Here is my post-game report, and I have to tell you.. I am VERY bothered by Fewell's quote about the end of the first half.

Dont get me wrong, I like the man, and I LOVE the way he had this team playing today. Completely admirably and I like his emotion. However, he sounded as bad as any Jauron quote I've ever heard in covering this team regarding the end of the first half. I even had to highlight it.. WTF, Perry?

BTW, after reveiwing AGAIN, we had the ball at the 8 yd line after TO's catch and a timeout left and 21 seconds left.. And Fewell ADMITS that he played for the field goal

Nope. That explains the horrid clock management at the end. Apparently he paid too much attention to the way that Jauron coaches. :ill:

I hate the way he worded that! It sounds like he played for a field goal and didnt care about a TD there! :puke:

I said he clearly ordered AVP to play for the FG at the end of the half in the gameday thread when it happened.

No OC calls that dive with 20 seconds and a TO left unless they're playing for the FG or suffered a blow to their head.

Pathetic. Playing to lose continues with this coaches mindset. Get some balls. Attempt to get 7. TD's win games

Good point. It seems like he was coaching not to lose, the only way he was taught. Damn Jauron! :mad:

I really latched onto the fact you like him. Everybody liked Dick Jauron too, it seems.

So basically, Ralph Wilson Jr. has exchanged "Nice guy Dick" for "Nice guy Perry". Both are likable people, but both are equally clueless when it comes to winning a football game, it seems.

If Fewell did that, on purpose, at the end of the 1st half, it's even MORE inexcusable than it was if it were merely horrid time management.

“We had talked about taking the shot (to the end zone), but we wanted to make sure we got the points so we elected to go for the run in that situation,” Fewell said. “I alerted the official we were going to call time out. Looking back I wanted to get the points. I thought I made a solid decision with just taking the points.”

One down, six to go on the Fewell era

Doesn't Fewell understand that he had enough time, with 21 seconds on the clock, to have the Bills spike the ball, throw a couple times to the endzone to try for the touchdown, and still have time to kick the field goal?

It may well be they had no faith in Fitzpatrick not turning the ball over.

This shouldn't be a shock...he is a Jauron hire. He's not a good DC, why would we expect him to be a good HC??? He can be as fiery as he wants, but it doesn't make me think he is any more qualified for this HC position then Jauron.

Never dawned on anybody to throw a fade to TO against the rookie

I would say that is not " Playing like hell" as Fewell said in his presser when he became interim. That is playing scared, playing like hell is hold nothing back imo.

that was one of the dumbest things i've seen this season. they could have spiked the ball with 15-17 seconds left and tried for a td at least twice. i thought it was so ****ing stupid doing what they did. what if the ref didn't blow the whistle in time? then what? you're stuck with nothing. very very very horrible call.

running the ball made me want to kick the TV. what's wrong with a down and out?

Who cares? Fewell is gone at the end of the season. The Bills can lose the rest of their games for all I care, so as to get in position to get a blue-chip player.

It was his first game, so he gets a pass from me.

There's nothing wrong with making mistakes, as long as you learn from them.

He does it again and I'll *****.

What is? Wanting to see the team lose? Look, I realized weeks ago that this season was over. And it was liberating. Winning, losing spots in the draft, and still missing the playoffs, really does nothing for the Bills.

Who gives a ****? He's not going to be HC for much longer.

What did you guys expect?

This guy is Dick Cherry Wheat Ale.

Why would it bother you? It does not bother me. He is the lame duck interm coach. He will be gone after the season. In fact, anything he does like this to asure he is gone is good news IMO.

It would have bothered me if we got 0 points out of it, but we got 3.

that decision might have saved us drafts spots....

We might be looking back on that call as the reason we drafted (insert name at later date)

but really grow some balls coach like your playing madden

It's disturbing that that was his thought when the bills were in almost the exact same situation against the texans in the first half and chose to take the fG instead of a TD attempt.

These coaches have to get it through their thick skulls that the bills offense is awful and if they have a chance from 10 yards out, you have to throw it in the endzone each time because you have no idea when you are going to get back there or even remotely close.

If they were a prolific offense....no, an average offense, taking the FG would be weak but justified because you know you can score more points later. Anytime this team scores, you have no idea if it will happen again. Therefore, you have to maximize your points when you get in the redzone.

I'm with Pat, this is annoying.

He should have learned from watching Dick do it for 3 1/2 years.

Fitz threw that 2-yard TD to Evans against the Panthers. He hasn't thrown any red-zone picks yet. Faith in the QB is no excuse.

You have to expect some part of Dick to rub off on him.

Now let's see if he could do what Dick couldn't do. Learn from his mistakes.

Not sure why this would bother anybody.

Now if this were a game next season, with a new coach/regime, and the same words were said...there would be a problem.
