Rex Ryan’s honeymoon with Buffalo Bills fans hasn’t simply ended.
It has been reduced to a pile of smoldering ashes.
Nearly three quarters into his first season as the Bills’ coach, the man whose hiring last January helped drive record ticket sales is now the object of considerable second-guessing and ridicule.
Backlash from his challenge-flag gaffes and other questionable coaching decisions in Sunday’s 30-22 loss at Kansas City reached levels that would make one think the Bills are far worse off than having a 5-6 record and showing at least a faint pulse for a wild-card playoff spot.
