Are you partially rooting for Rex now?

I'm not asking if you are going to get a Mario Williams jersey and openly root for the Bills, but I am wondering if anyone is kind of hoping they are decent and ultimately make the playoffs or even eventually win a Super Bowl (at no expense to the Pats, that is.)

I mean, we have all put up with Rex's amusing bluster and laughed at his failures while with the Jets, but how great would it be to see the Jets let another one go? I think many teams let go of their coaches too soon and Rex had no business being fired for a complete lack of talent and support. Their problems were never about player motivation, gameplanning, other coaching intangibles.

Already, their greatest successor coach in history has gone to their biggest rival and won FOUR Super Bowls, they watched TWO former coaches square off this year, their greatest player in franchise history has gone to their biggest rival and won a Super Bowl in his first year, they barely missed on trading for Brett Favre in the early nineties, and there are dozens of other gaffes that have caused the fans to be the conniving, mindless chumps that they are today.

So, let's suppose the Patriots are out of the hunt in a given year and the Bills are still standing. Are you at least somewhat rooting for them?

I'm sure many will say that you can hate both the Bills and Jets, which is true, but let's face it, the Jets deserve the brunt of our collective fan hatred, and there would be nothing worse at this moment than them watching Rex win with a division rival (nothing worse, that is, than living in the day-to-day apocalyptic, haunting reality as they suffer in the dark shadow of the Patriots' championship reign.)

No.

No.

Not even a little bit...

Nope.

You're giving me uncomfortable thoughts. But I can agree I'd gain some enjoyment in seeing him beat the Jets twice a year, but that's where it would end. (Goodell and Kensil tipped the scales for me; and NEVER winning a Superbowl)

I thought we were all in agreement - the Jets are the franchise you hate, the Bills are the franchise you feel sorry for.

I think I officially disagree with every single word of the OP.

I only have room in my heart for one former Jet, and his name is Revis. Unless he walks, then screw that mother****er.

$#@! no. I went from having the Bills as kind of a pet team to putting them in my Top 5 most hated teams based upon nothing but his hire. I hope he figures out a way to go 0-17.

There is a former Jet who currently coaches the team.

really?

The Bills have always been the underdog team I rooted for every time they weren't playing the Pats. I feel for their fans and openly hoped that they would get to the playoffs. Their fans deserve it...... AND then they hired Rex. .

I think he is the luckiest HC in the league to get as far as he did in those first 2 years. The last 4 showed his real colors. The Bills just flat out made a big mistake. They would have been better off with Bowles, and I could have rooted for them then.

Rex is a VERY flawed HC, who hasn't taken any accountability for his mistakes. In that way he is very much like the mediots who protect him. Rex hasn't seen anyone he WOULDN'T throw under the bus, players, coaches, bosses, etc. With Rex at the helm, I can't get by my distain for him, and can't wait for the "Bills suck" thread to get started.

I was able to make it all the way to "Rex had no business being fired" before laughing hysterically and wondering about your judgment.

I could never get myself to root for Ryan, even if I tried.

EWWW, cheering for Rex,gross.

No.

No

HELL NO

I USED to be a Bills fan as my 2nd team. No more with Rex whom I despise.

That's a big 10-74 (negative)
