Haters of Greg Williams

[juice]

I think many of these threads screaming "Lets fire GW" or "When we loose to the Bungles lets fire the whole offensive line" are a little played out. Why would you after 5 weeks into a season consider any whole sale changes? High expectations result in hard ass reality checks. Did everyone think that after Wilson spent the "Bigg Bucks" Da Bills would be immediate contenders? "Reality Check" All of a sudden the "O" line, who for the past 4 seasons has been one of the worst at pass protection, by some miracle would be air tight and pick up complexed blocking scemes. I dont remember GW being the only Bills Rep in the war room at the draft when Josh Reed was selected as a sure handed reciever with Bigtime after the catch playmaking ability or Mike Williams as a "Dominating" physical style lineman. Willis a first round choice when your defense was one of the worst in the league the year before? Well how wise those choices were remains to be seen. The thing that wouldn't be wise would be to panic and revamp your whole line or benching your investment draft picks like Reed and Henry in week five. Not trying to find someone to hate on but some of these decisions are being made by Donohoe and some of the coaching mistakes have to fall on the shoulders of some of the position coaches. GW was a defensive coach it isn't up to him to show teague how not to get blown off the ball or Bledsoe how to get rid of the ball when the pocket is collapsing. GW has 12 wks to show he can bring this team together then he has no contract and a decision will have to be made by TD and Wilson. Until the team becomes the "Super Bowl" contender everyone picked on paper stay with the game plan and dont be a Hater. :madcloud:Later Hater

Appreciate the commentary :up:


But, even a blind chicken gets a piece of corn now and again, the old saying says. The thing is, GW and toady-in-waiting KG have made so many goofy decisions thru the last 2+ years, he has litt confidence. Wish it wasn't so, but the reality of the NFL, with free agency, is that if nothing is accomplished in 3 years or so, the exodus of players often closes the window of oppertunity.

The question is how does the team effectivly deal with past decisions at this point in a young season, not by totally disrupting team chemistry and confidence. Everyone in the organization has to play their role, show some heart and continue to progress not second guess every playcall. The fans have a job to do and so does the staff, lets not forget who's actually on the field. At the year end GW,s contract ends, lets wait "till then to make these tough decisions. :afro:Bowl Bound!!!

After the punt-block fiasco Sunday, the defense returned to the field and appeared discouraged and listless. The apparent ease that Cincy showed in finishing off the drive with a TD made a lot of us in Section 122 wonder if the defense had just given up. The subsequent drive for a field goal by Cincy made us think they really HAD given up.

If a coach begins showing a lack of faith, the players will follow. When the players begin to wonder, then the coach has lost his team.

Good point, thats why I cant say his decision not to kick the field goal on second down was that bad of a call. It showed a belief in his offenses ability to execute what they call their bread and butter play. If he would have tried and missed the kick many would have still called for his job and effectivly he would have lost his team. LETS BOWL BABY!!!

Personally, I liked the call to go for it. It might have been a help to get Travis Henry's confidence up.

Could be the most important play of this young season and might save GW's JOB. :afro:BOWL BOUND!!
