Coach of the Week: Dick Jauron

[Ed]

Coach of the Week

Buffalo head coach Dick Jauron. You are Dick Jauron. You've had to deal with the spinal injury in the opener to Kevin Everett and you've lost some ridiculous games early, like the Denver game on a field goal at the gun, and the Dallas game in as time expired when you had it won about six times. You go on your bye 1-4, hoping you have enough players to finish the season respectfully after losing key defensive leaders Paul Posluszny (broken arm), cornerback Jason Webster (broken arm) and safety Ko Simpson (broken ankle). And you pull your team together, somehow, to beat Baltimore 19-14, and then the Jets 13-3, and, on Sunday, the Bengals 33-21. And you might have two quarterbacks, and you might have none. And, finally, you just might be over .500 in mid-November in six days, with a trip to Miami coming this weekend

oh god what a joke.

Jauron doesn't call the plays.

Quietly Richard 'The Corpse' Jauron is building his own legacy similar to Bill 'The Hoodie' Belichik.

that ridiculous 3 te, lynch in motion running play on 1st and goal at the end of the 2nd drive. We lost like 4 yards- it was the most gutless, conservative goal line play in the history of the NFL.

Our only red zone TD in 4 trips came off a trick play.

The playcalling was predictable again- Reed turned inside on EVERY running play. That's poor coaching.

No calls are guaranteed to work, but Fairchild's calls are so gutless and predictable that they're almost guaranteed not to work. And Jauron stands there and lets it happen.

I have to totally agree with that one! I was saying the same thing ti the wifey at the house! They have to come up with a wrinkle or 2!

P.S. That is not poor coaching, technically, it's poor play calling

Re: Coach of the Week: Dick Jauron

I did not like that call either (QB sneak).

But, for God's sake, can you look at the game as whole or not? 479 yards is worth some praise, is it not?

And it is funny that you complain abotu the predictability and fail to praise how off guard the Bengals were on the Lynch pass.


The biggest RedZone problem is lack of WR with those abilities. Price was the best at it and he is now out.

I think it's a little of both- they could teach Reed not to turn in until AFTER the ball is snapped.

so they got it right once out of how many offensive plays? I did like that Lynch pass call but after the first drive, they were their same old conservative selves other than that call.

I'll give this coaching staff credit for having the team well prepared for every game- it's allowed this team to get by despite a slew of injuries and a lack of overall talent. But their game day decision making still sucks.

Oh, yeah, I forgot to mention- another time out early in the 3rd. Thanks to Lynch, we had enough of a lead that it didn't matter in the end. But I hate it how this team always burns TO's early then doesn't have them in crunch time.

I've never in my life as a Bills fan seen so much embellishment of the team's supposed achievements over what are obviously two horrible teams in three of four wins. Even the Bledsoe era wasn't this bad.

It's more entertaining than the games themselves.

Three weeks ago we ranked near the bottom in just about every significant category. Now after inflating our rankings at the hands of a pair of games vs. the Bengals and Jets, all of a sudden our coach is "doing a good job?"

I'm tellin' ya, definitely stay tuned here to this one folks! This MB is gonna be an absolute hootin' holler in about five weeks! LOL

Re: Coach of the Week: Dick Jauron

haha! 3 bad teams. In hindsight we had the toughest schedule prior to the season. Things change. Oh well.

[madness]

Re: Coach of the Week: Dick Jauron

Get used to it.

Word around the NFL is that a lot of people are impressed with what Jauron's doing this year and now it's starting to spread throughout the media.
