Coaching Matters.... We shouldn't have to do a gofundme; with our savings from the Jills, we should be able to afford that...

Not directed at you Pooj... I am sick of hearing this rhetoric, it isn't just the Bills who get screwed by bad calls. It is fairly even; good teams make the plays to win the game. We had the plays there to beat the Pats*, but couldn't make them. Same thing yesterday, we made plays in the first half, but then they made a few plays, we should have challenged and didn't - even in the old NFL that could have been missed (like Beebe stepping out of bounds in the comeback game); things get missed. Calling that play back could have kept us rolling by killing their momentum. Most likely they still would have made some noise, unless our D shut them down (which wasn't going to happen with our game plan). Every team gets a bad calls (okay maybe not the Cheats*), but the good ones overcome it, the bad ones use it as a crutch ad nauseam. Our problem was all coaching related. It was an awful game plan, with 3 of their OL starters knocked from the game we didn't blitz; we played the soft crap D that the pats* shredded us with in our first match-up this year. Good teams play to their strengths, when the opponent takes away your primary, you are ready and able to move to the next target and so on. Our D, whether Rex likes it or not was constructed to play a certain style of D that was fairly effective for the past 2 seasons. Instead we will scheme and adjust to our opponent - good so you rush 3 and put 8 into coverage against a QB who doesn't throw to WRs - not too smart. Our offense moved into conservative mode, don't turn the ball over only take what they give - this is what happens when you do that - you lose. We don't play to win the game; we play to limit mistakes and only take what is there for us. This is our culture, this is the team's psyche; this is who we will be until coaching starts to change the culture and the message. People complain that all be solved with a franchise QB; that helps to a degree (I doubt we could get one to develop and our coaches would tie his hands anyways), but we will never be in a position to get one. Good enough to not get a top 2 pick, but bad enough to never make the playoffs (not like we would do anything anyways). We hire coaches with the same type of philosophies when it comes to game management, we play not to lose, we don't play to win. A frachise QB won't all of a sudden allow a play not to lose coach to shed his skin and change. All of our coaches this century are play not to lose type coaches. You won't get anywhere with that mindset. Rex is the same. The moral of the story, ref's blow calls all the time good coaches are able to get the most out of their teams to overcome it. Poorly coached teams never overcome it and the calls become the crutch.

We can't have nice things...

You have faith in all of our coaches?

I honestly think this team will be worse next year once we start shedding players to run Rex's scheme...

LOL I didn't originally mean to, but as I was replying I changed my mind. That honestly is how big the gap truly is and is one reason why they destroy everyone in our division. Playing Ryan the last 6 years in NY, and whatever miscast of coaches us and the 'Phins had is...I don't even know what it is..it is just sad...

Come on now...they are going somewhere... To sunny weather and golf courses in a few more weeks. Rinse and repeat...

Wish it was Lady instead....

How long has it been since we had a coach with "situational awareness"? As much as I hate the Cheats**** and Bellicheat****; they are the best in this regard. They may cheat to know the plays, but damn it the are aware of each situation and what the correct call is; every time. In a league with as much parity as there is and the frequent hiring and firing of coaches; this stability and honestly knowing how to coach is a huge leg up on everyone else. When you are at the top of the food chain, you are responsible for the system that everyone works in. As an HC you are the "situational awareness" guy; you don't call F'ing plays; every play! You need to watch the plays and know what is going on with your team. Given how atrocious the officiating is; it is inexcusable for him to not have a working communication system with the "guy" in the booth. Shifting the blame to others for something that is a core job responsibility of his, shows that he is a charlatan...

He does have one... https://twitter.com/MinisterTrapp

"She had to break up with him because she just couldn't handle it," an anonymous source with intimate knowledge, apparently, of Culpo's sex life told the NYDN. "He still hits her up, but she just can't deal with the sex thing. He's pretty adamant about it, I guess." http://www.msn.com/en-us/sports/ncaafb/tim-tebow-benched-by-girlfriend-olivia-culpo-because-of-his-abstinence-report-says/ar-AAfN6rM?li=BBnba9I

Rex calls the plays though... Dennis Thurman = Curtis Modkins

Tyler Dunne ‏@TyDunne 12s13 seconds ago Players say the #Bills decided to contain Alex Smith, play more coverage than blitz. Backfired badly. Team credited for zero QB hits.

It happened the first time when Butler left; the second time should have been last off season by the Pegula's...

Hey now...It starts at the top

I hope that's all your jerking

Everything is drenched in that nasty stench. Burn it all to the ground and start fresh...coaches, GM, scouts, players etc....

So whats wrong with Soft Sammy?

We may have gotten hosed on calls, but we styill had a few opportunities to win in spite of this and our players didn't convert and made mistakes. The game was there for our taking even with these calls....

He was hustling all night. One play in the 4th he was running into the back field and changed course and ran all the way to the RB who was talked for a 8 yardish gain. He harassed Brady all night.

Jason Cole ‏@JasonColeBR 1h1 hour ago That #Patriots player who ran on and then off sure looks like a guy subbing in.

Someone needs to get Ernie Adams on this...
