My pal Bill? Lol, we won't even hit 8-8 this year. Highest record in 10 years with worse talent. Sounds like the best coach to me.

Actually, I wasn't.

Good riddance to the best coach in a decade? Okay

I think you misunderstood. I'm the one defending the hypothetical coaching staff.

Maybe. Luckily, when you defend the hypothetical coaching staff, you can just pretend that they definitely would've retained him.

That's true. I took it to mean if it was up to me.

Marrone for starters.

Absolutely agreed.

Huh?

But he was on the Pats until he got in that accident, no?

SO change my opinion on Rex's coaching ability because why? You still haven't answered, beyond the fact that he's here next year. That's ridiculous. Also on the "Oracle" comment, I made my prediction. I have no idea what will happen, only what I think will. No doubt many like yourself will be shocked, heartbroken, and write up tearful "I AM SO DONE WITH THIS TEAM" nonsense instead. That's fine too. The majority of the defense will not be familiar with the scheme, IMO. We will be replacing half of them. Roster movement of middling starters? No. Roster movement of cornerstones and stars? Yes, it can be just as detrimental.

No, I'm serious. If you honestly think he was that important, it wouldn't have been hard to keep him on board. Firmly agree on Rex. Keeping Mario around makes him look even more like a buffoon.

But we won't have continuity with half of our defensive personnel. They won't have any chemistry, because half of them will be new. They will also be learning a new system. I'll give you personnel. I see us at 8-8 and the boo-birds flying out early and often in December.

He said team. I took that as results.

It's an insult the Pegula gods to insinuate first time owners are inexperienced in their first few years of ownership. Burn the heretics. The Waterfront!

You asked who plays middle. How about the cornerstone defensive player who isn't on a team, yet is very integral to our success?

You know what I always thought was really stupid? Changing your opinions at the drop of a hat. Why should I "love" Rex now, when I thought he was a hack 6 weeks ago? Because he's staying for one more year? Talk about moronic.

I see this team's season again ending in early December. I see a defense with a modicum of improvement, but not even close to what it should've been. I see a lot of excuses about rookie guys, and team chemistry. I see a locker room that has already proven to quit on RR quitting on him again. And I see us having to blow up the whole thing yet again, this time with 6-7 new players who we acquired for RR's system who won't fit in our new coach's system. Pretty fun stuff. Feel the rush.

This is the worst case scenario. The tracks end in 2016, with an even more spectacular derailment.

Bucky is right, and per usual, the same fans who get shocked by the electric cheese year after year attack him.

Sign Spikes to a vet minimum for his 30% of snaps.

Did NE2 look more like Schwartz D or Rex's Jets of old? That was a Rex Ryan defense through and through. Why we haven't seen something that looks like that since, I'll never know. With a comment like this, I'll never know how you can have such strong convictions regarding RR "getting it fixed." This is a major major red flag.

I'll take it!

It actually is really sad. This defense took 6 years to build and it gets blown up in one year.

I just find it funny that the biggest knock against Marrone (everyone on the offense regressed) doesn't apply to Rex (everyone on the defense regressed). I'd be willing to meet you half way and say both are subpar. I have some opinions on what would've happened in year 3 if DM stayed, mainly that most of the stuff that happened this offseason would've still happened AND we would still have a good to great defense, which may have backed us into the postseason. But it is unlikely that DM would've been an SB winning HC. He had some questionable ideas on offense, but I wonder if that had anything to do with the horror show at QB.
