If Rex wasn't coaching in our division I think it wouldn't be as much an issue as it is, but playing him 2x a season will always keep Rex looming large over this franchise.
There was a combination of things that did Rex in. I don't think these things will change. Once pieces on his defense start to fall to age or free agency his Bills will crumble. Rex is a great short term coach when the roster is built for him. - The deterioration of the roster which I don't think you can really dispute is his fault. Coaches have some say in the construction of the roster and I don't really care what anyone says. I don't know whose call it was but getting rid of three of Sanchez' too four targets going into 2011 may have killed his career more than anything else. - Piss poor game management. Very simple. Bad challenges, the misuse of timeouts, stupid undisciplined penalties by his teams. It took away one last possession at times for our times because if we didn't stop them before the two minute warning with our one remaining timeout the game was over. - Lack of in-game adjustments. The classic "this is my gameplan and we're going to use it all game regardless." I don't think he's a bad head coach but I do think he's one of the worst at changing on the fly based on what the other team is showing him. They're completing short passes over the middle?! Let's blitz 8 instead of 7. They're taking away the run up the middle? Jam it down their throats! - Bad roster growth on the offensive side of the football. No need to explain. - Loyalty to older players. This lead to the lack of growth for the bottom half of the roster. Rex stayed with "his guy" regardless if they were producing or not.
I view Rex the same way I looked at Pennington when he went to the Dolphins. I'm rooting for him in any situation that is not at the Jets expense. Not important anymore.
Some fans saw it coming. Needing 1 win in the last 3 weeks of 2011 to make the playoffs only to lose all three is normally a damnable offense for head coaches. Three non-winning seasons later we now know why.
Back to back AFCC and how many of our coaches have done that? Rex was destroyed by Tannenbaum, the guy who fell on his ass trying to catch a football on Hard Knocks. In year 3, when he replaced the whole offense with plaxico burress. And drove the nail in year 4 with the Tebow Circus. neither rex, nor sanchez, could come back from that bafoonery.
Yea especially if the Bills blow us out ....I can't lie this offense against there defense scares me....Fitzpatrick against that defense isn't gonna be a fun day
agree totally with the premise...its time to move away from Rex. The rest is history that does not need to be regurgitated anymore.
