Fan in San Diego Posted December 24, 2006 Share Posted December 24, 2006 Don't know if it's Dick Jauron or Steve Fairchild but there was two huge playcalls that lost us the game. 1) At the end of the 1st half when they threw an incomplete pass to stop the clock leaving a minute on the clock before kicking the FG. They should have run it and drained another 43 seconds off the clock. result is Vince Young gets a TD. 2) That putrid playcall at the end of the game. You kick the FG whether it's tough or not. The playoffs were on the line. That throw cplaycall was the stupidest of the year. This is not the first boned headed playcalling game by Steve Fairchild. Fire Steve Fairchild and keep the playbook. We need someone who is smarter that a brick to make the playcalls. He is a Mularky clone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know when the game ended I said they should be fired, but i've calmed down and i've realized this staff has done a lot well, and we'll see what this team does in the off season and how they come out next year when hopes will be high and a playoff berth will be expected.

The O put up 29 points today with no help from turnovers by the D. I'm not saying that there aren't some things to criticize but people are getting a little carried away. The D is to blame for this loss, period. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We could have run 43 more seconds off the clock before Vince Young got the ball. They would have run out of time long before getting close to the TD ! Imagine if Tennesee had 7 fewer points ? That's how I blame Fairchild. Putting our defense in Bad situations. I'm not giving the DL a free pass, Check my other posts, we need beef in the DL to stop the run.

mike1011 Posted December 24, 2006 Share Posted December 24, 2006 Not only was the offense great today, JP is progressing. I disagree with his decision to pass on 4th and 1, and the last 2 plays, but we are going forward offensively. Can you say that under the past 3 O-Coord? Didn't think so. We keep Fairchild, JP is better and the team on O is better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lurker Posted December 24, 2006 Share Posted December 24, 2006 Defense lost the game, pure and simple. Playoff hopefuls do not blow a 9-point lead in the 4th quarter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Bills were attempting to score more points before the half. Throwing the ball wasn't a "bad" decision (though I DO question lining up in the shotgun on 3rd and 1). It was the special teams that put the D in a bad position there. They allowed a big kickoff return on the next play. That being said the D should still have been able to prevent points before the half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
