That's what it's going to come down to."FLORHAM PARK, N.J. -- It's personal -- again. This time, Rex Ryan is out for Bill Belichick. Calling out one of the most successful coaches in NFL history, the New York Jets' coach delivered an unsolicited rant Monday, admitting he was outcoached by Belichick in last month's blowout and vowing to flip the script in Sunday's AFC divisional playoff game against the New England Patriots. "This is about Bill Belichick versus Rex Ryan," Ryan said, addressing the upcoming showdown in Foxborough for the first time. "There's no question, it's personal. It's about him against myself. That's what it's going to come down to." In terms of football duels, this was the verbal equivalent of a white glove across the face. Ryan said both teams are even from the standpoint of talent and assistant coaches, and that the rubber game will be decided by his ability to match wits with Belichick. In their last meeting, Dec. 6 in Foxborough, the Jets were humiliated on Monday Night Football 45-3. "I was outcoached in that game," said Ryan, who also used the "it's personal" line last week in preparation for Peyton Manning and the Indianapolis Colts. "I said it then, I'm saying it now. Belichick, I recognize the fact this is a Hall of Fame coach. He'll go down in history as maybe the greatest football coach in the history of this game, or going to be close to it. "He was at that level that week and I was not. For whatever reason, I never had my team prepared the way it should've been prepared. That falls right down on me." Belichick, in a conference call about two hours after Ryan made his comment, took a lighthearted approach. "I might have a little quickness on him, he's probably got a little more strength and power on me," Belichick said. "I don't think you'll see either of us out there making any blocks, or tackles, or runs, throws or catches. At least you won't see me doing that. It's probably a good thing for our team."Full Article This guy is really annoying. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EastCoastNiner Posted January 11, 2011 Report Share Posted January 11, 2011 Up until the past week I have actually really liked Rex Ryan, but he is becoming extremely obnoxious now. He just needs to be quiet for once. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fish7718 Posted January 11, 2011 Report Share Posted January 11, 2011 I don't see how you make a team sport personal, especially when you are the head coach -_-, I like Rex, but C'MON MAN. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lkr Posted January 11, 2011 Report Share Posted January 11, 2011 (edited) There's a difference between being confident, and a douche bag.Don't take him seriously. He is trying to take the pressure off of his team. You know by saying the game comes down to him and Bill that it is obviously not serious. Belichick knew it was a joke, and made a joke back. He's not being confident either, he is just having fun with the media. Edited January 11, 2011 by Lkr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChosenOne Posted January 11, 2011 Report Share Posted January 11, 2011 As much as I hate the Pats I do wish they rock the Jets world on Saturday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Owner Real Deal Posted January 11, 2011 Owner Report Share Posted January 11, 2011 He's so right. When the Jets walk in to kick the hell out of the Pats (ha), I'm going to be putting ALL of my attention on the sidelines. Someone should tell Rex that he's not even on the same planet as Belichick, so it only makes sense that he would have to talk this loud to get his opinion heard. Pats should run the score up, if they end up blowing them out. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JYD Posted January 11, 2011 Report Share Posted January 11, 2011 I like Rex. He is a bit of a clown but I think he's funny. And I think he's a pretty good football coach, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dash Posted January 11, 2011 Report Share Posted January 11, 2011 I remember him spewing a bunch of crap back in December too and then the Jets lost 45-3 to the Pats. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony Dungy was never over the top, and it worked for him. Ditka, Buddy Ryan, Herm Edwards, etc had a wild personality and it worked for them.

I'm assuming Ditka won the SB that same season, but still...and if I recall correctly, when they were talking Herm Edwards on ESPN a while back, they showed that he had a losing record, both in the playoffs and in the regular season. Buddy Ryan didn't have a single winning season with the Cardinals, and had just three in his career, all with the Eagles. No playoff wins. It's safe to say that Dungy had a more successful career than all three of them, combined. I'm not really sure if they were good examples...nothing really worked for Ryan or Herm.

And Herm Edwards isn't that good of a coach. I like him but if anyone's trying to act like he's a great football coach they're quite mistaken.

Lkr Posted January 12, 2011 Report Share Posted January 12, 2011 My point is that different players respond differently. This Jets team needs a guy like Ryan to get the best out of them. Ryan also has a SB as a DLine coach Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're not playing into the media game, saving it all for the field. I'm sure hoping so, or this would be worse than the Ravens loss last year, and maybe even the Colts loss in 2006-2007. I'l probably going to this game, so I hope the Patriots dominate them! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just kidding, it'd be a sick game to go to for sure. My dad and uncle have had four season tickets for over 25+ years, so I go a few times each season. If they win this week, I will be going next week as well. I just hope the Patriots dominate the Jets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
