ALF Posted December 25, 2015 Share Posted December 25, 2015 It could take years to rebuild the defense to fit Rex's system that's my concern. He should have stayed with last season's 4-3 until he had his players. The drastic change just killed morale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mannc Posted December 25, 2015 Share Posted December 25, 2015 I love this article! http://bills.buffalonews.com/2015/12/23/ryan-dances-around-rather-than-face-the-music/ He was asked, aside from the four years left on his contract, what he believed warranted him returning next season. answer Rex Great article. A must read, especially for the "continuity" crowd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jester43 Posted December 25, 2015 Share Posted December 25, 2015 What makes it silly? Losing horses generally remain losing horses. Why prolong the agony? belichek was 37-45 in cleveland. Great article. A must read, especially for the "continuity" crowd. i'm usually with bucky when he's swinging the axe but i think he's wrong. plus, even when he's right he's a huge troll.

Manther Posted December 25, 2015 Share Posted December 25, 2015 The article raised two very salient points which make the rest of its points moot and its conclusion illiogical. According to the article, Rex failed to understand that his blitz-crazy scheme was not needed in Buffalo, as unlike at the Jets, we have the personel to apply preasure 1-on-1. Also according to the article, Rex's blitz-crazy scheme is outdated and nigh obsolete in today's NFL. Considering the concept that Rex couldn't see or get past his penchant for using his blitz-crazy scheme when it wasn't needed, is there any reason to believe that he will be able to see that it has become generally ineffective in today's NFL? And furthering to that, when one considers that his reputation for successful and inovative defense is pretty much based upon a scheme that is now mostly obsolete, is there any reason to believe that without that defensive scheme (even if he can get past his predilection for using it) that Rex could be anything more than an average at best HC(or DC)? Well said!!!!!Rex is what he is at this point. He didn't go wrong at all, he conned the Pegulas into that sweet 5 year contract. What went wrong was the hire in the first place.Agreed! That is the case made by his defenders/most positive view It's hard for the GM to properly support his coach if the coach won't be honest about what he needs It's hard for the coach to be honest with the GM if he's just "won" the HC job interview and "sold" the media by telling his future employers "I'm not a scheme guy, just get me good football players" Yep Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Over 29 years of fanhood Posted December 25, 2015 Share Posted December 25, 2015 "when comparing 2014 Schwartz to 2015 Rex the injury disparity is so drastic it can't and shouldn't be ignored" oh there are plenty of "smart" football people who completely ignore it Interesting that no one mentions 2013, where they did have a bunch of injuries and still led the NFL in sacks.

Nanker Posted December 25, 2015 Share Posted December 25, 2015 Rex went wrong when he erroneously assumed his Pro Bowl caliber players were intelligent. They're not. They're as dumb as a box of rocks which is to say, dumber than him and his coaching staff but not by a lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billsfan_34 Posted December 25, 2015 Share Posted December 25, 2015 where did he go wrong: He promised the playoffs, promised a bully promised to be first in defense bought a bills truck ate dog biscuits, put on a clemson helmet at a press conference didnt challenge properly in a do or die game and generally sucks big hairy toes! Went skydiving, dont forget that! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ALF Posted December 26, 2015 Share Posted December 26, 2015 Having a complex defense with last second substitutions can be countered by a hurry up offense. imo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
