I should have started a new thread. Instead, I posted it in the Buffalo game thread.
This has to be the beginning of the end. I thought Rex would have more than 2 seasons in Buffalo, but when you only go .500 in the first season, and the second projects worse, it comes to a head.
He may be gone by late December.
I've been reading posts on one of the buffalo bills fan forums. It's so depressing there. A Rex-led team has sucked the life out of that fan base. They fired Schwartz who had a top defense and replaced him with Rex who wasn't nearly as good. What they needed was an offensive coach instead of Rex. Bad start for Pegula up there.
I think this might guarantee Rex the whole season. With Roman gone, and Rob would never stick around if Rex was canned in-season, the cupboard would be pretty bare in terms of interim HCs.He may be gone by late December.
Firing Rex would be a mistake, who would take that job at an average 2 years backing of HC? No good smart HC. Bills Defense put points on the board & Offense was very lucky to put up that much points in a short time on the field. Offensive Cord. should have more ball control in a complete game than last night & putting Bills Defense on the field for 40 mins. is unacceptable by any Offense. Bills Defense played almost the entire game & looked tired while the OC & Offense drinking gaterade taking a nice game break.
Terrible start. I thought it was a bad fit from the start.
Rex is a good guy and a solid DC.
But he only works well as a HC in a very specific situation. He needs to take over a team that is on the verge, where his confidence in them will pay off. Ideally, it's a team that is just coming off a harsh disciplinarian HC. The problem is, teams that are on the verge of doing something special don't often have HC openings. You need a team that is good, but underachieves some year because the locker room turns on the strict coach. That's the kind of situation where Rex can step in and do very well.
The defense gets gashed for 500 Yards of total offense, nearly three 100 Yards receivers and a 100 Yards rusher, and 37 Points which you might expect with those kinds of numbers, and their offense scored a very respectable 24 Points off some real explosion plays, with an injured Sammy Watkins probably playing at less than 50%, and its the offensive coordinator (not a defensive coach) who gets fired?
Whatever man, better them than us.
Greg Ronan wasn't fired by rex,it was ownership. It's a mess in Buffalo and it's not Rex's fault this time.Well, it has to start somewhere...........And really the question that it begs is so what do you think of the JETS defense these days???? The Jets D is total SH*T right now. They are playing nothing short of atrocious.
But honestly, both sides of the ball looked awful Thursday, and Rex has to start somewhere. I can, and honestly YOU can as well if your being honest, see the defense getting better. The Bills have quite possibly the best defensive guru in the game working for them.
The offense on the other hand, just looks lost. Their offense needs a LOT more talent than what they have.....
At the end of the season is when the whole thing should be blown up if necessary...........
