BillsFan-4-Ever Posted September 18, 2013 Posted September 18, 2013 after 2 weeks? no way ... NOW if the D kicks butt for the next 10 weeks like thye just did.... then I'd agree with you

Clippers of Nfl Posted September 18, 2013 Posted September 18, 2013 I think we are jumping the gun a little but i do like the 'find a guy on the staff' approach first. If we see the difference in the D you can bet Brandon and Whaley do. I doubt they will allow another old retread D Cord like Wanny to ever step foot back at One Bills Drive. Too much credit for a losing franchise imo.
Miyagi-Do Karate Posted September 18, 2013 Posted September 18, 2013 Should someone dreg up the "how long do we keep wannstedt before he gets a HC job" thread?
atlbillsfan1975 Posted September 18, 2013 Posted September 18, 2013 Too much credit for a losing franchise imo. Come on man, it is hump day. the glass is half full! Besides Brannon and Whaley seem like smart younger guys. I doubt we see many 60+ y/o guys hired anytime soon(yes Wanny turned 60 in May 2012). Nothing against you 60 y/o guys.

San Jose Bills Fan Posted September 19, 2013 Posted September 19, 2013 Donnie Henderson. I concur. Yup. Convincing myself that this is the case has assuaged my fears about him leaving. But here's a legit question: does he want to be a HC? I think he does. As you know his dad is the winningest high school coach in Pennsylvannia history. Pettine strikes me as a guy with enough ego and self-confidence to want to get that chance.
Thunderstealer Posted September 19, 2013 Posted September 19, 2013 It's too early to give him the 2 models in the president suite. He's at free lap dance stage. Why is everything sex for me. Why. Somebody help me, please? Well it all hinges on whether it's a Canadian or American lap dance. BIG difference.
Meatloaf Sandwich Posted September 19, 2013 Posted September 19, 2013 I highly doubt Pettine will be HC anytime soon... League is going heavy toward offensive coaches.
Captain Caveman Posted September 19, 2013 Posted September 19, 2013 How soon can they extend Pettine If there's one thing I have learned from Jauron and Fitzpatrick it's that extending a coach or player based on the performance of 6 games or less is an awesome idea.
MDH Posted September 19, 2013 Posted September 19, 2013 The Bills have allowed the most points of any team in the AFC East. In fact, they've allowed 50% more points than any other team in the East. Only 5 teams in the conference have allowed more points than the Bills. They're ranked 18th in yards and 15th in points in the NFL. They've allowed teams - at the end of games - to move down the field and score points that caused a loss and the need for an unbelievable comeback. Are people really talking about Pettine as if he's on his to a HC job anytime soon? I agree with people - the D looks much improved from last year. But that's not the standard we should be holding him to. Success or failure is not related to whether he's better than Wannstedt. Of course he's going to be better. Am I encouraged? Absolutely, this D has the potential to be great, but it's nowhere near there yet. Why is it that people separate to the poles? Everything either has be be either FANTASTIC!!! or SUCK!!!
metzelaars_lives Posted September 19, 2013 Posted September 19, 2013 Man too many of you have busted out the jump to conclusions mat way too early.

dave mcbride Posted September 19, 2013 Posted September 19, 2013 I love Pettine so far, and think he's a great hire. This is interesting: http://nypost.com/2013/09/18/former-jets-coordinator-excited-to-face-brother-rex/ . I'm guessing there's something to the accusation given that Pettine doesn't really deny leaking (he just denies that all the leaks were from him). I wonder what the real story is.
Billshank Redemption Posted September 19, 2013 Posted September 19, 2013 Yea.... lets chill out a bit only been 2 games.
DefenseWinzChampionshipz Posted September 19, 2013 Posted September 19, 2013 (edited) How about we play a few more games first? We've started out hot before, and we're only 1-1 right now. Solid coaching is not just starting off strong, but adjusting as the season goes on. This! What we really need to be hoping is that Pettine's eventual replacement is already on the Bills' staff, soaking it all in. Provided he continues to develop what he has started here on defense, I think we have Pettine for two years, then he'll get his shot. Annnnnnd This!

C.Biscuit97 Posted September 19, 2013 Posted September 19, 2013 I think it's a great idea. The Bills have never had an in season extension backfire on us right?
Best Player Available Posted September 20, 2013 Posted September 20, 2013 Surprised Ralph hasn't put up on the wall yet. The team is already 1-1
