Beef Jerky

Teams don't have to honor it... After your guaranteed money you can be let go and receive no other money.

Once you make the playoffs all bets are off. So make the playoffs first then one game at a time.

Actually it is, with a QB you don't need as many pieces... Without you need every piece you can think of.

Nothing better then watching the Browns do dumb things. I hope they fail at everything they do.

That is a lie people would be concerned... Do you see people are freaking concerned about the defense hahaha. This is the first time Rex has been able to hire his guy. I will tell you this right now Wilson is not a product of Bevell trust me.

Greg Roman is OC and Whaley will probably bring in some O-Line. No different then is an offensive HC came in... How come you left out two AFC Championships?

This doesn't look like a step back from Marrone.

So you are afraid that Whaley won't supply adequate prospects for Rex? I think Whaley probably is happy about the Rex hire and they will work well together. I don't see him letting all of Rex's defensive players go like the Jets GM's. Also missing on 13+ draft picks in the draft last year... Thank to Sir Idzik.

Rex finally got to pick his OC.

That would need a Greg Roman thread.

Actually Rex runs his own D which is lightyears better then Pettine. Crazy b.c Pettine was under Rex but he doesn't run it as well.

We all know Rex's defenses are great. How great? Here are some numbers. The following are from pro-football-reference.com, and take into account the years 2005-2014, the years that Rex was either a defensive coordinator or head coach. Between 2005 and 2012, Rex Ryan's defenses never ranked lower than 6th overall. Eight straight years, 6th or better. In 10 seasons, Rex's defenses have never ranked worse than 11th in total yards allowed. In 6 out of 10 seasons, Rex's defenses have been 5th or better in yards allowed, including two 1st place finishes. In 5 out of 10 seasons, Rex's defenses have been 10th or better in total points allowed. They were 1st twice and 3rd once. In 8 out of 10 seasons, Rex's defenses were ranked 9th or better in rushing yards allowed. They were 3rd or better 5 times. In 9 out of 10 seasons, Rex's defenses were ranked 8th or better in average yards per rush allowed. They were 1st twice. In 8 out of 10 seasons, Rex's defenses were ranked 11th or better in rushing TDs allowed They were 1st twice and 3rd once. All of that seems pretty impressive, but "What about pass defense?", you say. In 7 out of 10 seasons, Rex's defenses were ranked 8th or better in passing yards allowed. They were 1st once and 2nd twice. In 7 out of 10 seasons, Rex's defenses were ranked 9th or better in avg yards/pass allowed. They ranked 1st and 2nd once each. In 6 out of 10 seasons, Rex's defenses were ranked 10th or better in passing TDs allowed. They were 1st and 2nd once each. What does all of this mean? Rex Ryan's defenses are consistently good or great. His defenses consistently stop the run, allow low rushing-yards-per-average, and give up few rushing TDs. They also consistently stop the pass effectively. I must repeat the following: For 8 straight seasons, Rex's defense were never worse than 6th overall. Thats extremely impressive. One more bonus Rex Ryan number for you. It doesn't have anything to do with defense, but I like it anyway: Rex Ryan has been a head coach in 6 playoff games, all on the road. He is 4-2 in those games. Winning record in the playoffs. ON THE ROAD. Aren't numbers fun? Go Bills!

I wrote to Santa Clause every year... Bastard still hasn't written back.

Just makes you laugh to see it happening right before tour eyes.

Rex actually seems to love Spikes attitude and toughness. http://m.buffalobills.com/s/30841/367?itemPos=3&itemUri=1439349777%2F98714116141215159051090151342

Espn and company that you agree with also said Marrone would be a great hire... Then he runs away with a sack of money. So which ESPN do you feel like listening to. Look for yourself, Rex took a team with less talent then the Bills to the AFC championship game twice... He already has a top 5 defense to start with, he will probably have them #1 next year. He finally got to pick his OC Greg Roman who both love to run the ball. He will get the best out of the players he has, Whaley will keep pumping in talent and hopefully sign those that need to be kept. I see nothing but good things when you look at this HC's entire past.

Stamps!?!?!

Pettine defense is not as good as a Rex Ryan defense. They do not have the same play calls during the game. Rex is much better at it and putting his guys in positions to succeed. If you for a second thing they are the exact same b.c Pettine was under Rex then you have no idea.

when Pettine was the play caller for I think 2 years. Heh then Rex took over in 2013 and well they looked pretty good.

Exactly now the fans can stop getting scared if the DC will leave.

Well he finally gets to pick his OC so maybe that will help. An Offensive HC would have the same problems and I don't want a trial and error OC first time HC.

So Whaley will fail to bring in talent is what you're saying?

Funny people went doom and gloom over Pettine. This is just another upgrade. You act like they fired Marrone heh get your facts straight. Rex will make this a better defense then Schwartz.

18. Marrone takes Flutie Curse with him as he leaves.

Go who ever scores more points!
