zonabb Posted September 10, 2006 Share Posted September 10, 2006 Anyone in a position of leadership knows that when you have made good progress and exceeded expectations, you need to protect your team, be it in the corporate world or the sports world. So in my field, when we're exceeding expectations on a project (ie, under budget), you don't through you team under the bus by making stupid managerial decisions. You take the low lying fruit and move on. So going for a 4th down deep in Patriots territory up 10 was ridiculous. The Pats drove the length of the field and ended the game right there. Time was the only thing left to watch pass. Jauron costs his team a huge chance to start this season off with a win and gain major confidence. When you're the underdog with a young team, you can't to make stupid decisions. BTW, am I the only on seeing penalties on the Pats lines? Early on Tripplett was tackled on a play with no call? 0-1 and on to Miami. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MadBuffaloDisease Posted September 10, 2006 Share Posted September 10, 2006 I liked the decision to go for it, not the play-call OR the player. Thomas should have been in there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KRT88 Posted September 10, 2006 Share Posted September 10, 2006 I agree that is why you do not hire a LOSER as your head coach because they LOSE! You never give up points on the road! I told my wife that 4th down decision would cost us and it did! Great job Juron! and am I to believe that NE committed NO penalties? come on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heitz Posted September 10, 2006 Share Posted September 10, 2006 You guys have to be kidding me... Dick Jauron was trying to teach a young team, that no one thinks can win, how to stick the dagger into the heart of an opponent (one we were supposed to have NO CHANCE of beating) on the ground. If it would have worked, it would have been brilliant. It did turn the tide; we had our chances to make it up, but Special Teams cost us a game (did I just say that?).

blzrul Posted September 10, 2006 Share Posted September 10, 2006 I would have gone for it too. You never take points off the board, but there were no points on the board to take off. They may not have scored anyway. There WERE a number of hometown calls that went against the Bills but they played well beyond my expectations. I would have liked a win but...it's only one loss. The REAL penalties were very few and there are many bright spots, including JP who has proven that he can handle the pressure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CFLstyle Posted September 10, 2006 Share Posted September 10, 2006 Sure it's easy to second guess, but at the time it was a good idea, one simple yard ends the game, and the way the Bills were moving down field it was pretty hard to send the kickers on to the field.

VABills Posted September 10, 2006 Share Posted September 10, 2006 Refs as usual. Illegal block on Royal?!?!?!?! 767436[/snapback] It was an illegal block, right where the play was happening and right in front of 2 refs. That isn't why we lost the game. we couldn't stop the run, period. Our LBers on the edge couldn't get off blocks, fill the holes, and the safties were all terrible in supporting the run today. Period. On top of that the DL wasn't containing the blockers to keep them off the LBers. It was a team effort to lose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluv Posted September 10, 2006 Share Posted September 10, 2006 McGahee ran like a B!tch in the 2nd half. I'm not a Willis basher but he tiptoed to much in the 2nd half and left us with too many 2 and 12! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Senator Posted September 10, 2006 Share Posted September 10, 2006 I liked the call. Benefit of 20/20 handsight says we shoulda taken the FG but if it's me, I make that same call. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You go for it and put the Patriots away. The Bills had all the momentum and 1 yard from your rb is not to much to ask of him or your o-line.

nodnarb Posted September 10, 2006 Share Posted September 10, 2006 Bullschitt. This game was better coached than we've seen in 5 years. The difference in this game was the tickytack penalty calls in key situations. Two key penalties changed this game, and at least one of them was VERY suspicious. They were late flags, and game-changing plays. That first down by peerless...block in the back? WTF - Royal's push was away from the catch and the guy was sideways! It was a bullschitt call and it changed the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sweetbaboo Posted September 10, 2006 Share Posted September 10, 2006 McGahee cost us the win...instead of hesitating on that 4th and goal, if he had hit the hole the way A-Train does, we would've had a first down or a score Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
