ChanOverChin Posted October 20, 2016 Author Share Posted October 20, 2016 Hey FireRex, I want to know when you're gonna change your pseudo name. We all want to know. Can you realistically sit there and tell me that Rex and his coaching staff need to be fired at this point?? The point of the article that has been referenced above is simply that the Bills are currently in a very good position to make the playoffs this year. It's NOT saying that they definitely will make it!! Too many things can happen beyond their control to guarantee that. For example, if key players get injured for long periods of time that will certainly have an adverse effect and could ultimately keep them out, but the point is that Rex has this team on the right track. They've won FOUR GAMES IN A ROW and they've done it in convincing fashion. The truly amazing thing is that they've done it without some of their best players..........WATKINS, DAREUS, SH. LAWSON, HENDERSON, RAGLAND, and EASLEY.....................not to mention M. Lawson, Ka. Williams, Listenbee, et al. I expect that this team will only get better once Dareus, Sh. Lawson, Henderson return. There's still a chance that Watkins, Easley, and Listenbee will play for the Bills this year.........and it wouldn't come too soon if you ask me because the WR corps has been seriously depleted.

Virgil Posted October 20, 2016 Share Posted October 20, 2016 We simply have no business talking about playoffs. Especially as a Bills franchise. We've had better records and in better positions in the past. We are the losingest franchise in all of sports. Can you feel the BBFS? This week has proven how close we can get to losing it all. Shady goes down, we go down. With that, I've already stated when I will change my screen name. As of right now, Rex is 12-10 as our head coach. He's shown improvement these past few weeks, but so have other coaches who didn't make it. We've also just come off a streak where we haven't played a legit quarterback. That's not our fault, but it just means we haven't been fully tested yet. Again, happy to be wrong. But this team does not deserve the benefit of the doubt. They don't get to fall into statistics showing that we have a good chance at the playoffs. Until we have actually clinched a playoff spot, I will not change my tone on this. And there is absolutely no excuse that will serve as acceptable to bail out Rex. I don't care who gets hurt, what game we almost won, this is his team, his roster, and his result. But RexOverLips does have a nice ring to is 😀 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChanOverChin Posted October 20, 2016 Author Share Posted October 20, 2016 FireRex, so what you're saying is that if the Bills don't make the playoffs, for whatever reason, that Rex should be fired?? I think that's asinine. I think that's where we differ. I believe that Rex and his coaching staff (now that Lynn is running the show on offense and Rob Ryan is providing more input on defense, esp. on the red zone defense) are a coaching staff to be reckoned with. Miami just beat the daylights out of the Steelers. Are you going to say that beating Miami proves nothing if the Bills win that game too?? "We've also just come off a streak where we haven't played a legit quarterback." - Really, you don't consider Carson Palmer to be a legit NFL QB??
