Jauron made the call

[kinigirly]

for those of you *****ing about who sucks the most or who to blame the most(fairchild, jp, or dick) jauron said during post game press conference that he made the call for jp to throw deep on the 3rd and 5 play. use that for your arguments however you see fit

It's a coaches job to put players in a position to succeed.

The call was made, the receiver was open, the ball was over-thrown.

'Nuff said.

When a low-percentage play is called, chances are it will fail.

Actually, I think it was just over the wrong shoulder. I'm not blaming Lynch either, but he got pulled out of bounds on second down and needed the keep the clock running on that play too. I was hoping they would roll JP out and let him try to make a play either running or passing.

I don't blame JP for this play at all. I totally agree with your post. That play should have benn called early in the game.

Like running on third and nine, or third and eleven, on a short field?

[kinigirly]

jauron i'm still undecided on. jp i will wait and see how he plays next week. playcalling only let him throw short passes today so we'll see how accurate he is with longer balls next week. if its not hot, we have a problem. fairchild....i've always hated that tard and always will

Yes.

I don't know why people are down on JP for this either...he's not calling the plays. It was a lousy time to call a play that could stop the clock.

[YardRat]

Yes.

Players make plays...or they are expected to, anyway.

Lynch was given the rock in three crucial situations today, two of them on low percentage calls.

He made all three successful.

JP was called on once to do what he supposedly does best, and he failed.

That is the difference between winners and losers.

I liked the call. :couch:

They had Bailey beat. He just threw it over the wrong shoulder.

I concurr.

If Lee Evans looked over his other shoulder we would have been up by 9.

[unpaid_bills]

The only issue i have with the call why the hell they did not try earlier. Lee has the speed to get deep ony anyone. A crucial 3rd down you have to go to a bread and butter play. The Bills were horrible on 3rd down. I give Jauron and crew credit for trying but it was risky.

Too me more disapointing was the D could not stop Denver on those two 4th downs then the last drive . thats what lost the game IMO.

[Earthquake Enyart]

To me, it took a lot of balls to make that call.

If they connect, game over.

[Turf]

This team consistently year after year, like no other team, gives up big, huge, 3rd down and long plays in crucial situations. I have never in the history of the NFL seen a team so poor in 3rd down and long situations.
They were set up to win. After Cutler threw the ball backwards the game should have been over.
They let them back in. On the 4th and short I was saying they should blitz on the edges to catch the rollout. Hell, all out blitz, let em score, all or nothing, at least you get the ball back. Sure enough the QB rolls out, easy first down.
Someone should have made sure Lynch, who is the real deal and played a hell of a game, knew enough to fall down in bounds and not stop the clock. The clock stopped with 2:43. Had it run down to 2:03 they could have passed or ran it wouldn't have mattered. Denver instead gained 40 secs on the clock. Critical mistake in a dire situation.
Poor coaching all the way around at the end of the game.

Dumping on a QB for barely missing a bomb is the difference between valid and invalid criticism. The percentage is not high enough to expect that play to be made.

Had the play worked we'd be talking about what a genius call it was. Funny how this all works isn't it?

Sure it takes balls but that was not the time to do it. JP was not having a good game. They were 3 of 5 on third downs up to that point in the 2nd half. All they needed was a first down and for all intense and purposes the game would of been over. Why go for 40 yards when you needed 5? Stopping the clock due to a low percentage play call is ballsy and stupid.

[guy]

this wasnt about jp having a bad game. he threw the ball only 21 times most underneath, which seemed like a good game plan.this was about alot off mistakes by alot of different players example... robert royals holding call on the last punt which added about 23 yards to denvers drive start etc....etc....etc.....
