    If Rex goes to Bills. Proves he only cares about having a great defense. Thats what he lives for. More important than winning.
    I always got the impression Rex would rather lose 10-9, than win 38-35

    Look you can win with the Bills. They have a lot of good players. They'll get him a good OC there's some available. Maybe even a guy like David Lee who was on the Bills staff a few years ago. The Bills are better than Atlanta.

    this really sucks, Buffalo is now an instant contender and we have to face Rex twice a year.

    we have the worst fans and we will deserve to watch Rex pound our team and go deep in the playoffs again.

    LOL. You can hide behind your typical "we have the worst fans"/"You are a bad fan who deserves (insert terrible coach here)" deflection, but the bottom line is that your contention that the Bills will be "instant contenders" with Rex isn't supported by any objective, clear-headed assessment of his coaching record.

    actually it is but you don't understand what you are watching so you don't get it.

    junc . . . despite all of the bravado and empty promises, the guy has lost more games than he has won over a six year period. Rex hasn't coached a "contender" since the end of the first half of the Obama administration. He's a cheer-leading, defensive-oriented, player's coach going to a team that had a top 3 defense this past season and still has no proven quarterback. Stop sniffing glue.

    again, he went under .500 this disastrous season where we had safeties playing corner on opening day and Geno running the show on offense.

    He hasn't had contender talent since 2011 and we missed the playoffs by a game in 2011. He has contender talent now and more talent defensively than he ever had here.

    The Jets weren't the only team playing with bums in the secondary. And it isn't just about this past season. It's about the last four seasons of non-winning, non-playoff football. It's about 18-33 in his last 51 games. It's about the constant empty words and hot air. It's about the fact that we were in desperate need of a culture change, both in the front office and in the locker-room.

    He has no proven quarterback and no proven passing game. And again, the Bills were already an elite defensive team. Their problems were on offense . . . So, they brought in Rex.

    we had many issues and Rex and his staff did a poor job this season- the first time we could really say that. the last 4 seasons feature 2 of the best coaching jobs I have ever seen(2012 & 2013).

    they have the pieces around the QB, all they need is a competent QB- nothing special.

    the whole offensive or defensive HC thing is silly. It's about bringing in the best guy and Rex was the best guy on the market. Buffalo hit a HR for the first time in a long time.

    Nonsense. No coach in the NFL does a good job in three straight years of non-playoff football. I don't buy it. And you can claim that 2012 and 2013 were two of "the best" coaching jobs you have ever seen, but just don't expect to be taken seriously.


    We have no idea who the best coach is going to be from this market. It's a market populated with trendy coordinators with no NFL head coaching experience. One of those guys could be the next John Harbaugh. We have no idea.

    I am taken seriously by those that know the game, he did an outstanding job those 2 seasons. Anyone w/ the slightest bit of football knowledge will tell you that.

    what is the point of your last sentence?

    You can keep hiding behind your "I know the game" deflection, but it doesn't impress anyone. I'll write it again, there is no logically coherent, objective assessment of Rex's coaching record that suggests he is immediately going to turn the Bills into serious contenders. He might get them there one day, but if he does, it's because he found an offensive system and a quarterback to compliment his ALREADY strong defense . . . something he never truly accomplished in New York.

    The point of my last sentence was to reiterate something that, while very obvious, seems to be ignored very often by people who spend half of their time reminding the rest of us about their superior knowledge of the game.

    talk to anyone who knows the game then get back to me.

    he had a good offense his first few years and made title games then changes started happening getting rod of Schottenheimer, Callahan, Sanchez, Braylon, Cotch, etc...

    that last sentence had nothing to do with any of these discussions.

    Again, if you actually felt that confident in your supposed elite football knowledge, you wouldn't feel the need to incessantly write about it. You are overcompensating and revealing your personal insecurity. Basic psychology, buddy.

    He had a good running game and played around a very mediocre quarterback. We've had this song and dance.

    What are you babbling about? My point was that none of us has any idea how any of these first time coaches are going to turn out . . . how does that have "nothing to do with any of these discussions?"

    he had a good offense especially in 2010 where the pass game led the O.
