Do you actually think Rex will get fired after 1 year? If they lose to Washington this week that frying pan is going to get white Hot. And to think the players were throwing him under the bus when they were winning.

he has something like a 5 year 30 million dollar deal

I think pegula likes the attention and sold out seats as much as anything

no way he gets fired for another 2 years at least

Yes, I can agree with this. My whole point was that the Bills don't owe Marrone an apology before going off on this tangent. 

Marrone either thought or was led to think he was a lock for the Jets job. There is some crazy story we don't know about and may never know.Because makes no sense otherwise.

normally I'd think not but Rex's problem is that he is a "defensive specialist" and he inherited a top 5 defense that is now ranked 20th.  That's just a bad look.  At the same time, the whole "bully" thing from last spring has blown up in Rex's face and they are the 2nd most penalized team in the league.  The fans may want blood here.

GM Doug Whaley basically gave Rex carte blanche with personnel and brought in all the "Rex guys" he could.  That power may need to be reigned in.  The new owner could find himself in an awkward situation where he could force a new GM on Rex (didn't work the first time) or have to part ways with Rex and the GM and start fresh (the tougher, but better approach in the long run).

If they somehow get a 2nd year, they should overhaul that entire o-line and bring in disciplined guys who don't hold.  Also, Tyrod Taylor has good stats but on the field I just don't see a guy I'm confident can win in the modern NFL where there is such an emphasis on timing in the passing game.  Expect Rex to go all-in for Peyton Manning if he's available.

Sounds like Marrone bet the farm on the idea of being an NYC hometown hero and had previously buttered up Woody, and it went splat when Woody woke up and hired Ron Wolf and Casserly.  The interview supposedly did not go well.  I wonder why?  Because this time there were actually "football guys" asking the questions, not a clueless boardroom billionaire or executive search firm.

Doug Marrone just comes off like a disloyal guy for what he did to the Bills.  NFL head coaching jobs are hard to come by.  He had one and was having success, but he got greedy and wanted to coach in a specific situation, believing that Woody Johnson was under his spell.  The guy thought he was Bill Parcells or something.

Marrone walked away with full pay after exercising his clause in the contract. He's got a job, and in 2 years he'll easily get a HC job in the NFL again. I don't think his decision had to do with the Jets at all. I think he wanted to distance himself from BUF before it became a true career killer.

The way the Bills have looked this year should actually help Marrone get another job in the future. He can now say look what happened to the Bills after I left with virtually the same team.  May not have looked good at the time with Marrone not landing a HC job but in the long run this may work out great for him especially considering he's doubling up on paychecks with the Bills and Jags.

Did LeSean McCoy return to Buffalo with the Bills? Rex Ryan isn't saying.

"You know, I'm not going to get into all that kind of stuff about, you know, is this right? Is that right? It is what it is," Ryan said Monday, via The Buffalo News. "I'm not going to say if he did or he didn't."

 

So sounds like McCoy did not come back with the team.  Rex showing once again he is right ion top of things related to his team.

Saw a report that said he stayed in Philly to party with his ex-teammates.

I mean, as bad as this sounds... I assume he has Monday off and has friends in Philly.  Is this really a problem?

Now why didn't Rex say that?  "LeSean?  Well the team has Monday off and we gave him permission to stay in Philly to clean up some things and he will be rejoining us on Tuesday."  Instead we get his quote which pretty well indicates that he has no clue where McCoy is or why he did not come back with the team.

No not really, however I know a lot of teams have a pretty steadfast "rule" that you travel with the team both to and from games.  If he had permission before the game this should be a moot issue, however why wouldn't Rex just say that then?

Certainly.  Rex buffooning his way through this is unsurprising.

By itself? No. But Rex handled Percy Harvin's AWOL situation the same way, and McCoy (with Rex's blessing) just got done giving the Buffalo press the finger right before this, so they're getting their pound of flesh now.

From the Bills Facebook page (cut and pasted from another site):  My favorite is the one at the very bottom.

 

hilarious. You gotta give em their props, took them merely 1 season to learn that rex is a fraud.  took us a lot longer. 

 

Funniest (and most poignant) line was The Bills need a coach NOT A CAR SALESMAN. Ryan is merely a showman. 

Thank goodness we have a real coach now

It took us a lot longer because he got us to back to back AFC Championship games. 

Rex has taken a 9-7 playoff caliber team and he'll be lucky to get 8-8 in year 1. Plus they have they have the benefit of looking at his history hear to form an opinion that we did not

he doesn't really 'handle' anything. That's what being a "players's coach" is all about. He lets the dogs off the leash and doesn't give a **** about them taking a whizz on the neighbors' newly mowed lawn or them trying to hump the old lady's poodle. 

Accountability and standards are replaced with high fives, fist bumps, sentences ending with the word 'buddy', and B-grade movie-script-worthy cliches. This is the rex Ryan way. 

even high school coaches would know how to keep their players in line. They would know how to specifically plan for the next week. Rex is a walking, talking punchline that everyone has read a thousand times, how NFL teams continue to hire this guy is a mystery to me. It's an example of the nepotism that ruins America.

should have fired him after the 2012 season.

Maybe so, but that doesn't mean the Bills fans should get any credit for turning on him in year 1. Huge difference between what he did with the teams in his first year, plus the Bills fans have the benefit of hindsight

Rivers just turned 34 years old.

 

He will still be a decent QB for the next 2 or 3 years.

 

Chargers will not leave SD.

 

You do know Chargers are fully committed to move to LA with Raiders if enough teams approve ...

 

 

If they do happen to move, word has it that Rivers will not go with them. Does not want to relocate at all.

Can't blame him, he has like, 8 kids. 

Rivers never said that and if the Chargers do move to LA they'll still be the "local" team if his family stays in SD. 

 

saban is,going to Indy...

Maybe. His #1 requirement is a franchise QB. He wanted Brees in Miami but the team refused and insisted his career was over. 

They gave Saban Culpepper instead. So in reality they jerked Saban around, not the other way as perceived. Brees moved on to New Orleans ...
