I'm not sure that it ever was coaching.
Three perfect examples:
1. Use of Stupar. On the first couple of drives the Bills ran to whatever side Stupar was on EVERY TIME. Sometimes they put him in motion and sometimes they didn't. I was pissed because it was very Jauron-like. But when the Bills finally started moving the ball, it's because they used Stupar as a decoy and to create mis-direction plays. They'd run a draw to the opposite side and Stupar would run behind the line to block, etc. They even had Stupar go in motion then return to the end of the line on the TD play to get the LB moving the wrong way. But it's not the coach's fault when the players start missing blocks, missing passes and holding the ball too long.
2. On the 3rd and short that was completed to Steve Johnson short of the first down (when the game was still reasonably close), Parrish was WIDE OPEN. Parrish runs ****ty routes. He's NEVER open. But the coaches devised a play that completely beat the coverage. But Edwards didn't seen him then threw to Johnson, who failed to get to the 1st down marker. It's not the coaches fault that Edwards and Johnson couldn't execute.
3. Disguising the pass rush. Early in the game, the Bills showed blitz and forced a GB timeout. After the TO, they showed the same blitz but backed out of it. They actually showed the same blitz numerous times- sometimes they ran it, and sometimes they didn't. And sometimes they blitzed from a different position. The problem? The pass rushers NEVER got there. Didn't matter if it was Kelsay or Florence on the corner blitz or pressure from the opposite side- the pass rush was horrendous. Again, not the coach's fault.
Look, I can't stand Jauron as a coach. I think he's a complete moron who thinks himself right out of games. But look at the steaming pile of **** he had to work with. It doesn't matter who our coaches are. The talent on this team is ****ing HORRENDOUS. There are CFL teams that could beat us.
