Some Ultra Conservative Play Calling by Future Bills Coach Dick Jauron

This series just took my displeasure of the Jauron hiring+extension to a whole new level. The Bears get the ball at their own 30 with 56 seconds and 3 timeouts. Luckily they bust a run play to get into Bills territory. Eventually the Bears are at midfield with 5 seconds left and 2 timeouts and decide to run the worst play possible - a handoff up the middle. This wasn't 1947 it was 2000. How do you not try either a hail mary, a field goal or try to gain a few yards and call timeout. It's almost like possibly scoring was a disease to Jauron here and he did everything to not catch it. If you want to wave the white flag just take a freakin knee. Of course Ralph thought it would be a great idea to make him the Bills head coach when the coach he had during this game, Wade Phillips, was pretty good and would go to coach in several playoff games and Super Bowls while the Bills became stuck in a 17 year drought. It was like the Bills didn't even exist in the NFL during the Jauron era because they were so boring and irrelevant

People should soooo appreciate the amount of time and effort it takes to make these. As a Bills fan, I Greatly appreciate it!!

Thank you Nick! I think you're really going to like the video I'm working on now

[@Stone_Island40]

Totally agree! Go Bills!

That was when the Bears had Gary Crowton as OC, who actually had a pretty pass happy offense in 1999, but regressed in 2000 (due to Cade McNown) bolted to BYU. After that, it was John Shoop who made sure if it was 3rd and 6, you throw a 5 yard pass.

I’m a chiefs fan but I find this channel wildly entertaining

Dick "I'll have to look at the tape" Jauron. I remember it was between him and Mike Sherman for the Bills job. Marv Levy liked him because of his Ivy League background. Nice guy, but incredibly incompetent as a head coach. A better coach could have gotten more out of those 2006-2009 teams, especially in '08.

If not for his anomalous 13-3 season in 2001, the Bears would've sh*t-canned Jauron by Jan 2002. Jauron was on thin ice with the front office & anything other than a winning season would've sent him packing. ...but that's not what happened. If not for 2001....Jauron might've been relegated to a forgotten "defensive assistant", toiling away on a perennial loser, where never again would he receive consideration for an NFL Head Coaching position.
Thus, Bills fans would be spared the indignities of enduring their own "Dick Jauron Era."

Andy, as a fellow Bills fan I share your same frustration and hatred for Jauron. He was conservative to the point of absurdity. He's the poster child for that dark era in Bills history. I used to call him Skeletor because he was such a horror show. The Bills was without a doubt the most boring team in football during his run.

A shining example of the Chicago Bears 🐻 running their watered down version of MartyBall. Funny that they still do that to this day.

I remember being super pissed when Allen broke that long run, because the Bills had shut down the Bears offense and this hurt their numbers. I looked... Chi had about 58 yards entering this drive. Allen got half that on one run.

[@seandelevan]

Yet another game from this era(2000-2010) that I have nooooooo recollection of AT ALL. 😂

[@zyxwut321]

Wow, that's an exciting brand of football right there.

[@billstddrives7047]

I forgot that Shane Matthews existed.

[@zyxwut321]

So has Shane Mattews.

[@MrPhilaCuse]

I love how Marv's take was always "Welp they had to play their home games at Illinois that 1year". Cool what about all their other crappy seasons?

[@adampomietlarz1518]

And then Shane Matthew's became a bill
