Everyone blames the play-calling and coaching first. Drew continues to get a pass by many.
But let me ask this, I'll throw out some players and then I'm curious why many seem to think it's the coaching and not the talent at these individual positions.
Denney: We'll assume that no other of our DEs are better since they don't play in his place.
How many OTs are there in the league that Denney can beat one-on-one?
Adams: Many of you rave about Adams, but he rarely goes up against anything other than a single team and still doesn't make any tackles. What, 6 all season and most if not all of those were in the first couple of games.
Posey: The man can run around, but he's not good at reading things and often overpursues. He's not a great tackler and isn't that great against the run.
Fletcher: He simply can't cover TEs or RBs v. the pass. He's awful and only mediocre against the run and is constantly missing tackles.
So why is it necessarily the coaching? Couldn't it just be that we were sold a bill of goods about those players and that they're highly overrated by TD?
B/c it seems to me that if you have such inadequacies in talent, then there's no way you're gonna compete with half a line and an extremely overrated LBing crew.
It's easy to say "rah, rah, go Bills" and tell others they're not fans, but it's much more difficult to think that perhaps you favorite players aren't really as good as you think, or would like to think, actually are!
And if they're not as good, then even better coaching isn't going to turn a piece of dirty tin into a golden idol.
