I'll always like Rex, his big mouth gets him into trouble, he's not a good head coach, this group didn't mesh with him at all, but he is a heck of a DC and his D staff has shown chops when they went on their own. D just bitched for 2 straight seasons. Rob had nothing to do with this shit show but somehow he gets thrown under the bus. I'm glad Rex went down with Tyrod, much respect to him for that.
This org is fucking trash and I will no longer actively cheer for them until we clean everyone out, I mean everyone. All I want is Pegula and no one else below him, the rest should be on the street, start fresh. Until that happens I'm not paying money to watch them play, simple as that.
Worst part about Rex in Buffalo was that I THOUGHT he would destroy the AFC East with the talent the Bills had on defense, even if the offense didn't perform well. Yet that D actually declined under him. That's how I knew he was cooked as a coach.
Same here. I'm still kind of stunned he never did anything with that defense considering the amount of talent they had on that side of the ball when he arrived.
He came in at a bad time, guys got older, guys got paid and didn't care or had personal issues, and we had no safeties or LBs, killed him. Everyone thinks Rex is this big oaf, but his D is complex, these morons couldn't grasp it, or rather couldn't play in it, and his biggest weakness was not adjusting or rather over adjusting. We completely stopped blitzing this year after we got torched early in the year, then we stopped playing the run because we couldn't load up the box. Just a mess. Give credit to Pettine, he had similar issues early, and just started playing cover 4/2/and variations. Schwartz came in and ran the same stuff with even less blitzing.
