Well that was a direct quote from Johnson.
And he did bring Landry and Milliner. Yes. Milliner got hurt. But you're an excuse machine. Talk to a Jets fan about Ryan. He was 4 - 12. If Idzik was the only problem they would have kept Ryan and just replaced Idzik.
Talk about what you know. Which isn't much.
Then there are always Rex's in-game calls. They are right in line with Jauron, Gailey and Marrone.

http://espn.go.com/blog/new-york/jet...his-clock-playGreen Day: Rex Ryan must fix his clock play
I always though Rexy was a crappy gameday HC. If he didnt have the game won before they stepped on the field, it would be a long day for his team. He cant touch Bellicheat when it comes to gameday coaching especially when the game is close.
That's sort of his issue, he's not a good tactical HC past defense, which a lot of people ignore in saying he was the best HC candidate available, Truth is, he was the best motivating charismatic, defensive guru candidate. But Green Bay's McCarthy dorks up on gameday, and Carroll even (and yes, I realize what cushion McCarthy & Carroll have in their personnel).Originally Posted by justasportsfan
I've said the hire baffles me and it does, but I think Roman is a more assertive, capable OC then lil Schottzy, Sparano or Mornhinwheg were, if somewhat more limited in focus, and Ryan had to earn some things from New Jersey, so I'm looking forward to seeing what happens with this. Still baffles me though.

I know that 9-7 number seems great, but that Patriots win only means so much. And with arguably the second best defense in the league? At or just above .500? That better be the case, even with arguably the second worst offense in the league.
Playing devil's advocate, he had no viable QB all season, was only in his second season on the job and showing progress getting to or over 0.500. How often over the entire history of the Bills in the NFL have we fans seen that? Can count on one hand.

Orton was a far more viable QB than any of the Jets' QB's. That's not even debatable. As for the defenses and ST's, the Bills were far and away better. Even as it stands right now, EJ is a better QB than anyone the Jets have, and the Bills still have a better defense and ST's, which were the backbone of the defense and not attributable to Marrone.
Did you see Geno Smith's final game of 2014? He was 20 of 25 for 358. 3 TDs/0 INTs.
..and? One good game, in the "run for the bus" game, doesn't mean much. Just like the Bills beating the Pats the last game of the season.
You are the person that does not know what he is talking about.
Google; Johnson lied to & you will see it was Idzik, the person that signed him to the Jets, that Johnson said lied to him, NOT Rex.
And I have two Jets boards saved in my favorites, Gang Green & the Landing Strip. I check them both out regularly & spent a lot of time reading those boards when it looked like Marrone was going to take a job there.
Most Jets fans blame Idzik for the Jets troubles, not Rex.

better days tends to be very optimistic, but i agree with him,swiper. living in nyc and with lots of jet friends, they all said as the season wore on that idzik did this and that they didn't want to lose rex in the process.
i will also say that rex style probably has a shelf life of 5 years. being brash, believing in the team, taking the media bullets. but if you don't get results in the first 5 years, he probably loses the locker room over time if he doesn't have aa certain level of success.
there literally is no one the bills can hire to take the risk out of the equation. no former superbowl winning coach has gone on to do it again with another team. not every coordinator go on to be great.
given what we know about the coordinators and options, rex was a solid choice. it may not look much different than other hires, but at least they tried something different and got a guy that other teams were trying to get.

And as bad as the Jets were the last two years, Rex did not lose that locker room.
Proof of that is as has been pointed out, the Jets dominated the Fins in the last game of the year.
And the Fins were not playing their scrubs in that game like the Pats* did against the Bills.
For the record I wrote that on my cell phone and there was an error. It was supposed to be only one post.
I'm pretty sure GvilleBills was joking with that post of his.
That is how I took it anyway.
When it was a well known fact that Ryan was out the door weeks before this and the players didn't give a ****. It certainly showed they their disdain for the disorganized bumbler.
The players showed the fans they were better than they were being given credit for under the poor leadership of Ryan.
I post facts. The blind and ignorant ignore them.
They were still being led by Ryan at that point. That they waited until the end of the season to show up proves their team is full of idiots. And that won't change much under Bowles.
You post facts?????????????
You posted Johnson said Rex Ryan lied to him.
The FACT is Johnson said John Idzik LIED to him. That is the REAL FACT.
Only the blind & ignorant try to pass off FALSEHOODS as facts.
And it would be you doing that.
Again, the quote in post 19 was a direct quote from Johnson. FACT.
So FO.
Including the TEs' coach there were like 4 different coaches that had input into the OL, I doubt that it was very cohesive group, it certainly didn't look like it was.
