Fan in San Diego Posted October 23, 2006 Share Posted October 23, 2006 weak points of this team and mularkism's What was that snap to Reed all about ? Wasted play in the red zone. Also with a bad OL he calls deep drops ? What ? He should be calling more roolouts, short quick slants, lots of run plays with WM. Until we get a decent OC we will continue to struggle. Fire Fairchild now Marv ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that the only thing to change this year is that we have a new set of dumb bunnies in charge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluv Posted October 23, 2006 Share Posted October 23, 2006 My point is when will he establish any sense of consistensy on offense and develop an identity? It's like watching a rookie Madden player who just runs a play from every formation in the book and while they may get a few good plays here or there, they become predictable after while. If they stick to a base group and develop a chemistry and an identity they would be more consistent and better off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Poojer Posted October 23, 2006 Share Posted October 23, 2006 and the lackidasical attitude of the offence down by 15 in the last quarter...why no hurry up...and why go back to evans(?) right after he dropped a catchable TD in the endzone...f-him, he should not have been involved in the next play weak points of this team and mularkism's What was that snap to Reed all about ?

Ozymandius Posted October 23, 2006 Share Posted October 23, 2006 I really wouldn't mind if the entire coaching staff and front office got fired and we just started over from scratch as if it were the offseason again. Marv had no experience as GM and didn't focus enough on improving the lines in the offseason. We just assume that he'll take care of it next offseason, but maybe not. Maybe he's just incompetent. Why wait? Shouldn't you build football teams inside out? Then, he goes and hires a retread loser like Jauron, who in turns hires two coordinators without any experience. Fairchild comes from a deep passing game background, which completely clashes with the lack of talent we have on the o-line. Meanwhile, Fewell implements the stupid a$$ Tampa 2 which is going to take years to properly stock with top rate defensive talent before it becomes effective, and that's assuming no busts along the way, which is unlikely since Marv went and did something stupid like draft a first round DT, which has a high bust rate. Odds are McCargo is a bust or will take years to develop and they already know it, and now they'll go and waste another high pick on DT when what they should do with that position is try to trade for or sign other team's DTs that have already gone through the typical 3-year gestation period in the NFL before they become effective and prove they can play.

Orton's Arm Posted October 23, 2006 Share Posted October 23, 2006 I really, really, really would like to know what the snap to Reed was supposed to accomplish, even in theory. I think that the only thing to change this year is that we have a new set of dumb bunnies in charge. 813522[/snapback] The snap to Reed was a running play that got the Bills a yard or two. If it was McGahee running the ball in the red zone and getting that same yard or two, nobody would complain. If the worst thing that can be said about Fairchild is that one of his calls resulted in a two yard running play in the red zone, that's not too bad. It's not like he turned the ball over by having Travis Henry drop back for a pass. I don't see a huge need to blame Fairchild for a running play in the red zone, even if Josh Reed was the one running it. I tend to focus more on that short shovel pass that turned into a long gain. This isn't the first time we've seen plays that were like this. Without an offensive line, you have to look for ways to help the WR do things after the catch, and I see Fairchild doing exactly that.

I'll remember that play when we need to get a yard or two in the red zone. I'm sort of more interested in the kind that we get 18 or so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When we, the fans, realize that Ralph is 100% correct in his observation that we have no talent, we'll be all better off. When you wiff at the top of the draft (Williams, Bledsoe, Parrish, Reed, etc) it takes YEARS to reverse the damage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every time we lose a game in a rebuilding year we should just clean house cause obviously the GM and coaches have no idea what they are doing. Half way through a season and the jobs of the new coaches and GM is being called for. This has to be a new record.

Whayt boggles my mind as well is why we arent putting our WR's in a position to run after the catch. We have a bunch of speedsters, so were are the quick slants, the posts, short flips (like the one to willis yesterday)? If you've got the wR speed, get them the ball in space. The TD pass to roscoe against the jets was probably the only slant i have seen thrown all season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just re-pointing out that we didn't exactly hire one person that inspires confidence. I wouldn't mind if they rewound the tape and chose over.
