We'll have all the updates from Wednesday's open OTA practice on Twitter at 10 a.m. Here are a few thoughts heading in... An OTA brawl involving Preston Brown is a good thing.

Nanker Posted June 8, 2016 Share Posted June 8, 2016 Welcome to the cult. We have our first meeting Wednesday at Knights of Columbus. BYOB. I'll try to be on time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
26CornerBlitz Posted June 8, 2016 Author Share Posted June 8, 2016 @TyDunne Yes, that is Preston Brown in a @KingJames jersey at Bills practice. @TyDunne Programming Note: T.J. Barnes has moved back to defense. Don't see Cordy Glenn on the field at the start of Bills OTAs. Cyrus Kouandjio running in his spot at left tackle right now.

PromoTheRobot Posted June 8, 2016 Share Posted June 8, 2016 Rex is currently 4-11 against NE. Could you imagine how much he would talk if he was something like 6-9?How does 4-11 compare with other coaches? Might be pretty good actually. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FireChan Posted June 8, 2016 Share Posted June 8, 2016 How does 4-11 compare with other coaches? Might be pretty good actually. It's not. Especially when the lion's share of those wins came more than half a decade ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FLFan Posted June 8, 2016 Share Posted June 8, 2016 It's not. Especially when the lion's share of those wins came more than half a decade ago.Wow. Half a decade sounds like a really long time. So you know for a fact there are other specific NFL coaches with more than 4 wins against Belicheat? The graphic in this article would suggest otherwise. http://boston.suntimes.com/bos-sports/7/119/241572/graphic-shows-bill-belichicks-record-vs-every-nfl-team Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The graphic in this article would suggest otherwise. http://boston.suntimes.com/bos-sports/7/119/241572/graphic-shows-bill-belichicks-record-vs-every-nfl-team Half a decade is a really long time without replicating success. It's definitely a long enough time to get someone fired, as we all know. Since 2011, here's a list of people with more or equal wins against BB as Rex. Chan Gailey. John Fox. Gary Kubiak. Tom Coughlin. Mike Tomlin. John Haurbaugh. Pete Carrol. Jim Haurbaugh. Ken Whisenhunt. Marvin Lewis. Ron Rivera. Joe Philbin. Andy Reid. Mike McCarthy. Doug Marrone. Todd Bowles. Dan Campbell. Chip Kelly. And some QB's... Kevin Kolb. Ryan Fitzpatrick. Alex Smith. Sam Bradford. Ryan Tannehill. Kyle Orton. Praise be to Rex!

Yes, the Patriots have lost games in the last 5 years, including to Doug Marrone who managed to hang on to squeak by the Pats B team in a meaningless game. I was pointing out that you would likely not find any, or certainly not many, coaches who have more than 4 wins against NE during Belicheats tenure. I am not suggesting it's great, only that it is as good as anyone has done. As for that half a decade, I could not care less other than his record as Bills coach. Right now that is 0&2, and needs to improve this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you play the Pats the most in the last 6 years, you'll win a handful. Ask Joey Philbin. Edited June 8, 2016 by FireChan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FireChan Posted June 8, 2016 Share Posted June 8, 2016 How did he get lucky? Please elaborate. Sometimes you win games as an inferior opponent. Happens all the time in the NFL. Rex has proven that his 3 wins in 2009 and 2010 against BB were not something he would ever replicate. It's why the Jets finally fired him. It's why when you compare him to the list of other coaches with 1 win or more against BB in the 5 years, there's 2 categories. Coaches who suck and usually got fired but managed to win a game against the Pats, and coaches who have had recent and usually sustained playoff success and accolades. It's not very difficult to see which side Rex falls in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
26CornerBlitz Posted June 8, 2016 Author Share Posted June 8, 2016 @john_wawrow #Bills WR Dez Lewis continues to impress. Makes diving 1-handed catch. Must carry it over when pads come on, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GunnerBill Posted June 8, 2016 Share Posted June 8, 2016 @john_wawrow #Bills WR Dez Lewis continues to impress. Makes diving 1-handed catch. Must carry it over when pads come on, though. I'm pulling for him this camp. He was disgustingly raw last offseason but if he can come through to become at least a rotational option that is a major win for the Bills.

FireChan Posted June 8, 2016 Share Posted June 8, 2016 Nobody does well against the Hoodie*** except Coughlin. Silly me for not realizing that all 31 other coaches have been on the same teams since 2000 just like BB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Implying that he won't ever replicate his 2009 to 2010 record vs the Pats is simply your opinion, not any fact, not a proven fact. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
