Default Just WTF was Buffalo thinking?

On the first play of their last drive they get a big pass, and then for God knows what reason, they decide to run the ball on 3 straight plays after that, choosing to kick a 47 yarder rather than trying to get more yards and make it shorter... well at least we don't have to worry about them anymore.

Just a total lack of situational awareness by Jauron. He has to know that they're going into the wind. A 45 yarder into the wind in BUFFALO is way too much to ask of a kicker, especially when you've got time to get 5-10 yards closer against a crappy Browns defense.

Horrible coaching.

You guys are insane. He just watched RAC and his OC mindnumbingly try to do just the opposite only to have two kickers save their pathetic asses...LOL They were running all over RAC's D all night. Edwards was so erratic they'd had to.

They had 40+ secs, more than enough time to score a td let alone get a few yards to make it a shorter fg.

While I hate the Bills, I have always liked Jauron and wanted him to do well, being local, etc. But I have concluded that he just is not a very good in-game coach. From failing to challenge Welker's catch against us during the last game to the type of errors referred to here and other places, he's just not good decision-wise on the field. He seems respected by his players and peers, but I'm just not seeing it, as much as I would like to. That being said, RAC didn't, and hasn't, exactly covered himself in glory with the Browns, either.

You forgot the part about how they settled for that 47 yard field goal... that was INTO THE WIND!!! LOL!

How are you going to settle for that?!? Jauron is an idiot. I'm glad the Bills gave him that 3 year extension before the Bills got waxed by all 3 of us in the AFCE...

No way am I setting up for a FG there. He hadn't been picked off since the first quarter, it was horrible.

Even funnier--he apparently did try to challenge it, he was just so lackadaisacal about it that the Pats managed to get the play off anyways.

Is it really so difficult for people to just realize that a kicker missed a field goal attempt he could have hit? There was nothing wrong with the play calling. Linden has been a very good kicker in those situations, as ESPN pointed out, but he pushed it right. There's no need to read anything into the situation that wasn't there.
