PromoTheRobot Posted October 23, 2006 Share Posted October 23, 2006 Weeks 1-4: Bills are well-coached, well-prepared if not lacking a bit in talent. No turnovers, no dumb penalties. They are in every game. Weeks 5-7: They are the Keystone cops. They can't get out of their own way. Dumb play after dumb play. What the hell changed? How does a team turn to crap in the span of three weeks? Is it that the NFL figured out how to neutralize what little we had going for ourselves? Is the coaching staff unable to adjust the gameplan? Losman has been bad, but who on this team has played well? PTR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What I hate the most about this strecth was that at least before we lost close games we could/should have won. And now with blow out losses to the Bears and Pats and losing to a winless Lions team we are definitely thought of as horse crap and it sucks! There is no defending this team, no what if or they are better than there record. All we have is to look forward to IS 2007! This yearly trend is getting old!

I 90 Posted October 23, 2006 Share Posted October 23, 2006 Weeks 1-4: Bills are well-coached, well-prepared if not lacking a bit in talent. No turnovers, no dumb penalties. They are in every game. 813458[/snapback] BUMP The phrase a "work in progress" is now a cruel joke. The idea that a team assumes the character and bearing of their head coach is equally laughable. In London Fletcher's words, they just haven't been smart enough. If everything goes exactly their way they can win a close game. The staff is forced to game plan in such a way that quarterback play doesn't kill them. They have to hope that nobody lines up wrong or moves early on third down. Suffer with the knowledge that a ball on the ground is a lost ball. Suffer the play clock violations, the odd time outs. It is a high wire act that I wouldn't wish on anyone. All to protect a defense that is probably weeks away from getting adequate safety play. Not that it is guaranteed to make much difference. .

It appears what happened is that the Chicago game sent this team into a tailspin. It shouldn't have. Getting outclassed by a team like that is not something to be ashamed of, not at this point in the Bills' development. Getting beaten by Detroit is. This is clearly a team with a bruised psyche. New England just picks on teams that don't have their house in order, and ours certainly fits the case at this point. It will take some really good work by the low-key Jauron to motivate them and get them to direct the energy that might be sucked up by frustration towards the goal of winning, and starting small with this next game.

Pine Barrens Mafia Posted October 23, 2006 Share Posted October 23, 2006 It's called ADJUSTMENT. The rest of the NFL figured out what the Bills were doing and they adjusted to beat the schemes. It's what good teams do. It's what the Bills don't do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
