stevestojan Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 So I know the feelings of those in Buffalo. Mainly positive, some hate. But what I find interesting is here where I live (Virginia Beach) I have yet to hear ANY negative. People who know I'm a bills fan. "You guys will be relevant again." "What an upgrade." "We have no chance anymore" (Jets fan who works for me) The list goes on. So, outside of the rose colored, or **** colored, glasses, what do the rest of you transplants find the reaction is "around the league." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YoloinOhio Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 Here in Ohio from a non Bills fan on the hire "He's a GREAT coach!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HamSandwhich Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 You're going to be surprised to hear this, but, here in NE country (Maine) they are largely positive and say its a great fit for both parties. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 I've talked to 2 friends.. One Bronco fan, one Dolphin fan. Both said the same thing... Rex, meh. But you should have kept Schwartz to keep the defense in tact. And none of it matters until you get a QB. They both also agreed that our offense was horrible and Hackett and Marrone had to go.

Buffaloed in Pa Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 Where`s your QB. ? Rex went from Bad to worse. Duh Bills. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 Down here in Miami, the vast majority are very positive and the Dolphin fans are upset that they still have to face Rex twice a year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RyanC883 Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 hearing good things here in Pittsburgh. Most think it's a positive hire for the Bills. The worst I've heard is that there will be no improvement (but no regression) and at least Rex is interesting. Many feel that if Rex can get the Jets to a SB with Sanchez, he could do even better with another OC or QB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CNY315 Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 In Syracuse. Most of my coworkers think it's a good move for us. Of course they brought up the lack of a QB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KollegeStudnet Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 While serving two guys last night, I overheard them saying what a joke the Rex Ryan hiring was. I asked them politely where they were from. They said, Utah and North Carolina. The guy from Utah's favorite team - The Patriots, but used to be a Cowboys fan The guy from North Carolina favorite team - The Seahawks, used to be Raiders I asked both, "if they own a SF Giants hat, Lebron jersey and wave a Ohio State flag?"

Best Player Available Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 Someone who works for us lives in Venice Fl. we saw him there this AM. A life long fish fan said " Great dude after the Pats* owning the division for 10+ years, now your Bills will if new ownership is really dedicated. Rex is the guy he was in a crap situation". So We bought him a few beers, and a couple dozen oysters. All is well. I am nervous though. Rex will always have a career as a motivional speaker if he craps the bed. he is that good. He killed on Dan Patrick today. All hail El Pegul!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kelly the Dog Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 Surprisingly, there's really been no reaction down here in New Zealand. That is surprising.

JoeF Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 I have gotten mostly bashed the last couple of days -- "He's a snake oil salesman" "Good press conference -- mediocre to bad coach" "There's no O in Defense"-- guess we have to prove it on the field...

Malazan Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 (edited) I live in Austin, it's been well received and people think he's a huge upgrade to Marrone. They are way more positive about it than I am. Edited January 15, 2015 by jeremy2020 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
