Let Bobby April be a genius on another team.

[HHURRICANE]

I have taken more crap for calling out Bobby April while he continues to cost us games and effect the chemistry of this team.

The Special Teams were horrible and cost us the game.

[Mad Bomber]

Do you have someone better in mind as a replacement?

So true, Bobby April is so friggen overrated amongst Bills fans

You're right.

The people who think he can be a head coach any time soon are high. I don't hate Bobby April. Far from it. But the amount of love he gets on the boards is insane. He has the best punter of all time, and some talented return men. They deserve more credit than the coaching, IMO.

Our special teams weren't that good last season, and they were terrible last night. Our kickoff coverage was terrible (the players looked lethargic on the opening freaking kickoff. Way to motivate your troops), and McKelvin made an incredibly poor decision. I'm not saying I want to replace April, but I'll be pissed if we make him the head coach.

[justasportsfan]

another stupid thread.

[Dr. Lecter]

How many years in a row have the Bills had the best ST in the NFL?

[MassEffect218435]

April would be on the market for all of five minutes. There are about twenty teams in the NFL that would fire their current ST's coach RIGHT NOW for April.

[HHURRICANE]

All the stats in the world don't make up for the mistakes April teams have made at critical points in games.

[Dr. Lecter]

All the stats in the world don't make up for the mistakes April teams have made at critical points in games.

And the games they have won for us?

And what other games did they lose?

Does this mean the pats should've fired BB for screwing up the sb loss to the giants?

OK genius , who do you replace April with ? We want names.

[Pinkerton Security]

Ya because Bobby April fumbled that kickoff...

[HHURRICANE]

And the games they have won for us?

And what other games did they lose?

Dallas, onside kick.

[DraftBoy]

This is a dumb idea. You have no justification for firing April, if anything its on McKelvin and his lead blocker for not telling his dumbass to take a knee.

[Dr. Lecter]

Dallas, onside kick.

And they won the Seattle game last year and were the only reason they were close against Cleveland last year.

HH has me on ignore , ask him to come up with names for Aprils replacement since he's so smart.

[HHURRICANE]

Because your coach should be making sure your thinking about potecting the ball instead of a TD. The fact that Mckelvin stiil didn't completely get it after the game tells me everything I need to know.

[Historian]

STs don't win or lose games, but they sure set the tone.

Why is it we don't have Parrish back there? Wasn't that what he was drafted for? Why not both of them, so one can tell the other to protect the football?

There is nothing special with our special teams. They're as putrid as the rest of the team.

[Prov401]

Dumb thread.

HH, Justa wants you to name a replacement.

[justasportsfan]

whats Danny Smith doing these days? :hang:

[Typ0]

I have to disagree with this. A professional football player who handles the ball has to understand not to fumble it already. You don't need to patronize them and you certainly don't need to plant the fumble seed (making them think about it) right before a play. People need to mentally prepare for what they are about to do and that involves a process. You don't need to jump into the middle of their process to remind them not to do the worst thing they can do. It's like saying every time you are going to boil water for tea someone needs to stand there and tell you not to burn the house down.

April had everything in place, its ultimately up to the players to make the plays. We all knew Odis should have covered the ball up, and I'm sure Bobby April did as well. Odis is just stupid and cost us the game by not protecting the ball.

I agree that April may be over rated but with his track record (#1 or at least top 5 every year NFL wide) how can you say he should be fired?

The argument against being HC I can agree with, but to say he should be canned is just wrong.

[HHURRICANE]

We were not in danger of losing the Seattle game and we lost the Cleveland game. Actually didn't we lose the game on a missed field goal?

[HHURRICANE]

HH, Justa wants you to name a replacement.

It's not that simple. Who's the head coach?

[DraftBoy]

I love how we blame failed execution on the coaches since they are actually out there making plays. That alone shows you how bad this line of logic is.

[Pinkerton Security]

It's not that simple. Who's the head coach?

His name is Dick Jauron.

[DraftBoy]

It's not that simple. Who's the head coach?

Who gives a ****, he fired Turk, that makes no sense.

Can you name any other ST coord? Without looking them up.

[justasportsfan]

lol. Nice plan. Just fire the guy without any plan B.

[JD]

Was it just me or did our guys take an awful long time getting down to the kick returner? That was weird.

[justasportsfan]

By HH's logic Duh Bears should fire Chicago's DC after the cb batted the ball which ended up in Stokely's hand that turned into a TD.

Do you think telling McKelvin to make sure he protects the ball would have helped?

Coaches do this all the time.

It's like telling someone in tennis to get the ball over the net. Of course you know it but sometimes your partner needs to remind you of this on critical points.

You were in the pre-kick huddle and know April didnt tell him this? Why the **** didn't you speak up then? You should clearly be fired! Since you were there, heard what was and wasn't said and failed in not reminding Leodis. I now blame you for costing this team the game last night!

You obviously never played competitive tennis because your coach/partner never reminds you to hit the ball over the net. That's a dumb analogy.

[Dr. Lecter]

We were not in danger of losing the Seattle game and we lost the Cleveland game. Actually didn't we lose the game on a missed field goal?

Actually the punt return and fake FG changed the entire flow of the Seattle game.

And the Browns game was a blowout in the making until Leodis ran the KO back.

[justasportsfan]

you're forgeting he has friends

Invisible or real? Im not quite clear on that yet.

Didnt we hire FL to punt his ass??

[justasportsfan]

OK , this thread is done with. HH is just *****ing about something he doesn't have an answer to.

[Typ0]

great response. They hired the guy to make plays you let him make plays. Too bad he blew it!

[HHURRICANE]

A special teams play cost us the game. Just like in Dallas. Bobby April is part of the problem, not the solution.

I assume a competant head coach will come in and clean house, so I have no opinion on who the next coordinator should be.

[Mad Bomber]

I already did (see post #2 in this thread). No answer so far.

[HHURRICANE]

We needed to protect the ball. I'm not too sure that Leodis still gets it.

[TheBrownBear]

McKelvin is borderline ******ed - same as the original post. Talk about a knee-jerk reaction.

So Dick should find someone who's had a better ST unit than Aprils no.1 unit the last few years. I wonder where we'll find such a ST coach?

[Michael82]

I think our Special Teams is starting to go backwards because we keep losing good talent out there. I don't know why they cut Justin Jenkins, but he was definitely missed last night in the kick coverage.

it needs to go more steps backwards. I know ST is important but save the cliche's they are not more important that offense and defense that are on the field 90% of the game. You aren't going to have crap on one of those units and ST ten times better than every team in the league and go anywhere. Sure, you get some excitement and that will sell some tickets...

John Wendling is the first player I would get rid of then. He's useless!
