TPS Posted December 27, 2016 Share Posted December 27, 2016 Second verse, same as the first. Another hire down the drain to make this team and especially the owner look like the same buffoons we had prior. Hire a damn president of football ops and develop a plan and then implement the plan. Constantly chasing coaches is a joke and proven for 17 years to amount to a steaming pile of dung. So after two drafts for a 3-4 defense that stockpiled defensive players, now what. Just so many problems with always reshuffling the deck. Not necessarily. Rex ran a mix of schemes. You can have a similar 4-3 alignment that Schwartz had with Lawson, Dareus, KW (or Washington), and Hughes. LBs of PBrown, Ragland, and ZBrown.

MAJBobby Posted December 27, 2016 Share Posted December 27, 2016 Dennis Thurman will be gone in the off season as well...no way a new HC keeps a Rex coordinator. Unless the New HC is a Rex coordinator hmmm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YoloinOhio Posted December 27, 2016 Share Posted December 27, 2016 @salsports Don't know this but wouldn't doubt for a second if Rex knew so asked for this now so he could watch his son play Saturday night at Clemson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In space no one can hear Posted December 27, 2016 Share Posted December 27, 2016 My prediction? They will keep Lynn as head coach and bring back Pettine as defensive coordinator. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoSaint Posted December 27, 2016 Share Posted December 27, 2016 @sbnationNFL Some Bills players have said that Rex gave too much of the defensive authority to his brother Rob ill echo something ive said for a year plus -- rob was really disorganized when he was here in NOLA. it was the first time i saw him week in and week out and regardless of their talent issues, things like 10 or 12 men on the field was an issue i complained about nearly a year ago when we brought him in. these two are creative and seem fun and that can work but as a coach you also have to be incredibly prepared and making sure YOU do all the work and own every situation so your guys can go out there and think as little as possible. im all for a guy that can smile and joke but you have to have that eye for detail and strong communication. these two have completely underwhelmed in the periods i watched them closely.

DriveFor1Outta5 Posted December 27, 2016 Share Posted December 27, 2016 This is only a good thing if Pegula(s) and Brandon stay FAR away from the hiring of the next HC. They won't. That's why so many of us want to see Brandon gone. Until that happens, I'm concerned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CountDorkula Posted December 27, 2016 Share Posted December 27, 2016 I feel for Rex, but this is a well deserved firing. Rex gets 15MM for getting fired. I do not feel anything but get you and your brother as far away from buffalo as possible! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
K-9 Posted December 27, 2016 Share Posted December 27, 2016 Wonder who fired him? TPegs? DW? Brandon? Probably the person he directly reported to. That's usually how it works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joemac Posted December 27, 2016 Share Posted December 27, 2016 Too bad for Rex, but his defense, his specialty, sucked and when you give up 200 yards rushing to the same guy twice, something is wrong with your defense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
r00tabaga Posted December 27, 2016 Share Posted December 27, 2016 Hmmmm I said this was a done deal a week ago.... Watch Rex really close. I think he has been already told.

Not really this team can easily go to a 4-3 Shaq is a DE was in college is in NFL Washington moves inside to play 3 tech like college Ragland (hardest fit in 4-3 IMO) Darby still a CB 4-3 doesnt effect that coverage schemes do.

boyst Posted December 27, 2016 Share Posted December 27, 2016 The Rex Haters here and in media had their pathogical obsession fulfilled. Congratulations. In this holiday season, I hope that you are not judged in your own jobs and life with the same pathological obsession . . . . P.S. Doug Whaley - you are the last man on the bus. There is no other person to throw under the bus. Good luck. Go Bills! my god this is full ....I need to copy and paste Toms script! I'm judged by my job all the damn time and I ain't ****. Every year a heavy review with 3 of my superiors. Every month financial reviews of what my departments have done. Every quarter efficiency reports. Every week safety reports. What do you do that you're not held responsible for quality ?!?! Why are you so obsessed with this sack of **** rex Ryan? What has he done to show you he has something to offer you!

Stop focusing on Brandon and be more concerned about the owners being involved. Them being involved is even more troublesome....unless it's just a brief meet and greet after the GM has selected the coach, and term has been agreed to.

Nothing to do with the underperforming defense and habitual disorganization on the sidelines not to mention a sub 500 record as an NFL head coach. Feel free to reply with a list of excuses as to why nothing was his fault. Cant wait to hear them. Also make sure you critique my spelling and improper use of grammar.

TC in St. Louis Posted December 27, 2016 Share Posted December 27, 2016 It's a nice thought that Lynn is head coaching material. I would eliminate him based upon the Bush play in OT the other day. I believe that cost the Bills the game. I had absolutely zero faith that Carpenter would make that kick. Take away that Bush debacle and run something sensible, I think we would have won the game. I say bring in Tom Coughlin. Give him the keys and let the party begin. No missed tackles under Tom Coughlin. He's tough. In fact, I'm just going to rename him Toughlin.
