26CornerBlitz Posted October 14, 2016 Share Posted October 14, 2016 @TheBillsWire Rex Ryan helping Bills turn the corner, might be one of NFL's best head coaches: https://t.co/Pz2lgwhPtj There are hundreds of adjectives that come to the minds of NFL fans when the name Rex Ryan arises. Pompous, obnoxious, boisterous, pretentious, self-important. All of those could justifiably be used do describe Ryan at some point in his illustrious coaching career, and it’s hard to say that even he would disagree. But this year with the Buffalo Bills, those adjectives have slowly shifted. Energetic, effective, progressive and influential, among others, are all better depictions of the 53-year old.

The media in this country is no longer about disseminating accurate, insightful information. Well, 99% of it isn't, anyway. It's about revenue generation. Best thing to do is ignore most of it, and read the NY Times, Washington Post, Wall Street Journal, LA Times, Chicago Tribune, or whatever legitimate news source you prefer. Al Jazeera is actually much better than many US news outlets now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No wonder fans on this board are bipolar. The media is freakin' bipolar. Me, I'm glad we've played good football 3 weeks in a row but I'll have faith that Rex can sustain effort and preparation when I see it. As a Bills fan, we've seen the team win 3, or 5, or some other number, in a row so many times and we all think "oh, this is it!

billsfan89 Posted October 14, 2016 Share Posted October 14, 2016 Rex is a upper mid level coach, a great defensive mind and a players coach who always gets his players to play hard for him. However he isn't that great at in game clock and decision management (Not terrible but not fantastic either), his track record on putting together an offensive coaching staffs isn't the best either. Another negative on him is that his teams commit penalties at a above average rate and the teams discipline can get away from them at times. From 2009-2014 the Jets were 20th, 15th, 15th, 29th, 10th, and 16th in penalties per game the Bills last year led the league in penalties obviously ranked 32nd. So Ryan's teams aren't the best in terms of penalties although he hasn't been as bad historically as most think. Ryan is a coach who probably works best in a 4-5 year period giving a great boost to defenses and a coach players love to play for. But Players coaches always end up losing the locker room quicker. Hopefully Ryan learned from his tenure with the Jets how to balance the players and discipline. If he can bring in good offensive minds, find the right balance between his players and discipline, and keep the penalties down then he might have a longer tenure. The season is still young lets see how Ryan manages the challenges of the team as they push to make the playoffs for the first time in a long time.

SF Bills Fan Posted October 14, 2016 Share Posted October 14, 2016 My two major problems from last year- lack of discipline and stupid penalties coupled with his laissez faire attitude from Rex toward that have been addressed and (so far) are non-issues. We lost games last year on penalties that kept us from being a playoff team. Now, the players are playing smart, they have bought into the system and Rex is saying the right things and we are getting the wins. So far, I'm satisfied. This is the year I thought we'd get last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ricojes Posted October 14, 2016 Share Posted October 14, 2016 Rex might be one of the NFL's Best Head Coaches Well if TT is as bad as most here say, and McCoy is overpaid, and drafting Sammy wasn't worth the price, and our Defensive scheme is outdated, and the GM sucks, and the owner is meddling, and the WR corp is weak, and TE is overpaid, and Dareus was suspended for 4 games and now hurt, 1st round draft pick hurt, 2nd round draft pick hurt, and Gilmore is letting his contract affect his play, and on and on....Then Rex coaching this team to a 3-2 record is remarkable...

Hope it doesn't occur here, however, IMO most of the attention this week has been on Kaepernick. Probably a good thing for the Bills, should they have fallen into a comfortable spot thinking they would face Gabbert. No chance with Kaep starting since he will involve an extra level of preparation and focus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Augie Posted October 15, 2016 Share Posted October 15, 2016 Correct me if I'm wrong (and I know I can count on you guys! ), but didn't we start winning when Rex gave defensive calls to Thurman and we got a new OC?
