5 reasons the Bills should fire Rex Ryan immediately
The Defensive Guru has Lost his Touch
Whether you’re the head coach of a team or a coordinator, the team should benefit from your strengths. On an earlier slide, I made the argument that if Rex Ryan was spreading himself thin by doing two jobs then both the jobs would suffer.
However, if you’ve got the ability to lead a defense then at the very least, your defense should at least be serviceable.
In 2015, during their 8-8 season, the Bills allowed almost as many yards as they gained, and their offense scored only twenty points more than their defense allowed. With numbers like those, nobody gets a promotion and everybody should feel fortunate if they get to keep their job.
Hours after the #Bills defense was embarrassed on national TV...they fired the offensive coordinator.

Two weeks into the current season, Buffalo’s defense has allowed 25 points per game and an average of 400 yards per contest. With numbers like those someone should be held accountable, someone that’s not in control of the offense.
The offense is in charge of moving the chains and putting points on the board, but it’s the defense that wins championships.
Buffalo’s defense is doing horribly, and the team has yet to attack the win column.
Case in point.
