This. Even on just the eye test, this is not the same defense by a long shot compared to last year. If the players on the field are saying it's tough to argue.

I'm so sick of all this crap we are hearing about how complex the system is and how it takes a full year to learn it. I get the concept, but that's just the tip of the iceberg. First off, like with new qbs, you don't just throw the whole playbook at them at once. This allows the player to learn and get more comfortable with it. Why is this any different? If the players aren't getting it, scale it back until they do. Seriously, after 3/4's of a season, now you get it? Then there's the second patriots game where we confused and hit the ever loving **** out of Brady. What, we magically figured it out? We haven't seen that scheme since. Did Rex dumb it down and then go right back to his complex playbook. Did the players just check back out? Either way, we saw proof of what the defense could do for that one game so we knows what's possible. This only leaves me with the conclusion that Rex didn't put his team in the best position to win via scheme.

And I thought I had the market on terrible posts. Seriously dude, step away from the keyboard. You're past 48 hours of posts have been terrifying.

Bills will blow them out. It's what they do to give people false hope for next year and make this year feel like more of a waste. Oh yeah, who cares?

I'm not saying he won games, I'm saying he showed he was capable of making those throws. Which was your argument

Damn

Sold water to a group of people extremely thirsty

Then you clearly didn't watch the preseason or the season opener. That's all he did. And yet everyone was complaining about not getting the ball to Sammy. Now, it's deep shot central. Need to find a healthy balance

If you could say one things to anyone in the Bills organization, player, coach, or owner, what would it be? And yes, feel free to have some huge imaginary balls and get something off your chest. I'm going with Rex Ryan - You took us from top 3 to bottom 3 in Sacks. We are top 3 in most penalties. We missed the playoffs for the 16th straight year. Why do you deserve to be the coach of the Buffalo Bills next year and what would it take to make you quit after next year?

So, you're logic is based upon any qb that doesn't get us to the playoffs is bad?

Yes, and it falls on the people who hold them accountable. I've worked in many a jobs and the most disorganized places have the least disciplined leadership. I understand that it's the players making the mistakes. But it's because they either get caught up in emotion, lack or respect for the result, or have no fear or retribution. That all comes from the coaching.

Sorry, that's crap to me. When the team commits 15 penalties and is top 3 in the league for them, who do you blame? By comparison, who are the least penalized teams and why. There's a reason it's happening and it's happening consistently.

Whether you believe he is our Franchise guy or not, he is good enough to win games for us and doesn't make drafting a QB in the first round every year a priority. I think I've seen progression from him most weeks. His decisions to throw deep and not run today on 3rd down was off to me, but it wasn't the terrible crap we've dealt with in years past. Speaking of which, I completely believe he's the best QB we've had since Kelly. In any case, whether you love him or can put up with him, I'm just tired of seeing the fighting over how good he is. He's good enough. Agree?

The sack number makes me want to vomit. I just can't comprehend it. Here, let me take one of the greatest in the NFL and change it. !@#$ you Rex. !@#$ you rotten

Pry the most I've read you to be upset in a while. Can't blame you. We deserve better

Penalties = Lack of Discipline. Lack of Discipline comes from coaching. Coaching is the problem and we are stuck with it. Worst part is, he's shown this is who he is. He's not getting better.

Man, you're setting the bar really high there. Marrone outcoached the hell out of Rex last season....twice

!@#$ Rex.....that is all

Can only change it once every 180 days. Took this one when Freddie got hosed

How are you possibly looking forward to next season? What massive talent gap are you seeing defense that makes you believe it can be upgraded? What possibly makes you think that the penalty situation with magically better? And the biggest...what the !@#$ do you see to make you think Rex will figure out how to coach and lead a team. You're whole premise is based upon needing to beef up the LB's and fixing the offense, which is our bright spot. Everything else is coaching and these guys just got signed. No one is going anywhere on that staff. This is our team. This is who we are next year too. Get used to it

It's not. I just never would have imagined we'd already be at the 7 loss mark with 3 games left to play Btw, I can't wait until I can change my screenname to FireRex

Here's your intel...Bills are done. Close this thread

I really want to know if those deep shots were pre-planned or Tyrod's option. I know that we do this from time to time and I get it. But today just seemed excessive. They were prepared for it so it gets to the point where you have to tip your hat to them and move on. In a few cases, Tyrod had the space to run for the 1st and put us in FG range. Just seemed odd to me and I wonder how much of it was because that was the called play and they just failed to execute.

Best we can finish is 9-7. When I think about the Defense we had last year, the upgrades on offense, just the overall hype going into the season....How is this season anything less than a colossal failure? This game (Eagles) summed up the entire season for me. The only thing surprising to me was the amount of deep passes on 3rd down. (I really wonder if that was Tyrod or the playcalling) But we just were not a prepared team out there. We were back to our penalties. The pass rush was mediocre at best. And we leave the field a loser against a very beatable team. Oh yeah, and another game where "emotion" was high and we couldn't transfer it into a win. Honestly, I'm just sick of all of it. I have no reason to believe that next year will be any better because I genuinely believe this is a coaching issue. This is a game played with emotion and how that emotion is channeled falls on the coach. We saw what this defense is capable of last year and with our 2nd game against NE. Yet we continue to run schemes that neuter our rushers. Rex owns this team. He owns the result. There is no evidence whatsoever to indicate he is capable of getting this team ready to play when they need to. At least not in the duration to win critical games or WIN MORE THAN 2 !@#$ING GAMES IN A ROW!?!?! There is absolutely no doubt in my mind that if all we did was bring in Greg Roman, keep last years staff (I know that Marrone quit), we would be in control of the wildcard right now. Instead, I guess we are looking forward to the draft and another year of Rex's loud mouth expunging hot air. !@#$ you Rex and Good night

Fantastic. This is a Typical Bills game. Just a beautiful reflection of our team.
