn't do sh*t like that. Also, interested to know how many other teams this year had 10 players on the field at a crucial time on the field? Likely the teams in the playoffs didn't allow for those circumstances ... or have 27 coaches on their sidelines. What a mess.
JOE IN HAMPTON ROADS Posted January 1, 2017 Posted January 1, 2017 No need! We conveniently have the perfect HC candidate in house! His name is Anthony Lynn! Easy Peasy! anyone know Lynns leadership style? I hear he is :no nonsense:
Helpmenow Posted January 1, 2017 Posted January 1, 2017 Was Greg ever respected? Seems like he is a total jerk and not real liked since he left here
Mr. WEO Posted January 1, 2017 Posted January 1, 2017 How much "discipline" do veteran NFL players need? These aren't raw recruits who need to be daddy'd into shape. The talent level isn't what they think it is. Pretty simple.

rant_and_go Posted January 1, 2017 Posted January 1, 2017 the talent on his team wasn't all that great...Good skill players on offense with a terrible offensive line Oline was great. Discipline and having fun are not contrary to each other. Rex was myopic and hid it with distractions.
3rdand12 Posted January 1, 2017 Posted January 1, 2017 anyone know Lynns leadership style? I hear he is :no nonsense: from the players, exactly as you stated. military style. in theory, just what the good Dr ordered the Bills. we shall see.
mob16151 Posted January 1, 2017 Posted January 1, 2017 Was Greg ever respected? Seems like he is a total jerk and not real liked since he left here I mean,you can be a disciplinarian without being a jerk. Any good NCO could tell you that.
