Ramius Posted September 19, 2005 Share Posted September 19, 2005 TD doesn't really suck. Willis doesn't suck.

C'mon man, i know yesterday was one of the few bad games hes had as a coach, btu the guy's good... 446198[/snapback] Yeah he did so well in the Pittsburgh game last year against their 3rd stringers. Oh and his management of the team inside the 20 last week. Just to name three games where his coaching sucked. And like I said, JP gets a pass from me for most of the season because it is his first year starting. I won't rag on him now that the season started until at least week 12, to ensure he has a chance to show some improvement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And what exactly, did you find wrong with what he did last week inside the 20? Oh, I get it, MULARKEY BAD!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BenchBledsoe Posted September 19, 2005 Share Posted September 19, 2005 I posted that this team was going 6-10. To suggest that I'm happy about it is utter nonsense. I was probably one of the most disgusted fans yesterday. But, my point is that it was exceptionally predictable. ON THE ROAD especially, this team's offense is going to be horrendous. I will contend that all year long. Happy about it? Not at all, but realistic about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"I-form 34 dig right x slant y zig on 2 with a #66 false start" 446228[/snapback] So it's not the coaches job to instill discipline? So it's not the coaches job to put the players in a position to succeed. In addition, going for it on 4th, while successful, was a bad call. Yes we scored a TD, but we should have kicked the FG there, and gone up 15-7, which puts us up a TD. He it failed we are only up 12-7 at half with Texans having a big swing right before the half. Poor choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steven in MD Posted September 19, 2005 Share Posted September 19, 2005 Like the little chicken that runs around yelling "The Sky is Falling" Nobody believes him. Bit, when the sky falls, the chicken gets to stand there and stay...I told you so. I would say that TBD suffers from polar extremes. On one side you have the eternal optimist. Nothing can go wrong, and when the Bills lose, look for someone else to blame. On the other side are the naysayers. Nothing can go right for the Bills. TD sucks, MM was a bad hire, etc. When the Bills win, it is always even a blind squirrel finds a nut mentality. Hard to find many middle ground people who say....the Bills made some mistakes, but they still have a solid team that can compete week in and week out.

So it's not the coaches job to put the players in a position to succeed. It's hard to even dignify that statement given the differences between Williams/Gilbride's mentality and that of the current coaching staff. MULARKEY BAD!!

A coaches job is to adjust and put his players in position to make the play. Mularky has not done that on offense or defense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's hard to even dignify that statement given the differences between Williams/Gilbride's mentality and that of the current coaching staff. MULARKEY BAD!! 446263[/snapback] I don't see much diffence. Williams went 8-8 his first year. Mularky went 9-7. One game difference. I have not seen any improvement in several years on thi team, other then at the running back position. We have had a top tier defense for quite a few years. We got that down. Mularky was brought in to improve the offense, well we now have had two traing camps, a great Oline coach supposedly, and a great QB coach. Why does this offense look even worse then the Killdrive squads? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Campy Posted September 19, 2005 Share Posted September 19, 2005 A coaches job is to adjust and put his players in position to make the play. 446265[/snapback] In the position to make the play is the operative phrase. The coaches can't do it all. At some point, the players have to make the play. If they don't, it's their fault, not the coaches'. We can argue pregame preperation all day long because nobody on this board knows how well/hard the Bills prepared for this game, but it's more than a small stretch to try to find fault with the coaches' gameday effort yesterday.

If they don't, it's their fault, not the coaches'. 446292[/snapback] Agreed. The coaches can only do so much. You need to rely on players to be professionals and to their jobs correctly. You can blame the coaches if you see the exact same problems happening from game to game (fumbles by the same person, etc). This is something that the coaches need to pay special attention to in practice. Otherwise, the players need to step up and perform. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GG Posted September 19, 2005 Share Posted September 19, 2005 So bad passing is only JPs fault if the CBs hold on to the ball? Never mind that the defensive backs were jumping all over the receivers' routes all day because JP stares at his target before he throws...but it's still not his fault until a DB catches the ball instead of knocking it down. That's just weird, man... 446142[/snapback] I actually see it as JP's unique talent. He throws perfect INT balls that aren't caught. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One game difference. 446282[/snapback] We know we've had a disagreement bout your math ability, but this is getting ridiculous. 3-13 in first year doesn't equal 8-8.

BenchBledsoe Posted September 19, 2005 Share Posted September 19, 2005 Arguing whether it's the coaches job or the players job is fairly moot. . . the fact of the matter is we simply are not as talented a team as many believe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
