Stop blaming the coaches especially Greg Williams

[chris36]

The Redskins were missing one player on defense today, Pierson Prioleau. Thats not an excuse. As for Greg Williams great defenses, the last game he coached in Buffalo was a loss(31-0).

Gregg Williams paid the price for the Bills' flop this season, losing his job as head coach.

Team president Tom Donahoe, calling this season a regression, believed the only way for the Bills to move forward was with a new coach. So Williams will not be rehired after completing his three-year contract with a 17-31 record, 6-10 this season.

"We just didn't feel we had made enough progress this year," Donahoe said Monday. "We have regressed this year. And I just didn't have the confidence going forward that we could get that turned around."

The record was particularly disappointing for a revamped team Donahoe bolstered by spending about $20 million in bonus money this offseason. After an encouraging 2-0 start, the Bills unraveled, particularly on offense, and ended the season losing seven of the last nine, capped by Saturday's 31-0 loss at New England.

Wow, one time he let up 31 points...he must be total crap....they only had the #2 defense that year. Your little random article without a source even says that their offense was what unraveled.

Chris36, I suggest you abandon ship on your "Gregg Williams sucks" kick. It's sinking fast and you don't want to go down with it. You are not helping your credibility.

[chris36]

Yeah, your probably right.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but G. Williams coached in a Super Bowl and did a decent job in slowing down the "greatest show on turf" in that game.

Guys were arguing over Greg Williams, hes brought our D to great heights his first year and the year after that, by no means has he "lost his touch" thats very ignorant statement, this guy knows what he's doing and if Joe gives up the ropes in the next few seasons i would dare say that Dan Snyder would put him at head coach. However with some offensive help, and Al Saunders offense with a QB and a descent O line could get some exictement back into this organization and fans. Lets not give up on these guys yet. GO SKINS

i was at the game yesterday, and the redskins hardly blitzed at all. this was greg williams m.o. in the last two seasons defense. play hard, get to the ball,and be aggressive( i.e - bltz the hell out of the opponent) why all of a sudden did we stop blitzing?

[dmek25]

the younger guys hardly remember the sucess the skins enjoyed under coach gibbs original tour here. i am sure that most of them arent giving gibbs the free pass that the older fans have.

I am your age and I sure am not giving Gibbs a "free pass". He needs to get out of the play calling.

This was evident during last years playoffs when the defense carried the Skins to Seattle.

Blaming the defense for all of the woes is BS.

This team has the “most talented” offense in the league and can not out score anyone!

[Hog1]

Teams with problem area's are probably player related. We are a team in disarray. I cannot think of any aspect that good. Special Teams has done the best that I know of, but all else is a bust............totally. COACHING. That is probably better news than being devoid of talent on the player side. I have no doubt Joe2 can right the ship, but..........realistically lets role out the 2007 team and find out who wants to be a "REDSKIN" and who does not.

we're 3-6 - there's plenty of blame to go around. GW has given us the #3 and #9 defense the last two years, and has a track record of good defenses (he turned the bills D from jokes to top 3), so i'd look more at the players and circumstance before calling for his head.

guys like breaux and saunders may be extraneous. That doesn't mean they're terrible, just that i don't personally believe that they really add a lot of value... too many chefs and all that.


as far as the bills losing games - their offense has been bad for a long time, their OL isn't good, their QB play isn't great, and GW has never been known as an offensive guy.

why would we want andrew walter? if anything, gibbs will want a vet backup.

Al Saunders, we need 5 you throw for 3 , we need 8 you throw for 6. what gives?

Some guy from the Washington Post said this morning on WashingtonPost radio (hurray clock alarms) that those dump off plays were more Mark Brunell rather than Sanders, a few were Sanders devices such as the run on 3rd down (which converted, who else was shocked). I believe most of those passes were check downs, just like 90% of the passes Brunell threw.
