Wing Man Posted August 6, 2010 Share Posted August 6, 2010 This is a great way to lose your job due to overexpectations. God forbid they finish third in the division this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FLFan Posted August 6, 2010 Share Posted August 6, 2010 Ryan has easily become my favorite coach to hate in the NFL. What a self promoting douche he is. If the Bills won no other games but beat the jets twice it would be a good season. (although I do expect more) I think the Jets will prove to be overarated and disappointing this year and I look forward to watching the fat man squirm on the sidelines.

plenzmd1 Posted August 6, 2010 Share Posted August 6, 2010 Was on the road quite a bit this week and listened to a lot of the ESPN New Yprk station on XM. It's not just Rex, it is everybody in New York expects the Jets to at least make the Super Bowl, if not win it. Reasoniung is made champoionship game last year, they should be better, so Super Bowl it is. Was funny listrening to caller and hosts alike debating how winning the Super Bowl would effect Revis if he is not there. And they were discussing as if that was an absolute certainty, with or without Revis. Just blew my mins how confident the team, the media, the fans etc all are that there is no way in hell the Jets will not be great this year. Seems like they are set up for a big tumble.

BuffOrange Posted August 6, 2010 Share Posted August 6, 2010 He does talk a lot for essentially an 8-8 team that was gift-wrapped a playoff spot. I can't imagine how annoying he would be if he were to ever actually win something. I'll give him this much - they are the most talked about team in NY/NJ for the first time in my lifetime.

Lockport Bills Posted August 6, 2010 Share Posted August 6, 2010 Rex Ryan is a joke. A 2nd year coach talking like he's been around for 10 years and has 2 or 3 rings. The guy's worse than Belichick at this point. At least Belichick has won something, and I don't recall him ever saying they were gonna win it all in early August. He never said much at all and just let the winning do the talking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LongLiveRalph Posted August 6, 2010 Share Posted August 6, 2010 I hate the Jets with a passion, but I do wish there were more coaches like Rex Ryan in the league. The political correctness in the league is ridiculous, it's all predictable, canned answers, and Belichick's monotone secrecy has resulted in two dozen coaches trying to be just like him. At least Rex seems to understand that football is a game. Confidence, bravado, and trash talking are a huge part of it. The Jets are a rival and in our division, so I hope they take a massive dump this season. But what's wrong with a coach EXPECTING championships? What's wrong with putting yourself out there and saying that the only option is to win? It's much better than trying to fly under the radar just to hold on to a job. It was evident on the field that the Jets reflected the persona and confidence of their coach last season. Unfortunately, so did the Bills during the Jauron era. Rex Ryan's bravado may rub some the wrong way, but it's not for the media or for the fans...It's for the 53 guys in his camp. Nothing wrong with it, only he looks silly if it backfires, and he's aware of that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll take quiet steely confidence over all the showmanship, but that's just me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tennesseeboy Posted August 6, 2010 Share Posted August 6, 2010 boy a coach expressing high expectations from his team? No wonder they finished below us last season. We should beat the crap out of them this season as we are much more "realistic" in our expectations hoping for five wins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dean Posted August 6, 2010 Share Posted August 6, 2010 Ryan continues to be a buffoon. Maybe he's not quite as obnoxious as his father and brother, but he's catching up. I rarely root against people, but this blow hard is one whose failure I won't mind watching. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GOBILLS78 Posted August 6, 2010 Share Posted August 6, 2010 Wait, a coach without a personality was crucified because of it. And a coach comes along with a rare smart-ass personality, and he's a douche. Did I get that right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
