I thought he was hamstrung in jersey by poor GMS who didn't give him any good offensive players. Despite that, Rex's teams always seemed competitive (especially against the Patriots) and his players never gave up on him.
But after seeing the Bills this year I've changed my mind about Rex. The undisciplined players, Rex admitting that he was still thinking about the Patriots 2 weeks after the game, and now him saying that he doesn't mind the penalties....all signs of a poorly coached team. I think that once Rex is fired in Buffalo he will go back to being a defensive coordinator.
Can this guy ever end a sentence without saying "or whatever," or "and things like that," or some variation? Listen to a press conference of his sometime if you can stomach it...every single answer.The idiocy in Buffalo continues, and Rex continues to provide comedic relief of his inability to manage a team..of course he takes a dig at the officials, does that effect the integrity of the "Shield"???..
"It is more probable than not" that Rex will continue with his rhetoric, how many personal fouls does it take for Rex to take a player off of the field???.. It is easier to blame the officials than to take responsible for crappy coaching.
Can you imagine how pissed BB would be if his team averaged 104 yards of penalties per game??..
“I’m proud of the way this team played. Can we play a lot smarter? Absolutely. But I’ll take a team that’ll fight over a team that will sit back and take it every day of the week and bring on the next team. Give me a team that’s got some fight and will compete to the very end right, wrong or indifferent no matter how good the officiating is or whatever.”
I feel some sympathy for the Bills fans. They didn't deserve what they had handed to them. I wonder which team will bring him in next?
After Buffalo’s Week 2 loss to the Patriots, a game in which the Bills were called for 18 penalties (with 14 accepted for 140 yards), Rex Ryan spoke about the team’s need to get more disciplined. “We want to be the least penalized team in the league,” Ryan said. “That’s kind of a goal we’re shooting for moving forward.” How’s that working out?

If you read a Bills message board and their hard on for the Pats, you probably would change your mind. The Bills fans do deserve Rex.
He WAS trying to do what he did with his first NYJ's teams, and that was ride someone else's good talent into a couple of good years (2) before reaching his true level, which was somewhat below .500. Almost all the good talent on that team was accumulated by the former regime, PLUS several good FA signings that were none of his doing.
Thus far, by any fair accounting his team has WELL under performed, if you consider there talent level. He beat up 2 horrible teams that are lucky to have 3 wins between them, and lost 2 games at home. One to a middling team, and other to a good team.
His teams have lost for the same reasons Rex's teams have always lost. He doesn't pay attention to the details that win games and his teams are undisciplined and unfocused. I no longer believe he's some kind of defensive "genius". The Pat's not only beat him regularly, the score over 30 a great deal of the time.
The Pats have given the blue print for beating that defense, and the Giants used just a portion of it, and if they were just slightly better, they would have crushed the Bills .......on the road.
