Sure, Rex is a failed coach, and what he said was for entertainment value.
However, I said on another post that it was McDermott,s job to make it work with Dareus.
He was a problem on and off the field. If you remember Lawrence Taylor, he was a pain in the neck
and drove his Coach crazy, and there were different rules for him, but the Giants Coach made it
work because of Taylor's talent. Dareus was needed this year, and he was given away, given away,
for a future 6th rounder. That was insane. Beane and McDermott got rid of a headache to make
their job easier, saving a few million on the cap , and for a future 6th rounder. How does that
make sense, losing talent, if it costs the playoffs this year.

I've yet to see a QB Belicheat took to replace Brady ever do a lot when he went elsewhere.
-
Regarding the OP: anyone posting that the team should be moved should be permanently banned. Such people have no business in a Buffalo Bills chat site

If I saw a guy I thought was a can't miss guy I'd make the trade. I'd give a couple firsts and seconds. But I don't see anyone that remotely resembles that kind of a sure thing in this draft.

Both lines. Win up frnt you win the game.
-
The team and HC understand what they're about and how bad last night was. I anticipate a much better performance at home.

Saints aren't the Raiders, Bucs, Broncos or Jets and superior to us on both sides of the ball.
And we obviously aren't going 8-0 at home so all the ingredients are in place for the annual November/December meltdown to continue with this team.
Bills will need to bounce back strong and play best game of the season just for a chance to win this game next week.
The consensus among many here is that you're not worth responding to but just to pass time before my students arrive:
You know for a fact they won't go 8-0? You can predict the future now? Why aren't you on your own private island after having mastered the stock market?
As I recall you gave them no chance against Oakland or Atlanta. In fact have you ever favored them in any game?
You come up with such ridiculous stuff, including the supposed contacts you have that do not exist.
Play the games. See what happens. My guess is they get back to normal against the Saints.

Sometimes you just get your butt kicked. Yesterday was one of those times.

If the 93 is shot at Augusta, you know you're not ready for the big events just yet. You froze, got nervous.
If it's at some tinpot tour event, maybe doubts creep in your mind about talent. Consistency.
Interesting take.

Let's say you're a pro golfer and those are the last 8 scores you shoot. We can see there's a couple that were a little higher (77,76) and most that average out around 70. Then you have this 93, a really bad round.
Which of these rounds do you think predict the normal performance of this golfer, and which do not? It's the first seven rounds and not the one outlier. If you're a golfer you shrug it off and know you won't repeat that anytime soon.
Last night's game was the Bills' 93 round. They just stunk. For a lot of reasons, but they stunk. But like the pro golferit seems reasonable to conclude that they won't stink up the joint like that again. Maybe have trouble against a more elite team like the Chiefs, but I doubt they shoot a 93 again. Maybe slide into the higher 70 round like they did against Cinci. They'll get back home, lick their wounds, get back to work, and I am sure that McD will stress again the fundamentals (like tackling, which was missing last night.
So the odds would favor the Bills getting back to shooting around 70. But so many this morning now just assume they'll continue to shoot 93. Why I have no idea. Comparisons are made to past teams with past coaches and past rosters as if thathas any bearing on the current coaches and current team and current roster. All of a sudden everyone of the team stinks, because of one game vs. seven. I don't know if it's trolls hijacking a Bills website, some kind of psychological defense mechanism, or what. We'll see how things go from here out. But my guess is a week from Sunday they'll shot around a 68 on their home course.

Jets aren't running for almost 200 yards if Dareus is still here was my point.
I'm interested to see if that gets fixed going forward or teams run on our scrub front 7 the rest of the year in which case McBeane deserve to be heavily criticized for the trade.
Depends. If he showed up and actually wanted to put forth effort and play maybe not. If he showed up and didn't give effort they might go for 300.
-
He was good in every game. People don't understand, if you have to double Marcell it makes the other defensive linemen more effective. If you can man black our defensive line you can get an offensive linemen into the second level.
If you think he was good every game you're simply using wishful retrograde thinking. He wasn't.

