The franchise is in complete flux. The owner wants out of the stadium and STL, LA prefers the Raiders. The NFL regulations would make it nearly impossible to move the team, and the lease with Edward Jones Dome precludes him from playing outside of it until it expires in 2025. They've got a ton of problems, the least of which is the product they put on the field. |

4 games with the Pats and Jets (sweeping the Jets accounting for 2 of the 6 NYJ losses) and 4 additional games against playoff bound Texans, Chiefs, Redskins, Bengals. Absolute and complete foolishness. |

i know ryan said it was a guarantee they'd be in the post season this year, and of course he was wrong. overrated as a coach. he should be unemployed like his brother. |

Word is the front office wanted to flush out a mole in the organization and planted it.

it wouldn't surprise me if he said succeed or you're gone, or if he didn't. i'm pretty sure everyone knows the price if you don't get to playoffs-and for some, even if you get there, you might still get shown the door. |

Ryan’s defense works a lot better when he has corners that can play good man-to-man Last year with Jets the team had injuries, a horrific GM, and absolutely NO SECONDARY. Their CBs gave up too many big plays. This year the Jets went out and signed Darrelle Revis, Antonio Cromartie, Buster Skrine and Marcus Gilchrist so Bowles could essentially run Rex's scheme. Rex's certainly earned himself some due criticism (as you correctly pointed out) - Namely, he allowed his best pass rushers to drop into coverage as an over compensation for the lack of CB talent & he blitzed too much. But injuries were a huge problem. Also bear in mind this year the Bills have lost Kyle Williams, so factor that in. It's disingenuous to compare 2014 NYJ secondary to 2015 and blame that all on Rex. |

My only point was that he needs DB's to effectively run is scheme and he hasn't had that the past 2 years. If they continuously pass rush with no secondary, the results are the same and then he's then crucified for not dropping back into coverage. |

They had 54 sacks last year and lead the league. They had 21 and finished 31st this year...

And they also had Stephon Gilmore and Corey Graham last year to augment Mckelvin at CB allowing their position players (ie. Williams, Dareus) to do what they do... They had neither this year and that compromised the system.

He inherited a Ferrari defense and proceeded to use it to pull a tractor through a cornfield. He is able to sell stupid people with his bravado cause they want to believe all the good things he is selling them. Ki d of like a sleazy used car salesman.

Should a coach make a system based on the players he has, or should he make the players try to fit his system?

They knew what they were getting when they hired him, they knew his system. Rex's system is completely reliant on shut down corners. You lose that, it flounders - just it did in the last year with the Jets, just like it does with missing pieces of any other defensive scheme. If you want to blame someone, look to the GM and VP of Player Personnel for the decisions they made knowing what the backbone of his system is, or more disturbingly, were too ignorant to realize the impact of what they were doing. Either way it falls on them, not the coach. |

It's why I didn't get Kelly picking up Murray, if he knew how Murray played and whether he would fit. Did he think he could make Murray fit, and if he didn't, it was Murray's fault? It's really interesting and fascinating to see sometimes...these guys are supposed to be wizards at this game....and then you wonder wth?? |

This is 100% right and anyone who doesn't see this hasn't paid enough attention to Rex's time as a head coach.
