I don't blame Mario. I would want out too. Yea he took the money to sign with a dysfunctional franchise, but he saw a turn around coming this year with a really good d and a " genious" defensive mind coming aboard. Rex screwed the best part of the team and by golly he's sticking with a philosophy not suited for the line or lbs who got nothing but praise on this board "let's lock up Nigel" was a common theme here. I don't think he sees things getting better even next year.

What's this build around Mario and Kyle stuff? The d is already built. Rex even saw all the talent on this d. Why do you think he bragged of being #1? He did a TERRIBLE, TERRIBLE job with this defense. Kyle has 2-3 good years left if healthy and Mario is still a baller when motivated. Again, even if Kyle isn't healthy, we still have a good d as is. If you still want Ryan, cool. But he has a d that didn't/ doesn't need rebuilding. It's all there for him and he screwed it up. Most good to great offenses or defenses have 3-4 years to play together, Rex just wasted 1 of those years. As for who will coach it? Thought this clown was a defensive genious?

I'm with you on that. Her stuff must be really good for him to put up with this.

They're a team with a better record, a better d, a better special teams,a better coach. Maybe our offense is comparable, but the Jets are the better team. Way better. They are going to steam roll us.

The Jets are gonna smoke us next week. How ironic.

Nice block #64 and $15!

It took for us to be out of the playoffs for Rex to grow a set. Glad we went on 4th. Now the d will get driven on again. No heart. Rex stole it.

Dareus dropping into coverage again and the Cowboys completed a long one on the play.

To anyone at the game; what's the mood like? What are fans feeling?

If that was all we needed,no. But we need way more than that. Watch a rebuild of the d start this off season. I'll call it blowing it up.

Rex is a clown.

What would you call it if we have to rebuild the defence to match Rex' scheme? Hint: BLOWING IT UP. I'd rather let Rex go and find a coach who, oh I don't know, coaches maybe. You get 2-3 maybe 4 years to keep a good group together and we wasted 1 already. If he stays we will rebuild/blow it up and probably won't be as good as what we have now, or had.

The defense should be ready to go from the 1st snap. They should be out there trying yo prove they are as good as they think. Hopefully it's a clean game by a focused Bills team. Can the coaching put them in the position to do it? Bills 28 Boys 17

It's gonna be pretty interesting to see how the d will play this weekend. I would imagine they would be pumped and ready to try to prove themselves a good d. Hope the coaching puts them in position. Man up guys! Bills 28 boys 17

Pegula is smarter than that, right?

This would be the main reason to keep him. Lord know we need leaders in that locker room.

Sure he's complained about the scheme and lack of cohesion. Also, being this late in the season, lining up so late and subbing so late on d is ridiculous, as he mentioned. But in reading different articles, it seems the LB's are complaining about the same thing. Preston Brown wears the headphones to get the calls and he said the same thing. Too late in the year for late calls and players not knowing what is going on. Even slow tempo teams are speeding up on them because it creates confusion to a poorly coached defense. In addition to Brown, we have db's flat out denying claims from Rex that they lack confidence. I've read comments from Kyle saying just let us go and we play well(can't find the article), not to mention Marcel commenting on similar issues with late subs. So, all 3 levels of the d have had comments on this and Mario is the whipping boy!? I don't care if he gets cut or not. We could use the $ elsewhere since we're rebuilding this defense(that's a whole other issue), but for this d to be this confused this late in the season and players running onto the field just before the snap is bush league and this coaching staff is responsible.

If the Bills had the top 5 d they should be, they would have at least 3 more wins, even with injuries. That's on Rex, not TT. JMO

and a lot of "smart" football people who use it as a crutch.

Every team deals with injuries. The Pats are on like their 10th left tackle, 8th rb , 9th wr, etc. I could go on with the Steelers and other teams. They don't have a clown as a coach. I would add the last two-thirds of the season were still on this clown of a coach.

The real reason the defense has struggled:

To all: be safe and enjoy your family and friends.

Hope he looked in the mirror first. He's really good, but he's a winey B word. I've seen him give less than full effort on more than 1 occasion.

I sense a pattern here.

Ugh, I saw that too. But wanted to leave it alone.
