Didn’t he have Mario pulling back and defending the pass all the time. Is he the coach who had Mario wear those stupid red contacts so he was sooo scary 1 Quote
SoTier Posted April 4 Posted April 4 38 minutes ago, H2o said: Rex Ryan inherited the #2 defense in the NFL from 2014. He proceeded to then turn them into a middling group in 2015 and hired his idiot brother to coach with him in 2016. He wouldn't have gotten this team to the Playoffs multiple times in a row, more or less win multiple division titles in a row. One of the most overrated coaches of all time. Yes! He was a crappy HC who got lucky a couple of times and managed to get a few playoff wins. In his 6 seasons with the Jests, he had only 2 winning seasons. His offenses were god awful even with a young QB drafted in the top 5. He did NOTHING to develop Mark Sanchez, so why would anyone think that he could take a raw young QB like Allen and do anything with him? After his failure with the Jests, he mismanaged and miscoached the Bills for almost 2 seasons before being fired, leaving a talent-depleted team for McDermott. Ryan was a step up from Dick Jauron (easily one of the worst HCs in the NFL in this century), but probably a down-grade from Gailey and Marrone who had significantly less talent to work with. This one is for all you Ryan fans out there ... 1 1 Quote
fridge Posted April 4 Posted April 4 Rex Ryan was in vacation mode when he coached the Bills, so I doubt it would have worked out for the better. The real question is -- how different would the last couple years have gone if the Bills replaced McDermott with Daboll after 13 seconds? 1 Quote
ControllerOfPlanetX Posted April 4 Posted April 4 Depends on who the GM is, Whaley and Rex did not mesh which was recipe for disaster. Quote

dgrochester55 Posted April 4 Posted April 4 McDermott's in-game management is questionable, but he was Vince Lombardi compared to Ryan's game management. Who can forget the penalties, including one or two for 12 men on the field every game? There was a lackadaisical culture, and Rob Ryan's defenses made almost every quarterback look like Allen or Mahomes. There was no culture, and most of the more talented players were there for the paycheck. Revisionist history can make the grass seem greener, but most of us couldn't wait to see Ryan gone by the end of 2016. I know we are frustrated with being stuck in the mud as a playoff but not a Super Bowl team, but let's not forget where we were in the drought. 1 2 Quote

GunnerBill Posted April 4 Posted April 4 1 hour ago, uticaclub said: More talented? We had a huge influx of talent in 2017; nailed the draft, Poyer & Hyde, and Shady was healthy. The 2015 roster was by a distance the best Bills roster of the drought. And played a soft as ***** schedule. And Rex went 8-8 after being 6-8 and out of the running with two weeks to go. He ***** sucked. 1 Quote
GoBills808 Posted April 4 Posted April 4 Back to back AFCCG w Mark Sanchez Beat the dynasty mode Patriots in Foxborough along the way but yeah he sucks😂😂 Quote

He was half assing it the moment he arrived. To be honest I always thought he wae overrated riding the coat tails of some talented defenses in Baltimore and New York. I hated the hire. When I speak to my ex we still laugh about my reaction the day he was hired. I was close to jump off a bridge territory. But we didn't even get the best Rex. We got the pay cheque collector.

Well that's the thing.. we got the rex that stopped trying Not fat Rex who was the best defensive mind in the world... Just cuz you were the best doesn't mean you stay the best... Young hungry coaches kept adapting and he stayed stagnant Remember at the end of the day it is the Jimmy's and the Joe's not the x's and o's... You need good professional football players to buy in... Because they don't always He got professional football players to buy in to his system for a decade with top notch professional results He certainly was not overrated when he cared Edited April 4 by Buffalo716 2 Quote
90sBills Posted April 4 Posted April 4 We wouldn’t have been bothered by Diggs’ cryptic tweets because we’d be occupied with Rex’s weird feet tweets. Quote
Fleezoid Posted April 4 Posted April 4 The first time Rex would have seen Josh run over a defender, he would have said, "See there, now that's a bully!" Quote
Buffalo716 Posted April 4 Posted April 4 (edited) @SoTier You literally have that much blind hatred for his stint in buffalo that you disagree that at one point he was one of the best defensive minds in the world? There is not one person in NFL circles who would say late 90s early 2000 rex Ryan was not a top defensive mind He was ahead of the game and his system and the numbers they put up show it His time in Buffalo has nothing to do about how good he was when his head was in the game in his early days He wasn't a good head coach in Buffalo...... But he was a tremendously good football coach at one point in his life His Oklahoma Sooners defense was very good before he went to Baltimore .. the Sooners were terrible his only year there.. and he inherited a defense that gave up 30 points a game and was one of the worst in the country... His 1 year his defense kept Oklahoma in games... And was the best part of the team He definitely started getting full of himself in New York City and that is when he was done He obviously was a joke in Buffalo @GunnerBill He certainly did not suck his way up the coaching ranks he's always maxed out talent before he stopped caring Edited April 5 by Buffalo716 1 Quote
