duey Posted October 14, 2009 Share Posted October 14, 2009 This is the first positive decision out of One Bills Drive all season. Seriously...you have a guy at QB who's having a hard time figuring out what to do so do even give him a chance to huddle up?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rubes Posted October 14, 2009 Share Posted October 14, 2009 I'm sure they were ready to scrap it last week, but decided against it because every time they huddled, the hometown fans would start cheering and they wouldn't be able to hear anything. At least this way, they'll be in NJ and the only sound will be laughing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
finknottle Posted October 14, 2009 Share Posted October 14, 2009 I'll take the contrarian view: The no-huddle was not the problem. Inept overall strategy from the coaches and individual failures to perform are the problem. Dumping the no-huddle isn't going to make Jauron play to win. Dumping the no-hundle isn't going to make Edwards stop checking down to the fifth option for a two yard gain, Dumping the no-huddle isn't going to reduce the penalties on the offensive line. I'll tell you what it *will* do. Dumping the no-huddle will mean that our inexperienced offensive line will have to recognize and deal with situational packages and substitutions. Dumping the no-huddle will grant Jauron a pass on the offense for the rest of the season. Dumping the no-huddle will be seen as another offensive 'change' for Edwards. Supporters in the organization will argue that it will nullify things for the purposes of evaluating him, he'll get an incomplete on the season and we won't know what to do about the QB position.

BillsWest Posted October 14, 2009 Share Posted October 14, 2009 Dumping the no huddle will allow T.O. and Lee Evans to keep telling Trent in the huddle that they can beat their guy deep, just throw it!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Welcome To Pegulavilla Posted October 14, 2009 Share Posted October 14, 2009 Amen. Why is it so hard to figure out that running the freakin' football is the one good thing we do on offense. Passing out of the shotgun is probably the worst thing but what we do the most. I thought when Fairchild left we weren't going to see the shotgun on 3rd and 2 anymore. I saw it Sunday. FEED FRED I agree. We've got 2 good backs who can do some serious damage to opposing defenses. We should at the very least try to impose our will on opposing D's and pound the rock 35+ times a game just like the Dolphins do. Even if its not successful at least it gives us a chance to win, what's wrong with that? If the fish can run a college style/sandlot football type of offense and be successful why can't we?

LABills08 Posted October 14, 2009 Share Posted October 14, 2009 Bills are just getting ready for their usual run towards the 7-9 season. That way they can "end the season on a high note", Dick will keep his job, Edwards will remain QB, we can draft a WR/DB/TE with our first round pick next year and then we can do the same dance in 2010. !

Lori Posted October 14, 2009 Share Posted October 14, 2009 Nine false starts against the Browns. Nine. NINE. I've got to believe that just getting everyone together and asking "Does everyone know the snap count?" is going to be a measurable improvement. ^^^^^^ This.

cåblelady Posted October 14, 2009 Share Posted October 14, 2009 Dumping the no huddle will allow T.O. and Lee Evans to keep telling Trent in the huddle that they can beat their guy deep, just throw it!!!! He still won't......sigh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GG Posted October 14, 2009 Share Posted October 14, 2009 I would categorize this decision in the same file as the brain storm that decided that going to a no huddle would be a good idea because Edwards performed very well in some games when he ran the hurry up offense.

kasper13 Posted October 14, 2009 Share Posted October 14, 2009 They were running the no-huddle? I thought they were running the Prevent Offense. They certainly had it perfected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillsVet Posted October 14, 2009 Share Posted October 14, 2009 I just saw this too....wow. What a mess this team is. And people wonder why DJ's teams don't fare all that well on offense. In DJ's defense, the roster he has is extremely thin, and the weakness on OL hurts him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

May Day 10 Posted October 14, 2009 Share Posted October 14, 2009 its funny how a vast majority of Bills fans scream for decisions to be made FAR before the Bills are FORCED into making those decisions already too late. We have an amateur front office and an amateur coaching staff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HelloNewman Posted October 15, 2009 Share Posted October 15, 2009 Especially if you false start every other play. One has to wonder about all the false starts.....does the offense get so tired out with the no huddle that they are causing false starts to get a breather which falls under bad conditioning?

ColdBlueNorth Posted October 15, 2009 Share Posted October 15, 2009 Actually a good move. Really...what could it hurt? We certainly were not tricking anybody, we go three and out faster thus keeping our defense on the field longer, the scrubs who are playing the part of O-linemen are confused and penalized half the time. I say give them slow-blinkers a chance to ask what gap they are trying to block for in the huddle, and on what count and maybe they actually pull it off. At this point any semblance of order by the offense including successfully huddling and breaking the huddle would be a step up from what we have had to endure.
