Seems like they're bringing McCoy back early from his hamstring problems. After their early season success trotting him out at less than 100%, who can argue with their plan.
I just ready Rexy the fraud's teams are 2-16 after wins dating back to 2012. 2-17 after today? Stay tuned!
Yeah 2-17
So what are the chances he takes the credit for the Jets being 4-1 while the Bills have regressed?

It is amazing to me that Bills fans were excited about Rex. They faced the fraud twice a season for the last however many years. Seems as if they are figuring out now though.

They were moving on from Doug Marrone.
I wouldn't say that Rex is a fraud. He's a good defensive coach whose teams perform erratically. I think it was reasonable for Bills fans to hope that Rex had learned a thing or two his first time around (when he had a shitty organization around him and a series of crappy GMs) and that he'd make some changes in his second go round.
Of course they'd be wrong.

Do you think anyone will notice this? I mean, Doug Marrone was no genius and the Bills talent is better this year than last. And yet....(to be fair the Jets talent is better, too).
This is just so Rex. I hate to play the BB card....but, can anyone imagine BB saying anything like this? Next man up is a cliche, but it's a cliche with a purpose. Rex both pushing injured players onto the field, causing them to get further injured, and then whining like this is just unprofessional and debilitating.
edit: debilitating to his players' spirits, that is. No sense of faith in the reserves. No sense they are expected to stand up and deliver. Very similar to criticism earlier in this thread about how he egotistically took "all the blame" on his shoulders. It's always all about Rex. Not that a coach shouldn't take responsibility, but the way he did it was make his players less than responsible. Same here.
Rex is the King of excuse-making. He doesn't have the humility to excel in this league, because he doesn't have it in him to identify his flaws and address them. That's what I really loved about "Do Your Job;" they interviewed the assistants who to a man talked about how Belichick was not just willing to hear differing to hear new viewpoints, but sought them out. Rex had tunnel vision, and if his plan isn't working, he'll be damned if there isn't something beyond his control getting in the way.
Rex' only coaching technique is making sure it's never his fault when things go wrong. He's a Ryan, that's what they do.
He took over a team that had gone 9-7 with with the 4th best D in the league and mediocrities at coach and QB. He ran his mouth and got his idiot fans and ownership excited, and here they are at 3-3 looking far worse than they did last year and showing no discipline whatsoever. And his first reaction is to make sure he doesn't take any heat.

I generally agree with the opinions about Ryan.
However, they have three losses: to the 4-0 Patriots, to the 3-2 Giants*, and to the 6-0 Bengals. Of course, their wins were against a Colts team that was (and may still be) a mess at the time, the Dolphins (ibid), and the 1-4 Titans. I think their flaws are as real as their strengths, and thus are not a playoff team, but I also think that many - especially Bills fans, according to the few threads I looked at on their board - are overreacting.
* the Giants two losses are a 1-pt loss to the Cowboys who still had Romo and Bryant, and a 4-pt loss to the 5-1 Falcons.

They gave up 40 to NWE, 24 to the Giants and 34 today. Their defense has sucked donkey balls. Their wins as noted have come against awful teams in disarray.
They are frauds just like their coach.

On the Pats pregame Bert Breer let it be known that Mario Williams pointed a finger directly at the coaching staff after the game.

What @viccarucci tweeted is accurate, btw. Harvin frustrated by another hip injury. NFL career's been rocky. Not feeling football right now.

Percy Harvin increasingly frustrated w/ hip + knee injuries expected to sideline him indefinitely, per sources. Not considering retirement.

Hope he stays around just long enough to collect the remaining $4.5m, and do very little for the Bills rest of the season.
With his continuous injury issues, not sure if Harvin could contribute even if he wanted to.
As some have noted in the media, note the Bills put it down as personal reasons and not football injury related.
It sounds like the Bills and Harvin are probably going to be heading towards a fight over whether that 4.5 million gets paid or returned if he keeps acting up.

That was one short honeymoon. Too bad the owners didn't have a pre-nup in his contract. Idiots. Suckers. Fools.
@GlobeChadFinn: It's like the Bills are trying to pack the entire Rex Ryan Jets experience into a half-season.Smiling Joe Hesketh said:

Well put.
Wow. How embarrassing. The Bills never should have let this get out. But, they probably didn't understand what was wrong with the communications (whoever thinks to check the batteries?) and complained to the officials in game. Once that happened, the league investigated and was like "Ummm. I think it's your batteries, dude."
Oh it gets even better: Rex tried to troll Doug Marrone (former Bills coach, now the Jags' offensive line coach) by sending out his entire offensive line as captains for the game-opening coin toss.
Someone should remind Rex that amateurish petty bullshit like that is only entertaining when you don't promptly lose to one of the worst fuckin' teams in the whole league.
He will never, ever get it.

I absolutely think he's a candidate to get fired if they don't turn things around.
A month ago, there was still talk that the Bills were a playoff team with a top 3 NFL defense.
Now, local reporters are saying:
Ryan's in a pickle, because people in Buffalo don't rely on tabloid newspapers that have to share sports sections with 8 other local teams, and a bad game or two usually results in just not being mentioned on the front page. Likewise, he can't make a big splash by saying something *outrageous* and expect to have his giant fucking mug plastered on the back page of the Post.
The local scribes in Buffalo have nowhere else to go, and if the Bills stink, that's a story. The Sabres aren't going to save his ass by taking away the headlines.

Rex will get a second year but if he doesn't turn it around next year he will be gone. It would mirror what he dad did with the Eagles. Have success in first stop (Eagles for Buddy, Jets for Rex) and suck at second stop (Cardinals for Buddy, Bills possible for Rex)
Sure seems like Rex needed some time out of the league or coaching a defense for awhile before getting a second chance as a head coach. He seems like he's doubling down on all his worst characteristics as a coach and, unlike in NY, it doesnt seem the players even really want to play for him.
From that article, Bills DB Stephon Gilmore said that from watching film before the game, the Jags WRs couldn't get off the LOS.
The Jags have 2 legit WRs, both on target for about 70 catches, 1000 yards, and 10+ TDs. Both are in the top 10 in the NFL in yards/catch, and #2 and #4 in the AFC. But when the Bills watched them on film, they didn't think they could get off the LOS.

It seems that Rex puts a major focus in internal communications on belittling opponents and pumping up his own players , probably to help build their confidence. Brady gets scared and plays like shit if you hit him, I don't even need to know Dion Lewis's name, and the Jacksonville receivers can't get off the line, and this could be the greatest NFL defense of all time. Maybe that helps you play with confidence, but you would think that he'd lose credibility when the players realize that Brady is actually pretty decent and Rex is full of shit and,oh yeah, this defense isn't even as good as it was last year.
I don't think Rex gets a second year here unless he turns it around. So I guess I'm saying he's fired at the end of the year.
Another Rexy sucks article.

Because the organization is so unstable and dysfunctional that their last head coach walked away from a 9-7 team even though he had no other head coach or even coordinator job lined up.Ed Hillel said:
