JOE IN HAMPTON ROADS Posted October 20, 2013 Share Posted October 20, 2013 Ankle injury obviously bothering him as is Jackson's LCL...two gutty performances if you ask me, especially since many players wouldn't even bother playing with those... Freddie plays with AMAZING heart. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buffalo Barbarian Posted October 20, 2013 Share Posted October 20, 2013 Other members have pointed out an unacceptably large number of questionable offensive calls this season. I have nothing against Hackett and maybe he is the wunderkind of the future, but to put him in the OC position with ZERO NFL experience (in anything) is a real head-scratcher. The three throws at the end of the first half is prime example - gave them a TD for no reason. There have been many more. If Marrone wants to bring up Junior, fine, make him QB coach or line coach or something, not OC. Imagine if we had a Pettine-level OC . . . we'd be undefeated . . . not with our QBs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leelee Phoenix Posted October 20, 2013 Share Posted October 20, 2013 I like when we win and people are still complaining. o_O Let's Go Buffalo!! It's justified with this game. We basically won because their QB made a few horrible mistakes and ours didn't. Game management-wise, this was a HORRIBLE game by Marrone and Hackett Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeHateMe Posted October 20, 2013 Share Posted October 20, 2013 Glad to get the W but why are we passing 3 straight times to end the half? Should have been conservative there with the lead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xsoldier54 Posted October 20, 2013 Share Posted October 20, 2013 Hackett also has zero experience as a professional football coach. He has no business being our OC. Actually he does. Before his three-year stint at Syracuse, Hackett spent four seasons in the NFL as an offensive quality control coach with the Buffalo Bills (2008-09) and Tampa Bay Buccaneers (2006-07). I'll take him over you any day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beebes Bubble Posted October 20, 2013 Share Posted October 20, 2013 Spiller continues to struggle and have a lousy game.... The Jets.... That would put Miami and Bills just one win less than the Patriots (and the Jets) Pats lost and are 5-2, Bills are 3-4, Miami is 3-3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bronc24 Posted October 20, 2013 Share Posted October 20, 2013 Anyone here who claims they can coordinate an NFL offense better than Hackett is a delusional idiot. You guys do realize that we are starting Thad Lewis and our top two backs are nowhere close to 100%, right? We won a division game we would not have won last year. We are a better team.

You herd it hear last Posted October 20, 2013 Share Posted October 20, 2013 Now I'm gonna play my favorite drinking game. I sip my beer every time Marrone says "you know" in his post game press conference. He actually says it more than Leodis "mensa" McKelvin, if you can believe that.

You guys do realize that we are starting Thad Lewis and our top two backs are nowhere close to 100%, right?many think We won a division game we would not have won last year. We are a better team. I think the consensus is that many think they can do a better job calling plays. We are not talking about developing game plans, schemes, plays and things like that. Anyone with football back ground (playing or coaching) can read the Bills play book. Chart out down and distance plays, game time situations and things along those lines. Will they be successful? Who knows. It is up to the players to execute the play. Just have to put them in the position to succeed. Let them dream. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marv Levy Posted October 20, 2013 Share Posted October 20, 2013 Those stats are great but we can still be objective to certain things that happen on the football field. For instance, we tried at least three times quick swing passes that went nowhere, they didn't work and they kept insisting with them. Hackett needs to open things up at times when we have a lead, he's too cautious and his redzone sequence of plays don't make much sense at times. Bingo! Exactamundo. Redzone calls have been terrible mostly on 1st n goal. Run up the middle 3 straight times for no gain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hapless Bills Fan Posted October 21, 2013 Share Posted October 21, 2013 CJ never was and never will be a "Up the middle"/"smashmouth" type of runner. He is already breaking down. If we don't get him outside the tackles or downfield in pass patterns, we are going to ruin him early. CJ is running on a bum ankle. He needs to sit for a week or two to let it heal.

26TrapDraw Posted October 21, 2013 Share Posted October 21, 2013 (edited) What I am telling you is that what you think you are seeing may not be entirely correct because you have exactly zero experience as a professional football coach. And I'm also telling you that the OC does more than just call the plays, therefore there is absolutely nobody on this board that can hope to do a better job than the coaches we have. First off I reserve the right to express my opinion as do you and mine is Hackett does a piss poor job of making in game adjustments and it has cost us games this season. I will respect your opinion but mine is I think Hackett is in over his head and needs to do a better job.
