YoloinOhio Posted December 25, 2015 Share Posted December 25, 2015 (edited) 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. Which players will they be wasting money getting rid of? seems like they would be saving money by lopping off Mario and McKelvin contracts. Who else is part of this massive rebuild many keep talking about who we would be wasting money letting go? They save 13 mill in cap on Mario alone and his production can be replaced (upgraded?) with a rookie. I would personally like to sign a NT and safety in FA, draft a pass rusher to replace Mario and MLB to replace Bradham (will leave in FA), move Brown back to WLB, and focus the rest on the offense. Also cut Duke Williams and Boobie Dixon for not being good. And maybe Graham if Aaron is ok. Edited December 25, 2015 by YoloinOhio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't look to ditch him unless something better comes along. Top priority in the off season is to find exceptional talent at NT , MLB and Second WR.

Mister Defense Posted December 25, 2015 Author Share Posted December 25, 2015 Which players will they be wasting money getting rid of? seems like they would be saving money by lopping off Mario and McKelvin contracts.

In his last four years with the Jets their best year defensively in points allowed was 19th in 2013, and the Bills are 17th this year. The Bills will be wasting money no matter who they bring in as Ryan has proven himself to be a poor defensive coach over the last five years. They will be spinning their wheels, in my view, with very little hope for success. Signing bonuses and salaries for the kind of veteran, big time talent that most seem to indicate is needed to make this defense work will be wasted money, leading to more of the same mediocrity or worse. This was a loaded team defensively, and Ryan trashed it with his poor schemes, lack of commitment, and lack of discipline. Time to move on, clearly.

Time to move on, clearly. i don't think they need veteran, big time talent to make it work. A couple mid tier FAs at key positions like NT and safety would be fine. The NT doesn't need to be elite - he's there to free up Dareus in the middle and play the scheme. And both together would cost half of Mario's cap hit. Even if they had the same scheme as last year it would make sense to move on from Mario and replace with a rookie pass rusher. It's time to move on from that contract - he's not the same player even when lined up 1:1 and just asked to get to the QB. The Bills had 50 QB hits this year (that was before the Skins game) which was on track to be more than each of the last 2 years. Why so many fewer sacks and pressures - they aren't getting home.

Ohiostyle Posted December 26, 2015 Share Posted December 26, 2015 I'm not convinced that Mario's lack of production is reduction of skill, he turns what 31 next month? I think he's being a bit of child because of a scheme he'd rather not be a part of, and probably not liking Rex. I agree his current contract is a non-starter, but I'm not nearly as ready to give up on Mario as I am Rex. Now we rebuild/retool a defense to suit a coach that virtually no one would agree is bringing a prepared team each Sunday? I've never in all my life seen a coaching staff stand out so much, for all the wrong reasons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr.Sack Posted December 26, 2015 Share Posted December 26, 2015 This stat is pretty misleading as most bad teams rarely win A game let alone multiple games in a row. Rex is 6-8 this year and will likely end up 7-9 assuming the Jets come to play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
