BADOLBILZ Posted December 13, 2015 Share Posted December 13, 2015 (edited) For some inexplicable reason a myriad of Bills fans on TSW went out of their way to criticize Chip Kelly since he traded Lesean McCoy. Today, he rammed it up your collective assses and effectively ENDED their season. What it comes down to is that his inferior team, constructed with players of his choosing, executes football plays at a higher level than a Bills team that is all about high draft pick/high dollar playmaking individuals sloppily making big plays to win. That's why he went 10-6 the past two seasons with talent that Rex would have went 6-10(or worse) with. I love Greg Roman's ability to construct plays......but just as Rex crippled this team, costing them wins with his poor defensive gamelans early in the season........today, Roman over complicated things and his team just made error after error.

Dragonborn10 Posted December 13, 2015 Share Posted December 13, 2015 How do you figure Chip outcoached the Bills? By drawing up a clearly illegal pick play? By having TT overthrow a wide open Watkins by 10 yards? By having Roman call fly patterns on 3rd and 4? That said, if anything Roman was the best coach on the field. There were some nicely designed runs and formations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boatdrinks Posted December 13, 2015 Share Posted December 13, 2015 The Bills aren't exactly some benchmark for out coaching a team for a win. It looked like the Eagles players were better than the Bills. No exotic strategy or genius coaching there. Chip wasn't impressive today and his player moves have largely stunk. That team would be better with McCoy than they are without him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially in the second half their DL dominated our OL. That was one of the main reasons, among many, why we lost. In a post prior to the game I predicted that the Eagles would win because their HC was simply a better coach. But that in itself isn't a major compliment because Rex is a very low standard to be compared to. Today, he rammed it up your collective assses and effectively ENDED their season. Are the Eagles from a talent standpoint better or worse? You are asking the wrong question. The more substantive question is which coach gets his team to play at the most optimal level. Whether Rex was coaching the Bills, Jets, Eagles his team would reflect his ineptitude and sloppiness. Regardless how talented his team was his team would be less disciplined and play with less intelligence than with a more competent coach.This organization hired someone whose record clearly demonstrated his incompetence. That's what is so infuriating with this odd hiring! With great fanfare this organization touted this loud HC with a bad vaudeville act as someone who was going to lead this woebegone franchise to success. It gave this huckster a rich five year contract. The jokes on the organization. You get what you deserve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coach Tuesday Posted December 13, 2015 Share Posted December 13, 2015 Kind of a jerk post BADOL. Kelly is clearly a better coach than Rex. Neither of them would be coaching this team successfully right now though. If Chip Kelly had come here back when we hired Marrone, he'd be long gone by now and the team would be a total mess from a talent standpoint. There is more to coaching than X's and O's. Kelly would've either worn out his welcome here or he would've parlayed any small amount of success into a different and better job by now, there is no question in my mind. Rex is a bad coach. Kelly is a good game day coach but not a guy you'll ever really trust - he's a knives out, cunning self-promoter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeGOATski Posted December 13, 2015 Share Posted December 13, 2015 Really? Congrats to Chip for winning and not making any stupid mistakes, but it's kind of a stretch to say out-coached. 3 point game where the Bills shot themselves in the foot more than once. I did not like a few of those 3rd down calls, though. I hate a low-percentage pass down the sideline on 3rd and 4. Not sure if Roman or Tyrod is to blame.

