Why The AFCE loves Rex Ryan

Just facts, no opinion, draw your own conclusions.

As a HC Rex Ryan's w/l record in division games is 15-22

Since the start of 2012, in AFCE games Rex Ryan is 6-13.
In those 19 games, he has allowed an average of 27.2 ppg.
For perspective of how much that is, over that time period, only 1 team has allowed a higher ppg (over all their games), the Raiders.

These facts will upset the many Rex Ryan should be our DC fans here.

My conclusion is, I enjoy the mismatch of having Ryan on the other sideline and BB on NE's.

First we'd have to be sure he's loved in the AFCE.

He's loved then because the media portrays him as being loved and that's because he gives them great tag lines for their use and consumption by the masses. i.e. He's entertaining.

Clearly this can't be true, because we've been told again and again that Ryan is a defensive genius whose achilles heel is developing offensive talent.

Brady killed them yesterday. I think the Bills are going to start going downhill after this beatdown.

Misleading stats. Since 2012 Rex is
1-6 vs Pats (with the one win needing a ref assist to do a FG retry)
5-7 vs Buffalo/Miami

Fair point, but let's not act like this is some kind of accomplishment either.

It's difficult to say who's more overrated, Rex or Rob.

NOT TRUE.......... Rex Ryan is.......... {and I hesitate to use such such language on this show} a GENIUS. I know this because Skip Bayless uttered these exact words less then 72 hrs ago. His defenses absolutely befuddle Tom Brady. Befuddle I tell ya. You all just leave Sexy Rexy alone.

How is that misleading? Are you telling me 5-7 against teams that didn't make the playoffs is a feather in his cap?

Rex is 12-12 versus Buffalo and Miami. He's 3-10 versus us. Let's not fudge stats around here to prove points, especially after the offseason we endured of people doing it to us. We're better than that.

How is stating his record in the division 'fudging stats'?
What is incorrect about the fact that he has a 6-13 record in the division since 2012?
Are you telling me that getting destroyed by one division opponent and being around .500 against the poor ones is something good?
Of course the fact that his system is exposed and his teams have digressed over time makes it instructive to look at the last 3 years. I'm not sure why you have a problem dealing with the reality here.

Going .500 against the division is what's known as parity and is supposed to happen. Unless you're the New England Patriots, that is.

He's not .500 against the division. He is 15-22 against the division.
Parity doesn't mean you are .500 against bad teams and get destroyed by good ones.
15-22 is the equaivalent of about 6.5-9.5 in a 16 games season, to put it in perspective.

What you are saying is "Team X" has gone 5-5 every year against bad teams and 1-5 or 2-4 against good, and that means they are average. Not the case.

Just to add to the point, in the "Rex years" the Fins were 43-53 overall and the Bills were 37-59.
So he was .500 against teams that were otherwise 68-100. (The equivalent of 6.5-9.5 over a 16 game season)
So if he were 'average' he should have gone 14-10 or 15-9 vs those teams.

rex needs to be either in the AFC north to tangle with tomlin and harbaugh or in th eNFC west to make jokes about pete carroll and jeff fisher

Rex shouldn't be a HC. I'm not sure he should even be a DC, given that his system is figured out and he is too stubborn to know it.
