  1. I bet as cults go, we're in the Top Ten for Tailgating! Go Team!!!

    No gruel for this cult. But first, cash out your 401k and wire it to my offshore account. Then I'll send you a crapload of "literature" to read, including a transcript of the official Van Miller radio broadcast of "The Comeback" game.

    Right. Offense does matter. But in the end W/L is the only stat that matters. Do you guys think it is possible that a good portion of those Jets games were spent with the opposing team running out the clock? Was there any need to run up the score on his team whose defense sucked and offense sucked even more? Do you remember the Bills crushing them in Detroit? How did the defense look that night? In NY, the Jets offense certainly was a problem vs. the Bills. They put the game away early thanks to Geno and then we sleep walked through the rest. If we needed them maybe Sammy could get a few more 70+ yard plays, but we didn't need them.

     

    If we're going to strictly talk defensive numbers then Rex took our #4 defense, made fun of that ranking and by extension Schwartz, by saying with our personnel only #1 was acceptable. He only ended up off by 18 spots. He didn't listen to his players, his defense was too hard to understand, the play calls did not get in on time and we got burned over and over by guys who we would have stopped in 2014. He has shown nothing to indicate he will turn this around, rather he is doubling down on his failed system.

     

    IMO 2015 was substantial. I'm not sure why you think it wasn't. I also think Rex asking for a stupid 3 west coast trips instead of 2 because he does not want his team in "vacation mode" is very telling. Is he so utterly incapable of keeping his team focused for a week that he even admits it out loud? Isn't it his job to keep his team out of vacation mode?

     

    This is a prediction thread. I gave a prediction and my thoughts behind it. If you want to think Rex will fix the defense and we'll go 16-0 then great. We can all go into vacation mode then. How about something substantial to back it up?

    You're not predicting, you'd crusading, why not give it a rest?

     

    Me, see it as follows:

    Baltimore W

    Jets W

    Cards L

    Pats W (TT comes out swinging after getting embarrassed by the Cards)

    Rams W

    Niners L (Letdown game)

    Fins W

    Pats L

    Seahawks L

    Bungles W (after bye week)

    Jags W

    Pitt (L, unless Big Ben is crippled)

    Browns W

    Fins W

    Jets W.

     

    10-6.

  3. 2-2 against the NFC west most likely. 2-4 intra division. We travel some big distances. Have some tough games

    I've usually the most positive for the record.

    No WAY is this team 2-4 intra division next year, are we getting swept by Fitzy's Jets? Common, man....

     

     

    To be fair that isn't true.

     

    I thought the team could compete for the playoffs going into last season....Before Rex !@#$ed it up.

    I remember that you had us at like 2 wins when we hit the 6 mark. Maybe I'm confusing you with someone else, but I don't think so.

  4. I think it is a reference to the Pro Bowl he just played in (Feb 2016) not a prediction for making it next season.

    You realize that he hired someone to create and manage this site, right? You don't think he's sitting at a computer with a bag of Dorito's creating this stuff? He's out throwing passes to Charles Clay.

    Tyrod marches to the beat of his own drummer. I always pictured him as more of a Funions kind of guy, or maybe Bugles. EJ is always about the Doritos but he keeps dropping them in the couch cushions, but he tries, dammit. Cassel, Lays all the way, and not even the wavy kind.

  5. The anti Hogan crew wanted to cut him and keep Glass Goodwin as recently as last August.

     

    So now Chris Hogan is earning good money from the team of the last 12 years and Glass is out of football? Sounds about right.

     

    It is a shame... there were flashes in his first year but since then nothing.

    We get it, you liked Hogan, but he's gone. Time to let the blood flow to the other parts of your body. Goodwin, who is a true deep threat during his rare healthy games, is still here.

  6. Shhhh, don't pee in the kool-aid! Nobody here wants to read the truth. All they want is unicorns and rainbows only to wonder what went wrong again this year in December.

    Nobody here? Seriously? This board is full of miserable doom and gloomers whining about their terrible coach, Wrecks Lyan, who "literally castrated" our modern day version 86 Bears of a 2014 defense(someone actually wrote that). There is absolutely no way the D could improve in a complex system by having a full off season to study it. NONE PERIOD. Oh no, we're ruined, we lost 2015 absolute worst investment in the NFL to the dolphins, DOOMED! The head coach hired his twin brother? Nepotism!, FAT NEPOTISM!!! Won't somebody think of the CHILDREN?!?!?!?! Seems like there's more strychnine than kool aid in the punch bowl these days.

  7. Everyone is mad at Rex and his 8-8 team. People forget things weren't supposed to go this way. Who knew our scumbag coach would opt out and essentially put us back into a somewhat rebuilding mode. We were a whole game better under Marrone with a bull **** win in NE to finish the season. Figure we would have won against jax this year if we had Tyrod under center, and the win/loss record is identical. Yet we cry as if we should be in the playoffs, something we haven't done in almost 2 decades. Which brings me to another point. Kyle orton retired...how many games did ppl think we were gonna win with EJ, or whichever bum they brought in to "compete." At least w Rex we might actually have a franchise qb. W rex we have some real coaches who want to be here, not giddy college coaches who are playing catch with Blake Bortles now. The O-line is shored up and we have an identity on offense. The defense wasn't the same, communication lacked, and players didn't seem to understand the scheme. Remove team leaders in Kyle Williams, and Aaron Williams, plus a cancerous bitchy winer crying "but our last scheme worked" in Mario Williams, and you have guys not buying in. Add a year of familiarality, the return of injured leaders (also good players), addition by subtraction with the departure of Mario, additional coaches who know the scheme inside and out. I love the Ed Reed signing, and hopefully a couple of key draft picks and I totally expect this defense to get better. If it doesn't...then we'll idk.

    Nice post, but even if they win this year there are many here who feel it will be in spite of the coaching. Some folks just don't like Rex as a coach, and they are about as vocal about it as you can be. Most of them care more about being right than the Bills winning.

  8.  

    Notice the word JUST.

     

    Drafting players that JUST fit Rex's system would be a disaster.

     

    So if Rex fails and is fired and we have to switch schemes, we aren't stuck with guys that aren't restricted to the previous regimes scheme.

     

    Signing cheap veteran guys that fit and understand what he wants is the more logical solution as opposed to drafting to fill needs in Rex's system when the guy could be on his way out the door in a year....Unfortunately we have little cap room to reconstruct a once very good defense that our coach couldn't work with.

    You would prefer Rex to not draft good fits so if we get a new coach, he can implement his own scheme instead of keeping the prior staff's scheme? What if we go all in on D and turn that side of the ball around to be a top 10 D again, but the offense regresses?
  9.  

    And there is nothing indicating any type of negotiations are taking place. Time is of the essence and cap space in July isn't as valuable as cap space now.

     

    Unless of course Whaley is following the tried and true method of John Idzik and banking cap space.

    Do you need a hug? It's ok to be happy when good things happen to your team, my friend. We saved money and retained a valuable leader. What's not to like?
