ChronicAndKnuckles Posted December 9, 2018 Share Posted December 9, 2018 (edited) The guy has been here since 2013 and it's time for some new blood. How many losses can be attributed to Special Teams this year? Blocked kicks, whiffed punts, guys jumping out of their lanes. I know the Bills obviously weren't going to make a run at the playoffs this year, but next year I feel like they have a chance. Lets not let horrible ST play potentially cost us a game or 3. I guarantee he gets canned by the end of the year. Edit: I see this topic has already been started unsurprisingly. Sorry!

Nick the Greek Posted December 9, 2018 Share Posted December 9, 2018 You can make a serious argument that special teams cost the Bills the game. Sure, you can’t stop every single return but the Jets got huge yards every time. I’m for patience and continuity, but Crossman needs to go. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Formerly Allan in MD Posted December 9, 2018 Share Posted December 9, 2018 This is less about special teams than it's about Crossman's need for significant special coaching education. He should have been out of here a while ago. Today, he should have been gone by halftime. If he's not gone tomorrow, it's only because it's so late in the season it makes little difference. If he's back next year, McDermott will never stop hearing about it, from fans and the press. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LABILLBACKER Posted December 9, 2018 Share Posted December 9, 2018 Crossman's ST unit is a complete embarrassment and probably the worst in the NFL. This clown should've been blown out last year. We've not lost 4 games this season directly attributed to special teams. Blow this guy out McDermott or we will.... 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This has gone on for years since Crossman has been the special team coach. The special teams has been disorganized and has made major mistakes week in and week out this season. I’m surprised there has been no questioning from the Buffalo media on this point. Crossman needs to go. Theo losses in a row attributed primarily to special teams mistakes.

Misterbluesky Posted December 9, 2018 Share Posted December 9, 2018 (edited) What the hell is he going to do?????Put a rope around their necks to keep them in their lanes.Blame the players..most second stringers are on the squad and are the ones who want to make a big tackle ,but leave their part of the field empty for that risk and 5 seconds of tv fame.Crossman should only get a portion of the blame...and McDermott is bullcrapping all of us when he says he only looks for discipline type players....ok,then.This team is not discipline and is not a intelligent bunch.Sorry for the vent...but it's the truth!

TigerJ Posted December 9, 2018 Share Posted December 9, 2018 Special Teams were bad today. Obviously they allowed a kickoff return that hurt the Bills. I wondered why Hauschka was kicking off the way he was. I know when it's cold the ball is stiffer and harder and doesn't travel as well, but we conditions that hard that he couldn't put it in the end zone?

Buffalo Bills Fan Posted December 9, 2018 Share Posted December 9, 2018 Keep him. He will help us rest of year for better draft pick. Than, release him in off season. He's horrible ST coach.

Yes. Coaches are responsible for players carrying out basic responsibilities. The special teams deficiencies have been chronic all season; penalties, turnovers, missed assignments have been rampant. Does Crossman deserve a pass? He has been horrible for a long time. He needs to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
