    On the other hand, I don't care who the coach is, I don't know how anyone can expect a guy to come into a totally new situation and win like that in year one.

    Landry didn't do it. Parcells didn't do it. Rarely does it ever happen.

    Your player evaluations are always so bizarre. You're criticizing Peters and the Eagles because they didn't win the Super Bowl. But even though Brady and the Pats DID with the Super Bowl, you criticized Brady because the game ended on a defensive stand.

    I guess the only player who accomplished anything in the NFL last year was Malcolm Butler.

    And the Pro Bowl is a JOKE, populated by popular players from big market teams.
    Uhhh, you're the guy pimping Incognito for one pro bowl trip three seasons ago:

    Incognito was a Pro Bowl player and Rex said the only reason the Bills are giving him another chance is because he is an OUTSTANDING player.

    Rex said if Incognito were an average player, he would not be worth the trouble to sign him.

    And no OL in the NFL has a Pro Bowl player at every position, so if Williams does play at least average, the OL can absolutely be above average.
    Homer alert.

    I am not criticizing the play of Peters.

    I just said the Eagles paid him a lot of money And he was injured a lot.

    The Eagles did not get their moneys worth from Peters anymore than the Bills have from Mario so far.

    And if Incognito played for the Eagles, Giants, Jets, Patriots, he no doubt would have had a number of Pro Bowl trips.

    Rex did it.

    Pretty rare for a coach to quit on a winning team too. In fact I doubt other than retirement it's ever happened in the NFL. The Bills are not the expansion Cowboys or the downtrodden Giants or Patriots or Jets. Other than QB, and that's going to tell the tale for Rex a lot more than any other factor, the Bills have a pretty solid roster. If you told me Landry or Parcells in their prime was taking over here I would absolutely expect playoffs. Rex? I don't know, we'll see. Marrone did a decent job here but let's not get carried away. He's not some legendary coach. And your thread title has succeeded in making my laugh 347 consecutive times, thanks for that.
