The next it’s their defense. But, at some point through his first seven seasons as a head coach, and two games into his eighth, the message has gone stale. Roman’s unit responded by rolling up 31 points and almost 400 yards of offense last night, but it wasn’t enough due to one of the worst defensive performances in franchise history.

The general sentiment at this point has to be that Rex Ryan and his brother Rob are the next on the chopping block if something doesn’t happen soon.
Just four days after a season-opening 23-22 loss to Cincinnati, the Jets captured their first win of the season in a matchup of two American Football Conference East Division rivals.
Fitzpatrick completed six passes each to receivers Eric Decker (126 yards, one touchdown), Marshall (101 yards), and Quincy Enunwa (92 yards). The effort provided a stark contrast from last Sunday when they held the Baltimore Ravens to just 13 points.
At 0-2, the air of desperation is obvious. The Bills gave up 493 yards of total offense to the Jets with 370 coming in the air. A pass got the Bills to midfield, but they ran out of time. Now they’re off to a 0-2 beginning this season and 0-4 could be within sight, with the Arizona Cardinals and New England Patriots up next on the schedule.
As for #Bills coach Rex Ryan, I’m told this is considered his team. “We’ve got to get better, so we’ve got to look at the tape and realize it starts with us”. The Jets did allow Bills WR Brandon Tate to return a kickoff 45 yards in the third quarter, but that drive ended with Williams’ interception.
I am not one of those people.
I have loved everything the Pegulas have done for the city of Buffalo, but making decisions on roster and coaching moves should not be one of them.
When you don’t have a superstar quarterback, you need your defense to rise to the challenge to win some games and Rex hasn’t had his unit step up regularly in two seasons now.
That’s when the clock ran out on a 37-31 loss to the New York Jets at New Era Field, and along with it, any realistic shot at ending a 16-year playoff drought. As a running backs coach, Lynn’s backs have run for the most cumulative yards in that time.
“I’m just fortunate and blessed that I was able to finish the game”, Marshall said, “and it wasn’t a season-ending thing”.
“I haven’t talked to anybody that isn’t excited about the move”, said one of the people, who requested anonymity because of the sensitivity of the situation.
