another head scratcher...the ref kept holding up his fist showing him its 4th down..are you sure you want the penalty? That was another weird one.
here we go with the defense again as a defense of Rex. NOBODY THOUGHT THE DEFENSE WAS NOT GOOD. Im questioning all of the duties of a head coach. up by 11 and running plays with 15-20 seconds left on the play clock is another one. Guys...just step back and look at this and his duties as a head coach...everyone knows Rex is a good defensive coach.
The 1st challenge was not bad since the playclock was running and you'd lose a timeout unless you want a costly delay of game. I would have done the same. Maybe the only thing done differently is with 15 seconds on the clock, have your offense lined up and hope the Bills jump offside and THEN do one of the aforementioned. That was what I wanted but its a rookie QB running the huddle. The 2nd one was pretty bad though. The 1st one wasn't bad though since you had a spare challenge to work with. Its not Rex's fault the refs botched up the Manuel fumble, the refs need to get the job done regardless if you have no challenges or not. That's what they get paid to do.....
We kicked their ass in the trenches and the game would have been much uglier if we cut the penalties down. The Bills are the lucky ones to be that close in the game.
valid point. it was absolutely brutal though. it seemed like he lost all control for a few minutes there. just a complete implosion of things not to do.
Im still waiting to hear what McCarthy does for his defense, and what Sean Payton does for his defense, and for a single example of a HC spear-heading all phases on his team, regarding those who say RR is just a DC. What does Jim Harbaugh do for his defense? I guess hes just an OC.
Also, challenges are conveyed from upstairs upon viewing a replay. Why RR gets blamed for those challenges all by himself I dont know. He must be the only HC to ever lose two challenges in a half by the sound of it.
The only problem I had with the HC today were the 2 challenges. They were both very bad calls and it cost us as we could not challenge an obvious Manuel fumble. Rex needs some better advice or better people on these challenges as he constantly screws these challenges up.
As far as Rex and the D goes..today was one of the first games in a long time where the first tackler brought the man down with out 3 to 5 + yards after contact. That has to come from emphasis in practice. Rah Rex! Did any one else note that on 1 offside (on the Bills) the whistle blew and the play was stopped. Yet when the Jets went offside the whistle never sounded and the Bill 's play continued. Sloppy officiating but that crew is 2nd rate at best. Keep Rex. I remember we once hired an advisory to tell the coach about clock management. Maybe some help for Rex is in order.
You can't use logic to argue when the person you are arguing with is illogical (TC). This thread is a joke, TC should be banned. There are ways to critique Rex without saying he should be fired.
please list all the duties of a head coach that a head coach needs to be evaluated on? otherwise shut the fuck up about your pretend expertise on what a head coach does and how you are an expert on evaluating such.
that was a pretty sweet celebration by richardson... wtf was he even celebrating anyway? i havent called for the hc to be fired. that has nothing to do with the fact that he was not very good today. kyle wilson should have been brought off the field 2 plays earlier than he was. the fact that he was left out there to get that 4th penalty is beyond me. we have other guys who can play the corner just as well as he can. so when mr i am going to celebrate an overthrow like i actually did my job and turned around and played the ball has a fucking meltdown like a 7 year old and he isnt taken out of the game its frustrating to me.
My post count is apparently about a dozen shy of being able to start a thread, but we should be EXTENDING Rex Ryan, not making asinine threads like this. Parcells aside (though I can do without that asshole any time), he's miles better than Mangini, Kotite, Coslett, Edwards, and a 15 year younger Pete Carroll (and maybe still). Who on earth would we realistically want over Rex? Fuck Mehta, Florio and all the lemmings, but I am damn happy to have Rex around.
Thank you. Nobody here truly knows how involved in all phases an HC is. Not one person can tell me what makes RR "just a DC" but not Sean Payton "just an OC". Would love to hear an explanation.
On the challenge, not that I necessarily agree with Rex, but I think I understood what he was trying to do. We were a yard short, and you can see Rex petitioning to the ref to bring the chains out for a measurement. That failed, so with the clock running down he decided to throw a challenge (I'm sure he assumed it was closer than it actually was). Lose the challenge and burn a timeout, or he could have just burned the timeout without wasting the challenge. The end result is the same, except for the fact you are down 1 challenge. Unfortunately, the worst case scenario played out. We burned our 2nd challenge (which was a good challenge IMO; I didn't think stevie got the 2nd foot down live) and then EJ fumbled the ball that we recovered, but ultimately could not challenge cause the refs botched the call. Again, I wish Rex would've just wasted the timeout, but there def was some logic behind that call, even if it probably wasn't the smartest move of the two to make.
are you for real??? So our defensive minded head coach gets zero credit for our young defense developing at a lighting pace??? I agree the two challenges were bizarre. I am giving him the benefit of the doubt that on the second one someone upstairs told him to challenge it. I am not going to go crazy on the guy when my defensive front 7 looks beastly, running my head coaches defense