Fixxxer Posted December 13, 2015 Share Posted December 13, 2015 I didn't feel Kelly outcoached Ryan. We shot ourselves in the foot many times today. I thought the defensive gameplan was good enough to slow them down. The long TD on 2nd and forever was the fault of Graham and Graham alone, probably his only big error of the game. On offense, I felt we should have tried a more frontal running attack, they were fast and disciplined defending Shady. TT wans't great today but good enough to get win. OL was shaky in pass pro. Tighpen fumble. Defensive breakdown on the long TD Pre-snap penalties moving the Eagles closer to the 1st down marker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BADOLBILZ Posted December 13, 2015 Author Share Posted December 13, 2015 Fine and Dandy, but Chip did not out coach the Bills, unless his game plan was to play possum and have the Bills offense implode with overconfidence. Most of the replies.....including this one......only further my point. Coaching isn't always about trying to fool your opponent. Ryan and Roman are GREAT at that. But what they aren't great at is consistently putting their players in plays and schemes that they can execute. There were dozens of examples of this today but perhaps none more obvious than putting Thigpen in for one play and having him commit a procedure penalty. Way too much emphasis on trickery and not enough focus on execution. And to Philly's coaches credit, their defensive scheme was not caught out of position. This also obviously EXTENDS to the abysmal Crossman. Why the hell is Schmidt punting the ball into the end zone from midfield at the end of the first half? Coffin corner for fuksake! Those yards cost them 3 points. Knowing your special teams struggles, why punt to Sproles in the middle of the field? Just bad coaching. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prickly Pete Posted December 13, 2015 Share Posted December 13, 2015 (edited) The OP isn't all wrong. The Bills defense had a hard time coping with the pace of Kelly's offense. That is by design.

dave mcbride Posted December 13, 2015 Share Posted December 13, 2015 (edited) Enh ... It was an exceedingly close game and in my opinion the Bills lost for one reason and one reason only: penalties--they killed Bills' drives and extended Eagles' drives all game. Th 5-yarders on the defense on third down were killers. Of course, if you want to blame the penalty number on the coaching, that's fair. I don't think the Bills were outschemed though. Despite his Int, Mckelvin was otherwise terrible and exploitable, and fletcher cox simply dominated.

boyst Posted December 13, 2015 Share Posted December 13, 2015 3/4 of the way through the season that could be a coaching issue i'd agree with you 9 times of 10, and do not think this coaching staff is that great. i will touch on that in a minute. today had a lot to do with how the bills players did not perform at their best level, made mistakes and played lackadaisical and aloof. i won't bandwagon the trash pile saying it was nice of mario to show up late or that watkins had two drops but at the end of the day the entire team did not put together solid games including McCoy who could not get to the next level partially due to his ol being engulfed by iggles. if rex ryan simply stepped back to let the coordinators run the team and began only acting as a master assembler of the parts and info - a figure head, a head chief, etc we would be better off. i think we should get another guru on defense and do something to add to the front office. ryan was not outcoached today. the bills did lose, kelly did not outcoach anyoen.

Despite his Int, Mckelvin was otherwise terrible and exploitable, and fletcher cox simply dominated. The penalties are ABSOLUTELY a coaching issue. Failure to execute plays as they are drawn up and committing penalities are things that go hand in hand. For Bills fans I harken back to the Mularkey/Jauron transition. It's easy to forget in the blur of losing but they went from unwatchably sloppy under the wacky-wacky Mularkey to very precise under Jauron year one just by changing coaches. I think continuity is obviously a help in executing schemes.........but just because you don't have that doesn't mean you can't execute at a high level. It's up to the coaching staff to put players in position to succeed. Yeah, sure, I won't argue that. I don't think the Bills were out-schemed though -- they moved the all all day and penalties killed one of their red zone possessions, The Bills clearly have the better offensive players. It's not close. They carried the play in the first half. But the situational footbal by the Bills in the first half was utterly atrocious. I loved his brilliant coaching of his QB when he took that sack in an unforgivable situation to leave the door wide open for a Bills victory. That was pure genius. Fortunately for him, his well coached special teams unit still flipped the field and made that play meaningless. The call to throw was actually right.....the Bills probably run the ball there mistakenly thinking they shouldn't pass in that situation...... and then get stuffed and the clock still stops at 2:00.....then they punt and commit a penalty on the punt or allow a huge return to Sproles. You know it's true. Bad coaches make bad decisions and worse excuses. Kelly didn't have to make many tough decisions today he could just sit back and watch Rex and Roman kick themselves in the nuts all day.

12Kachy Posted December 13, 2015 Share Posted December 13, 2015 Everyone has out coached Rex Ryan. He has shown that he is not a good NFL Head Coach. I was worring about the offense in the begining of the season then the D became the problem. The O needs some work but it was better then expected. The D played way worse then anyone could have thought. Thats all on Ryan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
