safetyblitz Posted November 3, 2008 Posted November 3, 2008 The Bills moved the ball all day and shut the Jets down for the most part. They lost because of turnovers and a talent deficiency on the offensive line (Preston and Whittle stink). That's hardly the coaches' fault. You are in Denial, since the St Louis game we have had the same glaring issues. We can't get off the field on Defense and we can't run the ball. Every game since then our coaches have done nothing to develop a scheme to surprise and confuse the other team, same old BS and we get owned. Then the same old excuses, we tried hard, they made the plays, BS> YThis team is in quicksand one more loss and the entire season will unravel.

It is the coaches that decide who stays and who goes. Since you feel there is a talent problem, then you need to address the people who are responsible for that. And that would be the coaches.

Cynical Posted November 3, 2008 Posted November 3, 2008 I consider all non-blatant holding calls "phantom-calls" because its all the discretion of he referee's mood. He clearly did not want us to get a first down. What does a player have to do to make it blatant? Tackle the other player? Oh ... wait ... I think the Bills player essentially did that ... in the open .... in front of the official ...
Adam Posted November 3, 2008 Posted November 3, 2008 If anyone thinks our coaching the past few games isn't completely terrible then they are wrong. You simply cannot defend it. Its terrible. I hate to say it but Jauron has no clue. I question his decision to rush Edwards back from his concussion- he clearly is slower in making reads and is making poor decisions. Prior to the brain injury (which is what it is), his decision making and quick reads helped mask the deficiencies at center and right tackle. The decision to rush him back was as bad as what Cleveland did to Derek Anderson heading into the season.
Arkady Renko Posted November 3, 2008 Posted November 3, 2008 It didn't seem like we had intention to try to run on the Jets. Every team runs on us on 3rd and 1, we know it's coming, yet they convert. You know why? Because most of the time, it's easy to gain one yard even when the other team knows it is coming. Instead, it was throw on 3rd and 1, then going for it on 4th and 1. Then when the sport was poor, and the coaches had a benefit of a commercial break to look at the video type, there was no challenge. That sequence of events was a microcosm of the coaching problems lately.

It is not as if Trent played poorly against S.D. I don't think that's the problem.

San Diego plays one of the most straight up defenses in he league- YES, coming back two weeks after a concussion DEFINITELY is being rushed back. Just because you don't see the injury doesn't mean that it isn't there. Concussions heal slowly. By the way- Troy Aikman NEVER should have seen his team until weeks after Superbowl XXVIII. The trainers and doctors should have final call on who can play- not the GM, not the coach and not the owner. This has set Trent's recovery way back and was a horrible move. If they can't trust JP for a few games, they should cut him now

Gisele Posted November 3, 2008 Author Posted November 3, 2008 You're so wrong it's not even funny. Trent is fine. I truly believe that if the offense was opened up a little he would shine. I'm not saying we should throw deep ten times a game, but an occassional end around, half back pass or a throw to a tackle eligible would make me happy. Hell, just run a hurry up every now and again. It really isn't that hard.

Teams are seeing how to rattle him and confuse him.
Adam Posted November 3, 2008 Posted November 3, 2008 You're so wrong it's not even funny. Sorry, but I work with a number of athletic trainers who are pretty knowledgable. I think I'll listen to them over you, murra.... no offense

murra Posted November 3, 2008 Posted November 3, 2008 Sorry, but I work with a number of athletic trainers who are pretty knowledgable. I think I'll listen to them over you, murra.... no offense Sorry Adam, as someone who has had 4 concussions in their lifetime, I can refer to MYSELF, in knowing that after the first one, two weeks is enough time to get back to 100%. Concussions become a problem only when they pile up on you. Troy Aikman and Tim Connolly for example, fully recovered from their first concussion, but were unable to respond to multiple ones down the road. Playing hockey my whole life, my talent dropped only after my third concussion, and I have trouble reading and have constant migraines to this day. In between my first and second one, however, I was fine. Like I said, you're wrong. You don't know what you're talking about and I hope you "knowledgeable athletic trainers" haven't been falsely preaching to you.
Adam Posted November 3, 2008 Posted November 3, 2008 I don't know why you quoted me... but you're right for the most part. Yep, a concussion is just like a scatch, throw some dirt on it and it'll be just fine
murra Posted November 3, 2008 Posted November 3, 2008 Yep, a concussion is just like a scatch, throw some dirt on it and it'll be just fine That's it? Next time just admit you're wrong, thanks.
