the 2014/2015 nfl thread v. R U RDY 4 SUM FOOTBAW?

Sanchez got rex ryan to two afc championship games, looked passable this year, and would be pretty cheap.

it's starting to become apparent that the Jets organization in and of itself was the majority of the problem, not The Sanchize.

Was he worthy of a first round pick? No, fuck no. But he's probably better than Kyle Orton if given a solid run game and defense behind him

im mainly looking at the familiarity

why would you spend all that money on Jay Cutler when when he would just hand the ball off the majority of the time?
 
Because there'd probably be a riot in Buffalo if they signed Mark Sanchez.

I actually don't really care who we get at QB. The run game, special teams, and defense are going to be what this team is about under Rex. All we need is an average QB. Hell, that might even be EJ Manuel now that he'll have another year under his belt and has been able to develop a little out of the spotlight.

I know it's a bitch move to complain about injuries....

but god damn LEVEON BELL

I think Steelers can beat the Rat Birds without a running game (resting on Ben's laurels), but I don't think this team can make a deep playoff run without their Team MVP

Bell is from the same shitty East Side of the city that I am from :) too bad he didn't go to Ohio State

Painful to watch him on the sidelines during the game. No doubt his value is sky high after this year. He really made the offense go this year......the D however.

Yeah they're total fools. Rex Ryan has never done anything as a coach worth noting.

he'd probably swap all that for one conference championship, let alone one superbowl. maybe he will :)

lofail when bills sign sanchez. or cutler.

you should stick with your guy, ej manuel. invest in the future and all that.

Who knows what they'll end up doing at QB. More importantly, with the signing of Rex and Greg Roman QB becomes a lot less of a priority. It's almost definitely going to be a Defense/Run Game focused team. All they need is an average QB(think Alex Smith) and they'll be successful. Rex Ryan hasn't had this much talent on defense since he coached for Baltimore and that ended up being one of the best defenses of all time. He's going to have a field day with the Bills roster.

Bryce Brown is still on the roster. Marrone just didn't use him enough. That will change next year since Rex is known for ground-and-pound offenses. I don't think they'll sign Mark Sanchez. They may try trading for Cutler.

All impressive stats if you are happy to finish 8th or 10th and barely scrap into a wildcard birth.

Should have held out for john Fox, at least you could enjoy one and out each playoff as a bare minimum
 
some quotes about last weekend.

on the patriots scheme against baltimore:
espn's kevin seifert said:
The Patriots' scheme was legal, even if it pushed the envelope on the NFL's attempt to legislate substitution deception out of the game. Vinovich followed protocol, which gives him discretion on how much time to allow a defense to react to substitutions. Ravens coach John Harbaugh erred by not calling a timeout to give his defensive players their assignments. Finally, it's likely that the NFL's competition committee will at least review the Patriots' formation this offseason to ensure it complied with the NFL's sportsmanship code.

The Patriots' reputation as NFL rule-pushers, punctuated by their 2007 discipline for videotaping opponents illegally, surely has played a role in Sunday's swelling emotions. In the end, however, there isn't much to dispute here. Their scheme was legal and sound. Vinovich handled it as well as could have been expected. A creative innovation caught the Ravens by surprise, and they didn't adjust in time. So it goes.

on harbaugh's response to same scheme:

Harbaugh got caught with his pants down, and rather than call timeout, he instead decided to throw a temper tantrum that cost his team 15 yards.

Maybe those guys gotta study the rulebook and figure it out.

There will probably never be another combination of "one of the greatest coaches of all time" playing with "one of the best QBs of all time" like Brady and Bellichick. It's going to be a rough ride for Pats fans once they're gone. Going from those two to pretty much anyone else is going to be a massive drop-off.

Can't wait for Rex Ryan's press conference today at noon. Tune it!
 
That Rex Ryan post conference basically has everyone in WNY pumped as fuck for September. He mentioned the Patriots several times as our focus.

"So Rex, how eager are you to face the Jets and get some revenge?"

"I'm more focused on going after the Patriots.

I believe he genuinely dislikes the Patriots and Bill Bellichick, so he's the perfect coach for me to relate to. It's already well-known the Bills players hate NE. They've said as much in interviews.
 
of course he hates the patriots - they played 13 times when he was jets coach and the record is 9-4 (outscored 349-252).

he hates the patriots because he keeps getting beat by the patriots. odd that he went to buffalo, in that case :)

it's easy to get pumped by what people say is going to happen. i mean, how many times has rex talked about the jets winning the division? the conference? the superbowl? one thing everybody knows he's great at is talking big then failing to deliver.

so here we are again, rex talking big. time will tell if he can deliver but the bills haven't won the superbowl quite yet, gm. i see he is already starting with the guarantees. he's good at that too - he famously guaranteed the jets would win the superbowl in 2011/12. their record that season? 8-8 and missed the playoffs.

so don't get too excited when he guarantees something :)

NAH SON we have to at least wait for the draft an free agency to start before we make bets! Who the hell knows what these teams will look like in 4 months.
