nucci Posted September 20, 2016 Posted September 20, 2016 Schwartz was not going to be a DC here especially after interviewing for the HC position. The question to ask is would we have been better with Schwartz as the HC running that defense. I can't prove this but did read where Whaley wanted Hue Jackson as HC and they reached out to Schwartz to stay as DC......
GunnerBill Posted September 20, 2016 Posted September 20, 2016 I can't prove this but did read where Whaley wanted Hue Jackson as HC and they reached out to Schwartz to stay as DC...... Jackson had a preliminary discussion with Schwartz and was confident they might be able to reach an agreement. He was basically willing to continue Marrone's approach of giving Schwartz autonomy on that side of the ball. Once they were hiring a defensive Head Coach Schwartz was gone.
Bleeding Bills Blue Posted September 20, 2016 Posted September 20, 2016 No ones mentioning that they beat the browns and bears...?
Peter Posted September 20, 2016 Posted September 20, 2016 There is no question that Gilmore and Darby et al would have made plays on the Jet receivers if Schwartz had been DC because . . . Well just because. It's always sunny in Philadelphia now that Schwartz is DC there.
Wayne Arnold Posted September 20, 2016 Posted September 20, 2016 By next year we'll be finally free of the Lapband Twins and get a real Defensive mind in town. One that hopefully will be as good as Schwartz. lol yeah good luck with that.

nucci Posted September 20, 2016 Posted September 20, 2016 No ones mentioning that they beat the browns and bears...? and we lost to the Ravens and Jets.....They are 2-0 and we are 0-2.....doesn't matter who you beat...it's the record that counts.......and with a rookie QB.....they may falter but their future looks better than ours
dave mcbride Posted September 20, 2016 Posted September 20, 2016 I can say with a reasonable degree of certainty that our defense would be very good if Jim S was here. I don't pretend to know everything about other teams but it seems like Schwartz is doing without any bonifide stars. Fletcher Cox is one of the best defensive linemen in the NFL.
Billsman623 Posted September 20, 2016 Posted September 20, 2016 and we lost to the Ravens and Jets.....They are 2-0 and we are 0-2.....doesn't matter who you beat...it's the record that counts.......and with a rookie QB.....they may falter but their future looks better than ours Schwartz isn't head coach? The Jets are better than both the Browns and Bears and the Ravens beat the Browns too. This isn't a thread on Wentz either. It's on Schwartz. His defense may look good but who are they playing? If Rex's D did the same against the Eagles competition people who say who did they play too.
Coach Tuesday Posted September 20, 2016 Posted September 20, 2016 I'll say it again: complex systems don't work under the new CBA, unless you have a roster full of veterans who know the systems already. Rex is a dinosaur.
Augie Posted September 20, 2016 Posted September 20, 2016 and we lost to the Ravens and Jets.....They are 2-0 and we are 0-2.....doesn't matter who you beat...it's the record that counts.......and with a rookie QB.....they may falter but their future looks better than ours I'd certainly swap coaching scenarios!
ALF Posted September 20, 2016 Posted September 20, 2016 If the Bills kept Schwartz as DC and hired Chan OC, a hands off HC could have a winner. Switching from 4-3 to 3-4 takes a lot of time especially when it is complex like Ryan's. What could have been doesn't matter.
CardinalScotts Posted September 20, 2016 Posted September 20, 2016 I can say with a reasonable degree of certainty that our defense would be very good if Jim S was here. I don't pretend to know everything about other teams but it seems like Schwartz is doing without any bonifide stars. with the injuries we had last year he D would have stunk as well....this year can we get beyond the Browns and Bears. Revisit this is week 10
TPS Posted September 20, 2016 Posted September 20, 2016 IF things continue as they currently look, the Bills will be looking for a new HC and Schwartz will most likely be offered a position somewhere.
Hapless Bills Fan Posted September 20, 2016 Posted September 20, 2016 No ones mentioning that they beat the browns and bears...? Who actually both have more yards per scrimmage than we do. Scary thought. Oh well at least through two games we're doing better than.....the Rams and Packers?
Bleeding Bills Blue Posted September 20, 2016 Posted September 20, 2016 Sounds like the excuse Rex will use when he's on a network somewhere next year. Lol. Yes injuries to KW and AW. Dont forget Schwartz defense folded in crunch time. Not to mention Mario... watched the whole miami-NE game. I saw him in the play one time. All game... Guy just doesn't care. And they let Olivier Vernon leave, and brought in Mario. Ugh. Buffalo South...
ddaryl Posted September 20, 2016 Posted September 20, 2016 Most of us hoped Schwartz was going to stay, and in hindsight most of us were right to hope so
Al Czervik Posted September 20, 2016 Posted September 20, 2016 I can't prove this but did read where Whaley wanted Hue Jackson as HC and they reached out to Schwartz to stay as DC...... I saw Marrone leaving as a blessing because I foolishly thought we'd get new coaching like this...instead we got, um what we currently have. Silly me for hoping for something positive.
