I like Rex, I'm not sure he's a good coach but I have seen way worse at One Bills Drive. I just don't know how many great coaches are out there. Or for that matter, are coaches really great or have the ones we call good just been huge beneficiaries of right place right time.
Bill Walsh, Bill Belicheck, Mike Holmgren, Mike Tomlin, etc.
Great players starting with the QB make coaches great ... where would Belichick be if the Pats had not drafted Brady ? Or Walsh without Montana ? Holmgren without Favre ? I'm going with majority right place right time.

I don't know if the Pegula's agree
You are probably right, but the next 7 might change their mind.

Sportsclubstats has the Bills with a 20% chance of making the playoffs going a minimum of 6-1 to get to 10-6 and have a decent shot.
More likely for them to go 8-8, 9-7 as they could easily lose this week on the road, most likely to the Raiders and maybe Pittsburgh.
Even with all of the injuries, I'd be surprised if the Ryan bros are kept around.

I hated the Rex hiring and after last night's game I had had enough of the Rex era. Roman was correctly fired, but that wasn't enough. King Rex and his equally incompetent brother should have also been shown the door. There is no excuse for what we saw last night. On either side of the ball.
The strange thing is that despite the terrible coaching we have been in both games and probably could have won last night if the team could have executed a 4th and one play.
I like Taylor. I think he is a pretty decent player and good enough for us for now. We also have talent on both side of the ball. Although the additions of Rex guys like Bush, Harvin, amongst others is a problem.
TBN blames the Pegulas for this mess. I don't necessarily disagree. They hired the shiny toy in Rex and therefore bare the responsibility. However, like with the Sabres, they will bite the bullet by season's end and start over. Hopefully they'll get it right the second time.
We all know what a real organization looks like in Buffalo. The Bill Polian run Bills are the best example. I think the current Sabres regime is getting to that point. GMTM has made mistakes, but so far so good overall. Sadly we have to endure Rex for at least the remainder of the season, but by then Terry and Kim should be ready to move on.
You won't have to wait that long ... losses to Arizona and the Pats will seal his fate.

Pretty sad when the odds of the Sabres getting a regulation win in October are practically zero.
-
It'll be Subban or someone equally as important they knock out of the series.
Or maybe they'll just cut him and he'll bleed Brahmin blue all over the ice. Wonder what they called Iginla before he became a Bruin ?

Get the carnies to tear down this circus, forfeit tomorrow, and end the season with 81 games. No one seems to care anymore - all fans tomorrow should boycott the "game".
What an embarassment to the city of Buffalo ...
-
Probably not. Zero goals in over 50 games played. Holy ######. And, making $4.5 million (cap hit). We may be witnessing the worst season any player has ever had in the history of hockey!
Jokerit will welcome him back with open arms ...

I'm already prepared for little to no penalty blaming Ruhwedal for skating with his head so low.
Pysyk will get the call(along with John Scott I'm guessing). If you think this is crazy, you should see the Amerks D.
Chris Chelios is available ...
-
Ruhwedel almost bald at 23 ? Even Jim Furyk had hair at 23 ...
-
Well we all know who Ted was hitting in the head during the morning skate.
Last chance for Cool Hand Luke - put him on the 1st line with Leino.
-
but but Chara isn't slow or a pylon it's not like he is old and becoming the new Hal Gill....................
Ask Matt D'Agostini if Chara is slow ...
-
Was that Ales Kotalik dressed up as Ville Leino as an April Fool's joke ?
-
It's worth $50 not to see Leino playing ...
-
I was hoping someone would have asked Nolan yesterday if Ville was making the trip ...
-
After the buyout, Ville will morph into a player again a la Brad Boyes and probably kill the Sabres in some game in the future.
-
The start of Thomas Vanek‘s time as a Canadien hasn’t been great — the team has lost all three games with him in the lineup, and he’s only managed to register one assist.
According to Habs head coach Michel Therrien, Vanek needs to change his style of play for the team to have more success.
You mean he can't coast through some of his shifts anymore ?
-
Leino is using his shooting stick tonight!
And after 2+ periods, Leino has no shots on goal.
-
Leino says he's gonna shoot more - doesn't he know you need to have the puck on your stick to shoot ?
-
I've seen enough of Luke Adam to know he has know future on this team.
Is Rip retiring ?
-
Or just winning
Yep, I'm already liking our chances of having him resign with the Blues.
-
Millsie's interviews are definitely a little more upbeat ... must be a load off to see only 17 shots and have a team that can answer after being down 2.

Because as long as buddy Patty is in the front office, he know's he's got someone pulling for him and doesn't worry about what the rest of the staff thinks; he knows Patty's got his back. Now Patty's gone and he has to seriously consider whether he can really trust GMTM and the rest. Nolan is all about relationships, I think, and it will bear on his decision to stay or go.
If the Teddy is really the coach most of us think he is, why does he need Patty as cover ? Why not just let your performance speak for you ? If TP really cares about a Cup and Teddy produces toward that end, that should be enough. I think Teddy is more concerned at this point with the well being of his good friend.
