Bangarang Posted December 4, 2011 Share Posted December 4, 2011 Abandons the run. Calls the most retarded slant plays that don't do anything but waste time. Hires the worst defensive staff ever. This team is going nowhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Livinginthepast Posted December 4, 2011 Share Posted December 4, 2011 What the hell was with that last drive? passes only in the middle?? and nothing deep. Totally useless. The drive in the 2nd q that they got a FG on was also poor playcalling in the red zone! They ran the ball so effectively and then with the Titans tired out, they pass!!

Hapless Bills Fan Posted December 4, 2011 Share Posted December 4, 2011 (edited) Abandons the run. Calls the most retarded slant plays that don't do anything but waste time. Hires the worst defensive staff ever. This team is going nowhere. I like to cultivate a sense of perspective. However, I was rather appalled by his presser. There was a reference to us being "down by two touchdowns" and "needing to pass the ball" and to CJ not getting it done. CJ had the best first half we've seen from him as a running back, and a frustrating one - that long TD nullified by a holding penalty - OUCH. We were never down by two TD that I saw - we were down 17-10 at the half, and 20-10 at the end of the 3rd quarter, which is two scores, but not two TD. He left a poor impression on me as someone who was frustrated and angry and worst, out of touch with what really happened in the game. Edit: whups, it appears I've posted in the wrong thread. This is knee-jerk Fitz 'n' Chan bashing. Thoughtful analysis must be up two floors down the all on the right. Apologies, gentlemen, carry on!

opfball91 Posted December 4, 2011 Share Posted December 4, 2011 Fitz made plays today, and missed plays today. He's stopped playing gutsy and started playing conservatively with his throws. Less interceptions, but he doesn't feel like the Fitz I knew and loved. He is getting more accurate (slowly), though not in the deep throwing game. Brad Smith is finally stepping up, Spiller looks better every game he plays. We're gonna have talent in a year or two. And I'm just as tired of saying that as the rest of you are, FYI.

RealityCheck Posted December 5, 2011 Share Posted December 5, 2011 I have tremendous respect for Chan's aggressiveness. Unfortunately, he always has a poor excuse as to why the run game is not used enough. He abandons it entirely and I just can't see why. When we bring the FB in good things usually happen. CJ was demonstrating a little of that homerun ability today and should not have been shelved even if we were down by 2 TDs, that's supposed to be the reason you get a guy like Spiller in the first place.

miserable_fan Posted December 5, 2011 Share Posted December 5, 2011 I was so upset with Chan today. I don't think he is a great coach at all. However, after watching Ray Rice run for over 200 yards against DJ's defence, I suddenly realize how much (if nothing else) more entertaining the Bills are to watch.

thepizzaking Posted December 5, 2011 Share Posted December 5, 2011 I'm beginning to think Chan wants the spread to succeed cause it's his baby. Anything else cuts against his pride. There's no other reason to abandon the run in the 3rd quarter, especially when your defense was at least preventing more points from going on the board. Same thing with the Miami game. First drive we looked awesome, then he would NOT give up with the shotgun even though Levitre couldn't snap for crap. It just makes no sense from a football perspective, so something else has to be going on here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobinaz Posted December 5, 2011 Share Posted December 5, 2011 Besides abandoning the run in the second half, his clock management skills were less that desireable on the 4th quarter touchdown drive. WTF???? Why weren't they running a no huddle? They wasted too much time. Then they were in panic mode when they did get the ball back. Maybe Chan should just coach the team, bring in a real OC and get a new DC in the offseason. The offense has become too predictable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OK I am in the right thread. This. And the point about the lack of urgency in the scoring drive. One of the most interesting game breakdowns I've done this season was the Jets-NE game. NE started out mixing run and pass 50-50 with little yardage on the pass, but success overall. Then they went 3 and out on several pass pass pass drives until Brady turned on the juice with a very nice 2 minute drill at the end of the first half. In the 2nd half, they went back to mixed run and pass, and while the runs didn't get them much yardage, the threat that they might seemed to keep the Jets honest. Spiller had a great first half. Why he got put on the shelf in the 2nd half when the game was NOT out of reach, beats me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bowery4 Posted December 5, 2011 Share Posted December 5, 2011 I love how the board wants the best QB and and coach we have had in a long time run outta town again. I agree they both made mistakes all season long but it takes time (I realize the frustration with 12 years and all that but it is what it is). I see an improved football team that still needs some holes filled and some more depth. The rest of the season should provide playing time for younger guys who should be 2nd string right now. Hopefully we don't see anywhere near the amount of injuries next year and have good drafts and FA periods. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As a die-hard bills guy, I'm starting to accept the fact that this team will go nowhere as long as it's coached by Chan, managed by Buddy, and owned by Ralph. We'll suck until there's a significant shake-up in the FO. Having said that, A young talented QB might provide the lift that could pave the way for more substantial changes going forward.
