Are we better off now?

I guess the most positive thing that comes out of these two hirings is that both guys are from New Jersey. It's one thing to go half way across the country and screw up, but if you screw up in your back yard it's something else entirely.

For those nostalgic for Rex (and Idzik), I can only say that the Buffalo game in Detroit sealed the deal for me. For a team coming off a big upset, a bye week, playing a team that had to give up home field advantage and then give a performance like the one we witnessed, is inexcusable and can only be laid at the feet of the coaching staff.

 

Rex was horrible after the bye week. Add in his awful head to head record against Miami. These were big problems.

 

Love the direction we're heading with a lifetime personnel guy like Mac cleaning house and forcing Woody to allocate more resources into the scouting department, Bowles will be a good HC in my opinion, a little disappointed about Chan Gailey but I'll give him a fair chance to prove me wrong.

 

Where is the third option:

"This will not be any different from the four previously failed inexperienced DCs we hired"

 

Don't know the GM but him being personnel guyis a plus I think.

I also think Bowles was a nice choice.

I think the Jets took steps in the right direction.

 

I think it was a necessary move if we are going to improve the team and we sure need to. Bowles seems like a good hire and I am looking forward to some moves in the off season.

 

The GM being a personnel guy makes him an upgrade over Idzik, and Bowles appears to be the right hire based on what I've seen.

 

Run any poll you want but this "Dream Team" talk is a steaming pile of horseshit. Where does that come from?

 

I-D-I-O-T

 

Unless on February 5, 2017 Ryan stands on one sideline and Carroll is on the other.

 

I honestly think our plan will be the same as the one I perceived Idzik to have. I guess Woody is hoping having the FO/HC on the same page and timeline and that this new crew will execute better. I don't see us going out and being the winners of FA. I see us following a conservative type plan still. It's the smart one, in my opinion, when you don't have a QB

 

Positive is fine; trite and pretentious, not so much.

 

About the last point- the Falcons probably looked like the best spot for him; he could turn them into a legit contender, but I don't see that happening with the Bills.

I could still see him being reasonably successful in Buffalo, though. Rex had lots of initial success with the Jets as a defense and run oriented team, and it sounds like that's his plan with the Bills. He seems horrible at developing QBs, and that should worry Bills fans in the longer term.

 

While I am sure they all loved Rex, Mangold has got to be fed up with the pathetic offenses on the field.

And playing next to 2 shitty guards

 

Mangold is a great player, no doubt, but talk about "politically correct" bullshit....if Rex was still his coach, Mangold would be talking about how 4-12 is not a good indication of the talent on this team, and that the team is headed in the right direction despite our record....now that Rex is gone, he's just trying to say the right thing with a new coach, careful not to say anything that would suggest that Rex should not have been fired (even though, reading between the lines, what Mangold didn't say says it all, he's saying the bare minimum, not wanting to say anything bad about Rex directly.

...in other words, nothing to see here, just PC nonsense.

 

personally i do NOT like the chan gailey OC bullshit......woody has been thru hackett, schottenheimer, sparano, and marty - and got an earful about every one of them from the fans and media. is he really stupid enough to rubber stamp this hire of a retread....did he not learn that perception is also very important and even 1 blemish this offseason will get the fans on edge. i can definitely see him getting replaced this time next year.
