without a drought Posted January 31, 2019 Share Posted January 31, 2019 All said, Rex was a better coach for the Bills than Reggie was a running back for them. I'm not defending Rex, but Reggie should never speak of his time here. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CommonCents Posted January 31, 2019 Share Posted January 31, 2019 49 minutes ago, Mr. WEO said: This is a very strange point to make. Bush was productive everywhere else he went (he stopped for a cup of coffee in SF). The Bills ran him 12 (twelve) times all season. And why would this matter anyway? Anyone on that team could make a simple observation. If you "don't like reading stories like this"...close your eyes. If you gave a guy the ball 12 times and he lost 3 yards would you give it to him a 13th time? He should be thanking Rex, Fhaley, and the Pegulas for being foolish enough to sign him at that stage. McCoy should be prepared to do the same if the Bills keep him around this year. Rex was horrible, the players didn’t buy in, everyone knows it was a clown show. Bush got paid for doing nothing, no need to trash on a “coach” who already destroyed his own career. Rex’s failures somehow justify Bush’s “performance” If the Bills ended up going 2-14 and firing McD I wouldn’t have wanted to hear and I told you so from Vontae Davis either. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nick the Greek Posted January 31, 2019 Share Posted January 31, 2019 4 hours ago, BuffaloBillies said: Yeah, there really should have been more accountability. For starters, they should have released anyone on the team with NEGATIVE yardage on the SEASON. Reggie got paid $1 Million to go BACKWARDS 3 yards! $333,333 for each -1 yard. 3 hours ago, WhoTom said: Hey Reggie - RB stands for "Running Back," not "Run Backwards." I don’t think this criticism is fair. He had like 12 rushing attempts the WHOLE season. He was more used as a blocking back or on third down. In reality, it was Shadys backfield. Yea the negative yard thing is bad but it doesn’t tell the whole story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He thought he could just give the players some inspiring speech on Sunday and they would go out and win. He was the last one in the building every day and the first to leave. He delegated much of his responsibility as a head coach. He was a disaster in NY, too. They’re still trying to recover. But with a truck like that, he HAD to be the answer! Hope springs eternal.

corta765 Posted January 31, 2019 Share Posted January 31, 2019 5 hours ago, Coach Tuesday said: Rex just didn't want to work - he convinced the Pegulas to let him hire the biggest coaching staff in the league so that he wouldn't have to do the grinding himself. Should've been obvious at that point. Someone in the media had the best quote with Rex that was along the lines of he loved being a head coach and the glitz and glamour that can come with it, but the work, collaboration, creativity, and grind needed across the board to be successful was never apart of his DNA.

Buffalo Bills Fan Posted February 1, 2019 Share Posted February 1, 2019 (edited) Ya Rex was a horrible coach. I think his coaching days are done. Even DC has to teach the players. Rex loved the spotlight and other things but didn't wanna work, grind, build, discipline or lead a team. Sure can talk but working helping the team progress, build a culture he is bad at as well. Plus his horrible schemes only takes smart players and didn't wanna teach it. Edited February 1, 2019 by Buffalo Bills Fan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buffalo Barbarian Posted February 1, 2019 Share Posted February 1, 2019 Im shocked !!! Which begs the question how long did it take for Terry to realize he made a mistake and how long did he wait to bounce Rex? Was Terry just hoping rex would turn it around so he didnt look dumb after a couples weeks of hiring rex? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Be a great DC on teams that win and maybe win a Super Bowl ring or two. I still think he is a great defensive coach. He needs someone else to run the team. There were some games when he was here that his defense looked totally different... Like Rex actually worked that week. That's what ticked me off most Pettine ran Rex's defense better. 6 minutes ago, Boyst62 said: The coaches would get drunk at the facility nearly every night and the night before the game sure they did.

Thurman#1 Posted February 1, 2019 Share Posted February 1, 2019 10 hours ago, TheFunPolice said: Rex was shot from his time with the Jets He needed to take a year off and recharge but came in here running on fumes and just didn't have the passion for the work Happens in every profession. I think he truly believed that he was all in but once it was time to grind he didn't have it. IMO that's why the Pegulas fired him so quickly. His record here was .500 and get didn't even get 2 years. This seems like a very reasonable guess. Makes sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SF Bills Fan Posted February 1, 2019 Share Posted February 1, 2019 It carried over on the field with loads of unnecessary penalties. Penalties that cost us some games. Rex was folksy and a players coach but not a good HC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BillsFan692 Posted February 1, 2019 Share Posted February 1, 2019 Rexs problem was that he took a top 5 defense and turned it into a bottom feeder. Thats pretty damning for a defensive mastermind. Plus he made the mistake of hiring his own POS brother. Bills improved on offense as whaley sold the farm and our future over the last 2 or 3 years like we were in some kind of win now mode and we couldnt even make the playoffs. Yeah.

Nextmanup Posted February 1, 2019 Share Posted February 1, 2019 Rex's personality and his faults are why we have McDermott now, or at least that type of person.

BillsFan4 Posted February 1, 2019 Share Posted February 1, 2019 1 hour ago, Captain Murica said: I disagree completely with Schopp. 1) neither of Rex’s teams were better than last year’s Bills IMO. His best year was 8-8. Last year the Bills went 9-7 and made the playoffs for the first time in almost 2 decades, and they had a lot less raw talent than either of Rex’s teams did. 2) his offense was, for the most part, better than his defense during his time in Buffalo. The 2015 offense was #7 in scoring, and iirc I believe the 2016 offense was also top 10. How many times did we fans say “if only we had our 2014 defense with this 2015/16 offense...” ? If anything, I feel his defense held him back in his time here. 3) discipline definitely held the Bills back. They were one of the most penalized teams in the NFL (if not the most penalized). Penalties cost them wins in some games. I feel that The lack of discipline trickled throughout the entire team and showed in numerous forms. To name a few - effort level on the field, execution of play calls, a general level of confusion among the players, lack of preparation, and the list goes on... I believe that a lack of discipline showed up on game days and hurt the Bills. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But Schopp is too smart to think these things are important. He only cares about stats and NEVER running the ball, which he has stated many times and he ignores when running wins in the playoffs. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
