Rookie mistake. He was trying to be fancy and break a tackle. I hate when people do that. Just plow ahead.

I don't think he needs to apologize. I think his teammates need to apologize for letting him - and us - down.

New owner.

Well, actually I think this exposes one of Jauron's glaring weaknesses that we have been content to overlook until now. He's a great strategizer but he's a horrible motivator. His complete lack of emotion is at least partly why this team is in a funk, I think. He's gotta get angry or, if he's more like Levy, philosophical or something.

Well, it wasn't just Bills fans. Peter King had him as NFL MVP of the first quarter.

Starting? It's BEEN depressing for several weeks.

What I want to know is how the Bills could look so good in at least three of their five victories and then just tank. Fewell and Schonert were mixing it up, making it interesting in a couple of those victories. Why so bland all of a sudden? I mean, it's one thing if the players simply aren't executing (which, in many cases, they're not), but it's like the whole scheme went dull all of a sudden.

Should we even bother restructuring this jerk's contract? He's been horrible this year, at least compared to last year.

OK, I'm outta here.

Fire Perry Fewell.

I would hardly say Trent and JP are in the same class. Remember, Trent is starting only his, what, 17th game? And he might have some leftover concussion issues. Plus the playcalling doesn't help. Don't get me wrong, he looks horrible but I'm not ready to write him off completely.

No kidding. This is unbelievable.

Lindell is good, man. Really good. Just wish it didn't come down to a FG there.

And that call was on Peters. Idiot. And he's looking down at Trent on that sack.

Yeah, don't these RBs have any peripheral vision? There was one run where, if Jackson hadn't so blindly followed his blockers (who were clearly going nowhere), he could have had a TD.

They're getting outcoached. I think they have the talent, but the coaches have not called a good game so far. Why not more blitzes? Why not more variety on offense?

Yeah, and where's the pressure on Favre??? Dude, this sucks.

It's like Miami Vice On re-runs: just as bad. Fins More like manatees.

Sure didn't sound like cell phones to me. And CBS had video without audio for awhile, so I don't think the fault is entirely with the stadium and power company (though it certainly is to some extent).

What I don't understand is, if power is out for the whole stadium, how are they powering the radio broadcast? Generator?

This is excruciating. I was soooo looking forward to this game, too. Now I get to watch snippets of the Bungles. Woohoo. It's definitely a problem all over the country, though. I don't have too many problems myself, but we have a town-owned electric company which is a rarity.

Hey I like that idea. I'd love to see Turk cook up some interested formations like that. Hell, I think it would be cool to try some variant of the A-11 offense on a play or two, but not just as a gimmick (then it's too predictable) - that's the one where you put two QBs on the field at the same time.

I agree completely. While I'm not defending Schobel, I've always thought Sullivan was overly negative. About 18-20 years ago or so he served as a "celebrity" judge in a slam dunk contest at my high school. I seem to recall it was some sort of charity event or something. Anyway, because it was supposed to be all in good fun, all the other judges were giving out scores between 7.5 and 10 or something like that. Sullivan gave out a 3.5 to some poor guy. Ever since then I've always thought of him as a bit of a jerk.

I was going to say, didn't anybody think of Youboty? He's been having a heck of a season so far.

I speed read through this thread so I might have missed someone saying the same thing, but I think the crappy first three quarters were the classic letdown for a young team coming off a big, character-building road victory. In fact, I wouldn't have been all that surprised (depressed like a good native Buffalonian, but not surprised) if they lost today. They'd still be a good football team, perhaps third level down: the elite like Dallas are on top, then there's a few just below them and, with this victory, that's where I think Buffalo is, rather than a step below that - if any of that makes sense (been a loooooong day). Also, I disagree with a few of the posters regarding the coaching. I thought it was solid. The kickoff/punt coverage teams are clearly missing that core group we let go in the last couple of years, but they'll be back. Bobby April is just too good. And as for Jauron, I thought he did a good job. There's only so much a head coach can do. He can't play the game for his players. Speaking of coaching, while I think the rumors about Al Davis thinking about firing Lane Kiffin just show how off-his-rocker Davis is, Kiffin made some HUGE mistakes at the end in regard to clock management. He'll no doubt get better as he develops as a coach, but he clearly has a way to go.
