MAJBobby Posted December 27, 2016 Share Posted December 27, 2016 (edited) Then why is Rex fired? read Petula's reaffirmation of his denial from October I would agree---except that there was a report of such a plan and that plan was carried out, despite the Bills coming closer to making the playoffs. Clearly it wasnt that he hired his entire family to coach and get fully pregnant only to get worse. Damned if you do Damned if you dont. He doesnt fire Rex your here slamming him He does your here slamming him Edited December 27, 2016 by MAJBobby Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain Caveman Posted December 27, 2016 Share Posted December 27, 2016 This is ridiculous. I also was going to ask who is Carlucci. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. WEO Posted December 27, 2016 Author Share Posted December 27, 2016 Vito Carlucci. In the mood for spaghetti and meatballs now with a flavorful red. Mmmmm....yes... The show on the field brought this on. When you are "known for defense", the offense is not the problem, you give up three 200+ yard rushing games to opposing RB's, the secondary looks like you and your friends at the playground calling out who is guarding who, and your guys look like they quit on you at least a couple of games then what did you expect to happen? Let's keep that continuity thing going? .......... Riiiiiiiight This is what Pegula saw LAST year from Rex. Hence the ultimatum--fix it or else. He didn't and now he's gone. I applaud the tough stance by Pegula. I don't go for the BS from Pegula. Clearly Rex was coaching for his job this year and he knew it. Not is is clear. Why pretend otherwise. Looks again like amateur hour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just out of curiosity, what does my admitting I made a mistake have anything to do with what I posted? Oh, wait. I know. Absolutely nothing. Dumbass.

klos63 Posted December 27, 2016 Share Posted December 27, 2016 One year ago, he broke the story "one more year to turn things around". Pegula denied, denied denied---and repeated it as recently as October. How ridiculous to think that an owner of a sports franchise would tell the public about the thinking inside the administration. It would be so reckless to do that. You can't be serious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hapless Bills Fan Posted December 27, 2016 Share Posted December 27, 2016 One year ago, he broke the story "one more year to turn things around". Pegula denied, denied denied---and repeated it as recently as October. No he doesn't (owe Carrucci a damn thing, much less an apology). Denying a January rumor and repeating the denial in October does not mean you can't change your mind. He may well have been 100% honest in saying there was no "playoffs or else" ultimatum and he values continuity. He presumably also values basic competence. When you only get 10 guys on the field in overtime in the game that could keep your faint playoff hopes alive, all prior plans are off. When you're known as a defensive expert, and your D gives up multiple big run games to division rivals, well, that changes things. I could see Rex as staying if the Bills finished 9-7 and missed the playoffs and generally looked to be on an upward trend, especially with all the injuries.

BringBackOrton Posted December 27, 2016 Share Posted December 27, 2016 Rex being fired doesn't mean there ever was a ultimatum It certainly makes the arguments Pegula made when denying an ultimatum mean quite a bit less. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks again like amateur hour. Cuz it wouldn't have looked like amateur hour if Pegula came out and said "yep I told Rex get to the playoffs or he's fired". Then you and all the other negative Nancy's would have been complaining about the meddlesome owner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

papazoid Posted December 27, 2016 Share Posted December 27, 2016 likely scenario Pegula and russ discuss that rex & whaley have 1 year to turn things around russ tells rex, doug......and leaks to vic Pegula can deny he ever gave rex & doug an ultimatum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc Posted December 27, 2016 Share Posted December 27, 2016 Like I told you WEO, 9-7 saves Rex's job. Losing to the Dolphins, especially in the way that they did, sealed his fate. The only one that owes anyone an apology is Rex, for his defense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
