bobobonators Posted January 10, 2016 Author Share Posted January 10, 2016 If you want to put things in perspective in this season and looking toward the future consider the caliber of coaching for the teams participating in the playoffs and compare it to how our HC ranks with them. Belichick, Tomlin, McCarthy, Arians, Carroll, Reid, O'Brien, Rivera, Lewis, Gruden etc. There is not one HC participating in the playoffs who any fair-minded person would judge to be a lesser HC than the one working in western NY. That is what our organization is competing against. And that is why I am troubled about our prospects in the future. Lewis - Now 0-7 and possibly might get fired. O'Brien - team annihilated in the playoffs. Now 0-1 in playoffs as HC. Rex Ryan has still accomplished more than either of those two. Our future looks pretty good.

QuoteTheRaven83 Posted January 10, 2016 Share Posted January 10, 2016 My expectations were exactly what they were. You guys went at me for being pessimistic and disagreeing with everyone. That's your problem. My expectations for next year is going to be 6-10 or 7-9 and we'll be back in the coaching hunt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnC Posted January 10, 2016 Share Posted January 10, 2016 Lewis - Now 0-7 and possibly might get fired. O'Brien - team annihilated in the playoffs. Now 0-1 in playoffs as HC. Rex Ryan has still accomplished more than either of those two. Our future looks pretty good. I guess you would rather not make the playoffs so you wouldn't lose in the playoffs? Odd logic. I say with no equivocation that I would rather have Lewis or O'Brien as a HC over the blustering Rex. I prefer a mature HC who gets his team into the playoffs over an immature HC who doesn't get his playoff caliber of team into the playoffs. If you believe that Rex is a quality coach that is fine. You are entitled to your opinion. On this issue you and I are riding different choo choo trains that will never arrive at the same destination.

Thunderstealer Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 Giving Leodis punt return duties. It's decisions like this one that blows my mind. Rex must do what's best for the team and not for the player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Over 29 years of fanhood Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 (edited) This is actually a very interesting point. Rex has a reputation as a "players coach", that players try to walk through walls for him because he builds this relationship that they don't want to let him down I wonder if it works better for lesser players than for established stars. Maybe the Bills D finally looked as though they had their act together and were clicking and going hard, BECAUSE so many starters were injured and backups, who were more under the "Rex Effect" spell, were playing? Just a thought. Could they just have looked better because they were up against lousey QBs?
