Did I say it did?

Just wondering if everyone regressed on defense this year or nah?

Big Cat, the first point is not a stretch. Don't dig in on that. RR has never had a DC who doesn't run his defense. Ever. Worse than 2014 due to injuries? Sure. As bad as 2015? I don't think so. And the added bonus would be that Mario wouldn't quit. I just think it's logical to assume it's easier to fill 5 holes than 10 and, and those 5 replacements are more likely to be better than their 10 scenario counterparts and I treat that as a certainty. And that filling holes constantly leaves you in bad shape to make a roster contender quality. Here's an example. We have no #1 WR. We need one. We draft Sammy by trading up. 2 years later, we need another big WR weapon. BMarsh is on the block. We have no 4th due to the prior trade-up. We get outbid by the Jets, and he proves to be a real difference maker. When you're constantly spending assets on filling holes, you miss out on the moves that get you over the hump, IMO.

You said that JS was offered to stay and declined. While that is the story, that's ignoring the fact that he'd be doing nothing, and Rex was going to install his system. Everyone knew this. The hiring of RR ensured another schematic change, even before Schwartz quit, and basically forced him out. Fine, let's ignore that for the time being. Quick question, do we have the horses up front? Seems logical that if you've already paid a bunch of cash to the horses upfront, you should retain the DC whose scheme just utilized that to great effect. Do you disagree? I was here. However, the salary cap is looming, and I doubt we have any real chance to fill our offensive needs and our self-inflicted defensive needs. I suppose it's possible, but I'm not betting on it. Minor quibble as well, Miller has been bad and the rest of the moves have had varying success.

I've explained this 100 times.

So in the same breath as calling me summarily wrong, you think the JS offer was something real? Okay. Explain to me how "overhauling a system" worked out okay in '13 and '14? I mean, Pettine to Schwartz was a total overhaul. 5 DC's in 5 years Big Cat! It's a miracle they even knew where to line up, right? Also explain how it is easier to find 2-3 new LB's, 1-2 S, 1 DE, 1 DT, 1 CB as well as a new RT, a new WR, and a QB prospect, than it is to hire a new DC and only have to do a quarter of that? Also, JS has a lousy track record as an HC, but RR's is sparkling? Do you come up with these "opinions" before or after decisions are made by the FO?

Sounds like a pretty good DC. How is he as an HC?

14 Carp over 15 Carp. 3-0.

It's not? Why'd you post this? What reason did you have for posting this to me besides manning your post and making sure everyone reads your pamphlet 100 times? Please, walk me through the thought process. As for "Well, if you think 6 DC's in as many years and overhauling a system again is the way to go and that it's easier to do that than find players to match the one you got," We can't do anything for the last 6 years. Those are dead and buried. Not sure how changing from a 4-3 to 3-4 in 2011 matters today. Makes a good sounbyte though. Perfect little dash of sensationalism and no substance. Quick question though. Why weren't you pounding the continuity drum this hard for JS? I mean, was 5 different DC's bad? Or, at that point, did you just say, "to hell with it, let's go for #6?" And yes, it's easier to find one quality DC than multiple quality new players with our middling draft picks and salary cap status. Not to mention the opportunity cost associated with it. Chan was terrible at it, but Marrone did pretty well.

It's amazing how consistent he is! It's crazy!

I said it's just as easy to fix the defense as it is to fix the Mario problem. Fire Rex and fire Mario. Again, if you actually read the words instead of jumping into a rambling narrative, you'd be fine. I wasn't even addressing you, but K-9. And for whatever reason, you feel the need to yet again bash everyone on the head with your posts.

Mario has quit on the team. It's not like you've discovered a secret. I don't think I've seen one person deny this.

How many did the Bills have?

Why not?

Just now, Christmas day, same thing

Couldn't put up 160+ back to back. Great season folks. Everyone besides Gary, bow before your runner-up. Especially you jboy.

Just like 5 of the last 6.

They are equal. Two calls into Terry's office, and bags packed for the both of them.

Feel the rush!

He's not too far off the mark.

None of those situations mattered and no one pointed a finger at the owners. They were handled fine.

Deep posts to SWAT all day. A man can dream.

Let the Money Team era begin.

Wouldn't even consider it.

Tyrod over Cutty? Lunacy.
