These are the same two who stated in October the exentsion was made. Until the BUFFALO BILLS CONFIRM IT IS NOT REAL.
WTF...it says he signed it this Sunday! If this is true and it wasnt signed yet, Ralph should have taken it OFF the table, not let him sign the dam thing!
-
What do you think the odds are that T.O. still whines and complains this week because he got only 3 catches for 30+ yards even though the Cowboys came up with a big win?
My early guess is 60% chance he still whines...
-
Why can't the Bills even target Evans for throws? Double teams? Let me ask why that isn't the same case for, Steve Smith, Andre Johnson, Greg Jennings, Santana Moss, Brandon Marshall, Dwayne Bowe etc. All guys who see double teams and are a primary target in the passing game. Why is Evans the only high paid decoy on a team with few options at WR. Is he just not that good or is it all the QB?
Its the QB and coaches...mostly the coaches because they dont make an effort to make him a priority. Look at those players you talked about...those teams push the ball up field and take chances in their passing game...we look for the safe, conservative approach first and push when we are forced to.

Are you kidding me? I never thought I'd find someone who'd defend JP Losman over Trent Edwards. The running game being successful had nothing to do with JP.
And if he's such a "long threat", why the hell did he throw passes 2 yards past the line of scrimmage with the clock running down, 4 pts down, no TOs?
JP Losman is a disgrace to every person who has ever stepped foot on a football field
Wasnt defending JP, just saying with Trent in there they would have stacked the box more like they did last time, and we wouldnt have been able to as effectively run the ball...
-
His knee injury looks pretty serious. Any thoughts on the injury? Sprain or worse ACL?
The only good thing about his injury will be that Steve Johnson gets more PT, which I think is going to be a good WR. The bad part is if Hardy misses the rest of the season you still go into next year with out a clear idea if this kid can contribute.

If Trent Edwards had played we probably win. Yea I know. Hypothetical. Hindsight is 20:20. But it is my strong opinion that if Trent Edwards played today we would have won. Whether you liked the call or not, when FB McIntyre, for whom the pass was intended, got blocked at the line of scrimmage JP should have thrown the ball away. But JP being JP had no pocket presence, waited way to long, scrambled, and coughed up the ball. That play falls solely on his pathetic shoulders. He's got to know to get rid of the ball. No doubt Trent would have thrown it away. And what does JP do on our next possession? That's right , throws a pick. I will venture to say that if Trent had played the last three games there is a good chance we would have won all three. The quarterbacking was that bad folks. And that's why I feel Jauron should be given one more year with a average QB in Edwards instead of horrific CFL reserve JP Losman before we run him out of town. I never ever want to see JP play in a game for the Bills again. He makes me want to puke.
Considering Trent is afraid to throw passed the line of scrimmage, I dont see the logic...at least JP was a threat to throw long which made for a better running game for Lynch. When the Jets played the bills with Trent at QB, Lynch had like 9 carries for 17 yards as they just stacked the box...

Don't bother. I'm banning myself.
Excellent...see ya

AKA, the Jauron meeting with Ralph thread.
Seriously though, how do you explain these numbers:
Offensive Rankings:
- Total Offense (YPG) 2007- 30 / currently in 2008 - 23
- Passing (YPG) 2007- 30 / currently in 2008 - 20
- Rushing (YPG) 2007- 15 / currently in 2008 - 15
Defensive Rankings:
- Total Defense (YPG) 2007- 31 / currently in 2008 - 14
- Passing (YPG) 2007- 29 / currently in 2008 - 11
- Rushing (YPG) 2007- 25 / currently in 2008 - 19
Win/Lose Record:
We're currently as good as/better than:
- San Diego Chargers (6-8)
- Jacksonville Jaguars (5-9)
- Cleveland Browns (4-9)
- Green Bay Packers (5-9)
- Seattle Seahawks (3-11)
Granted, I agree we seem to be sucking. But, why does it appear we've improved so much, statistically speaking. So, are we really so bad that we need to blow it all up and start over? Or are we closer than it may appear?
We are closer than people want to see because we started so promising. Truth is, this team has no swagger or identity and that starts with the staff. The play calling, game management, etc have been inconsistent and generally pretty poor. Bring in a coach who is a proven winner, knows how to win games, and commands to respect of the players and we will be vastly improved.

