WTF @ Bills post game thread

God I am glad I was a fan during the first Gibbs tenure. At least I know what a good team looks like. This isn't it.

I think Dan's options were slim at that point. Gibbs spoke highly of Rivera got to see his discipline first hand being down in North Carolina with Nascar. The problem is that coaching ideology does not fly in the now like it did in the 80s. He might be a no nonsense guy but that will only go so far.

Fair enough.

That's what I've been saying about RR since he was hired here.

Today proved again that give me offense all day over defense.. Today’s NFL is meant for teams that can move the ball and score quickly. Our offense can never ever do that

[punch it in]

Only way to get a real coach here - not a re-tread looking for another chance is to have a wealth of 1st and 2nd round picks in the pot. There is only one way to do that.

The team comes out slow under Rivera. Kick the ball off, long TD drive. We get it, 3 and out.

On pace to set a record - allowing 17 opening drive td's to 17 different teams this season.

If JDR doesn't adjust his methods of teaching and gameplanning Ron seriously needs to consider sacking him at some point this year.

I would get rid of him now.

Excellent point.

Let me rephrase that.

On pace to allow 17 touchdowns on 17 opening drives this year.

Feel better?

Much!!!!

LOL

I knew what you meant , just busting balls

[skinsfaninok]

Washington has allowed a score on an NFL-high 59% of opponent drives through Week 3.

[skinsfan69]

the class this year looked strong and right now they all suck. you never know but we just have to draft someone.

[rocnrik]

We will not win 5 games …very sad. This team is imploding and I see it getting worse .

[Chief X_Phackter]

Positives? There aren't a lot, but there are some:

We're not the Giants (or 0-3).
There's 14 games left.
Undefeated vs the NFC/NFC East.
No injuries (that I'm aware of).

The obvious: It was a dreadful showing for the defense. The piss poor defense made Heinicke feel like he had to do it all. He forced things way too much. I can't fault him though - he's trying, and his receivers didn't help him much today.

Honestly, the way he plays he's going to be good for at least one, maybe two turnovers per game. Dude plays with his hair on fire, and I don't think he sees the whole field through the smoke. He's going to make some real good plays, and there's going to be head scratchers. He needs experience, and a defense that can stop the opponent from scoring on every drive.

I'm not ready to blow it all up like some are though. Everything wrong right now is fixable. Two losses to arguably the two best teams in the AFC right now is not the end of the world. Long way to go yet, and plenty of time to right the ship.

Let's see how they respond next week against the Falcons. That will tell us more about this team than what we saw today.
