Do we know what he have in Bowles? By no means. We saw a lot of improvement going from 4-12 to 10-6, but how hard was that really? We spent over 100 million and it didn't take a brain surgeon to know that we needed to spend it on a secondary and receivers. Also we lucked out with Geno not playing. Rex would have won 10 with this team too. In buffalo they were decimated with injuries too.
Although we improved record wise we still saw the same old Jets rear their ugly head a few times even with the easiest schedule we will ever see. So I can't be sold on Boles yet.
Think on this for a while if you want to be sick. If we had beaten Rex twice this year instead of losing to him twice, we would have won the division over the cheatahs. WON THE FREAKIN DIVISION! how sad is that. We may have even been the 1 seed.
you better hope Rex gets fired next year because we don't need 2 coaches in our division that want nothing more then to beat the Jets twice a year.
I posted this before and it seems fitting to post it again here:
Yeah your right, he did get owned by that asshole, no good of a HC, Rex Ryan twice and it is a utter embarrassment and disappointment I do agree. However; This season not all lost by this game or the other Bills lose. The Jets lost 2 other games IMO that they should not have lost, the Eagles and Texans games. I don't want to get into whether or not Rex would have had this team in the playoffs this year with this roster because we will never know and can only speculate. I personally don't believe he would and whole heartingly believe Bowles is 10 times a better HC then Rex.
Yes I know a lot of people will disagree and obviously you do as well but its all good, we can always disagree (respectfully). Only time will tell who is the better coach and I give it 2-3 years and Bowles will still be the Jets HC and hopefully guide this team to winning a SB. While Rex Ryan will be a sports analyst or DC for a NFL or college team. Bowles and the rest of the coaches made a lot of good out of this roster and yes they should have won 2 more games (mainly the Bills games but the Texans or Eagles would do) at least and/or beat the Bills at least once but the ball bounces the other way with that.
He could have also gave in to the media and/or fan hype and panicked into starting Geno or Petty over Fitz during that mid-season struggle and if he did, the Jets probably would have been a 6-7 win team. So give him props for that and also realize that the Bills defense was ranked top 5 last year (I believe). This year pretty much with the same roster and the genius defensive mind in Rex Ryan, they dropped down in the late teens and a team in disarray. The Bills last year were a team on the rise and look at team the now with a better roster, while our Jets went up 6 wins from last year.
Rex has NEVER had a QB as good as Tyrod Taylor with the Jets and he does nothing with him with the Bills. While Bowles takes a 6 team journeyman back-up QB (pretty much) and sets Jets records with him and NFL records with their two top WRs. So yes I do agree that Bowles dropped the ball against the Bills (twice) and the Jets should have been a playoff team but he is a very good HC. A first year coach at that and hopefully he learns from these mistakes and next year we get that extra 2-3 wins and are a #1 or #2 seed and force to be reckoned with.
FYI-Please don't give me the Bills suffered from injuries CRAP because all teams do, including ours and Rex just dropped the ball AGAIN!!!
