Pettine got the Bills defense up to #23 in the rankings and that accomplishment won him a HC job.
Schwartz takes over, loses his Pro Bowl safety to free agency and his rookie phenom to injury, and moves the D up to #4 in the rankings.
But he gets barely a sniff for a DC job.
Something doesn't seem right.
What stat are you using for #23 Defense. Going by yards/ play under Pettine, they were #6 in 2013 allowing 4.9 YDS/P. In 2012 they were 22nd allowing 5.6 YDS/P. This year they were 3rd with 4.9 YDS/P.

I always thought the mascot was for the younger fans. I say Keep Billy the Buffalo.

You may not like the hire but frankly thats not the point.
The combination of Rex teaming up with OC guru Marc trestman could be the most sought after coaching staff available and Pegula could be on the brink of landing them - thats new regime - new results - the point was - dont compare Pegula hiring in 2015 to any of Bills hirings in the past 50 yrs
I would actually like the hire. I think he is the best the Bills could get.
-
Lets put it another way (and lets stick to the Bills hires) you really think a staff with a head guy like Rex and an OC the caliber of Marc Trestman (who wont come cheap) would ever consider Buffalo under the other ownership? never....
His record as a HC is 46-50. Enough said.
-
You cannot compare this hire by Pegula to all others in the past by Ralph. Pegula has no reputation as a guy who interferes and he can pay top dollar to head coach and to staff under him - whole new regime - whole new ball game !!
And his first hire for the Sabres was the highly sought after Ted Nolan? I like Ted, but he was not a high profile hire. He was the most qualified Coach they could find that would take the job
-
Wow. You have a severe case of inferiority complex. I genuinely think you should see someone about that.
Sorry if it hurts. Its just my opinion and I am calling it like I see it. Past hiring's prove my statement. Just trying to be realistic about who they will hire. I no longer live in the area, so no inferiority complex here.

Rex wanting to come to Buffalo makes sense. He hates the Patriots, he would probably like to stick it to the Jets twice a year as well. He is a defensive coach that will inherit a top 5 defense. He probably is the most qualified candidate that would actually sign a contract with Buffalo. Not many Head Coach candidates want to come to Buffalo , most use the Bills to practice their interviewing skills and use them to put pressure on the team they really want to coach.

IMO, The 2014 wide receiver class will go down in history as the best class ever. It will be compared to the QB class of 83 that produced three Hall of fame QBs. The amount of NFL records this class is going to break should be impressive. Before this season, only 12 rookie receivers had more than 1000 yards and only 24 players had more than 900 yards. This class produced 3 receivers that had 1000 yards, and Watkins with 982 yards. It was widely accepted that Watkins was the best, of the best receiver class ever. I have no problem with the trade to get Watkins. The success of other receivers in the class does not change my opinion, it only strengthens it. Whaley went after the best receiver of possibly the best class ever, I could never fault him for that.

your doomed. Your first mistake was accepting a Bills HC job. It shows serious lack of judgment. You will only be 2 years and will never get another HC job again.

I'm not trying to be a jerk either, but here's an article about EJ from right after he was drafted. Granted, comparisons to Geno Smith and Barkley don't carry much weight now, but if we're just talking about the numbers...
Also, look at how much better EJ was on the move, something I swear I've heard numerous people around here say he can't do.
It's foolish to give up on him at this point.
I agree, lets give the kid a chance. This video was posted before, but it should be brought up again.

I believe that the root cause of the Bills failures is not so much just the QB position, but all positions. Name me one Bills receiver that has left the Bills and been successful. Stevie, some say the Bills best receiver since Moulds is a true #2 or 3, as evident by his play in SF. Evens, our #1 receiver until he was replaced by Stevie, couldn't even make the NFL the second year after he left the Bills. They drafted Maybin with the 11th pick. James Hardy at the 41 pick. How many starts did we get from these two fine draft picks? It is too early to know how things will turn out with Whaley, however IMO, the last 2 drafts have produced more productive players than in the past. Isn't it ironic that Woods was selected #41 same as Hardy. He will have some misses but lets give the man at least 5 years before we crucify him too.

This is kinda true and kinda false. Peters was projected by many as a 2nd round pick without a position. He was a freak athlete that played TE in college. It wasn't like the Bills turned a bunch of rocks. To find him. They just signed the freak athlete and he lived up to his athletic potential.
Why did he fall from a second round pick to undrafted?
-
The way I remember it. In 2004 Peters was an undrafted Rookie TE. The Bills took a chance on him, put him on the practice squad and converted him to an OL. In 2006 he signed a 5 year 15 Million contract. He excelled at the OL and after 2 years into his 5 year contract he wanted more money. He refused to show up for training camp. The Bills hands were tied. I am sure a man like RW was not happy. He had taken a chance on Peters and all he got in return was a stab in the back. If it were not for the Bills, it is highly likely Peters would have never made it to the NFL. Screw Peters. He should have finished his contract like a man, then he could have gone to the highest bidder.

What the frack!!! does Tarry work?

Whaley was mentored in Pittsburgh. The Steelers have only had 3 HC's since the 1960's. The Bills will be on the 8th since 2000. Hopefully he learned from his mistake, if he was involved in the selection of Marrone, and finds the guy that can be here for at least 10 years.
-
LOL. Everyone says it was a bad idea for the Bills for the opt out clause. Ralph owned the Bills when that deal was made. Would he bet against his own death? He could care less if the new owner had to cough up the 4 Million.

Typical of is board , if there is no Chaos, create some, stir the pot, just like a GR55 talk show
Exactly. I find it amusing that people here know the exact chain of command at One Bills Drive.

I like the long shots. Tuel will lead the team to the playoffs next year.

No. Gailley was in way over his head as an NFL head coach. He was done. I would have liked to see Fitz stick around but that wasn't going to happen.
Please give specific examples of "over his head" . That phrase is thrown around a lot as a fact, with no examples.
Gailey had the 13th best offence with the shittiest receivers in Bills history. I think he would have done better with Woods and Watkins. The Defense under Gailey was around 23rd, Dareus, McKelvin, and Gilmore had not matured yet. Now, It is a top 10 defense no matter who coaches it. IMO this team makes the playoffs and is a contender for the Division.
-
OK, which Bills coach of the past 12 years was run out of town too soon and was on the brink of success here? Which ones have succeeded elsewhere after being sacked by the Bills? Same question regarding GMs.
With Gailey and Fitz still here, you don't think they make the playoffs?
-
FIRE THE COACHES AGAIN!!!!!! Fans are too impatient. They want change every year, and they have had their way. Since 2000, the Bills have had 13 different stating QB's, 7 different Head Coaches, 9 different Offensive Coordinators, and 7 different Defensive coordinators. That probably leads the league, or is close to it, in the number of changes in those key positions. How many of those that are calling for Marrones head, wanted Gailey gone, wanted Fitz gone? I want continuity. I want a HC given ample time to fix the areas that needed to be fixed. I am tired of starting over every 2 or 3 years with the same result. Those who wanted change every couple of years have got what they have wanted. It has resulted in 14 years of ineptitude. It is time for a change. Give the Head Coach time to fix the problem, 4 years Minimum. It is time for a different approach.

Does anyone actually think Belichick's great defensive mind really held the high scoring Bills to 19 points in Super Bowl 25? That game launched his career. IMO he started taping a long time ago. I would not put anything past him. He will do ANYTHING to get an advantage.
