OhDozeBills Posted September 11, 2016 Posted September 11, 2016 I really want to like Rex, but some of the things he says are just puzzling and it really makes me question his coaching ability. I never thought he was a great coach, but he may be far worse than even anticipated. All he wanted to do in the post game presser was talk about defense. The big play to Wallace for the TD, how Hughes got flagged for bogus roughing the passer, how Darby and Gilmore dropped interceptions that could of changed the game, how good of a defense BMore, how much better our defense will be this year. Defense, defense, and more defense. WTF game was he watching. He's the HEAD coach, not the D coordinator. ALL I wanted to hear out of his mouth was....we struggled on offense today. When you hold your opponent to 13 points you expect to win. We had too many negative plays on offense that killed drives. We probably should of taken more shots downfield. We need to and will make adjustments on offense. We need to get Sammy involved more. So, yeah, perhaps Rex is just a D coordinator disguised as a head coach. He certainly acts like it and it's hard to stomach. A head coach needs to oversee all 3 phases of the game, and I just don't think he gets it.

Ohiostyle Posted September 11, 2016 Posted September 11, 2016 I just can't be on-board with Rex. I've tried, all the undisciplined play is too much. I'm not ready to write off any player or other coach, or even the GM, but IMO Rex is a big issue with why this talent doesn't succeed.

dubs Posted September 11, 2016 Posted September 11, 2016 The offense had EVERYONE back for a second year. It looked like they just met in the parking lot before the game. They are very bad.

CommonCents Posted September 12, 2016 Posted September 12, 2016 Maybe it was the heavy drinking but I don't recall ever watching a game where players seemed to be so close to the QB and were unable to sack or strip him. What the heck was going on?

Last year, when the offense emerged all credit was given to Roman. Absolutely no credit was given to Rex. I'm all for a good Rex hating post, but this comes off as hypocritical more than anything. When the offense succeeds he is not allowed credit, when it fails, he must take accountability. Rex IS a glorified defensive coordinator. It's been the downfall of his HC career thus far. Last year was the aberration and certainly much more damning when you fail so miserably at your greatest strength. Still, aberration. More likely than not, Rex will revert to the same issues he had in New York. He will turn this group of defensive scrubs into a top 10 unit. He will bolster about the success in turning it around. We will not see progression from the offense. At which point our base will start attacking him for the offenses issues just like the New York media did. Rightfully so when you have the title of HC.

I've always wondered if the Roman praise was self-created. I never thought the SanFran offense was considered anything special. With that, Rex is the defense and leave the offense to Roman. However, Rex is still responsible for penalties, tempo, and overall atmosphere. I equally blame them both today
26CornerBlitz Posted September 12, 2016 Author Posted September 12, 2016 @TBNSports There were some #Bills smiles -- because the 'D' held up its end vs. #Ravens. @viccarucci: http://bit.ly/2cozzBV
Mark Vader Posted September 12, 2016 Posted September 12, 2016 The offense had EVERYONE back for a second year. It looked like they just met in the parking lot before the game. They are very bad. I agree. There is no excuse for today's performance. Why do we use up so much of the play clock before we snap the ball? Why do we still burn time outs during inopportune moments?

With that, Rex is the defense and leave the offense to Roman. However, Rex is still responsible for penalties, tempo, and overall atmosphere. I equally blame them both today I know a lot of SF fans called for his head, specifically for his passing game or lack of it. His route tree is not very developed and he does a very poor job creating space in the passing game. Sort of the anti Chan.... Coming up with Harbaugh, doing some unique things in the NFL with the run game, helped turn a scrub in CK into a guy who played in multiple super bowls. I think all contributed to the Roman brand. I do think he gets notoriety he may not deserve. Harbaugh was an offensive mind and likely got his hands dirty on that side of the ball. Now it's all on Roman to make it work. Still, if my primary goal is pounding the rock, he has to be my top choice. Only problem is, I'm not sure that should be the primary goal. It's a passing league and he wants to buck the trend. Sometimes that can pay off, sometimes not. Agree with everything you said as far today. Spot on.
