Rex Ryan is at it again making predictions for his new AFC East team and said that this will be the year the Buffalo Bills end a 15-year drought and make the playoffs.
ESPN noted that the new Bills coach is singing a similar tune like the one he sang in New York, only this time he is not making a Super Bowl guarantee. Ryan is, however, predicting that Buffalo’s long playoff drought will end this season.
"I think we'll be in this year," Ryan said Wednesday night. "So we'll see."
While that statement certainly wasn’t as bold as the promise he failed to fulfill with the Jets, he did throw out one definitive promise for the team that hired him in January.
“I can guarantee you one thing: Teams aren’t going to want to play us, I can tell you that much,” he said. “You’ll see. Hey, come watch practice and you’ll probably come away with the same feeling I have. We’re loaded on defense and we’re loaded at the skill positions. So we’ll see.”
Those skill positions Ryan is referring to are at running back with LeSean McCoy, tight end with Charles Clay and wide receiver with Percy Harvin. Of course it would be better to have a marquee guy under center, but he isn’t worried about the quarterback situation and thinks the team will be “fine.”
So we will see if Ryan and the Bills come through or if he is more like the coach who cried “playoffs.”
