Niagara Dude Posted October 15, 2018 Posted October 15, 2018 Not sure why we continue to keep Doug Marrone garbage special teams cordinator around? Was going to get fired in Detroit before Doug hired him and should have been fired his first season hear in Buffalo. Why did Doug not take this clown with him? special teams have been brutal this season and most likely cost us the game yesterday. Our return game is pathetic and it just seems like a change is needed.
Steve Billieve Posted October 15, 2018 Posted October 15, 2018 Because he's actually a good coach! or maybe there's some nefarious reason he's managed to stick around through multiple regime changes? He didn't take the "clown" with him because we didn't let him.
YoloinOhio Posted October 15, 2018 Posted October 15, 2018 ST have been bad the last 2 weeks but I don’t think I would fire him mid-season.
DuckyBoys Posted October 15, 2018 Posted October 15, 2018 blocked punt/muffed punt/poor coverage/botched fg all in the last two games
Steve Billieve Posted October 15, 2018 Posted October 15, 2018 Not sure that you can put many of the bad outcomes on special teams on Crossman.

Happy Posted October 15, 2018 Posted October 15, 2018 I was frustrated with special teams at points yesterday. But a few hours after the game I realized that SpT and Crossman are not the Bills biggest concern. That would be the offense.

The Real Buffalo Joe Posted October 15, 2018 Posted October 15, 2018 The fumble was squarely on McCloud making a stupid rookie mistake. The blocked punt was just a good play by Houston. 2

How are fumbles by players the fault of a coach?

You literally can say that about any team in the league. There are holds and illegal blocks on almost every return play in the NFL. Whether they get called or not is a matter of dumb luck. Also, with regard to "every single week," are you referring to this season only or the past 4.5 years? Edited October 15, 2018 by dave mcbride

Saxum Posted October 15, 2018 Posted October 15, 2018 Bills had a good ST Coordinator once and in playoffs he warned the players to stay in their lanes but they didn't which is how the Bills lost the playoff games with Tennessee Titans Throw-up play. Fans blamed the coach even after players stated afterwards that the coach warned them of such potential play. And personally I think the large number of penalties were due to a referee playing his fist game in that role.
Heavy Kevi Posted October 15, 2018 Posted October 15, 2018 If there is a good reason, I sure as hell can't figure out what it is.
Guest K-GunJimKelly12 Posted October 15, 2018 Posted October 15, 2018 Taiwan Jones though. They have to kick off from their 20 and Taiwan Jones can't catch and then fumbles around with the ball. We should had it beyond the 30 or better and instead we had to start at our own 12. That was a crucial mistake at that time.
