VADC Bills Posted May 20, 2012 Share Posted May 20, 2012 No, we have just been so bad recently that a step up to average or above average (which has yet to be proven) makes us think we are better than what we have proven. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CodeMonkey Posted May 20, 2012 Share Posted May 20, 2012 I was wondering would Chan Gailey and Dave Wannstedt would be the best offensive/defensive play caller combination the Bills ever had together in one season? Based on what exactly? This may be the most inept thread ever started here that I have seen. Congrats on that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John from Riverside Posted May 20, 2012 Share Posted May 20, 2012 Dave Wannstedt is yet to be seen but as for Gailey. I love the guy. I really frikkin do. But calling slant passes and screens all day doesn't equal "the best" playcalling... Hopefully this year with a couple no name guys like Easley and Graham he can pull out some reverse plays or some kind of trickery... Im not a fan of it all the time but being that playcalling is like playing chess, the unexpected sometimes is needed... I still say feed Fred and CJ 50% of the plays and hope Fitz can take care of the rest... Hopefully we'll see a lot of 3 and outs on Defense also...We're all tired of losing and pretty much all our players know what's expected of them... This is the year for positive change... Anything less than a playoff berth is a failure... The borderline would have to be that if week 17 if we still have playoff hopes and don't get in, then I'd also call that a success because at least we were in it til the end instead of being mathematically ruled out of the playoffs by week 13... I think Gailey adjusts his play calling to what is available to him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lurker Posted May 20, 2012 Share Posted May 20, 2012 Why didn't we fear this pair when they were in the same roles w/ Dolphins?? Who says we didn't: 2000 Season W-L (lost both games) 2001 Season W-L (lost both games) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shoretalk Posted May 20, 2012 Share Posted May 20, 2012 Uh ... they have yet to call plays together. It is easy to forget that our teams in the 60's had great coaches, our early 80's teams were not slouches (victory over Dolphins to end their domination over us), and of course the Levy years. When you combine the players we have with our coaches then perhaps they can be at the top. Key is how they make half time adjustments and wins.

transient Posted May 20, 2012 Share Posted May 20, 2012 Why didn't we fear this pair when they were in the same roles w/ Dolphins?? They took a Fiedler QB'd team to several 11-5 seasons IIRC. What's that saying about making chicken salad... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DefenseWinzChampionshipz Posted May 20, 2012 Share Posted May 20, 2012 (edited) I think Gailey adjusts his play calling to what is available to him What you "think" and what we see are different.. . I don't know who and quite frankly I don't care who's to blame for the play calling. Whether its Fitz being injured or half of the other players who are difference makers being injured, to answer the OP's question, no. Gailey is not the best signal caller to date... I DO trust that Gailey can get things turned around though. At this point I wouldn't want anybody but Gailey as our head coach. That's only my opinion though...

Happy Days Lois & Clark Posted May 20, 2012 Author Share Posted May 20, 2012 The Cowboys had the top rated defense in 1992 under Wannstedt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
San-O Posted May 20, 2012 Share Posted May 20, 2012 Let's get on the field first and see the baby before we start this. LOL! + 1 Seriously. Gailey got figured out last season, and had NO answers IMO. Let's see if he can get this team to .500 before throwing all kinds of accolades his way: PLEASE?! Damn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

3rdand12 Posted May 20, 2012 Share Posted May 20, 2012 let the water come to full boil before you add the pasta. Then drain water and add sauce and seasonings. and a sprinkle of cheese We are still at the boiling water part of the recipe. Looks like we have great ingredients ready to add, but much too soon to say how itsa gonna taste. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Broke the nasty record of straight losses against The evil Patriots that seemed nearly impossible with no real stars besides Fred and.. well Fred. that counts right?

Lurker Posted May 20, 2012 Share Posted May 20, 2012 (edited) He must have done something right to get a head coaching gig in the NFL two different times from an OC position. Just ignore him. Chan's rep around the league (and what keeps getting him hired) is that he can work effectively with mediocre talent/opportunities (that more renowned OCs or HCs avoid--right Shanny?). He adapts to what he has, rather than trying to pound square pegs into round holes... Edited May 20, 2012 by Lurker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are ALWAYS people on this board who basically are either appologists for the coaching staff and front office in place, or whoever it is, or worship them. Show me a winning season.
