NoSaint Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 Well, considering he was likely the Bills best DC since Wade...places the Bills in a very tough situation. The only upside that could come from this situation is if the Bills called Wade back. tough situation is a bit different than "well now were 0-16 and pettine was the only redeeming quality in the entire franchise last year" that i think some are feeling currently. hopefully our HC and front office, who once chose an effective DC for us, will be able to do so again. good coordinators are a blessing, but you end up having to replace them.

DC Tom Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 Well, to be fair, Wannstedt was lost even while he was here. Okay, because we've gone through two defensive coordinators and one defensive uncoordinator in four years. That better? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DefenseWinzChampionshipz Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 McKelvin and A. Williams will go back to sucking like they have their entire careers before Pettine. Hughes will disappear much the same way he had prior to joining w/Pettine. I believe Henderson fixed that problem for us which is the reason why he has my vote as the Bills new DC but only under one condition. That Henderson himself is to pick who the next secondary coach will be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4merper4mer Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 The reality is they will let him go, because that's consistent, I think, with normal NFL etiquette. And if he stays he will be unhappy enough having lost a shot at being a DC plus having to listen to Greggo Marrone babble all day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobobonators Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 Really?!? Is the woe is us going to predominate the mood because of one lost DC? Really?! The best defensive scheme we've had in probably over a decade and it's gone. One step forward, two steps back. Excuse me for not clicking my freaking heels in excitement. Playoff teams lose components of their coaching staff for a reason, not 6-10 teams. A 6-10 Bills teams loses Pettine for a reason. He's that good.

BuffaloBillsForever Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 Because of the third lost DC in four years. I consider Wade Phillips one of the best defensive coordinators in the game, ever, and even I'm down at the idea of him coming here, because it would be yet another DC for a squad that's had absolutely no consistency with DCs. Very true. Another thing about Wade is that the units he takes over there is no drop off in year 1 of transition with him as DC. He actually improves them.

DefenseWinzChampionshipz Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 Mike used the Bills like a $1 ho. I thought the minimum was 2 dollars. Then that means he used us like a crackhead ho... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saint Doug Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 Not really...since Wade, the Bills fielded top 5 defenses under all 3 of Gregg Williams, Dick LeBeau, and Jerry Gray. None of them were as good as Wade. Gregg Williams is a close 2nd though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tennesseeboy Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 Gotta wish him well. He did a great job while he was here. Let's see how the Bills FO and Coach Marrone handle this. Ya gotta keep keepin on.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1B4IDie Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 I agree. There is a comedy to this. We have basically one semi-decent coach in 20 years, and he's snapped up almost immediately by pretty much the only team worse than us. It's a dark comedy. Screw Pettine. He used this rinky-dink clown organization to get a HC gig at 3 ring circus. I hope they feed him to the lions. He always had too much Jest for my comfort.

DefenseWinzChampionshipz Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 I wish Pettine well (health) but I hope he sucks as a head coach. I love the jersey, not the man. Especially not one who was only with us for a year. Screw the Browns. I didn't see anyone running to hire Hackett. He'd make an excellent cheerleader.

87168 Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 I didn't see anyone running to hire Hackett. first year in the league. even if his offense was stellar, he probably wouldn't be a candidate for ANY team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
