And somehow things are devolving as the week progresses.
The win marked the first time Ryan’s defense held the opposition under 20 points in three weeks, but mental mistakes luckily didn’t cost the Bills.
Jets coach Todd Bowles, who replaced Ryan, deflected questions as to whether he considered the Enemkpali’s designation disrespectful to Smith and the Jets.
Fitzpatrick, being a Harvard alum, of course won the war of words with the clown in a Clemson helmet.
The Patriots are in Rex Ryan’s head. Just stand up here.
“I didn’t owe him, no. That’s the biggest misconception in America”, Smith said, via Newsday.
Except, Pryor wasn’t talking about the Clemson helmet. The Bills will have the weekend off after they play the NY Jets _ Ryans former team _ on Thursday night.
The Jets have been one of the most surprising teams in the AFC, and the offense is a big reason why. You know we had guys that fought their tails off. But when you add a talent like a [Darrelle] Revis, [Antonio] Cromartie, the [Marcus] Gilchrist kid, that’s a little different. You know, privately or anything else, that’s not the case. “But that’s his decision and we have to move forward”. It’s not a sign of disrespect. “Our mind-set is it’s another game on the schedule that we need badly to place us in the division where we want to be”. You’re poised to show the league what you can do.
A slap in anybody’s face.
“I didn’t owe him”, Smith told Kimberley A. Martin of Newsday.
DAN THE MAN?: For two games, the Dolphins appeared rejuvenated and re-energized under interim coach Dan Campbell, who took over for the fired Joe Philbin and led Miami to victories. Ryan and Watkins, who played at Clemson, plan to travel to Syracuse to watch the Tigers play. The good news for Buffalo is that McCoy (shoulder) and Watkins (ankle) will suit up despite injuries, but both right tackles Seantrel Henderson (illness) and Cyrus Kouandjio (knee) are questionable and The Buffalo News reports third-year tackle Jordan Mills could step up.
Is he a good head coach?
During a conference call with the NY media, Ryan stood by his statement that the 2013 Jets’ draft class was an “A-plus”.
“Oh baby, that one’s gonna be tough”, Ryan said when asked about the upcoming game with the Patriots. “Has to do something with coaching, as well”.

That said, Tyrod Taylor isn’t going to chuck the ball all over the yard in this run-oriented offense. NY has a few guys (Willie Colon, Calvin Pryor, Bilal Powell) who might have played on a Sunday but likely won’t suit up on Thursday. He was asked how Ryan is perceived now in the Jets’ locker room. That is not to say that Smith is going to return to his once-owned position of starting quarterback for the Jets, but he is healthy and ready for football action.
