My thoughts exactly, don't like the coaches and many of the players on each team. If I had to pick a winner it would be the Seahawks, the lesser of two evils.

Just lost my Sunday brunch appetite

One can only dream.

Agree.

The D will be fine, he will adjust his schemes to the players we have.

The article is really stating the obvious. The franchise quarterback is your ace in the hole, as long as you have one you are in contention to win it all year after year regardless of the rest of your team. (Patriots-Brady, Manning -colts/broncos, Roth.-steelers) A great defense alone can win a SB occasionally but great defenses require more players and is harder to maintain yearly. So I agree if you have a choice between a franchise quarterback vs a great D you take the QB.

I hope he's right about the OL.

Personally I don't really care how well a coach can address the public or give an interview. 99% of the time it's just coachspeak anyway and some of the worst interviewers are the best coaches (Belichick) . It's what he does in the locker room and in the games that matters. Just Win Baby!

I'm not too worried about the D. Whatever else you think about him, Rex knows defense well. He will come up with a scheme that he likes and will be good fit for the players we have now. The O I am not sure about.

I really liked Schwartz but his leaving was inevitable once he didn't get the HC job. I guess his leaving is better now than later and the D will probably still be very good under Rex. The other side of the ball remains the big problem.

The only way I like this move is if the FO had an idea of what Schwartz is thinking. If they know Schwartz would be gone after a year or be very unhappy staying another year as DC then it makes sense to hire Rex with the potential of changing the D and or losing Schwartz now or after a year.

no way.

move on.

Farewell Smiths.....I was happy in the haze of a drunken hour but heaven knows I'm miserable now.

Exactly.

In a word, yes.

Agree!

Just read his Pegula article and now this, Sully just needs to retire.

no chance.

Good move. The team was good this year because of the D which was Schwartz's doing. Marrone/Hackett's offense sucked with players regressing and is in disarray. I wouldn't mind promoting schwartz to HC to keep an eye on the D while hiring another DC and an OC to fix the offense.

Just say NO.

NE treating this like last preseason game. No game plan, resting players. Meaningless W/L outcome.
