Have ANY of Jauron's Gambles Worked This Season?

[Meathead]

lets start counting all the jauron gambles this season and see how they have worked out

just off the top of my head to start out with:


at patriots: fourth and long one at the seven with a ten point lead. result: disasterous failure

jets: at about the thirty-five, fake fg. result: failed play

jets: third and three at the three, losman naked bootleg. result: lost two yards

at bears: fourth and two at the forty. result: false start

at bears: fake punt. result: fumbled by moorman, failed play

Absolutely none of his gambles or trick plays have worked. They hurt us in the Patriots and Jets game that lead to us losing the games.

you forgot the Losman bootleg on the goal-line against the Jets that went for a huge loss.

Going for a 4th down had absolutely nothing to do with the fact that there was s false start. Are you saying that if it had been 3rd down, there would not have been a penalty?

According to the press conferences that I read, it wasn't a fake punt, actually. Does noone see how bad the snap was? He went right to try to catch the crappy snap, not to run with it. The running started only after he had dropped it and it was too late to punt.

horsecrap.. go back and watch the replays.. All kinds fo players pulled to the right and formed a wall.. If Moorman handled the punt easily he could have walked to a first down.. it was a designed fake.

How about the onside pooch kick vs. Minnesota? If not for the incorrect call by the refs that would've worked perfectly.

I think the fake punt at Chicago was a good call. Jauron knew the Bills only had a puncher's chance to win this game and that his young squad had to throw the kitchen sink early or else.

I have no problem with any of these calls.

I might have made a couple of different calls on some of these occasions, but in principle, i agree. I like the aggressiveness since none of our players know how to win yet.

You are right - I was wrong with this one. Which is why I edited my original repsonse.

What I'm saying is that it is an attmpted gamble that never actually took place.

Re: Have ANY of Jauron's Gambles Worked This Season?

Come to think of it, I really can't say that all our gambles were worth it by any stretch. I do think that the Bills players need to learn from mistakes and obviously the coaches as well.

I agree. I like all of these calls.
