"But my Defense did a great job of holding Payton in-check. Sadly, Hackett's O couldn't score enough points to get the win"

:facepalmIN"

HA! Winter Is Coming. Can Brady please retire? Without that guy, they'd be in trouble. Someday that Pats will get whats coming to them...

This. Then this. /thread %in

I think everyone in BTV and across the action sports industry knows that I'm a die-hard Bills fan. When Rex was first hired I was getting a lot of "Rex?" "No waaay!" "Ha, Rex!". Over the last several days, that's changed. I've definitely gotten a lot of texts and emails from people that think it's good (and *smart*) hire. I even got a voice mail from a guy in RI, big Pats fan, that called to say that he heard Rex on the radio and he thinks Bills could have BIG year - if we figure out the QB. Spot on. Also, of Bills nation up here a couple are on board, a couple are not. I'm sure everyone will warm when the season starts to roll around...

Not that this has anything to do with the article, buuuuut - Jim Schwartz is the BEST example of TBD in action! Our D becomes killer under Pettine in '13, at end of season, everyone freaks out that he's leaving. Then everyone REALLY freaks out when they find Pettine is being replaced by Schwartz, with his ineffective Wide-9, Wannastache-esqe lack of blitzing, undisciplined teams and brash attitude. We were doomed! Then our D lights it up in '14. Now it's time for Schwartz to move on and everyone once again freaks, but now because we're losing Jim, rather than having him join the team! Good news kids, at least we're replacing Schwartz with one of the few dudes out there that actually has chops to maybe do even better. Maybe we save our freak outs for when things are actually bad?

And it goes beyond the locker room - Rex is going the have the entire organization and even town, billeving and pushing to "be great". By some accounts Marrone was a downer all around the org, Rex will bring a welcome new attitude... He wasn't my first choice, I hadn't even really considered Rex to be honest, but I wasn't against it. But now, after the hire, I'm really liking it - the guy passes the eye test of being an "NFL Head Coach" and has me drinking the kool-aid! Our team needs a leader to get them to the mountain top, Rex can lead. One other thing that's a little glossed over is that that Pegula's were looking were looking for a "football man", well Rex has been around the NFL his *entire life*, obviously a guy like that has a lot of contacts. Obviously. Bring on the off-season, I'm ready! (w/ Rex)

Rex is gonna be on Murph in a few minutes - wgr55.com Can't wait for more quotes

I'm shocked by the love for Popeye's - the few times I've eaten there it's been TERRIBLE. Doesn't Buffalo have at least ONE legit, non-chain fried chicken joints? Even David Chang is opening one in NYC... BTW, here's the next big thing in fried chicken: http://www.chocochicken.com/ Yup, Choco chicken.

Even Schopp and The Bulldog like Rex - Doooooomed! WGR does crank up the volume on the commercial spots - holy LOUD!

I personally disagree - this was about Rex, not Pegula and plans that were supposedly in the works before Marrone left. I get this is one of the few times they actually have face time with Terry, but start rocking the boat and it might be the LAST time you get face time with him. I guess the other problem for me personally is that, it didn't happen, so I don't really care now. Its done and over, on the next. But again, that's just me

Or about your potential deal for a football czar, or about the dumbest of Bills fans conspiracy theories, the analytics department and what they're up to. Hell, why not ask why the turf seems so slippery or the stadium was painted black outside, not white. Why didn't they ask what brand of beer everyone was drinking at the Big Tree last night!? Amateurs!

Lombardi1's opinion, or Freddy's? ‏@JeffRussoWKBW 56s57 seconds ago Fred Jackson "we feel like we got better at head coach. We are excited about it. Know he will come in and push us" #Bills

This is by far the most relevant and delicious post IN this thread...

Loved that line!

Of course, this IS TBD I hope he describes, in detail, his game plan for all 16 games on the schedule in 15. I hope he also lets slip who's going to win this year's Super Bowl, since I'm going to Vegas that weekend...

That's awesome! Only one (obvious) question, why was Russ meddling in the beers!?

Sounds like they're going with Bowles, they canceled their interview with Sean McDermott and are out to dinner with Bowles (I'm assuming they're *not* at Tempo). From the twitter...

Manning, EJ and Tuel. There would definitely be SOMEONE calling for Tuel to start by week 3, regardless of our record. I wouldn't even know what to do if we got Manning - my day is already filled up with enough "Wow, so, Rex huh?" conversations. It'd be endless if Payton signed up for the program!

Obviously.

Pegula is overly extravagant! I'm sure someone will come in here and hate this move

I hear he ALREADY parks at Hammers - that's going to be his spot for regular work days. I think. Dare I say, if Rex does well in Buffalo he could reach Bill Brasky-like status!!
