I'M hoping Rex makes changes to the defense as I type. Not so sure we can wait til the bye week.
I'm also hoping Roman is making changes to the offense as I type so we can cut way down on the 3 and outs and score more points. 10, 14, and 21 over the last 3 games (in which we are 1-2) ain't gettin' it done.
Yeah, like everything else in football. IF it works, it's genius. If it doesn't work (which it's not), it's dumber than dog****.
Problem is, IT AIN'T WORKIN'!
I wonder if maybe Rex is letting his albatross run things. Give him the reigns. Let Dennis do what he wants. Doesn't look like a Rex D to me. We don't blitz very much. Did Rex drop DL into coverage in Jersey? I swear sometimes it looks like we're running the Flex Defense.
Whenever they show Rex on the sidelines when we don't have the football, looks like Dennis is busy. Calling in plays, signaling, etc. Rex looks to be just standing there disinterested.
Maybe one of the things Rex did at his last gig that he thinks was a mistake was being too involved in the D?
True to a degree. Some DBs can catch, like Byrd or Darby for example. Gilmore is probably THE worst DB at catching the football I've ever seen. Pretty good in coverage when he's not getting flagged for playing grab ass, but flat out cannot catch the football.
No all that different.
Texans won a playoff game a couple of years ago with their 3rd sting QB.
Suck for Lucks won 2 games this year with a 40 year old at QB.
You would think that a good D for a team trying to throw quick short routes would be to bump the WRs to throw them off and hold them up until Mario and Co. can arrive at the QB.
Guys must have gotten old and over rated quickly. We led the league in sacks over the last 2 years. Now we're 20th or 27th OT whatever it is. That's a steep decline. Coaching and scheme change is a more plausible reason IMHO.
One thing may be lost in all this, don't know, haven't read the whole thread, is that our offense scored the most points than in the last 3 games. All this against a really good defense, as opposed to 10 vs Giants and 14 vs Tennessee.
Our problem is our D. We're not losing games due to ineffective QB play no matter which guys is under center.
D needs to step up and the dumb penalties gotta stop.
In part it is. But when the D gets put on the field by the O it is the D's responsibility to get off the field which they have not been able to do.
Loser mentality.
You know how to spell his name, but not "his" LOL. JK
It's too late though. Murph already calls him Special K. I hate it, but it's what Muph, voice of the Bills, has dubbed him.
Interesting you say this. I thought it was interesting in the Saints game the other night that they have 3 small, skinny, fast guys like CJ. We, on the other hand, aside from McCoy, have all big bruiser backs.
