Week 2 in the NFL has come and gone. As with many teams, I feel like I didn’t give it my best effort in the first week. But I’m getting back in the swing of things and I know it’s more important to finish strong. So hopefully this week’s breakdown will be better than the last one, but not as good as the next one.
No team can win it all in the first few weeks, but the wheels can come off at anytime. The early part of the season is all about staying relevant and putting yourself in a position where a late run can get you to the Super Bowl. While no team is more than a few games away from being in the hunt, even this early in the season, it’s hard to like your chances if you are a fan of the Bears, the Browns or the Bills.

The Bills offense gained 395 yards, scored 3 touchdowns and kicked one field goal while turning the ball over once. But the Bills defense allowed Ryan Fitzpatrick to throw for 374 yards with a td and Matt Forte to rush the ball for 100 yards and 3 touchdowns. The defense did score a touchdown on a fumble recovery, but that only counts for so much when you allow 37 points at home.
The lion’s share of the blame for that loss would seemingly fall on the defense. So obviously, the next day head coach Rex Ryan fired his offensive coordinator. Wait, what? I guess when you hire your brother to run your defense and he doesn’t do a good job, it’s easier to blame the offense.
In a highly competitive league, I guess someone must be blamed for an 0-2 start. And Rex isn’t going to take the blame himself, nor will he place it on his brother. So off goes OC Greg Romans, who led the offense to the 8th highest yards per play going back to last season, while brother Rob and his defense that ranked 25th in yards per play over the same timeframe gets to stay on the payroll.
It must not be a fun time to be a Bills fans. They have a coach in Rex that has more of an affinity for family, f-bombs and feet, than winning football games. I know it gets cold in Buffalo over the winter, so maybe they won’t mind that their team is a dumpster fire, because at least dumpster fires are
