KOKBILLS

That may be true... But it still does not mean Rex is a good head coach, and it certainly does not mean Rex can excel at his self-proclaimed expertise...defensive coaching...any longer... This spinning vs Whaley is hilarious to me...Not that I support Whaley either...That's a whole different subject...But the thought that Rex did not earn this firing, all by his lonesome, is laughable...

This is a fair, succinct, and accurate argument...I strongly prefer this type of information to the garbage about back room infighting and rumors...Office politics are always real...And the higher up you go the more manipulative folks get in the name of CYA...I see it in the Corporation I work for now, and others I have worked in...It's no big surprise...it's business as usual... I think the arguments against Whaley as a decision maker are most effectively made by talking about his Draft decisions and his love for trading away Draft picks...

Oh I think it was Brandon too...I'm not trying to defend Whaley...he likes to trade Draft picks and that drives me literally insane...But I could care less what happened between Whaley and Marrone because in the end Marrone left and that's all I cared about... I think Whaley is average...Not great, not terrible...He should put more value in acquiring picks than trading them...He could be better no question... Russ I'm just kinda meh on... And yes we are stuck with them...And I agree it's not good...I was in favor of blowing the whole thing up...

Well...Not saying it's right for him to give less effort... But he's not a NT...Never was...He just acquired it because he can't keep his weight at a manageable level...

I'm not a fan...Never really have been... He was fine in Van's shadow...Now though...Well...Whatever...

I think it's a combination of the wacky weed and and the hunger it likely causes...I know I've written this a million times on this board...But when Dareus came out he was a lean 319 lb monster...He showed up at his first camp huge and has never got close to that 319 again...If the kid would get serious about diet and nutrition he would literally be unstoppable...

Marrone was a Major League Richard and a simpleton...How anyone with even the slightest bit of understanding in human nature could not figure that out after hearing the guy talk for 5 minutes is completely beyond my understanding... If you're looking for dirt on Whaley, and no question there likely is dirt, the Marrone situation is definitely not where I would start...I could care less what Marrone's side was...He was awful...

It just never felt right to me...Though, like you, I decided to look on the bright side...For me at least it was mainly because he was the Jets HC, and recently we had been thumping the Jets...I just identified Rex with the Jets and I could not get over that to be honest... But Rex made it tough not to pull for him...I loved the way he embraced the history, the city, and the fans... In the end..If Rex Ryan can't manage a top 10 caliber Defense, then why have Rex Ryan as your HC? Just read an article about Gus Bradley and the Seattle defensive coaching tree the other day...And that's pretty much exactly what they base their defensive philosophy on...Almost word-for word...

Glad it's over... Time to move on...

Hooker can fly...

He's already the DC...And the Defense sucks... So...No...

Obviously you're right... But with this bunch you never really know until the fat lady has sung...

Thank you, thank you, thank you Vikes secondary!!! This REALLY helped me win my FF Championship!!! Love those guys!!!

Amazing...

Well...If it's a prospect-type were talking about think of Darron Lee... I know Zach was athletic enough when he came into the league...Now I seriously doubt it...I think both Brown's are better fits at the Sam in the 4-3...Not that they can't play the Will in a pinch...But preferably you want a guy that can fly around...

Exactly...Monday is the day to celebrate...

On offense sure...But what makes you think he would keep the Defensive coaches? I'm guessing if Lynn was to get the job it will be under the understanding that anyone remotely related to Rex Ryan's schemes on Defense will not be welcome...There is no way they replace Rex and keep parts of his Defensive staff around...If they do I'll go on record right now to say how completely moronic that idea is... No question if Lynn (or any other HC prospect) was to keep any remnants of Ryan's defensive coaching staff, defensive philosophy, defensive anything, I'm dead set against that hire...I just don't think it's even remotely possible...

Exactly right...

Safety is the early leader for #1 need...For sure...But we'll see how the off season shakes out...

Nothing against anyone here of course...But I don't see how any Bills fans could think we will win any game until well after the clock has expired...I always give myself 5-10 minutes after a win thinking there's still a chance they could call us back out to the field for some made up crap...

I thought the issues with Kujo's knee was why they prefer him on the Left Side? I swear I heard/read that somewhere...Maybe Sal said it...

Yep...Well said...

I think Fangio is a good Defensive coach...Better than Rex...But I would argue bringing a 3-4 guy in is a BIG mistake based on the Bills current front 7 personnel...I think Rex has pretty much proven that... Dareus and KW are far better suited inside in a 4 man front...Shaq Lawson IS NOT an OLB, but should fit nicely at 4-3 DE...Hughes is much better as a down DE...I'm guessing they would pencil in Ragland at the Mike, and they would need to get an athletic Will...But otherwise they are set on the front 7 if they want to run a traditional 4 man front... I strongly believe a ton of the Bills problems on Defense was Rex's scheme and the personnel never matching it... My preference for Bills DC is Gus Bradley...

Exactly...
