Jerry Jabber Posted November 23, 2009 Share Posted November 23, 2009 http://www.buffalobills.com/media-lounge/v...68-4505a02f8060 It's nice to see a coach with some enthusiasm and not just say the usual robotic answers like "We'll have to look at the film".

MattyT Posted November 23, 2009 Share Posted November 23, 2009 The bar has been lowered so far I that doubt that Kate Moss could limbo under it while laying flat on a car creeper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SDS Posted November 23, 2009 Share Posted November 23, 2009 Yes, what the coach says to the sheep on tv really matters Adam, this may be shocking to you, but none of it matters. It's only a game. Football is entertainment. Some people find some of the ancillary activities away from the field interesting. A coach who is interesting to listen to increases the entertainment value.

Heathcliff Posted November 23, 2009 Share Posted November 23, 2009 But you have to admit it was nice to hear a coach say he was going to chew someone's ear off for their mistake...... Not just it's hard to win in the NFL............................. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not just it's hard to win in the NFL............................. Maybe Fewell will actually (here's a novel idea!) hold the players accountable! Every time I heard one of the Bills talk about how much they liked and respected DickBalls Jauron, in the back of my mind I was thinking, "sure, it's cause you can cash your checks week after week and you have a job where nobody is holding you accountable for your performance!" A bit cynical, perhaps, but the product on the field often matched that sentiment. As much as I hate Jimmy Johnson, he's does things the right way in terms of how he coaches the team. He doesn't treat everyone the same....he doesn't tolerate mistakes....he doesn't tolerate turnovers...he believes in strong defense and a running game...etc. We need someone a bit more authoritative in here, and seeing Fewell light a spark is a huge contrast to the other guy.

MartyBall4Buffalo Posted November 24, 2009 Share Posted November 24, 2009 Holding the current players accountable for the bills season, is like holding a newborn baby accountable for pooping his pants, and not using the toilet. It's hard to **** in the pot, when you can't stand on your own 2 feet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ajzepp Posted November 24, 2009 Share Posted November 24, 2009 Holding the current players accountable for the bills season, is like holding a newborn baby accountable for pooping his pants, and not using the toilet. It's hard to **** in the pot, when you can't stand on your own 2 feet. It's all about the culture you create among those you coach/manage. I don't care if we're talking about the frickin water boy. That dude has a job to do, and if he doesn't do it to the standard we've set, then we'll find another water boy. Obviously this season is in the toilet, but that doesn't mean we can't see a transformation in terms of attitude from day 1 of the Fewell regime. I've never understood why people want to coddle pro athletes. Most of us have jobs where we have a clearly defined job description and we're expected to perform to a certain level or risk being replaced by the next guy. Why should it be any different for NFL players? I'm not one to criticize them for being overpaid cause the put their bodies on the line each and every week (e.g. E.Wood). But that doesn't give them an excuse for not knowing their responsibilities on the field, and it's not an excuse for failing to do the job to the best of their ability. If nobody expects that of them to begin with, we'll never see it magically happen all by itself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
