Bills check down the no huddle

by Steve

I guess it took 5 games to realize the no huddle sucks big time because the Bills will be moving on with out it. I wonder if it is the 4 losses, Trent's QB rating being the second worst for a full time starter or the 3 points put up against the lowly Browns, whatever it was thank god.

First of all why would a team exclusively run a no huddle? Why not mix it up at the very least? Why would a new coordinator keep the exact same offense after his predecessor was fired because it blew big time? Looking at the offensive line +all the injuries and the borderline inept QB what did Jauron see that made him think the no huddle was a good idea?

It is probably too little too late for the season, Jauron and even Trent Edward's career, I'm just glad it is done but we'll see.

On unrelated notes

Jamon Meredith is the new starting RT replacing Chambers/Scott.

Vic Carucci thinks we'll be looking at a Mike Nolan esque coach next year

And usually smart TMQ writer Easterbrook erred in calling Russ Brandon Matt Millen..

"The Bills have lost in consecutive weeks to winless teams, scoring one offensive touchdown in the last three games, and are on a 3-12 run since the moment last fall when Dick "Cheerio, Chaps" Jauron received a three-year, $9 million contract extension. Thank goodness Cheerio Chaps has long-term security! He did not, however, grant himself the extension: management did. During the same period Jauron has been on the Buffalo scene, Buffalo management has invested three first-round draft choices and a second-rounder in safety Donte Whitner, cornerback Leodis McKelvin, defensive tackle John McCargo and middle linebacker Paul Posluszny. After acquiring these gentlemen and granting them contracts with huge bonuses, Buffalo saved money by letting go safety Jim Leonhard, cornerback Jabari Greer, defensive tackle Justin Bannan and middle linebacker Mario Haggan. McCargo is a bust who has never started a game; Whitner is a journeyman-level performer, McKelvin and Posluszny are perennially injured. Meanwhile, Leonhard, Greer and Haggan are playing like stars for the Jets, Saints and Broncos, while Bannan is often on the field for the Ravens. Had Buffalo simply kept Leonhard, Greer, Haggan and Bannan and used the draft choices and money on other players, it might now be a real team. Time to recognize that Buffalo general manager Russ Brandon is Matt Millen: The Sequel."

Hindsight is 20/20 and how is McKelvin perennially injured? Second round picks get huge bonuses? Greer was an undrafted fee agent I think they already got their value there. Oh and 29 tackles and 2 sacks in 1.5 years for Haggan has STAR written all over it

  1. If the Bills would've kept Winfield, Clements, Peters, we wouldn't of had to draft other guys. Thrown in London Fletcher-Baker-Banta-Cain and the defense is old but better. Get rid of those two cracker ass defensive ends who can't play dead. Get rid of the bum QB, the retard coach and the teams fixed, it's simple!
