Action speaks louder than words. The coaching staff may say they feel this team is good enough to go to the playoffs, however, the play calling and the execution in the last two minutes of the game proved otherwise.
Good teams that believe in themselves do not go into a shell and go conservative the second they get into FG range. By running the ball three straight times showed a lack of confidence in this offense by the coaching staff. The coaching staff basically said I do not trust Trent Edwards and this offense by calling running plays and would rather attempt a long field goal into the wind than try moving the ball closer to a attempt a much higher percentage kick.
The sad part is the OL failed miserably creating a hole in any of the running attempts.
To top it off Lindell has not really had to make clutch kicks in his tenure with the Bills since for the most part they have not been in contention to be in he playoffs. Well Lindell proved he is not a clutch kicker.
I truly feel this team lacks the leadership and confidence to win. The actions of the coaching staff and play in the last two minutes backed it up. How do you think the players feel that they have a coaching staff that shows it has no confidence in them?
