All_Pro_Bills Posted December 14, 2008 Share Posted December 14, 2008 Running backs are unstopable so what do you call? A play action pass.

You guys are all over the Bills for conservative play-calling, they make a gutsy call when the clock is going to stop for the 2:00 warning and you're all over them? JP should have a BRAIN and realize what his responsibility is on that play, THROW IT AWAY if anyone is near you, he's the IDIOT and if he starts next week the Bills should fire Jauron immediately.

If the play is not there, you either run or throw the ball away. It's pretty simple. JPL executed it terribly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The running game was unstoppable all day. 2nd and 5 2:06 the other team has 2 TO's you gotta run the ball. If you don't think so I gotta question your knowledge of the game. That play call is a fireable offense on its own, not to mention the play calling all year. Merry Christmas Jets Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This isn't settling for a 47 yard fg to try to win a game. This is trying to get a 1st down to ice the game. Yes they should've just ran it, we all know that. As a 5th year qb you should have enough common sense to protect the ball and eat the sack or throw it the hell away Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SDS Posted December 14, 2008 Share Posted December 14, 2008 It is absolutely the coach's fault. They have to know they have one of the mentally slowest QBs to ever play the game in there. JPL is as close to clinical retardation as you can get. To call any play that forced him to actually think rests on this coaching staff and their inability to evaluate their own players strengths, weaknesses, and mental capabilities. Blaming this on Losman is like yelling insults to the short bud kids - they can't help it and neither can JP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

billsfanmiami(oh) Posted December 14, 2008 Share Posted December 14, 2008 Sorry to be a dick but all of you who think it was an ok play call are f'n retards. How in the world do you make that call when Marshawn has been a beast all day. Yeah in a goal line situation or 3rd and short earlier in the game I could see it.

ExiledInIllinois Posted December 14, 2008 Share Posted December 14, 2008 IT IS NOT THE COACHING! Is it too much to ask your offense (and QB) not to make brain dead mistakes? Really, just manage the game. What was with the time out just before the 2 minute?... IMO, your team is winning, take the 5 yard delay of game penalty. What is the diff between 2 and 5 and 2 and 10 in that spot? Even with the TO and getting his "head straight"... The effing dildo coughs the ball up... Losman has NO pocket awareness... This game was totally JPL's fault... HE just can't manage flat out. The sad part is, they gave him every chance in the world to show his stuff off to a perspective team seeking his services, he failed miserably ONCE again... I feel for you JPL...

The play call was understandable—not what I would have called, but I have seen many good teams run roll out passes in such situations to put the defense back on their heels, and get a big first down before the 2 minute warning. The only way it is a bad call is if you take the position that JP is such a horrible QB that he should not have the game in his hands, but then we are back to JP's deficiencies.....

While I don't think JP is "one of the mentally slowest QBs to ever play the game", the guy hasn't shown a high degree of mental acuity, and seems to fumble whenever he is hit, recently. IMO, ou don't make that call with ANY QB, and certainly not with JP...not when your running game is controlling the game, and you are simply trying to run out the clock, and hold on to the win.

Agree, if we run the ball but don't convert, we're conservative or afraid to go to jugular. Once we do it but don't execute a damn simple play they're crazy. I'm in no way defending this coaching staff, because they deserve to go away, with the exception of April of course, but sometimes players have to be held accountable.
