Rex Ryan buries ball from MNF loss vs Patriots (1 Viewer)

$100 bills in the ceiling was better.

ETA: So was the Saints burying their prior season to start fresh.

Whatever works, you have to try and do something after a loss like that one. If I had to say good idea or bad idea I think it's a good one. Coaching is a lot more than X's and O's and trying to keep this team mentally balanced this time of year is important.

 
We weren't there so we have no idea if he "sold" the moment or not. Either way I appreciate the effort.

Now I'm off to bury the mouse I used to start Eli over Matt Ryan last week . . . .

 
Ryan is a genius. Master motivator. I've never heard of this type of thing before. Oh wait.

Dude should stick to eating crates of sticky buns. He's good at that.

 
I don't even remember when Belichick did this, but I can't help but wonder if Damien Woody was around for it. I don't think he was though. Can anyone help out with this?

 
Really, really lame, since he took this straight out of Belichick's playbook. :ph34r:
REALLY, REALLY LAME if you actually think Bill Bellichick was the first coach in the whole world to ever do this.
I'm not claiming that he was, but I would nonetheless be interested to see you post some links to some other times when this has happened in the NFL since Belichick did it.

These are professionals, not High Schoolers. Gimmicks are for children. If you have to rely on them to keep your team "mentally balanced" then you have already lost.
 
:goodposting: at some of the player quotes:

"When he asked us to go outside, I knew the message was going to touch everybody," Holmes said.

Said Revis, "Everybody was just shocked. Nobody said anything."

"We all got the point. Usually, in the past, you hear a coach say, 'Let's bury this' and you have to visualize it. When you actually see it, you're like, 'Wow, this is serious.'"

Nobody ever accused them of being mental giants I guess... :lmao:

 
Meanwhile.....

Rex says he "stole" the burial from his Dad who has done it, who in turn probably stole it from pop warner leagues...

 
Rex lacks the emotional IQ to be an NFL coach. I said it before the season and I'll say it again now. He's not cut out for it. He's funny and all that but wants too much to be one of the guys.

I'd say that the Jets' problem is far from Rex's emotional IQ. It is a breakdown in the offensive line, getting to the QB consistently without a blitz, and Sanchez. All three have to be better for them to be a contender for a playoff spot. Players love him, it's the execution that is the problem at this point. Schotty needs to be better, Sanchez can't look like a rookie forever, and the WRs cannot drop the ball, either.