50% O line
35% D line
15% OC and DC
Lose the battle in the trenches you lose the game. Got whipped physically all night long on both sides of the ball. Coaches could have helped somewhat by quicker pass patterns and/or some blitzes, getting 8 guys in the box. But as long as football has existed it comes down to beating the guy in front of you, and the Jets were just simply better last night.
-
Contextually speaking, getting smoked by the Jets is worse than getting smoked by Baltimore.
Also contextually speaking, this isn't the first time we've seen something like this happen...is it?
Why? There is no reason to say this other than to pile on.
-
I'm glad you posted this, because given your track record it means the Bills will shut down Brees and do just fine next week.
Why do you take delight in bashing a team you supposedly support?
-
I forgot to add that this team is Missing Dareus when it comes to stopping the run
Right. The unmotivated tub of goo would have been the one player on the field last night that would have elevated his game and everyone else's.

Our 4 home games are vs the Saints, Pats, Colts and Dolphins. I would love to share your optimism but after watching last night's debacle, I'm not ready to declare all 4 of those home games victories. Honestly speaking, the ONLY one right now I would chalk up as a guaranteed W is the Colts. The Saints offense is starting to run on all 4 cylinders, the Pats are the Pats, and we can only hope the Dolphins without Ajayi will pose less of a threat than last year.
I'm sorry but last night's loss has me feelin pretty down about the rest of the season. It never seems to fail with this team, McDermott now included. The Bills play well, string together some impressive victories, win some games they shouldn't, and people start buying in. National media even starts giving the Bills props, [insert coach name here] starts getting chatter for early Coach of the Year, then comes the talk of "hey these Bills are different". Up comes the ONE primetime game on their schedule, where the Bills have the chance to show the world they are for real, and what do they do? Come out and sh*t the bed, in the absolute worst way, leaving everyone saying the three words I hate hearing, but have no argument against, "same old Bills". This loss hurts.
Till last night they were 5-2, right? And in the two losses one more caught pass here or there and they win those. Last night was bad, the entire team from coaching staff to players had a bad day.
So you would take one bad game as the norm, vs. 7 games where they either won or were right there at the end? Why?
-
It should not be an excuse for last night. They simply got physically outplayed up front. But as for the concept of Thursday night games, I heard on Mike and Mike this morning that one of the reasons viewership might be down is that there are relatively few games on many Sundays. Sundays for years was football day. Now with byes, the addition of Thursday and Sunday nights games, there are times on Sundays there are only a couple games to watch at 4:00. So if the owners think there's validity to that they may rethink things.
From the players' perspective, I think they all hate the Thursday night games, and I would be shocked if in the next CBA negotiation they stand strong for getting rid of them.
They'll never do Friday as it competes with high school ball, and same on Saturdays for colleges.
It was a greed move originally by owners to increase revenue, but these Thursday night games may wind up biting them in the butt.

I would hope Ducasse is replaced. He got steamrolled last night.
-
Ik the Jets arent bad, but a playoff team doesnt lose that game. It was pathetic. Couldnt get a thing going. Mediocrity is one thing I am sick of!!! Grinds my gears lol
Playoffs teams lose games like this all the time. The Steelers got clobbered by the Bears as an example.
Terrible performance last night. But McD has changed the mindset at 1 Bills Drive. Look for them to come out firing next weekend.
-
Relax after losing to a sh***y Jets team?! A great team has no chill. Remember how many times the Pats* ran the score up on us?!? Petal to the metal. This loss was disgusting. We had a chance to take 1st tonight and flopped. Same ol Bills. F this ish. Still will contusion to punish myself though lol
Jets aren't as bad as many thought. They just flat out took it to the Bills last night. Credit to them - sometimes the other guy is just better on a given day.
Get back home, get back to good fundamentals. Bills will be OK.
-
They'll defend their own dirt. Gets them 4 more wins. And beat the Fish in Miami.
The process took a bit of a hit last night, but if the process works they'll come out and take down the Saints next week.
-
They may be.. but not really an excuse for the poor execution.

I don't know if it's a defense mechanism. But it certainly seems like some can't wait for the team they claim to be fans of not do well

He tried. All his coaches have tried. At some point it's the player and not the coach. It's on Dareus.
