jimmy10 Posted November 3, 2016 Share Posted November 3, 2016 Classic thread. And you wonder why the reasonable among us constantly shake our heads at our fellow Bills fans... I heard that Rex took time away from game planning to have a conversation with his wife on Tuesday also. Did anybody actually confirm or provide visual evidence he was there?

section122 Posted November 3, 2016 Share Posted November 3, 2016 Did anybody actually confirm or provide visual evidence he was there? No lol. No way a personality as big as Rex goes to that game and doesn't either get put on camera or put on Twitter by a fan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peter Posted November 3, 2016 Share Posted November 3, 2016 (edited) Irony: The Rex Haters posting complaints about Rex (allegedly) being at game 7 of the historic World Series at a location that is a short flight away from Buffalo on a day off before a Monday Night game while they (or most of them) presumably are at work themselves?!?!

It's just like a real job. if i'm underperforming and have a history of underperforming and i'm taking work off to go do other things, it looks really bad. if i'm doing well and performing at my peak and go off during work to do other things, no one is questioning it. So 2 days in 4 years? 3 if this cubs thing is verified? You realize that even the coaches who slept in their offices went home and did stuff that simply wasn't publicized. Maybe not often, but they certainly showed up for something. Is that taking time away from their job too? Should we lock them in their office? Assign security? I mean the fans want a win so why not?

You can kowtow to this BS all you want, but if you don't think he sets a precedent for how his players behave, you're out of your mind. When you accept mediocrity, you get mediocrity.

Doesn't he know that real coaches fly to things!? Also, was he with a dozen friends, or a dozen Bills staffers? Either way I don't like it. Finally, Rob at home? Rex and Rob not connected at the hip? I don't like the sounds of that, I see a fallout happening - Rob will likely quit the Bills sometime in the next 3, nay, 5 weeks... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What does just in time mean to you? The World Series was Wednesday night, he was at work Thursday morning. Thursday. Friday. Saturday Sunday. Yes he got back just in time 4-5 days before the game and 2-3 days before he flies out again. It's not about him deserving time off, it's about you dictating how much time he spends preparing for his games, and doing his coaching duties with no context or insight beyond that he spent 8 hours in Cleveland one day. What else do you know about his preparation this week? Absolutely nothing. That is why it is ridiculous. I bet you were one of the ones bashing his Edelman prank conference call too.

Gugny Posted November 4, 2016 Share Posted November 4, 2016 I've got sources (they're legitimate ... believe me) telling me that Rex watched Colbert last night ... and MIGHT watch him every night. If he's going to be up late at night, don't you think the least he could be doing would be to prepare for the next game? I cannot WAIT for him to be gone.

Also, I'm not dictating anything he's doing, because he clearly does and says whatever he wants. and that's working out GRRRRRRReat for us. hasn't had a winning record since 2010 and is navigating us to his fourth 8-8 season in eight years of coaching.

Step back, take a deep breath and maybe you won't see every little thing as an indication of why we are losing. "Rex got coffee for his staff this morning. Man that guy, don't the Bills have people to do that? Instead the head coach is wasting his time getting coffee for his staff, wtf this is why we lose, he should be game planning every second" That's what you sound like.

Rex makes a fair number of in season trips out of the city from what i gather. i remember him being down here in NOLA with Rob for a HS football game one year, but might have been a bye week. generally, he just seems to have a lot of little things. i wont pretend its the difference between 7-9 and 11-5 but it makes it easy to be annoyed sometimes.

ndirish1978 Posted November 4, 2016 Share Posted November 4, 2016 The record is all that matters. Oh wait! They are 4-4 and there is a good chance they dont make the playoffs for the 17th year in a row. Or is it 18? I forget. The past two decades have been such a blurr in Billsville. Good news though. John Murphy says the season isnt over. Same as he said last year, and the year before, and so on and so on. You have to love JM and that sloth dressed up as a human Chris Brown, they do their best to polish the turd that is this team and make it look presentable. I love the press scrums when players are getting ripped apart and you hear CB come in with a quality question like "that 4 week suspension really gave you some time off to let your body heal. Would you say it was actually a blessing in disguise?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BmarvB Posted November 4, 2016 Share Posted November 4, 2016 Rex usually starts his day at the Timmy on Big Tree and I don't think he is there before 6:45am. So he gets on a plane at 5:30 pm see the game flys back right after, no big deal. They play on Mondsy Not Sunday no prep day lost All good. He can take a quick break to get away and clear his head, then get back to trying to save the season - and his job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Augie Posted November 4, 2016 Share Posted November 4, 2016 I'm not a big Rex fan, but good for him if he's got the means to make that trip happen. Off day, right? Doesn't hurt the Bills in any way I see. Some people just hate folks with $$$$ who can do nice things. Good for him. I wish I had been there, and I'm not even a baseball fan.

Over 29 years of fanhood Posted November 4, 2016 Share Posted November 4, 2016 You used to but I don't hear it that much anymore. I'm sure BB still does this but I wonder if it is still the norm. When you look at Tony Dungy, Andy Reid, and Joe Philbin who all had kids with issues and who have all stated they wished they were around more, I'm not mad that Rex took some time to go support his son. Either way there is more than 1 way to skin a cat. My favorite part about Rex is the fun that he seems to have with this game. He went to see his kid play football and I don't think anyone can question Rex's love of the game or dedication to it. He's not paid to be a fan though. But again they knew what they were buying. We saw it almost firsthand with the Jets. Reports were out. He is disorganized, lazy, sloppy and rode daddy's rep and Marvin Lewis's defense to a HC job. Add a media darling personality and tip top teeth whitening and there you have it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
