Bocephuz Posted December 22, 2014 Share Posted December 22, 2014 Glaring inexcusable error. At very least give him TE help.. At most put in Hairston. Clearly he hit the rookie wall .. And whether it was Mack or Tuck or whoever he was abused all day.. And Hackett did absolutely nothing to adjust. That more than anything cost us the game. I'm no Orton acolyte but he was under pressure all day today.. Hard to fault him too much Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coach Tuesday Posted December 22, 2014 Share Posted December 22, 2014 Yes, I thought the same thing. They did not adjust, even when it was brazenly obvious that Henderson was getting toasted again and again. Not even backs or tight ends chipping. Hackett is just bush-league - the entire organization and fanbase are paying for Hackett to learn (slowly) on the job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
run dat back Posted December 22, 2014 Share Posted December 22, 2014 Pass/run ratio was ridiculous today. Raiders are better against the pass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll reserve final judgement until I can watch the All 22 film to confirm.. But to my eye Henderson was beaten at least 10 times today. In past games he was only beaten 2 or 3 times.

BillsFan130 Posted December 22, 2014 Share Posted December 22, 2014 exactly!! I was saying this the whole game. why does it always seem like the opposing teams best pass rusher always destroys us? no help, no chips, nothing. Hackett is beyond terrible Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sisyphean Bills Posted December 22, 2014 Share Posted December 22, 2014 Hackett is using the same laminated play card he was using week 4. Maybe it is cost-effective? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SectionC3 Posted December 22, 2014 Share Posted December 22, 2014 We should change the title of this thread to leaving Henderson out to dry is Hackett. I read "Hackett is leaving" and I got excited becaus I thought i could refer to Nate Hackett as our former offensive coordinator. Then I read the rest of the title and was disappointed. Again.

Ted William's frozen head Posted December 22, 2014 Share Posted December 22, 2014 (edited) Glaring inexcusable error. At very least I was most amazed at how one of the announcers kept applying verbal suction to Hackett's private member by stating what a "great job" he was doing with the Bill's offense.

RealityCheck Posted December 22, 2014 Share Posted December 22, 2014 The entire O-line looked over matched today. That line may be big, but they are weak. Hacket sucks, but the O-line is garbage. The only way that anyone could get them to possibly play better is with the use of cattle prods. With enough voltage, I am sure that these guys would produce, but they are p*****s.

thewildrabbit Posted December 22, 2014 Share Posted December 22, 2014 Guys c'mon. Hackett just calls plays blindly, and doesn't take anything into account that could disrupt the plays. The opponents coaches are playing chess, and Hackett is playing checkers. Oakland had the #24th ranked run defense, and the 7th ranked pass defense going into this game. So what game plan should we expect from Can't Hackett? Yep, Bills with 49 passes vs 13 rushes....exactly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sojourner Posted December 22, 2014 Share Posted December 22, 2014 Mack was certainly a dominant force today as well as Tuck chipping in here and there but it's not just the coaches that have to take accountability for putting Seantrel on meat hooks - Orton could have easily changed protection assignments so he wasn't eaten alive nearly every play. I say Orton has to take some form of ownership for this issue as well as the coaching due to the majority of the pressure coming from inside Seantrel rather than out. I am not an expert in the nuances of protections through and through but do know that Orton and any of the following: Marrone, Hackett, Morris or Hostler could have done something to prevent this from being such a glaring problem all game.

I almost hung myself after he called a play action pass on first down with 2:51 left down by two scores. Are you kidding me? The Raiders were looking for a run there? If we had run from 300 yards instead of 13 it would have been a horrendous call. And Orton set up and immediately got sacked. That's one of the worst calls I have ever seen. Unconscionable.

Perhaps he could have figured that out.. But hard for him to objectively realize what's happening regarding 1on1 matchups with his linemen. It's one thing if he sees a blitz or stunt and adjusts.. But if he sees one on one ( which is where most of thr damage was done) what is he supposed to do? Hackett is the one sitting up in the booth watching it all. My gut tells me Hackett focuses too much on the other team's scheme and not enough on what his own guys are doing Edited December 22, 2014 by Bocephuz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
