    just saying it's the players that matter, if you have them you win and if you don't you don't.

    Yeah plus he was a guy who called out Gholston in a classroom session waving a paper with his combine numbers on it in his face. Because he was the butt who lobbied to draft him.

    Fans are also condescending doofs.

    This is very good news. More evidence the circus has left town.

    Rex changed a ton from the day he got here to the day he left. Kind of like a dog when it has nuts to a dog when it doesn't have nuts. There was a time when Rex drew the line in the sand friend/enemy. Now, him and belli were all cozy walking into the combine together tow-n-tow; real adversaries. Rex is a doormat to Bellichick; he kissed those rings hardcore; gave 'em a good suck down.

    Fat Rex > Lap band surgery Rex .. that surgery was his neutering.

    Changing the way he was to the media is not the same thing.

    Yup. That is why his team got worse and worse. There was leftover Mangini accountability and some good veterans on the team, mixed with Rex's "breath of fresh air" motivation, (as well as some new progressive defensive schemes).

    That's why 2010 worked. But then Holmes as a captain, and as the inmates began to run the asylum, it all went to shit.

    That's why I think the Bills will have a good year, but the longer Rex has his fingerprints on the team, the worse they will get.

    Its actually worse when you consider 1 lose was to the bills in a neutral site after the bills were snowed in all week and couldn't practice and had to be picked up on snowmobiles to fly out of town for what should have been a home game.than there was the trip to dave n busters coming off the bye and getting smacked by the bills.

    Maybe hell be better with the bills. I always liked rex but after a while it was clear he was just as much a part of the problem as the roster was.

    He probably lost alot of his high blood pressure resulting in a more docile rex

    This is what I want to forget: those 2 years of winning were followed by pathetic football and dropping this franchise to the very low echelon of the NFL. The "great" things he did are miniscule compared to the damage he did in all areas of this team. I don't care to list everything...and to be honest, you and everyone else can rattle off about a hundred miscues with the Jets. He didn't leave the Jets in a better position then when he came in. In fact he managed to truly make us look pretty pathetic.

    I honestly belive Rex simply just didn't care anymore last season because he knew he was in a no win situation.But I'm not gonna write Bowles hall of fame speach because he holds guys accountable in the no pressure "show up if you want to" early offseason work outs

    I would trade the entire coaching staff for a franchise QB

    I've read many of your comments and I would trade your entire existence for a better background theme on this forum. You are stupid and not intelligent and maybe some day you could add depth to a children's forum here but right now you are not worth anything

    Yeah and an inept GM and owner didn't do anythinggggg to make us look pathetic. It was all Rex. Wow.

    Fans can cream over the way the roster looks now but if Rex was still the coach no one here would feel any more of less optimistic about our chances this year.
