isired Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 Curious... I know some people felt strongly that Rex was not the problem, and frustration with the team - owner, stadium, front office, roster, draft, etc. - is at or near an all time high. Pair that with the fact that he's still in New York, for the geographic fan... Did anyone consider making the jump? Or bump the Bills up in their pecking order? It's pretty inconceivable to me to change allegiances... And admitting to it here is another thing altogether. But I don't think Rex was at the top of the list of the problems I'd point to as the reason we stunk this year. BUT, I also think he had to go. You can only survive so many housecleanings. And he's not yet a good game manager, and his issues on the offensive side of the ball speak for themselves - which is one reason I question the Bills' choice - they are, for all intents, the 2013 Jets. Stout D, no QB, no O. But part of me definitely worries that we may have placed another Ace in the hand of a division rival. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoeC36 Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 I don't like to negotiate in public, but Billszone.com offered me a pretty nice package to moderate their forums. I'm waiting to see if Max is willing to at least match their offer. But right now I am staying put. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I'm not mistaken we have a couple former Jets fans who pull for the Browns and Packers now but they still hang around here for the camaraderie. It's an idea I can't wrap my head around but not everybody can deal with the stuff this team puts us through. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pac Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 Rex will be in Rochester this weekend with Sammy Watkins. Some promotional tour stop or something.

I'm betting Todd Bowles is working at his office getting our improved coaching staff in place and evaluating players on the roster Some coaches work at coaching. Others prefer media campaign tours, pressers and insider calls to Manish Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustInFudge Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 Apparently if you ever said anything nice about Rex or wish him well, you hate the Jets and love the Bills. So yes, there are ton of ex-Jet now Bills fans. I'm not one though, nope. I <3 the Jets 4eva. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His bosses are sending him out to sell tickets. I don't think he requested to stand out on Main St in Rochester on a Saturday night in January.

If Rex had gone to Atlanta, I might have liked the Falcons as distant second team in the NFC. No way I can wish him any luck with the Bills Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beerfish Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 In general a good number of people in this fan base are phonies as far as how they feel about our dreaded afc rivals. I still remember people fellating Jason freaking Taylor when he was 1st rumored to be coming to the Jets as if he was 'weighing his options'. One of the bibbest putzes of an opponent and people were falling all over themselves. Same with Goggles Sparano, awful coach with an awful rival and all sorts of posts musing how good he was going to be for the Jets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
