MrLocke Posted December 24, 2006 Share Posted December 24, 2006 I didn't see the game. Was the wind too strong? It was only 45 yards by nfl game centre? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SACTOBILLSFAN Posted December 24, 2006 Share Posted December 24, 2006 Jauron is an idiot. On third and 5 we call some very stupid pass play. It was a completely clueless move. If he knew we were going on 4th the pass on 3rd makes no sense whatsoever, absolutely ridiculous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ofiba Posted December 24, 2006 Share Posted December 24, 2006 The wind was CRAZY strong. I agree with the decision to go for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
haltrosky Posted December 24, 2006 Share Posted December 24, 2006 That fourth down play is a complete snapshot of life as a Bills fan. My God. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikie2times Posted December 24, 2006 Share Posted December 24, 2006 Bironas has one of the strongest legs in the league. His 42 yard kick into the wind barely cleared the uprights. The odds of Lindel making that kick were significantly less then us converting the first down. It was the right call to not kick the FG. Sorry mods, merge my thread.

Pete Posted December 24, 2006 Share Posted December 24, 2006 I agree. You had to go for the first down. Plenty of time left too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koufax Posted December 24, 2006 Share Posted December 24, 2006 Tough loss, we still weren't going to make the playoffs (Baltimore playing at home with a bye on the line) and I'm still excited about 2007. But that was DJ's most costly playcalling all year. He gave that game away, and I hope he steps up and admits it. Not running on the 3rd and 1 earlier set up the VY touchdown, but the final drive made me want to cry. 2nd and 6 after a big willis run. That is run, run, and first down or FG attempt. Instead it was a numbing pass, pass, pass. Absolutely rediculous. Everybody has bad games, but Dick has to admit this one and be blasted for it. That way we can forgive and forget, thank him for a great overall job on the year, and move on to 2007. Let's now root for the 7-9 teams to win to improve draft position (I still want to beat the Ravens, but I want the other teams to have favorable results separately from our game).

Plenty of time left too 876841[/snapback] If thats what Dick believed then the call on third down is the worst coaching call that i have seen in quite some time. Made absolutely no sense.

Jonathan Paul Losman Posted December 24, 2006 Share Posted December 24, 2006 You kick the FG no matter what. I've never seen such stupidity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRQ_BillsFan Posted December 24, 2006 Share Posted December 24, 2006 This was the absolute dumbest set of 4 downs that I have ever seen. Even if they kicked the field goal they left way too much time on the clock. 4 pass plays? If you can pass, you can kick. Stupid, Stupid, Stupid. If Jauron doesn't call the plays he's an idot for letting that one in, certainly he has a say in that call. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrLocke Posted December 24, 2006 Author Share Posted December 24, 2006 Jauron doesnt call the plays on offense 876865[/snapback] There are certain times you have to overrule your coordinators. He could have said call a run, but not a specific running play. This game was huge today, but lets not forget the lose to Detroit who may end up winning the Brady Quinn sweepstakes.

Sorry mods, merge my thread. 876832[/snapback] bull sh--, you have to try a FG for a win. We will never know if Lindell could have made that or not. To me it was totally the wrong call.

Fan in San Diego Posted December 24, 2006 Share Posted December 24, 2006 Don't know if it's Dick Jauron or Steve Fairchild but there was two huge playcalls that lost us the game. 1) At the end of the 1st half when they threw an incomplete pass to stop the clock leaving a minute on the clock before kicking the FG. They should have run it and drained another 43 seconds off the clock. result is Vince Young gets a TD. 2) That putrid playcall at the end of the game. You kick the FG whether it's tough or not. The playoffs were on the line. That throw cplaycall was the stupidest of the year. This is not the first boned headed playcalling game by Steve Fairchild. Fire Steve Fairchild and keep the playbook. We need someone who is smarter that a brick to make the playcalls. He is a Mularky clone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To me it was totally the wrong call. We lost 876888[/snapback] What the hell are you talking about? Bironas nailed a 60 yard FG outdoors against the Colts. He barley got the ball over the uprights from 42. The kick was from 45. If he decided to kick you would B word about how stupid that was when the ball landed in the middle of the end zone. It's laughable to think anybody on this board was in a better position to weigh Lindell’s odds then Dick Jauron. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nero47 Posted December 24, 2006 Share Posted December 24, 2006 The offense should not have been in a position to have to win this game. The D did not tackle all day. Watched the game. D was too impressed with VY. Attack the b----d and make him feel the hits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We can't run the ball 4 times to get 3 measly yards. Pathetic!!! Triplett needs to be released. Passing over Ngata has proven fatal. Donte is very bad in run defense. He whiffs to much on tackles; especially those for a short gain or loss. I've seen the games we won and was horrible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
