It's tough to get handed a new crew & train them to all be on the same page in the first year is going to be tough. DW was given the keys to a Ferrari without the training to drive it, he's actually blown deals like this before as well. You don't spend the most ever for a defensive superstar when you have nothing else really set in stone, it's a go for broke scenario that's pretty risky.

I'm not trying to be totally negative but if the defense fails & the team crashes, heads are going to roll. The expectations are really too high for a new D-coach & a major change in your defensive system, Dave W. is in way over his head.

This criticism would be valid for a totally new DC not a coach with decades experience running teams and defenses.

Yeah, because DW has basically no experience as a defensive coordinator.  He's way over his head and should be fired.

I really gotta give you credit for the accurate spelling of Wannstedt. It's hard to spell in the NFL. (hey that rhymes!)

You guys do realize that we're on pace to allow 525 points & have the 2nd worst showing by a defense? We're also on pace for giving up 300 points to our divisional opponents, that's brutul. I originally wrote this 8-15-2012. So yeah i deserve a cookie for the foresight.

Keys to a Ferrari? He's got the Ferrari engine, that's about it (D Line) There is no chassis, no body, and no interior trim. One very average 3 down LB in Barnett but that's it. That alone limits his scheme flexibility. 1 decent safety in Byrd puts a cramp on things as well. And when your most experienced starting CB is a second year player, no matter how promising the rookie is, you are vulnerable. In short we have a GREAT front four and a CRAP back seven.

Ferrari engine. Not much else.

That said, he probably had his second worse game as a DC on Sunday. It made his Jest game plan a work of art.

GO BILLS!!!

it appears that DW and team are not "gelled" yet.
