It’s only a year and a half since Gregg Williams came into town, hired his own staff and the words were massaging the drums of the fans time after time after time. Those words were: “We are teachers. We will be teaching the players.”
Last Sunday, the teachers were taught a lesson on game planning; coaching, execution; tackling and everything else that helped the Patriots embarrass the Bills 38-7. Gregg Williams, Jerry Gray, Mike Sheppard, (then offensive coordinator) and the rest of the hand-picked coaches kept the cadence going last year – “We are teachers – we will teach.”
Many of the players and even the coaches were absent Sunday and there was no truant officer to find these students who got a failing grade. Even the Dean of the Bills Teaching University, Ralph Wilson, was surprised at the happenings on his home field in the biggest game of the season for Buffalo.
Ralph was quoted in the Rochester D&C that the turning point of the game occurred when Gregg Williams decided to punt from the New England 32 on fourth down. That boot sailed all of 15 yards and the Pats shoved it down the throat of a Bills defense that was helpless – if not clueless. Ralphie was not (and probably isn’t) a happy camper.
