He made something insignificant into a story. The focus should be on football, not on the 3 ring circus. But hey, apologists gotta come up with some juicy rationalizations to defend the franchise no matter what. And if Rex sends out former players of teams what was he doing in the Jax game when he sent out the starting OL? Did I miss something and the entire OL used to play for Jax? Yeah, I'm sure it was just coincidence that the Bills former HC only managed to get an OL coaching gig and it wasn't a dig at him at all. As for the post about "moral outrage" I see none of that here. I see fans who are embarrassed of their HC because he's acts like an immature tool on occasion. No he didn't made it into a story. The mental midgets who obsess over such insignificant things for a living made it into a story. Ignore the ESPN culture and it won't be a problem. His focus is on football. How long do you think it takes to scan the roster for the 3 guys who used to play for this week's opponent?

And your right up there on your soapbox too, just across the street. there is nothing to "defend" - it is just a different opinion. you can argue all day about something but if others don't choose to care about something they find meaningless, it's not a soapbox.
PromoTheRobot Posted November 10, 2015 Posted November 10, 2015 Again, the Jets are 5-3 thanks to that punch.

By that criteria, we could have Maybin lead the charge. Sheesh. Maybin was a captain for the Jets in their first game against the Bills after they signed him. Rex has been doing this for years, every game. This is a big deal for no one but the media.
BUFFALOTONE Posted November 10, 2015 Posted November 10, 2015 I love it, you guys take this too seriously. As long as IK doesn't screw up the call I could care less if REX sent the hot dog vendor as a Captain.

It is a soapbox, you're just decrying your fellow fans instead of the coach. If you found it so meaningless you wouldn't have posted 5+ times in this thread. When a thread doesn't speak to me I don't read it, much less post in it.
LB3 Posted November 10, 2015 Posted November 10, 2015 (edited) Herm Edwards said on Mike and Mike this morning that he used to do the same thing with his teams. He'd name a player captain if they had played for that team previously or if they were playing in their hometown. He said he always thought it was a nice gesture because a lot of the guys he sent out as captain would oftentimes never have had the chance to be captain elsewhere. Can you believe the nerve of that guy? What a troll! Edited November 10, 2015 by LBSeeBallLBGetBall

His focus is on football, yet this topic will come up every time a mic is shoved in his face during a short prep week. I loathe the man in n*e* but "we're on to the jets" would have been a much better (IMO) tack to take. Bills win & it's forgotten. Bills lose and it's forgotten after some deserved crap floating Rex's way. I understand his "practice" of appointing captains, but, in this case he should, IMO, have chosen differently. I also understand Rex's desire to either have the spotlight on him, or if you're more inclined, his desire to not have it shine too brightly on his players (as a form of protection). The Pegula's knew what they were getting cause Rex be Rex. I may not like his antics, but, I'm a whore, all I care about in the end are wins.

After that what does it really mean? Not a thing IMO. maybe the Jets can name Geno as a captain, and when they meet for the toss he taunt IK about that money again.
