TANK2 Posted January 31, 2017 Posted January 31, 2017 I'm just the marketing guy and for the record have no input on anything football related(that fail) but "Don't let him leave the building" How Brandon still has a job is beyond me.
Bills Fan in MD Posted January 31, 2017 Posted January 31, 2017 I thought Rex was a clown in NJ but gave him the benefit of the doubt that he learned from his first HC stint, had some success, knew the division, and I still believe Idzik stripped him of talent with the Jets. I supported him until about halfway through this year when it appeared to me he was mailing it in and shirking accountability. I strongly dislike how he decided to go out with this interview. Classless and shrugging his shoulders. Â My feelings on Rex pretty much followed the exact same pattern. Agree with every word of your post.
Over 29 years of fanhood Posted January 31, 2017 Posted January 31, 2017 Typical rich kid spoiled brat mentality. When he's actually held accountable- its everyone else's fault and screw them. Â Poor Rex, an unfortunate victim of wrongful employment due to nepotism. No business being an NFL head coach. Â Without his daddy's name he'd be some sort of mid level sales manager having to work for a living instead of an independently wealthy walking talking sound byte...
Beef Jerky Posted January 31, 2017 Posted January 31, 2017 Well hopefully he has a heart attack with no one around to help him
BarleyNY Posted January 31, 2017 Posted January 31, 2017 Â Nothing is going to work. Wait until Brady retires in 5-6 years and then give it a run. Â Ralph knew what he was doing. Pay the least amount possible for the coaching staff knowing in advance it wasn't going to work out. . $25M for two seasons of head coaching is a good deal for Pegula how?
leh-nerd skin-erd Posted January 31, 2017 Posted January 31, 2017 . $25M for two seasons of head coaching is a good deal for Pegula how? conventional wisdom suggests you wait it out and give rr time to build it. problem was, the issues that plagued him in ny continued to plague him in year two in wny. big mouth, big promises, and a consistently incomplete package on the field. he brought his brother in to help coach and it seemed at times to go from bad to worse.  in that sense, I respect the Pegula's decision to eat the remaining contract and rip the band aid off. when I read this story--and seeing how rr really looks at the world, I wonder what cracks there were in the façade behind the scenes.  for what it's worth, had he stayed, I'd have supported him. when he left, I wished him well. when I read this, I thought "what a small-minded, petty and bitter man.".  now I'm going to get a g-d snack.
Adam Posted January 31, 2017 Posted January 31, 2017 I like how it talks about 'if he has a chance, a real chance he'll be back'. So basically he wants a super bowl team handed to him. I liked and supported him when he was here but man, f him now. If he hadn't destroyed a great defense with a gimmick scheme, he may have had that.
PromoTheRobot Posted January 31, 2017 Posted January 31, 2017 Â Why would Brady retire after coming off one of his best seasons and winning the Super Bowl? Only if there is an investigation into his PED use.
Kirby Jackson Posted January 31, 2017 Posted January 31, 2017 Not sure why Rex feels like he got a bad deal? He was a self-proclaimed defensive guru that took a good defense and made it bad. He made some indefensible in game decisions (punting in OT vs. Miami) and couldn't get the right packages (or even right number of guys) on the field. I'm not sure where he thinks the blame for all of that should fall?

The difference was, Rex never bothered to win them over. It's still his fault, but I bet that's his delusion. That he was never fully supported as HC.
Luxy312 Posted January 31, 2017 Posted January 31, 2017 When Rex came into Buffalo, it seemed that he clearly understood the Bills fan base. We've endured 17 years without a playoff game and yet don't walk away from out team. We're behind our coach and our players no matter what, almost to a fault. He is the one that dismantled the defense. Let's fire the DC of the 2nd best defense in the NFL so that he can ultimately hand the job to his brother. Ryan turned a $95 million pass rushing defensive tackle into a run stuffing nose tackle. As for the quarterback, Orton didn't quit, he retired. Irrelevant anyway, as Taylor is better than him. I didn't care about any of these changes, until his last statement. "He'll root for the Jets". I have to wonder what he has to gain by saying thisw. That final statement is pretty much giving Bills fans the middle finger. It makes him no better than "cash out" Marrone. It's crystal clear that he never understood this team or the fans at all. Good riddance.

Â That, as well as injuries and not having those lost picks to use from the Watkins trade.
Prickly Pete Posted January 31, 2017 Posted January 31, 2017 (edited) I hated the Wrex Wyan hiring, but many people here loved it and were snarky and defiant towards people that didn't like it. We all said "we'll see"...we saw, and it sucked. Edited January 31, 2017 by HoF Watkins

John from Riverside Posted January 31, 2017 Posted January 31, 2017 Not to say I told you so but... then dont?
FireChan Posted January 31, 2017 Posted January 31, 2017 then dont? Oh John. I could never pass up this opportunity. It's always the best silver lining.
Zulu Cthulhu Posted January 31, 2017 Posted January 31, 2017 Awfully bitter for someone getting paid handsomely not to work. Guy is and always has been a .500 coach he should count himself lucky.
Ridgewaycynic2013 Posted January 31, 2017 Posted January 31, 2017 Make the Ryans Great Again Well, perhaps President Trump can revive the President's Council on Physical Fitness. Wrecks and Wobb as fitness czars, riding that damned tandem bicycle to an event near you. For an extra $20, Wrecks will wear the Clemson helmet.
