lets_go_bills Posted December 28, 2008 Posted December 28, 2008 The guy had an awesome gameplan. Ballsy 4th down calls, the right defensive calls, some great offensive calls. But all those can't hold a candle to what he did in the 3rd quarter. Ever the opportunist, he left his offense out on the field on 4th to go for it despite being on their own 20. The Bills, who were caught napping, trotted their defense off the field, oblivious to what was happening. Their punt return unit took the field, then they quickly noticed that they weren't punting, ran the defense back out there without a play ready and had to burn a timeout. Genius! Knowing how close the game was, he caused us to waste a valuable timeout at the start of the 3rd. I sat there in my frigid seat in absolute awe and kept saying how great a call that was. My fellow frozen fans agreed. I hate the man, but I was really taken aback at how incredible a coach he is. That stuff wins football games. Wow.
Omar Little Posted December 28, 2008 Posted December 28, 2008 The punt by Cassel was awesome, too. You've gotta tip your cap to BB and his team; they're just smarter and better than most.
lets_go_bills Posted December 28, 2008 Author Posted December 28, 2008 It just goes to show what can happen when you gameplan properly and when your team is actually prepared for their opponent.
UConn James Posted December 28, 2008 Posted December 28, 2008 I hate the man, but I was really taken aback at how incredible a coach he is. That stuff wins football games. Wow. I think the same thing about Wes Welker and BB's use of him. I hate him and I hate that they have so much success, but I do respect the little dude. He's taken some serious hits and pops right back up, and catches most everything thrown his way. And then it makes you scratch your head why Roscoe can't be used more than he is. Hate and respect-through-envy. BB plays to win. Anything that deviates from helping the team win is unacceptable. We've had a string of coaches here who've been more interested in being the players' best buddy and trying to play gentlemanly than getting the most out of this group of men, coaching smart and making the other team hurt. I watched "Miracle" last night on ABC and thought, "We so need Herb Brooks reincarnate!"
Pine Barrens Mafia Posted December 28, 2008 Posted December 28, 2008 They own us. They're Ike to our Tina.
Alaska Darin Posted December 28, 2008 Posted December 28, 2008 It helps when you know the guy across the field is a compete blockhead.
dave mcbride Posted December 28, 2008 Posted December 28, 2008 Belichik's coaching today showed why he's one of the all time greats. What a masterful display in every aspect. I've gotta hand it to him. Respect your enemies and all ...

Wow. well when your coaching against an idiot and a loser (.442 coaching winning percentage) you get made to look alot better, but you are right we will never beat NE all long as we have Dick Jauron and they have Bellicheat. I mean, they have 11 wins with a 7th rd drat pick who had not started a game since high school. If we cant beat them this year how are we ever?????????????

I've gotta hand it to him. Respect your enemies and all ... He was ready for EVERYTHING. Even the wind didn't catch him off guard.
BuffaloBill Posted December 28, 2008 Posted December 28, 2008 I agree. Just shows how far behind Jauron is when he tries to set up a field goal with a run - no timeouts and only 22 seconds on the clock to end the first half. I was dumbfounded at the stupidity of that series.
stevewin Posted December 28, 2008 Posted December 28, 2008 The thing that was unbelievable about that call was that basically on his own 20 he had to be willing to eat 5 yards for a delay of game if somehow the Bills line themselves up - unless Cassel was supposed to kick it in that case? - were they with the wind at that point?

I saw that too and realized how far ahead he is in thinking during a game.
lets_go_bills Posted December 28, 2008 Author Posted December 28, 2008 Aside from a couple of guys, the Pats aren't all that talented. They're just so incredibly well coached that player is ready for the game and knows what they have to do.
8-8 Forever? Posted December 28, 2008 Posted December 28, 2008 NO way Jauron survives this. There are all kinds of lifelong bills fans that are this close to just giving up..
Jim in Anchorage Posted December 28, 2008 Posted December 28, 2008 Bah Bah they cheat Bah Bah-better team in all areas.
No QB - No Bueno Posted December 28, 2008 Posted December 28, 2008 How many timeouts do the Bills burn early in each half needlessly? They always seem to have only one left with 25 minutes left in a half.
UConn James Posted December 28, 2008 Posted December 28, 2008 If we cant beat them this year how are we ever????????????? Just the record against our division was enough for me to want DJ gone last year, and especially this year. If you have a coach who is buffaloed by all the teams in your own division, what hope do you have? DJ took this team as far as he could.... which wasn't very far at all. And as much as DJ's performance has been a failure, so was every level of this organization that had a voice in hiring him and all the other string of losing coaches we've had here. Yes, the rot goes all the way to the top. I agree. Just shows how far behind Jauron is when he tries to set up a field goal with a run - no timeouts and only 22 seconds on the clock to end the first half. I was dumbfounded at the stupidity of that series. Dan Deirdorff was dumbfounded at the stupidity of that series, even commenting on those seconds that DJ/TS let tick down after the 2:00 warning. When Dan 'Ssssuuffffppppherrrin' succatash!!' Deirdorff of all people is dumbfounded by your seeming stupidity, Dick Jauron, you are in trouble.
lets_go_bills Posted December 29, 2008 Author Posted December 29, 2008 Jauron was so thoroughly out-coached it is just unbelievable. Jauron looked like he had no idea where he was.
twist_to_open Posted December 29, 2008 Posted December 29, 2008 I agree, Kudos to a smarter team and a smarter coach.
