Big Turk Posted September 25, 2008 Share Posted September 25, 2008 I just cannot believe how disciplined this team has become under Jauron...the Bills are one of only 3 teams to have single digit penalties, and one of the other 2 is Houston who has only played 2 games. New England is the only less penalized team than the Bills that has played 3 games(they have 7 to our 9). 11 teams have 20+ penalties(led by Green Bay, Dallas, Cleveland and Carolina all who have 28) and 26 teams have 15+ penalties... I can remember a few years ago when it seemed every other play was either a false start by Buffalo or a holding penalty...now it is almost a surprise when a penalty gets called against us... All I can say is great job to coaching staff that is starting to really turn some heads around the league...they seem to be solidly coached in all 3 phases...Schonert has done a tremendous job with the offense---they actually rank in the top half of the league in both yards and 3rd down conversions and in the top 10 in scoring offense. Fewell has done an excellent job in helping lead us to the 5th rated defense in the NFL and the best defense on 3rd downs. April...well...nothing really needs to be said about him---the best special teams coach in the NFL by a mile... Jauron is the glue that holds it all together and makes everything work...IMHO this will become one of the best coaching staffs in the league within the very near future if it does not get raided by other teams looking for head coaches...

The Senator Posted September 25, 2008 Share Posted September 25, 2008 So who should replace Jauron next season? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bills7834 Posted September 25, 2008 Share Posted September 25, 2008 One of those penalties was worth it IMO. I think you all know which one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ganesh Posted September 25, 2008 Share Posted September 25, 2008 Penalties like False Start, Holding usually happen during road games, when the crowd gets to you. We have played only one road game and there are still 7 more to go. What has stopped is the stupid penalties like Unnecessary Roughness, Block on the back during return, Illegal motion etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What has stopped is the stupid penalties like Unnecessary Roughness, Block on the back during return, Illegal motion etc. Actually there was a study done that analyzed if this was true and they found that while certain stadiums had more of an effect on things like false starts, it was true for both the home and the road team...not just the road team... So while yes, they do have 7 more road games to play, IMO it really is not going to have much of an effect...if I am not mistaken they set a team record for least penalties last year and seem to be on pace to break that record again this year...

Jauron has always been a good coach. Up until now, he hasn't had teh horses. But then again he doesn't yell or give flashy press conferences, so he doesn't excite many fans.

Big Turk Posted September 25, 2008 Author Share Posted September 25, 2008 They are on pace to shatter those marks....right now they would end up with 48(3 per game)...obviously this likely won't happen, but it does appear they will easily beat those marks...

Rubes Posted September 25, 2008 Share Posted September 25, 2008 One of those penalties was worth it IMO. I think you all know which one. I don't think that one counted since it was offset by the Raiders' simultaneous unsportsmanlike conduct penalty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's more correlated to the defensive secondary and how good they are at coverage. Since most people would agree that holding occurs pretty much every play by the OL, maybe the Bills are better coached at pushing the edge of legal contact...
