OhDozeBills Posted December 27, 2016 Posted December 27, 2016 I listened to both. Schopp and Bullfog didn't even ask Wood what he was thinking on 4th and 2 while watching the game. They actually barely talked about the game at all. Here's what I wish someone would ask Rex. He has stated that anything inside 2 yards be ready to go for it on 4th. So, you have 3rd and a long two and they call a pass play!?!? The #1 rushing team in the NFL decides to pass the ball on 3rd and 2 when they would have gone for it if they could of at least picked up one yard. I actually think they get that first down with a run on 3rd.

OhDozeBills Posted December 27, 2016 Posted December 27, 2016 Two downs to make 2 yard plus. I just don't see or hear many people talking about this. All the talk is about punting on 4th. Don't know why more isn't being made of the play call to pass on 3rd down, and especially when Rex has said twice now they were ready to go for it if it was 2 yards or less. To me, not calling a run play on 3rd was just as or more egregious than the decision to punt on 4th.
DC Tom Posted December 27, 2016 Posted December 27, 2016 (edited) Instead, Rex Ryan trotted out his punter, putting the defense on the field, and the rest is history. Even on Monday, the Bills head coach is convinced what he decided to do was the right thing. “I know in my heart at the time that I did it, I thought I was making the right decision.” That just sounds so much like Edited December 27, 2016 by DC Tom
Augie Posted December 27, 2016 Posted December 27, 2016 That just sounds so much like A Classic! Thanks, I'll have to share that with my sons. These things must be passed down.
Dragonborn10 Posted December 27, 2016 Posted December 27, 2016 (edited) Did no media member think to ask Rex why he is trying to win the game? It is a legitimate question. It can be framed in many ways from injury, to draft position, and also seeing other guys play. Edited December 27, 2016 by Dragonborn10
BringBackOrton Posted December 27, 2016 Posted December 27, 2016 Coaches play to win the game and don't worry about draft position.
Johnny Hammersticks Posted December 27, 2016 Posted December 27, 2016 Coaches play to win the game and don't worry about draft position. This. It would have been a very dumb question, IMO.
Augie Posted December 27, 2016 Posted December 27, 2016 This. It would have been a very dumb question, IMO. True, but his reaction may have been priceless!
Dragonborn10 Posted December 27, 2016 Posted December 27, 2016 This. It would have been a very dumb question, IMO. How is it any different than what the Sabres did?
hondo in seattle Posted December 27, 2016 Posted December 27, 2016 The vitriol for TT, Rex, DW and Russ amazes me. We're a middling team, not a bad one. Our statistics are average-ish. Our W-L under Rex is average-ish. We're not the Browns. Of course, our goal is not to be better than the Browns or even just average. It's to return to the playoffs, better yet the Super Bowl. But, as I see it, we have average coaching and an average roster. So maybe both Rex and DW need to go. But Russ? I'm not sure how Russ is contributing to the mediocrity in any way since he's neither the final authority on the coaching staff nor the roster. I think the Pegulas are in a far better position to judge Russ - since they actually know what they've asked him to do! - than any of us.
Buffalo Barbarian Posted December 27, 2016 Posted December 27, 2016 Let's pretend that we fire Russ. What changes? We obviously would hire a new team President. What does he do that's different? Hire someone who knows what QB looks like and a Coach to coach him right.
KollegeStudnet Posted December 27, 2016 Posted December 27, 2016 Ralph's old entourage needs to go. Overdorf and Brandon have hindered this club. Overdorf's fued with Butler was 16-17 years ago. Coincidence? Pegula should hire his own men. This team needs a culture change.
