Some people up there have selective amnesia. Ryan, once embraced, now questioned, got a public vote of confidence from Bills owner Terry Pegula on Wednesday, which says more about his frustrated fan base than the man in charge of his football team. Ryans Bills are still a work in progress. He just needs to get rid of the bums. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vinaccia Posted December 31, 2015 Share Posted December 31, 2015 He's absolutely right. People here don't want to accept we didn't have a talented team last year and that it takes over a year to turn a team like the Bills around. That 9-7 record was gifted to us by a second string Pats team the last game. Hardly we were a a 9-7 team. MUCH of that record also had to do with amazing play from Carpenter. NOBODY wants to acknowledge and attribute wins coming from Carpenter last year. He was a huge piece to that offense and simply is not producing this year.

Mr. WEO Posted December 31, 2015 Share Posted December 31, 2015 Mehta has had an uncomfortably intense crush on Rex for several years. Read this completely over the top Rex love piece he tearfully penned after the Jets finally sh&tcanned Ryan: http://www.nydailynews.com/sports/football/jets/mehta-rex-ryan-silence-loud-proud-article-1.2060295 Moments after Rex Ryan was officially unemployed Monday morning, he walked into a meeting room at the Jets facility and said very little. It was unlike the man who had swept into our lives with so much bravado six years ago to be so quiet. He knew it was the only way this should end. Ryan had carved out an unmistakable presence in the biggest town under the brightest lights with refreshing authenticity. He introduced swaggerlicious into our lexicon one outrageous statement at a time, but none of that noise felt right shortly after Woody Johnson fired him around 7:30 a.m." Holy crap---when has a 4-12 HC elicited so much boner lifting wistful lust in a beat writer?

The significant change was in ppg on D last year. It's that simple. The results this year have the same cause, though the opposite direction.

If you want to say Marrone had in reality an 8-8 team then Rex in reality has a 6-9 team with one game to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BADOLBILZ Posted December 31, 2015 Share Posted December 31, 2015 http://m.nydailynews.com/sports/football/jets/mehta-rex-ryan-loved-jets-article-1.2481490?utm_content=bufferf8e10&utm_medium=social&utm_source=twitter.com&utm_campaign=mmehta+twitter I generally tend to agree with Mehta.........and Rex may have been able to take that Jets talent to the playoffs. But the coaching job he did this year was epically bad. He ABSOLUTELY deserves to be fired on the basis of his coaching. But he also hired Greg Roman.......who made the offense work......which kept this team from bottoming out to 2-14 or so.......which is more reflective of the actual quality of work Rex and his minion Thurman put forth in 2015. Roman is basically the only reason this coaching staff should be retained........which is scary when you consider what happened a couple years ago when Pettine got snatched unexpectedly from the Bills after his D kept Marrone's offense from bottoming the team out. Maybe Rex could find another Roman...........but his previous choices like Marty Morninweg and Brian Schottenheimer were not difference making OC's. They were Nate Hackett's. The Pegula's can talk all they want about continuity.....and I am fine with giving the entire staff another chance(except Crossman)..............but without Roman we aren't even having this conversation and he is free to go if someone needing a HC calls him.

If you want to say Marrone had in reality an 8-8 team then Rex in reality has a 6-9 team with one game to go. Too bad those talented Pats* didn't play in that game, while Bills had most of their starters in that game. . Quick without a gamebook could you list the Bills players? Who are 69 and 90 who were getting plenty of snaps? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was a huge piece to that offense and simply is not producing this year.so what your saying is the Bills suck and whatever they did to win games last year doesn't matter and doesn't count because they suck so they didn't actually win. I guess the bills are the only team who's wins don't count because the other team didn't have all their best players playing and because their kicker made a kick. After years of being average, the Jets got a coach that took them deep into the playoffs 2 years in a row. How will Bills media canonize the next Bills coach that is able to break the playoff drought and take us to an AFC Championship game? Perspective. well Bills fans were out with pitchforks ready to run the coach who was able to get this team their best record in a decade out if town before he resigned last year..... Wins are from the kicker? OMG! And, if so, people want to cut Carpenter for being slightly off? Slightly off from winning us all those games? My stance....Carpenter is good and should be retained. He just had an off year. disagree on Carpenter, he was good last year, but was bad the year before with Miami and bad again this year. I would look at last year as the fluke/anomaly then the norm for him now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T master Posted December 31, 2015 Share Posted December 31, 2015 Great article thanks for the heads up ! But this article points out one thing that is very apparent in the realm of the Bills fan base, we want instant gratification ! And i am guilty as charged ... After 16 years of not being in or even truly sniffing the play offs we as Bills fans are starved for that, but even if we do have some good come we as Bills fans always seem to find the bad in who ever is the coach or player in question . Chan which is having a great season with Rex old team & our old QB had some good things happen while here as our HC & because he didn't immediately change the Bills from non contenders he was raked across the coals every chance we got . But now how many are saying man he really does know offense ! I always liked him & m glad to see him do well & the tears he shed when leaving the Bills told me a lot about the man. I think reading the article shed more light on the Bills fans than it did on Rex being a bad coach, but gave anthers perspective on his coaching ability & that the Bills fan base although hard at times given the past need a bit more patience when there is such a extreme change in staff. We have a real good but young GM which i think will right the ship but Rome (ans) empire wasn't built in a season ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
apuszczalowski Posted December 31, 2015 Share Posted December 31, 2015 Fans would have slot more patience for Rex or any other coach if the team still missed the playoffs but atleast looked like a team improving, not one that regressed as badly as it did in what was the strength of the team with a new coach who's strength was the area that regressed. It also doesn't help that we all spent years watching his act with a division rival fail. If this year's team was strong defensively and the offence just wasn't good enough this year to get over the hump into the playoffs, there would be slot more people willing to give Rex a pass and look forward to next year. But right now, it didn't even take him a full season to have players come out against him and we'll saw a team that was undisciplined and not prepared while hearing a bunch of bs from him all week in the media talking like he is the best. Smart move would have been for TP to come out and say this is not the way he wants his organisation to be run and is admitting he made a mistake last year and let Rex go. He could then say the rest of the coaching staff will be evaluated and be given an option to stay if they new coach agrees, but otherwise they are free to interview for positions that would be a step up from their current spots like usual.
