NorthBuffaloKid Posted December 12, 2016 Share Posted December 12, 2016 ...That they can't seem to run a decent 2 minute drill ...That they can't even get an offside kick attempt to go ahead of the players. ...That they can't seem to kick an extra point. All of that and more seems to be the result of poor coaching/preparedness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4merper4mer Posted December 12, 2016 Share Posted December 12, 2016 To be fair to Rex, two of those three things involve a mullet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MDH Posted December 12, 2016 Share Posted December 12, 2016 I'm not a fan or Rex but how does Carp's inability to hit an extra point and his inability to kick an onside kick have anything to do with coaching? If you're going to start a topic criticizing the coaching there are LOTS of really good points that could be made, yet two out of your three have little (or nothing) to do with it. That being said, I'm with you on the 2 minute offense. It's been a problem all year and I have no clue how they can't get to the LoS and snap the ball with more than 10 seconds on the clock when time is a factor.

Niagara Bill Posted December 12, 2016 Share Posted December 12, 2016 It has been said before. Rex is a players coach, they love him and would run thru a brick wall for him. They just don't care to play and focus on football. They would rather focus on the brick wall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As head coach, he is responsible for keeping Carpenter. Also, he chose the coach that designed that idiotic onside kick. Rex has no idea how to manage the clock or when to pull out plays like a fake. His teams lack disciple which shows on things like extra point attempts. It has been said before. Rex is a players coach, they love him and would run thru a brick wall for him.

Perry Turtle Posted December 12, 2016 Share Posted December 12, 2016 As an organization, though, they are pretty damn good at clearing rubber pellets off a football field. So we got that going for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think some of Rex's players like him so much that they were trying to get him a 3 year, 15 + million dollar vacation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, except for that little problem yesterday where the firing reports started coming out in the morning and immediately the majority of the team flat out quit on him 30 seconds into the game. That might well have been the most clear and damning vote of no confidence I have ever seen a group of players give a coach at any level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MDH Posted December 12, 2016 Share Posted December 12, 2016 (edited) I disagree. As head coach, he is responsible for keeping Carpenter. Also, he chose the coach that designed that idiotic onside kick. Rex has no idea how to manage the clock or when to pull out plays like a fake. His teams lack disciple which shows on things like extra point attempts. Carp shanking the kick wasn't by design. As for not keeping Carp because of his extra point issues, you have to have a better option before you cut somebody. These are the teams with kickers who have missed 3+ extra points this year: Minnesota Cincy Seattle Giants Buffalo Cleveland Carolina Arizona New England San Diego If all those teams cut their kickers because they've struggled with extra points who on earth are they getting to replace them? Do you think that kickers who didn't even make a roster are magically better? Does Belichick lack discipline? Is that why his team has missed so many extra points this season? Looking at that list it strikes me that half of those teams play outdoors in the northeast. Again, I'm no fan of Rex but your point makes no sense.

KDIGGZ Posted December 12, 2016 Share Posted December 12, 2016 Not sure what an "offsides" kick is but I guess that's one way to describe whatever the heck that was that Carpenter did on Sunday. The guy has been a total disappointment the last couple of seasons after being very reliable prior Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

See, now, this sort of thing just isn't going to fly around here. You're raising issues of fact and reality whereas the current solution to everything is "burn the whole thing down." Waste no critical brain power on considering what comes after "the bonfire," just do it. Because apparently there are tons of football executives, GMs, heads of scouting, coaches and "franchise" QBs just languishing out there, unhired in spite of their presumed genius and talent, all of whom are just dying to come to Buffalo if only someone would just do the right thing and get rid of every player and everyone else at OBD.
