He is now slightly LESS of a loser than I thought. But was the call Whalley's or the Pegula's? to bench TT. last year? the article does confirm where the order originated. Not sure. I gave my opinion on how it went down in my first post. And yes... Rex is still a loser lol. 36 minutes ago, LittleJoeCartwright said: Are we maybe missing the detail of Rex being told to bench Taylor and he refused, so he was fired? Then Lynn was told and he obeyed? No. Didn't miss it. That is what happened. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aceman_16 Posted November 29, 2017 Share Posted November 29, 2017 He was told to bench him last year to avoid the injury guarentee. These are two totally seperate issues. Fun non-story though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott7975 Posted November 29, 2017 Share Posted November 29, 2017 I believe it's more than injury clause. I believe Whaley still thought EJ would pan out and be the future. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Direhard Fan Posted November 29, 2017 Share Posted November 29, 2017 Rex better get another coaching job. He won't be on ESPN next year. He is terrible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hemma Posted November 29, 2017 Share Posted November 29, 2017 Well, it's a good thing he stuck to his guns. Otherwise we wouldn't have had that wondrous 7-9, chest-puffing season that made everyone so proud. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really do wonder if that's the case. Most long time fans know RW is why Flutie was benched for Rob Johnson in the Music City Miracle game. And while I don't necessarily have a problem moving on from TT, I hope the Pegulas truly aren't dictating the QB situation behind the scenes or it really don't matter who we have at GM and HC they are both destined to fail. Either way can't imagine Pegula Sports and Entertainment truly enjoys watching both of their pro sports teams continue to suck, especially the Sabres talk about a full blown dumpster fire and worst team in the NHL.

CommonCents Posted November 29, 2017 Share Posted November 29, 2017 I'm not sure if you guys are trying to have a serious conversation but there is a major difference between a coach benching Taylor after his 56 yard meltdown then there is when the owner/GM pull the plug on a lost season. The same goes for all the nut jobs ranting about Manning being benched. It isn't McAdoo making that call, it's the ownership/GM agreeing that they need to look towards the future. People get appalled about tank talk, so bench the best QB and tank silently. Yikes, y'all hitting that captains and egg nog a few weeks early. Frisky fellas.

Gavin in Va Beach Posted November 29, 2017 Share Posted November 29, 2017 Taylor has that injury clause in his contract so it was the smart thing to do in benching him. Rex may have been a "players coach" but that was a stupid hill for him to die on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheFunPolice Posted November 29, 2017 Share Posted November 29, 2017 (edited) Rex felt he got screwed by the Bills because he only got 2 years and his 2nd year the players they drafted for his defense were both hurt before they could even play. IF Ragland doesn't tear his ACL in camp maybe he looks like a stud in Rex's D and the whole tenor of the season is different. He had the best record since Wade and was .500 here in two seasons. Hardly the trainwreck it was depicted as. Defense was bad, and the pieces they got to help fix it arrived broken, or never arrived at all. Super Mario wasn't so super in Miami either. He was just straight up done. Sports are funny that way though. If Seattle and Atlanta run the ball Brady isn't the unquestionable GOAT, but since they passed the ball and a DB intercepted it and a LB caused a fumble Brady is the best of all time.

TheFunPolice Posted November 29, 2017 Share Posted November 29, 2017 This all tells me, along with Rob's comment about "two former Bills coaches tearing it up next year" that Rex is rehabbing his reputation so that he can get another crack as a HC in a month or so when the hiring spree gets going. There will likely be quite a few openings, and there always seems to be a surprise one as well. Who is going to take the CLE job? Could it be Rex?
