eball Posted August 16, 2010 Share Posted August 16, 2010 Perhaps, I am missing the boat but that is my take on things. Not sure if I answered your questions? The ship has sailed and you're still standing at the dock. It amazes me how fans presume to know what a coaching staff is thinking or planning. This has nothing to do with whether or not I think the Bills will be competitive this year. It's about overreacting to the first preseason game. Look, I get it. Everyone is trying to find a sign -- a way to predict what is to come in September and beyond. It's just idiotic to draw broad conclusions from Friday night's performance -- and I'd be saying the same thing if the score had been reversed.

I would suggest reading the posts again instead of overacting, making incorrect statements, and using insulting language. You might get a little more respect around here.

Cash Posted August 16, 2010 Share Posted August 16, 2010 Before you get your collective panties in a knot over Chan getting conservative (in pre-season game#1 no less), have you considered that Chan wanted to practice drawing the opponent offsides? And did you hear that yesterday was a pre-season game? I'm not sure judging by the comments. PTR That's hilarious. The "try to draw the opponent offsides, but otherwise don't snap the ball" move has worked like 4 times in NFL history. They might as well practice the Immaculate Reception.

CodeMonkey Posted August 16, 2010 Share Posted August 16, 2010 The "try to draw the opponent offsides, but otherwise don't snap the ball" move has worked like 4 times in NFL history. Chan added a new twist actually. Wasting a timeout at the end of it all instead of taking the 5 yard penalty at midfield thus helping to use all timeouts with 8 minutes (almost) left in the half. That was DJ worthy. Of course if whoever called the timeout learned not to ever !@#$ing do that again in their lives, then it was worth the brain fart in preseason.

nobody Posted August 16, 2010 Share Posted August 16, 2010 I think it all boils down to what does the team need to practice more .... Fourth and short to accomplish a possible game changing play or A punt We can all rest assured that when "crunch time" comes Mooreman will be able to take the field with full confidance that he's seen this situation in preseason. Based on giving up TD on a punt return; I think they need practice with that also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
