Mister Defense Posted November 12, 2015 Share Posted November 12, 2015 I read this a few days ago, and just looked it up to confirm it: Rex Ryan's teams are 2-17 after a win in the last 19 games. Ouch. No matter the quality of the teams, that seems to be a pattern. I think he gets so excited, like a kid, after a win, that he (and, so his teams) are not focused enough the following week. And that is how this season has felt, a convincing win, followed by a big loss, games in which the Bills were, for the most part, dominated, not even in the game. It has shocked us because we see that potential, and then, POW, the Bills, and their fans, get knocked out. I am excited for tonight, looking forward to a big Bills win, and hoping Rex can overcome this trend. But, pretty powerful stat there when you also look at this season to date. If this happens again tonight, well, I am thinking that the Bills should begin to think of cutting their (yes, significant) losses and about moving on next year. And something like making Enemkpali a captain may shed some light on the 2-17 record; in this case, giving a good team, playing at home, and on a Thursday night, even more motivation. Rex is undisciplined, like the Bills are now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WhitewalkerInPhilly Posted November 12, 2015 Share Posted November 12, 2015 Alternately, he is 15-7 the week after a win in his first two years as head coach of a team. Let's not cherry pick statistics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buffalos#1Fan Posted November 12, 2015 Share Posted November 12, 2015 People on ESPN love talking about that statistic all the time. It means almost nothing. It gives us no information or extra analysis other than that's the way it is. Just like stats on teams not playing well on Thursday night football or losing prime time games, its garbage. I think the reason why he loses after a win is more related to his .500 coaching record rather than "he gets excited like a kid." Honestly, I don't even know why I responded, this guy is clearly trolling or I hope he is for his sake, a lock him up baby Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D. L. Hot-Flamethrower Posted November 12, 2015 Share Posted November 12, 2015 Rex in 9-0 in games with a crescent moon covered over by clouds, just after it rained, with pending high winds the day after and when his wife gives him a foot job before the game!

Koufax Posted November 13, 2015 Share Posted November 13, 2015 Rex is 0-0 against the New York Jets in his career. So 60 football minutes away from a new narrative in one direction or another. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PO16FFS Posted November 13, 2015 Share Posted November 13, 2015 So he did win 2 times! No need to talk after the season is over, a loss tonight and he should be a lame duck! Wasted that great defense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dragonborn10 Posted November 13, 2015 Share Posted November 13, 2015 Since he is around a .500 coach his record must be quite good after a loss. If Taylor plays well he will get a third win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Augie Posted November 13, 2015 Share Posted November 13, 2015 It doesn't matter..... if he doesn't come out of the locker room for the game, right? Typical Rex - "It's not about me", making it more about him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly, I don't even know why I responded, this guy is clearly trolling or I hope he is for his sake, a lock him up baby Those stats cover his last three years in New York. That is a decent sized sample. I think the statistic may be relevant and may be telling--the Bills have a very talented team and it is happening here, this year. It does seem to fit with his demeanor this past week, as after a win he seems to not handle it well, like his players don't handle things like adults on the field this year, clearly, as they are on their way to a record number of penalties. You never see a great coach do these things, give the other team ammo. We shall see the tonight and the rest of the year. He does seem to let wins and success go to his head, as they make his bravado come out--not good for a head coach, not from what I have seen in my lifetime as an NFL fan. Kind of reminds me of 'Coach' Dickerson before the Redskins blew out the Bills in the Super Bowl; don't throw sh** it in your opponent's face. Playing a good NFL team is tough enough. But, Bills 23, Jets 16. Go Bills. Edited November 13, 2015 by Mister Defense Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rex is undisciplined, like the Bills are now. That 8-8 Jets team from 2013 was so bad talent wise, Ryan should have won coach of the year.

Mister Defense Posted December 25, 2015 Author Share Posted December 25, 2015 Now, with the season over, isn't this fact extremely telling when it comes to Ryan's coaching? The Bills, a very talented team, won two games in a row ONE time this entire year--one time. The game has passed him by, or he doesn't care very much, doesn't work like the great coaches do--whatever it is, he ain't the guy. He took a very talented team and undermined its potential. The guy cannot win two games in a row, yet again, more than one time in a season, and with this team? I know it may still be wishful thinking, but I really believe Ryan is one and done. I think that the Pegulas will see that they will waste considerably more money by getting rid of players and bringing in new ones than they will by firing Rex now and cutting their losses. This staff cannot even get the basics right, so stand almost no chance of being successful in the league. Maybe for the first time ever I will not be disappointed if the Bills lose the last two, as this may all but assure a coaching change next year.

Cowboys and Jets are two of my least favorite teams, and I would normally be thrilled if the Bills beat either of them. This year, I think sending a message and improving draft position may turn out to be a better choice in the long run. I won't root for the Bills to lose, but I will think that every dark cloud has a silver lining if they do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
