Figster Posted June 30, 2017 Share Posted June 30, 2017 He is. I like him, but let's see it come out to something positive on Sundays. Game day coaching in itself is very important. We've seen what happens when it's bad the last two seasons. What happens on game day is a reflection of what happens in practices, spring training, preseason and every working minute leading up to the 1st game of the season in my humble opinion. A Pats/ BB football team is next to impossible to beat because they're prepared for anything. Buffalo hasn't been coached properly since the days of Marv Levy. McD is the key...

I think he gets a bad rap from the fans and doesn't deserve it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Gun Posted June 30, 2017 Share Posted June 30, 2017 Wrong. It points to the fact that the defense was the main problem, along with game day coaching in 2016. This is why the Ryans are gone. If Atlanta had run the ball, they would have won. They'll learn from that in the future. It matters. Does it ever stop? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What am I wrong about exactly? Are you just arguing a point I never made? If Atlanta had run the ball, they would have won. They'll learn from that in the future. It matters. You know this how? Oh right, you don't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I kind of think everyone knows that if they had run the ball, NE would have run out of time. Was kind of a big topic after the SB. Kind of was. Does it ever stop? No, it doesn't from the few.

Figster Posted June 30, 2017 Share Posted June 30, 2017 (edited) What am I wrong about exactly? Are you just arguing a point I never made? You know this how? Oh right, you don't. I really do think two seperate game plans, one for the 1st half, one for the 2nd half is what it takes to beat BB because the Pats half time adjustments are what championships are made out of in my humble opinion.

JM2009 Posted June 30, 2017 Share Posted June 30, 2017 Does it ever stop? http://buffalonews.com/2017/01/14/bills-2016-defensive-autopsy-rex-ryan/ "Ryan had a disappointing first season in Buffalo, when the Bills defense fell from fourth to 19th in total yards allowed and first to 31st in sacks. Ryan followed that up in 2016 with another 19th ranking before being fired with one game to play. The offense ranked higher than the defense in both yards and points per game in each of Ryan’s seasons in Buffalo. "It’s the same thing every week," linebacker Lorenzo Alexander said after the Dec. 4 loss to Oakland. "At the end of the day, we have to go out and put four quarters together. That’s something we haven’t done all year. So we have to, at some point, ‘do’ instead of talking about why we haven’t.” But the Bills never did that. They lost seven of their final 10 games to finish 7-9, missing the playoffs for the 17th consecutive season. They lost six games when scoring at least 24 points, the most in the league, and Ryan was fired. More often that not, Ryan had his defense to blame."

SlimShady'sSpaceForce Posted June 30, 2017 Share Posted June 30, 2017 Kirby Every winning team is what we should focus on. Sure Miami is a team we should beat. But it's 2 of 16. I can focus on single games too. Like the collapse against KC in 15 and the collapse against the Raiders in 16. Both were needed to help secure a legit challenge for the WC spot in their respective seasons. Squeezing wins against the dregs is also telling.

John from Riverside Posted June 30, 2017 Share Posted June 30, 2017 Does it ever stop? He isnt wrong here sir. Kirby Every winning team is what we should focus on.

Actually...I hope they are focusing on the teams that are not winning as well Hate to have those as losses on the bills record when they are trying to get into the playoffs. My philosophy is beat the teams you SHOULD be and try to find a way to win the games that you probably should not. Of course you wont win them all....the Patriot games are gonna be mega tough Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course you wont win them all....the Patriot games are gonna be mega tough The first step to becoming a consistent winner is beating the teams you are supposed to beat. Then to take the next step you need to start getting some upsets against teams you aren't supposed to beat. Once you get those upsets with some regularity those teams become teams you are supposed to beat and the cycle repeats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When we look back at the 2004 season how often do we discuss the Jags, Raiders and Jets games that we lost by a combined 8 points? We sure talk an awful lot about that Steelers game. That was Miami last year. The Bills had a game won that would have likey sent them to the playoffs. Instead they are home. I could even argue, and will, that the Miami game was of greater importance than the other 2016 games because of its impact on the tiebreakers. As it turns out, if the Bills didn't blow the lead with 1:20 to go they would have been in a win and your in scenario. That game had greater significance because of all of that.
