(UPDATE: Another Rex Ryan regime at an AFC East team has ended with his dismissal. Rex Ryan was canned, along with brother, this morning. Anthony Lynn was promoted to interim Head Coach on Tuesday December 27th)

This according to Jason La Canfora of CBS, their NFL “insider;” here he gets as insidiest inside and any insidier insider who have incited insight in regards to Rex Ryan. Here’s what JLC reported on The NFL Today:
“Rex Ryan could be fired as soon as Monday with a lopsided defeat to the Steelers today. According to League sources, odds of him remaining as Bills coach in 2017 are bleak. It would take a near perfect December to stay in charge, and QB Tyrod Taylor could be benched as soon as Monday as well.
“Rifts between the coaches and personnel department linger. Owner Terry Pegula is willing to make changes. Some Bills execs want to see the rookie (quarterback) Cardale Jones playing now, and they don’t plan to pick up Taylor’s expensive option next year.”
So, how did Sunday’s home outing against the Steelers go? (Who themselves are dealing with a potential Deflategate 2 on their hands, LORD HELP US, if we’re inundated with that incessant tedium AGAIN)
Bills had -1 total yards in the 1st quarter vs @steelers
It's the first time this season a team has had negative yardage in the 1st quarter

In terms of a “lopsided defeat,” the Bills lost just 27-20, but it really wasn’t that close.
Pittsburgh out-gained them 460-275 in total offense. The Buffalo Bills logo in the snow made with Bud Light cans was the best thing we saw related to the team today.

If and when Rex Ryan is dismissed, it seems QB Tyrod Taylor will be out the door as well (as La Canfora pointed out). It appears that the Ryan regime could end as early as this week, even though his record in Buffalo isn’t that bad at all. He went 8-8 last year and is 6-7 this season. That’s not awful, but hey the brazen Donald Trump supporter and foot fetishist will land on his feet.
Many of the Bills’ African-American players were not happy with his support of Trump, a man who has very strong appeal among racists and bigots. Trump’s presidential campaign was overtly bigoted and racist much of the time. Rex Ryan introduced Trump at a campaign stop, thus inviting jokes such as these on Twitter today.
Rex Ryan is going to get fired by the Bills and will end up with a position in Trump's cabinet.
