Bills Offense-TM- Bills Sep. 4 - 12:05 pm et


According to a report on Profootballtalk.com, the Bills have fired offensive coordinator Turk Schonert.

The Bills offense was a total disaster in the preseason as the starters mustered just 303 total yards and five turnovers in four preseason games. Quarterbacks coach Alex Van Pelt will replace Schonert. The Bills were running a no-huddle offense all preseason and it's unclear how this will affect their offense. We think it would be crazy to just give up on the scheme 10 days before the season, but you never know.

What a mess.

A TO team only needs one play....throw it to TO

Okay, this is getting a little weird to have so many Offensive Coordinators get the axe right before the season starts.

And when he drops it, blame someone else and throw it to him again!

And if the qb has the audacity to throw it to someone else scream at the coaches until they throw it to TO again.

It's an epidemic.

Bizarre.

I think after the first shoe fell in Kansas City, it made it easier for it to happen in Tampa and Buffalo. "Hey, they did it. Maybe we can still fix this ..."

Oh, and Wade. I see what you're thinking. You're wasting your time. Jerry won't go for it.

Firing your offensive coordinator is the hot new trend in the NFL for 2009!

:laugh2:

Its a copy cat league

As that ship starts to sink, how enjoyable is it going to be to see TO spouting off in another team's uniform? That situation has disaster written all over it.

 

[Hypnotoad]

This is just bizarro.

I can not understand how after 4/5 preseason games a coordinator gets fired. What exactly was proven that wasn't proven at the end of last year?

I wonder if this has anything to do with next years proposal to cut the preseason games down to 2 and increase the regular season games by 2. By putting job security fears into the minds of coaches/coordinators across the league, teams who struggle to sell preseason games might create some momentum in eliminating those meaningless games. Nah, Sounds too crazy.

Unexplainable really. What do the Bills gain? Their coach is not new. There is no shift in philosophy. Their coach doesn't have an offensive mind.

Poor TO. Ship is sinking before it set sail.

Ironically, "The Turk" finally caught up with Turk. :

lol, how did TO get involved in this when he's been hurt?

 

[slick325]

"Did T.O. lead to this?" LOL! Since when has Owens become Emperor Palpatine from Return of the Jedi and the Star Wars prequels?????

Owens is a selfish, polarizing figure who can cause distractions BUT he is not the reason for all things negative in Buffalo or the rest of the world. I have no idea if he in fact asked for the OC to be canned but it could very well be that the OC sucked last season and nothing has changed.

I hadn't read your post before I wrote mine but we were on the same wavelength on this one. :laugh2:

The bills hadn't scored an offensive touchdown on the first 3 preseason games . Can't blame Owens on this one.

He intentionally got hurt to undermine the Bills Coaching Staff.
