BuffaloBillsMagic1 Posted October 18, 2015 Share Posted October 18, 2015 (edited) Just looked and last year's Rex's team is now 4-1, matching the number of wins they had last year under Rex when they went 4-12. Our team, which was 9-7 last year has only 3 wins and looks lost. I say coaching does matter a lot and wished we signed the guy the Jets signed. Quiet, demanding guy who demands discipline.

Weird...I look around the NFL over the years...and teams missing their starting QB, starting OT, top 2 WRs, and most their RBs typically don't win much. But somehow Rex is bad because a team starting backups at most skill positions can't get it done against a 5-0 team? Its not fair to judge Rex on a team missing its best players most the season. Let this team finally all get healthy and then judge what he can do with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BuffaloFan68 Posted October 18, 2015 Share Posted October 18, 2015 Right now Jim Shwartz looks like a better DC than Rexxie I would love it if Whaley would/could bring Jim Shwartz in as Asst HC & DC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VaMilBill Posted October 18, 2015 Share Posted October 18, 2015 Look at what Jim harbaugh did for San Fran. Bruce Arians in Indy and Arizona, Pete Carroll in Seattle and obviosly BB. Honestly I think a good coach is more important than a QB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris heff Posted October 18, 2015 Share Posted October 18, 2015 Yes a coach does matter and Rex Ryan is not a good one. His team is undisaplined and the only thing confused by his defense is his defense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Augie Posted October 18, 2015 Share Posted October 18, 2015 This is a very talented team, with a .500 record. That's on Rex. The D is under-achieving, ST's stink, we lead the league in penalties (by a comfortable margin), offensive play makers are not making a lot of plays. Roman is an upgrade, the rest is garbage. And it's all on Rex. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Today I sawit from them. Alas, I didn't see it from our Bills. Instilling a sense of mission comes from the coach. Plenty of talent here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gray Beard Posted October 18, 2015 Share Posted October 18, 2015 silly thread title. i guess you could ask that is some sort of rhetorical or hypothetical or sarcastic sense. yes, coaching matters, and it is a huge reason why the Bills are playing so badly. How can the defense be among the leaders in sacks one year, to having almost no sacks the next? How can the offense not exploit seam routes, rubs and quick throws? How can the defense have no answer to these tactics? I think there has been a paradigm shift that favors the quick passing game, possibly due to rule changes to protect against late hits, hi-low blocks, etc., along with the way penalties are being enforced, and this coaching staff hasn't caught on.

BringBackOrton Posted October 18, 2015 Share Posted October 18, 2015 Considering Marrone and Schwartz did more with less, the answer to your question is yes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corp000085 Posted October 18, 2015 Share Posted October 18, 2015 My coworker, a lifelong Jets fan, told me over the winter that I'd be wishing for a new coach by Halloween. He went on a rant about Rex Ryan being all talk and no show. Bad defenses, bad penalties, and inexcusable/uninspiring play. Turns out he might be right, and as I said in another thread... As much as it pains me, since the last guy was a jerk, but possibly... Doug Marrone > Rex Ryan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuffaloFan68 Posted October 18, 2015 Share Posted October 18, 2015 I'd have Shwartz on stand -bye & speed dial. If we loose to the Jags - Rex is toast. The Bills were not pumped up for this game - very flat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Best Player Available Posted October 18, 2015 Share Posted October 18, 2015 Right now Jim Shwartz looks like a better DC than RexxieI would love it if Whaley would/could bring Jim Shwartz in as Asst HC & DCIMO that is hard to argue. Schwartz knew something when he turned the DC job down.And it was more than being butt hurt over not getting the Bills HC gig. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let this team finally all get healthy and then judge what he can do with it. Compare how the Jets played under mouthy Rex to how the Jets are performing under silent Todd Bowles. Whether we are missing our best players or not isn't the test of good coaching, it is how your players, including your subs, play. There is a lack of discipline and intelligence in their play. Brooks makes a routine tackle on a punt and then gets in the face of the person he tackled talking trash in front of the referee. This came after the HC for the past couple of weeks hasemphasized the necessity to keep one's composure and play with discipline. Maybe the HC needs to get better bracelets to remind his dopey players to maintain their discipline on routine plays? There were question marks regarding the offense entering the season. Everyone was aware of the problem area. However, this team is built around its defense. The preponderance of the cap is directed toward the defense. Considering its talent level it is underperforming. What happened to the once dominant pass rush? It has vanished! The HC's specialty is on the defensive side of the game. By any measurement Schwatrz got the defense to play at a much higher level with mostly the same players than this self-promoting braggert HC has.
