He also measure top 10 defense by yards not points. He has not been in the top 10 on defense by points nearly as frequently (4 out of 11 years, and none recently)

And of course the point is to give up the fewest yards, not points....no wait, that's actually not the point at all.
It's almost as if he's lying in order to make himself look good!

Don't forget they're old. Who knows what the protocol was at whatever baby factory mrs Ryan shat them out in.
He seriously said that?
That is simply pathetic that he knows where his defense had ranked every year and that he knows how many yards another team gave up to the Patriots.
Not surprising nor is it that he would use it to try to make himself look better. Just goes to show you his focus. All about feeding the ego. Results are secondary.
Rex and Rob together again!!!!

Rob Ryan, the former New Orleans Saints defensive coordinator who was fired in November, will be joining the Bills as assistant head coach for defense after Rex Ryan hired him Sunday.
"I'm excited to have Rob join our staff, and I think he will be a great asset for our defense," Rex Ryan said in a statement. "He has a tremendous working knowledge of our schemes, and I look forward to his input."
This could be fun and has all the elements for a remake of the old Patty Duke Show

You realize that thy last 40 or so posts have been discussing that?
You just did your own "CNN is reporting..." joke.
I was aware there was a lot of TIC, Ryan reunion speculation here, but nothing official. I was listening to WFAN/Francesa today and they announced it, and i saw the ESPN story had just been posted, so...
Either Daniel James has a chubby guy fetish or he knows jackshit about football.
I actually got into this debate with a Non-Pats fan recently. I honestly don't remember who his team was, but it's beside the point. I'd never really considered it much before but I think there's legitimate consideration owed to the fact that the Pats consistency and dominance has in fact furthered the crap produced by the rest of the division. It's generally held that front office and coaching stability leads to success or at least competency in the NFL, even though some teams can't resist change. And the afc east has been a turnstile on those fronts. The argument could be made that it's just ineptitude of the other teams. Or, it could be made that it's a direct result of the Pats being so good all the time and they are forcing that change. Not sure how much merit that stance has, but it's there at some level.

This should be compared to that of the other divisions minus the one team in each division that has been the most successful over that time period. Maybe I'll do that while waiting for the game to start.

I looked into this a while ago. Far easier to show that the Pats' non-division record is pretty much the same winning percentage as their in-division record (roughly .750 for both since 2009, typically a 12-4 year).
If the Pats' division sucks that means the rest of the NFL sucks as well, because the Pats thump both at roughly the same rate.
The divisional argument holds no water, and people who use it are big stupidheads who should be sterilized so their stupidity doesn't pass down to the next generation.

It's the dumbest argument ever because if the Pats had an exaggerated record because of a poor division then surely they would have been exposed year after year come playoff time.
Like the Colts.
Like the Colts.
Devil's advocate--it's like 3 posts above yours.
The East, minus NE, wins 47% of their games outside the division--only one AFC division wins more often.
Bills hire a female coach
Per a source with knowledge of the situation, the Bills have hired Kathryn Smith to serve as a special teams quality control coach. She becomes the first full-time female assistant coach in NFL history.
The position was made official with the league office on Tuesday, and the Bills have not yet issued a formal announcement of the move.
Smith worked as the administrative assistant to coach Rex Ryan in 2015, a position she also held during Ryan’s final year with the Jets. Before that, she spent seven years as a player personnel assistant with the Jets. Previously, she was a game day/special events intern and a college scouting intern.

Thanks for the chuckle. But in all seriousness, I never thought of Rex as such a progressive type that would make this kind of move. Good for him and them.
Funny you should say that. When NFL.com first reported her hire on their website Wednesday, this was the last line:
"Smith has her foot in the door and hopefully gets the opportunity to climb up the coaching ladder. If she does, she'll break ground each step of the way."

Maybe I am reading too much into this (Ala Welker) but I am still amazed at the free reign the Jet's loving writers and twitter handler's have. I can't imagine what the coverage will be like if the Jet's ever win a game in the playoffs.. God help us.
Hate to say it, but gotta give Rex kudos as well. Fortunately, he still sucks as a coach....but it is good to see that sort of barrier broken in a small way.
I don't think you are reading anything into that. It's really not cool for those jokes to be made in a more or less league-sanctioned forum. It's entirely unprofessional and sophomoric. (Shocking, I know.)
EDIT: To be clear, I mean that those references are being made in an ARTICLE on the league website. Shots from the cheap seats on message boards (or even the Welker PC) and whatever else are a different thing entirely.
Not everyone thinks this is a good thing: http://www.cleveland.com/browns/index.ssf/2016/01/cleveland_radio_host_calls_kathryn_smith_hiring_absurd.html
Sounds like KILEY is doing more than his part in "setting them up to fail."
Edit auto fucking correct

If you're playing with 10 men on special teams you are setting your team up to fail. Hopefully she knows the rules better than Kiley.
This is the same guy who thought it was a terrible idea for the NFL to hire Sarah Thomas as a ref:

He is consistent anyway. Jackass.

Bills running back LeSean McCoy allegedly assaulted two off-duty cops at a Philly club early Sunday morning, sending the cops to the hospital.
McCoy and an unidentified friend got into a physical altercation with the two cops, according to WPVI-TV, Philly’s ABC affiliate. McCoy and his friend were not arrested but are the target of a police investigation, WPVI reported.
It’s not clear what sparked the altercation at Recess Lounge in Old City or if McCoy knew the two men were cops.

Sounds like a bar fight that happened to be with two off duty cops. So it's not assaulting a police officer dumb. It's just stupid to get into a bar fight dumb.
ANY time you get into a fight with club/bar security it's a no-win situation. Someone is going to jail and it ain't gonna be the security or the off duty cops. Nothing good happens at 2:45 am in a bar fight.
Nothing like being arrested and charged with aggravated assault over campaign.

It doesn't sound like they got into the fight with security tho. Just two guys who happened to be off duty cops. Then security came in. Unless I'm reading it wrong.
