YoloinOhio Posted September 5, 2017 Author Posted September 5, 2017 I've been following the Bills since the 60s and never been as disappointed as I was during the wrecks era. I have seen some pretty sucky games and even entire seasons, but somehow having that idiot on the sidelines waste such a talented team really made me consider doing something else with my Sundays.i thought it was a "good" team too. Then 10 men on the field happened and I lost all faith I had left in Rex. That was when I finally said he had to go. Then the interview after he was fired and that made me nauseaus because he couldn't be more classless in addition to not putting in the effort to make the team a winner.
RoyBatty is alive Posted September 5, 2017 Posted September 5, 2017 Thinkof this, his two former teams are projected to be at or near the bottom in the NFL. Vegas Odds to win the Super Bowl from have the Jets 1000 to 1, the Bills 200 to 1....There is 4 way tie between Cleveland, San Fran, Chic and Jax at 100 to 1. i thought it was a "good" team too. Then 10 men on the field happened and I lost all faith I had left in Rex. That was when I finally said he had to go. Then the interview after he was fired and that made me nauseaus because he couldn't be more classless in addition to not putting in the effort to make the team a winner. I bought all in on Rex, I admit it but I did a 180 after the Kansas City game where he screwed up all the challenges and tried to use as an excuse he didnt know how the replay system worked. Really, after being a NFL HC for 6 season didn't know how the replay system worked? Inexcusable. Then the Pegula's let him bring in the ft slob brother of his, the DC from the worst Defense in the NFL that was fired mid-season, truly unbelievable. The 10 men on the feild wasnt that a TD versus the Texans, that was a beauty. Or how about out 2 minute drills with Tyrod Taylor, wowzer, some of those were classics.
Hapless Bills Fan Posted September 5, 2017 Posted September 5, 2017 (edited) To be fair, getting canned by the Bills after just two .500 seasons when your 1st and 2nd round picks are injured is questionable I think the simple truth is that Pegula grew to dislike Rex and his antics Based just on that information, I would agree. But there's more to it, as I suspect you know. The team never looked well-prepared under Rex. From Game 2 of the 2015 season against the Pats, where we gave up 140 yds on 14 penalties - including on Rex, it just never got better. Then there was the D. OK, he tried to run a hybrid (or so he said), he needed his own guys, etc etc. - shame they didn't hire a HC who could have worked with the D we had, but that's water under the bridge now. Season 2. I turned from "Hopeful" to "Hapless Bills Fan" during Game 1 against the Baltimore Ravens. The team simply did not look prepared and from 10 men on field to 12 men on field, it never got better. Meanwhile excuse city was going down in Rexland. Flip the channel to NE** vs Ari and there's NE, star QB suspended, best D player out, handful of other injuries, going after AZ like a bulldozer after a cowdozer, never say quit. I think the simple truth is that Pegula grew to see that Rex was no longer committed to coaching and didn't have either the skill set or the will to fix the undisciplined play and field a team that was sharp and ready to play every week.

RoyBatty is alive Posted September 5, 2017 Posted September 5, 2017 Bills fans just turn on anyone that leaves or has an opinion. Rex has done more with his life than many of you put together. Certainly helps to have his father as a legendary NFL: head coach. He would be a High School position coach with Buddy. Having sail that, I would love to hear him as a color commentator, you could never predict what boneheaded stupid thing or insult would come out of his bloated mouth.
K D Posted September 5, 2017 Posted September 5, 2017 Rex is going to love seeing the Jets and Bills combined win less games than the Pats. Then he can say see it wasn't my fault I'm a great coach!
dave mcbride Posted September 5, 2017 Posted September 5, 2017 The expectations where higher because you inherited a #4 defense...these coaches are lower because they inherited your mess...jackass #2 defense using DVOA.
QCity Posted September 5, 2017 Posted September 5, 2017 I think the simple truth is that Pegula grew to see that Rex was no longer committed to coaching Getting drubbed by the Patriots and then showing up 3 days later on TV at the World Series doesn't exactly paint a picture of commitment and dedication, does it? His well-oiled team surely didn't need an extra day of preparation -- it was only Seattle on Monday night coming up.

BuffAlone Posted September 5, 2017 Posted September 5, 2017 He did throw poor Darby under the bus though. Yeah..wasn't that rex's first draft pick? Why draft him if he doesn't have ball skills? Lol. Weird
Captain Hindsight Posted September 5, 2017 Posted September 5, 2017 and his poor preparation, work ethic, and sloppy coaching. Usually I am an advocate of giving coaches time but It appeared it was only going to get worse. I saw from the stands that the Bills had 10 men on the field against Miami. 20 coach staff didnt notice. Thats why he got fired
mead107 Posted September 5, 2017 Posted September 5, 2017 Well, hell, let's start with the obvious "Because we don't have your twin brother on the sidelines in any capacity" and go from there...agree
BigPappy Posted September 5, 2017 Posted September 5, 2017 If Rex doesn't agree with the approach it's a good sign you are on the right track
Captain_Quint Posted September 5, 2017 Posted September 5, 2017 Bills fans just turn on anyone that leaves or has an opinion. Rex has done more with his life than many of you put together. So the place you make your stand is with Rex Ryan?? BOLD
CircleTheWagons99 Posted September 5, 2017 Posted September 5, 2017 Rex Ryan on whether he'll watch his two exes, Jets and Bills: 'Hell, no'http://www.espn.com/blog/new-york-jets/post/_/id/70973/rex-ryan-on-whether-hell-watch-his-two-exes-jets-and-bills-hell-no Taps the Mic....Is this thing on?
OldTimeAFLGuy Posted September 5, 2017 Posted September 5, 2017 This guy gets paid millions for the next three years to do nothing, but he's tired of getting screwed. ...huh?....he's been paid millions FOR YEARS and has done nothing.....bloviator just like the old man was......
JESSEFEFFER Posted September 5, 2017 Posted September 5, 2017 (edited) I saw from the stands that the Bills had 10 men on the field against Miami. 20 coach staff didnt notice. Thats why he got fired Context always matters and in this case it gets worse. In OT, after a TV timeout, after a 4th an 2 punt with 4+ minutes to play in a game where a tie does them no good. I think there were 27 coaches on his staff as well. Next time you see a high school team on the field and a player counting the number of his teammates on the field with him think of this. Rex's coaching style relied heavily on building his relationships with players and not attention to details, such as having someone designated to check the time on the play clock when the ball is marked ready for play. It's bad when the fans at home or in the stands know more about what's happening than Rex or his 27 coaches or the players on the field. Paying attention to details takes time and work. Leadership via personality is a lazy or incompetent man's only option. I prefer the professorial type leader. Levy over Ditka. Obama over Trump. But, Rex was fun until his flaws caught up with him and cost the team wins. Edited September 5, 2017 by JESSEFEFFER
OldTimeAFLGuy Posted September 5, 2017 Posted September 5, 2017 Clown ....WELL?...did we win the pre-season or not???.....
