Here’s Rex Ryan Taking A Verbal Jab At Arkansas Coach Bret Bielema

Safety Aaron Williams proclaimed that Luck is “just another NFL quarterback”, and the Bills made him look like one.

Ryan took notice of Gronkowski’s opening act and is just hoping his team can limit the damage. “The games are won by what you do over the course of the week, how you go about your preparation so you can be prepared for the game”, Brady said.

In Buffalo, the Bills set the tone from the start.

Our first two games, we play the two teams who were in the AFC Championship Game, so we will see where we stack up against the very best of the best.

Belichick on the hate: “We’re really not too concerned about that”. It’s rare to hear a member of the Patriots say anything about an opposing team or player that would raise an eyebrow, and when one does – Wes Welker had some fun at Ryan’s expense with a series of foot jokes before a January 2011 playoff game – he was disciplined for it.

“However, Ryan does have a theory on how to cover the 6’6”, 265-pound tight end.

“I can’t wait to see what our fans are going to be like when you have the hated Patriots, I mean, this kind of rival coming in”, Ryan said. And now that he’s got his first meeting as Bills coach against Bill Belichick, Tom Brady and Co. this Sunday in Orchard Park, he’s reestablishing that he’s not afraid of the reigning Super Bowl champs.

It should be noted however that the Patriots record against Ryan coached teams was 9-4 while he was in New York so the team may have had to work offensively against his defenses, but more often than not they came out on top. The Colts did a nice job of penetrating the Bills line and stringing plays out to the sideline, and McCoy wasn’t able to make his one cut that usually turns him loose. “What’s funny is, I’ve got a lot of things to be concerned with, but the backup running back…” I wasn’t really focused on it, it wasn’t a focal point in my life.

Ryan and Belichick have one thing in common: They are brilliant defensive minds.

If Arkansas coach Bret Bielema is looking for a respite from the ribbing he is enduring for losing to Toledo just days after criticizing Ohio State for its weak schedule, the NFL isn’t the place.

The Patriots offense is different and is based on timing and quick reads and throws from Brady.

He’ll dare New England to play the same defense it did against Pittsburgh’s Ben Roethlisberger, noting that his guy, Tyrod Taylor, “will take off with it and they know it”. “But I think we’re happy to have him and a player of his caliber in that position”. For outside observers the convincing nature of Buffalo’s win may have come as a surprise. Winning is all that matters in New England. Obviously, that’s pretty much the way it is with Bill, and that’s fine.
