Get Rid of Series #6: Nathaniel Hackett

[Mr. Cynical]

So many reasons, so little space.

[SpikedLemonade]

Hiring him was just a big mistake.

I actually thought we moved the ball very well against the leagues all around best D. The series where Brown dropped the ball was a very well called series.

This is one game where Hackett and the O didnt look bad. The players let him down

[coastal]

We ran the ball pretty well today and Orton appeared to have time.

[YardRat]

Yeah, I think this was one of Hackett's better games too, although the pass/run ratio was a little out of whack, especially considering we were actually picking up some yards on the ground. That being said, he's more than a season-and-a-half in, and it's getting to that time where looking for progress becomes irrelevant and it's time to see some real results.

[fasteddie]

Three fade routes from the 15 yard line is simply a college coach call. A bad one at that. I'm about ready to pull my hair out!

[Mr. Cynical]

Bump

[X-Era]

If Pegula keeps Marrone I could easily see Marrone firing Hackett. I don't think he will play cronyism when it's clearly not working. I just don't see him being that way.

[Thurmal]

Holy ****, how many times does that dickhead need to see carries for no gain before he stops running the ball up the middle every play?

13 rushes for 13 yards is impressive. :offair:

[kingJofNYC]

How pathetic is that screen play we run to Woods?

We run it every week and get the same results, never execute that play and yet we keep running it week in week out. Pathetic.

[psubills62]

3rd and ten and we throw one yard past the LOS. Brilliant.At what point does he figure out that the offense is allowed to try to score points when we have a lead? You know, instead of just sitting on it and going three and out until we urgently need a score.

The biggest thing to me is what we do on first and second down. I don't know the stats but I bet we are way below the grade there. The other issue is any penalty seems to stop our drive.

A thing I look at is sacks on first down. Unless some just blows their guy away they shouldn't happen. I can think of half a dozen drives in the red zone this season when we've given those up. To me that's all scheme and preparation.

Yes, it is. Greedy coaching trying to make a splash and polish their knob.

[Scumbag College]

If I go my whole life without seeing the Bills running the play of the TE going parallel to the line of scrimmage straight towards the sideline for a one yard gain I would die slightly less aggravated.

[Mr. Miyagi]

Bring in Trestman.

[Night Train]

Chris Sims must have said he was " one of the bright young NFL minds " about 5 times yesterday.

:rolleyes:

Whats wrong with trying to take advantage of Chandler's speed?

[cookie G]

Hiring him was just a big mistake.

Nah...he brought back the K-gun!!!

With NO Saints principles sprinkled in!!

NFL.com's Ian Rapoport passed along word that Hackett leaned heavily on the Bills' playbook from the 1990s with the famed K-Gun offense. That's largely what Hackett ran at Syracuse in 2011, and the Bills are expected to take the same approach, with New Orleans Saints principles mixed in.

Here's what agent Brian Ayrault said on Twitter (Ayrault represents outgoing Syracuse quarterback Ryan Nassib).
"The Bills just made a GREAT OC Hire!" Ayrault wrote. "Congrats to Nathaniel Hackett. Very innovative coach...the K-Gun is back in Buffalo!"

lol...that article is hilarious...

the adjectives thrown out...

-up tempo
-innovative
-different

And people believed this when he got here.


Send him back to Madden for another few years, maybe he can steal from a few other offenses of the legends part of the game.

Do they have the Don Coryell Charger's offense?

[stuckincincy]

Kevin Gilbride is available... :dance3:

[Famous Amos]

So glad to get rid of Hackett.

My God, it was almost as bad as Ronnie Jones out there.
