Fixxxer Posted August 3, 2019 Posted August 3, 2019 On that article, Reed exonerates Rex, he shouldn't. Rex was the main culprit of what happened here. 1

He loves Rex, so of course he did... But tone at the top is what determines tone at the bottom ... Rex is a TERRIBLE HC and that trickled down and caused all the issues throughout the organization. If his staff is garbage, it's a direct reflection of the HC. Edited August 3, 2019 by MR8 2 1

What he did with the Jets with Sanchez as his QB was far from terrible, problem is his ego got the best of him over the years and became a very lazy coach. He came to Buffalo to rob us blind.

When he arrived here you could just see him eating up the press conference. The pre game statements directed at other teams were silly. His time here was more of a circus atmosphere.
HOUSE Posted August 3, 2019 Posted August 3, 2019 (edited) Gee, I wonder Whom he is talking about? . Edited August 3, 2019 by HOUSE 4 1 1
JohnC Posted August 3, 2019 Posted August 3, 2019 The real issue isn't why Rex was fired but why was he hired? When you hire a buffoon who exhibited the same undisciplined and chaotic traits he had in his last job from which he was fired why should anyone be surprised what the outcome was going to be. The owner thought he could instantly establish some attention for his irrelevant and invisible franchise. He got it. He got the attention he was seeking for his franchise but for the wrong reasons. This was not only a bad hire by the owner but it was a peculiar and weird hiring. Thankfully, the owner learned from his stupendous mistake. In the end, the clown coach outhustled the billionaire who had to pay off the three remaining years in his lucrative contract. Maybe Rex isn't as dumb as he appears to be? A what if question: Where would this team be from a competitive standpoint if the Pegula/s hired McDermott or someone as capable when he first bought the team. This franchise was set back with the Rex hire and the next coach took extra time trying to clean out the mess. When you go backwards you then have to go farther to move forward. The Rex era was such a stupid and wasteful interlude. 7 1 1
ghostwriter Posted August 3, 2019 Posted August 3, 2019 Well, he probably shouldn't have made his feelings public.... It reflects poorly on Reed.. but I think we all already knew this.

Mr. WEO Posted August 3, 2019 Posted August 3, 2019 He may have the "knowledge" to be a coach...but Ed Reed ain't no coach. Rex hiring him was a typical goofball Rex move. McD fixed that right away. 2
Malazan Posted August 3, 2019 Posted August 3, 2019 Let's also take a moment to appreciate what a terrible idea it is to hire a head coach immediately after he was fired by another team in your own division. 1 2

ganesh Posted August 3, 2019 Posted August 3, 2019 The other problem was that Rex was not hired by the GM (Whaley). There was no cohesiveness between them. That is why when the Pegulas went over Whaley again to hire McDermott, Whaley was shown the door as that would have been yet another failure.

At first we may have been a little optimistic when he arrived. Afterall, he did have some success with the Jets...then the superficial lens and fog lifted. 1

Ga boy Posted August 3, 2019 Posted August 3, 2019 Must admit I was all in for Gregg, Mularky, Dick, Chan, St Doug, Rex (loved that blue pickup), Rob, Drew, JP, Trent, Fitz, EJ, and even NP. Definitely now a billiever in McD and Josh. I'm over due. Law of averages say we got our guys. Go Bills!! 1 1
