MRM33064 Posted December 25, 2016 Share Posted December 25, 2016 That last punt ... at home, in OT, on a 4th-and-short, with your last chance to stay alive hanging in the balance, in a game when neither defense was stopping anyone ... was the dumbest, most gutless, laughable, lamest, and the most perfect single representation of everything I can't stand about Rex. A PUNT?! Are you kidding me?! When it actually came time to act like a bully (what Rex always likes to spout), to put up or shut up, we put our skirts on, danced like a twinkle-toed Christmas fairy, and punted. The voluntary turnover. The #1 playcall of choice for Bills coaches in clutch situations over the last 15 years. You could actually hear the cheers (and laughter) from the Dolphin fans from South Florida when we did it. That said, would I fire Rex? Truth be told if I were Pegs I probably wouldn't, primarily because I'm not interested in paying Rex $5mm or whatnot to ride his bike around with Rob while I pay some other re-tread with old, tired ideas that don't work anymore either ( Tom Coughlin anyone?), when no matter who we bring in here is going to be somewhere between 7-9 and 9-7 until we get our elusive franchise QB. To borrow a phrase Slick Willie, circa a time long ago when the Bills were good: It's the QB stupid. But that wimpish display was bad Rex. Really, really bad.

I'd hire Lynn as HC due to his being demanding and very detailed oriented, both things Rex isn't and have him bring in a good young up and coming defensive coach to lead the defense. What Lynn has done with another coach's terminology, playbook and with practice squad caliber WR's most of the year has been nothing less than impressive Edited December 25, 2016 by matter2003 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nitro Posted December 25, 2016 Share Posted December 25, 2016 Rex defended the punt. Not going to argue that point. It was wrong. Rewind to the kick offs. Carp cold not hit get it into the end zone. The coverage was sloppy. The next kick, if he can not get it into the end zone, then squib it. Have a chance to pin them down instead of having them return to the 40.

Billznut Posted December 25, 2016 Share Posted December 25, 2016 Rex has been a loser in every sense of the word for years. Hasn't had a winning season in forever. Yet even one day ago people still defended him and wanted him back. The silence is deafening now. Bye bye blowhard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turbo044 Posted December 25, 2016 Share Posted December 25, 2016 Hire Lynn As the HC as long as he gets a stud DC. This is despite his all time stupid call of the end around to Bush. Moronic call. Btw, off if the top of my head these are the idiotic things Rex did just today; 1. 4th and 3 - don't go for it, instead attempt a 46 yd fg into the wind. Carpenter never is making that. 2. Coaches challenge on an obvious catch. 3. Allow for a 3rd 200 yd rusher against this year. This is a first in NFL HISTORY. 4. Prevent/zone coverage on the last drive of regulation. 5. Calls a time out after the ball is snapped on the field Fg 6. The bush end round - maybe not his fault but he is the HC 7. No balls ,- punts on 4th and 2 in OT 8. Not only has 10 men on the field on the 57 yd run in OT, but does the same on the Winning fg Players may love him but he's way too disorganized and has turned a #3 schwartz d into a joke Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevewin Posted December 25, 2016 Share Posted December 25, 2016 I really hope Rex is fired Monday and Lynn is coach for the last game for no other reason than to see how the players react. Does he actually command some respect and the players actually play hard for the guy, or do they show the lack of focus and effort which has been the hallmark of the D especially under Rex. The pervasive lack of tackling is tied to lack of effort, focus an caring by a group of players who obviously aren't playing for their coach. I'd like to see if that changes even in a meaningless game with Lynn at the helm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big C Posted December 25, 2016 Share Posted December 25, 2016 @bf_insiders We're being told that #Bills will start searching for a new HC. Running the table is what Rex had to do. Well I'd like to see Lynn get a chance to HC this last week as aneeded audition of sorts. Not that NYJ is much of an audition. I'd like to see how he manages.
