not

my post was not about whether Rex is honest or funny. It's about whether he is competent and he is not. As far as us being a laughingstock, do you talk to anyone outside of Buffalo? I do - plenty - and the consensus is we got fleeced by a huckster. Are you comfortable with his game day decision making and competence? I think that should be the threshold for Rex's ability as HC.

haha Sierra now that's funny; you do know that's a woman's name?

it will end when we get a competent HC and coaching staff. It begins & ends with leadership, attention to detail, discipline, and, above all, managing a game effectively, putting his players in positions to succeed, and making the right in-game & halftime adjustments. until then, the circus continues and no playoffs for us. It's that simple. The $9m question is whether TPegs has the stones to eat the remaining $20m on Rex's contract. Sadly, we remain a laughingstock with our comedian in charge.

HOORAY - maybe they will lecture us about global warming or the dangers of capitalism

I think Bill is a friend of "Watkin"; they both "possess" something according to the OP which I just can't figure out. Seriously OP, when did Watkins acquire an apostrophe to his last name? gees

OP = spelling wizard. "Protocal69" is one sweet handle ..... That totally explains it - now I can carry on with my day

not wholly accurate; the bottom 10% of graded officials are dumped every year. Does not explain the crappy officiating everywhere.

Methinks Enlightener needs a translation from your Shakespearean allegory

see what sniffing glue can do to one's brain cells ?

would love to see this sit down happen; if I only I could be a fly on the wall. The ROI TPegs is getting on his HC @ $5m/yr is very unsatisfactory

I watched it multiple times and I'm calling BS on you Dave ~

did you not see the 2 TDs he caught with 2 guys on him for both ?

by giving some gobbledeygook answers about what went wrong today; talking about some schemes in Coach-babble while heaping praise on the Chiefs for "making a few more plays than we did". And his answers for challenging or not challenging certain plays were laughable. I was driving home from Florida to GA today during the game and was able to sneak in some peeks on my phone. My main takeaways from this team, this year, are as follows: complete underachievement of the talent on this roster, due in part to the neutering of the D by Rex's imposition of his vision (square peg/round hole) - then an admission around week 10 that he did it incorrectly. Great game plan against Brady, then the Bills can't lay a hand on Alex Smith. The players like Rex b/c he creates a warm familial feeling, but holds no one to account and refuses to call anyone out publicly, except the kicker. Yeah, that works Rex. Complete lack of discipline and self-control which leads to way too many penalties esp. at the worst times. This lack of discipline invites mistakes and permeates itself from the top down. There is a reason why the best teams find ways to win & the worst ones find ways to lose, like today. Case in point on the dropped INTs and potential pick 6's. It dawned on me today with one word: PROFESSIONALISM. There is something critical missing with this team. This team has talent but is not professional in conducting its business, and is not put in positions to maximize its skill sets. This is directly on Rex and his staff; i.e., calling a sweep around left end for Cement Shoes Boobie? Even Rich Gannon sniffed that one out quickly. Not getting the ball to Sammy in 2H was criminal; Roman had a hot hand with Sammy and lost it. He could have used a myriad of means to get him the ball: bubble screens, quick slants/outs, etc. It's a stark indictment when Gannon calls out the Bills for not having 20 scripted plays for Sammy. As I mentioned in another thread, sorry to sound like a Debbie Downer, but color me unimpressed that the Steelers lost. How pathetic that we have to hope/pray on others' outcomes so the Bills can maybe, just possibly, backdoor into to the last WC spot. And all the talk of how "easy" the Bills remaining schedule is; seriously? If nothing else, this team and its consistent underachievement should not give anyone pause for assuming anything. How far we have fallen that we used to win our division in the 90s and now we have to just have to settle for a sniff of the second WC, which seems like a complete longshot after giveaways like today's.

thank you fredex22; I hate to be so critical of the team I love, but these things are painfully obvious. I'm almost tempted to write an open letter to the Pegulas with a cc: to Brandon

thanks for letting us know your plans, Nostradamus

^ This Allan in MD made one of my points for me. All you had to do was listen to Rex blather on in his post-game presser today; speaking very opaqualry

that's a pretty strong opinion; how can you suggest this without a shred of any tangible evidence ?

fixed

any qualification on that ?

FIXED....))

actually a very smart opinion to the post you responded to. I have already come up with a final assessment of this team & coaching staff before this season is over. #1 takeaway is this coaching staff has not properly utilized the talents & skill sets of players on both sides of the ball, leading to the Bills as a contender for the most underachieving team in the NFL. A close second would be undisciplined, far too penalized, and WAY too many 3 and outs.

I wasn't trying to be glib, although I wasn't very graceful with my question
