  1. Well I guess he toned it down from superbowl
  2. Wouldn't it be interesting if Schwartz went to the Jets, with Gailey as the OC as well.
  3. Well OK. But only until halfway through the next season. If the Bills aren't well above .500 at that point it's back on like a MoFo!
  4. Which FredEx opinion? That one or this one: Bottom line, he is a player on the Bills team who is a leader and wants to stay on the Bills. Wouldn't be surprised if he really believed each statement, but what you hear from any current employee of the Bills will be more or less the same thing.
  5. Maybe. But maybe as some suggest he REALLY wanted to coach and was afraid he wouldn't end up with a place to land after Atlanta and SF were dragging their heels. Is there any way he can know for certain the Bills will get a good QB? Is there a glut of them available? Will one be there in the 2nd round of this draft (or even the 1st) ? Rex will do the best he can with what he is given. Hopefully it turns out better than it did with the Jets.
  6. Well, even if the Bills were his 3rd choice, that doesn't mean he won't give his full effort to turn the team around. Whether he can, or will the Bills be the Jets part 2 as some suggest, remains to be seen. But with Rex at least it won't be boring.
  7. What just happened is exactly why coordinators should be allowed to leave. Ryan, a defense specialist by nature, becomes the HC of the Bills. Would you really want to force Schwartz to be Rex's lap dog? What happened makes more sense, Schwartz leaves and Rex hires his lap dog from the Jets.
  8. He is the Bills coach. Therefore he gets the support, even from those who thought he sucked when the Bills beat him and his Jets defense twice not long ago. We will see how it plays out.
  9. So Rex runs the defense as he did in NY with assistance from Thurman. This is not a shock. i guess now we will get to see first hand how much of a defensive genius ole Sexy Rexy is. He certainly has been handed all the talent on that side of the ball he could ever ask for.
  10. Wouldn't be a shocker if true.
  11. My daughter wrote a letter to Shaq a year or so ago. She got a 5x7 photo, robo-autographed by Shaq, but signed by Shaq's Dad with a very nice note. It means an awful lot to a kid.
  12. He cites no sources that i can see, and that seems to be strictly a opinion piece, which is probably why it was in the blog section in the first place. But fact versus opinion aside, his writing style seems at least as good as others that I have seen.
  13. I am basing my opinion on the last 15 years of ineptitude of the Bills on the field and being able to keep ticket sales at a very reasonable level. Granted Bills fans are an easy sell and are looking for reasons to Billieve, but at the end of the day sales are still good.
  14. Grass is always greener, particular after a perceived bad season. A lot of people liked and defended Marrone/Gailey etc. publicly when they held the position, not so much when they were gone. People tend to be fans of the team and whoever is employed by the team at any given time and love to blame current problems on those that have left.
  15. Good businessman, not so good football man. My opinion anyway.
  16. That article was from a blog but fair enough. "Somehow, it got all twisted up in the minds of 49ers fans–and, apparently, 49ers executives and even a player or two–that Greg Roman was forcing the 49ers offense to do things it was not exactly suited to do." So 49ers execs and a player or two are wrong and a sports reporter is right? Could be I suppose, I don't know this guy . but ...
  17. Their first and last initials are the same?
  18. Hmmmmm. "Even right tackle Anthony Davis bizarrely assumed all that and was angry at Roman for screwing up the 49ers’ offensive focus." So do we believe a blogger, or someone actually on the offense?
  19. #1 - Apparently no 2nd interviews except the Bills. Other teams wanting to evaluate other options. #3 - Polian apparently said no thanks after Marrone and Orton left. It was not a case of Pegula saying no to Polian. #4 - Pegula has not minded spending money on the Sabres either so money does not seem to be a issue with him. How that translates to wins remains to be seen with the Bills. But my main reason for commenting was the Twitter reference. Maybe I'm just old, but I cannot see how "trending on Twitter" is a measure of any relevance other than a fleeting social media one. As soon as the Jets hire one, he will be trending on Twitter as well I suspect.
  20. If nothing else, it should be a fun ride! "Rex Ryan’s incredible run as the Jets’ leading man ended in spectacular, Chernobyl-level disaster. But does anyone doubt he’ll be back — bigger than ever?" http://grantland.com/features/rexs-last-stand/
  21. Will be interesting to see how/if the new HC and OC try and revive Spiiler as well.
  22. Neutral. I consider him an upgrade to Marrone both in game and for making halftime adjustments as well as the PR pluses. But he is a below .500 coach so far and very defensive minded, and the Bills currently have Schwartz for that. Could be great, or a bust, or more likely somewhere in between. Time will tell.
  23. Well yeah. And the Bills just hired the loser of those games But it is obviously sour grapes on the reporters part.
  24. The knock, whether you subscribe to it or not is up to you, is that the Bills are what he had at the Jets. Stronger defense than offense. And his fault or not, it didn't work out well there.
  25. As always since we were not present for the meetings. But since it happened before a lot of candidates were available it does seem logical. Doesn't mean it's a bad hire, could actually mean the Bills were smart and got the man they wanted before anyone else made a move.