I wanted the Bills to lose today. I know I'll catch spit for it, but I figure I can't be any less of a "real" fan than those looking for Ralph to die, the team to be moved, players to be assaulted, etc.
The Bills just aren't a good team this year. Winning a meaningless game or two now doesn't give me ANY satisfaction at all, and instead would leave me with a "what if" feeling.
But what a loss does is give the Bills better draft position and puts one more nail in Jauron's coffin. I can't totally blame him for everything, but the guy just isn't a winning coach. I gave him until this year, and was encouraged with the 5-1 start, but 6 of the last 7 games have been horrid. I don't care about the extension. Ralph should have waited until after the season to give it to him, and that's his fault.
So have at it. Call me names. I can take it.
Honestly, I saw today as a win-win...I hate the Jets, so beating the Jets would have been nice...more importantly I hate the Jet fans at the bar I watch the game at (ironically, most were not there today). But a loss just improves our draft position. So when we lost, my friends were like you dont seem nearly as pissed...I just responded, hey, just gives us a better pick next year and since we are out of the playoffs, that about all I can find positive at this point...lol
-
The play call left both sides shaking their heads. As Bills defensive tackle Marcus Stroud walked to the locker room he said, "Just run the (bleeping) ball" to a teammate.
Best part of the post...maybe we should promote Stroud to player/HC
-
Is there a more depressing time during the year than when the Buffalo Bills are officially eliminated from playoff contention? I mean, all the enthusiasm starts around the NFL Draft, and continues through free agency. You look forward to the season and think there's a chance that maybe, just maybe the team will do something special, or at least make a step in the right direction.
We came into this season with some serious hope. 2nd year QB who showed flashes as a rookie, new run-plugging DT and a LB from the super bowl champs.
What will it be next year? A DE or 2 in the draft or free agency, an offensive lineman or 2, a TE? But my real question is, will we get excited yet again just to be in this same exact spot next year at this time?
BLAH...............
What scares me about next year is our schedule...it looks brutal right now

He is 18 months old. Why should I make the rest of his sports-loving life miserable by being a Bills fan?
My wife is from Pittsburgh but she has no say in this and I can't let him being a Steeler fan, but why should I be so selfish and put him through this misery?
Somebody give me a reason.
Why dont you try letting your son be a fan of who ever he wants to be a fan of and quit your whining and continued pussification of this fan board...
-
Dear Ralph,
Just f***ing die already.
go f**k yourself and get the hell off this board and go be a Raider fan...you make it an emabarasment to be a Bills fan...
Please ban all these "ralph just die" classless dip sticks from this board...there is no place for it here...

3 years, money unstated. My head exploded. I cannot believe that they would release that information today. Here's the e-mail I wrote to the ticket office. Some of you won't like it. I don't care. No one important will read it. I don't care.
I just read on ESPN that Dick Jauron signed a 3 year extension to remain on with the team. After today's (and the past several week's) performances I am shocked, and irate with that decision. First of all, following the debacle that has become this season I do not understand how Mr. Jauron is keeping his job at all let along being extended. Secondly, I don't know who in the Public Relations office thought it was a good idea to release that information today given the way the Bills absolutely bumbled away that game but they deserve to be fired (if not publicly flogged).
My family held season's tickets from 1965 to 1995 when we moved out of the area. Since then we have made at least one trip every year back to Buffalo to watch a game. During that time we have all stomached more than our share of poor football. Right now I have half a mind to re-order the season's tickets just so I can call back and tell you all to stick them up your collective asses. To give extensions to the coaching staff of this pathetic excuse for a football team is a slap in the face to every person who cares about Bills football and I assure you this year will be the last year we travel up there.
The common thread for this team since 1960 has been Ralph Wilson. The only hope for this team to succeed is to find new ownership. Unfortunately that will not happen until Mr Wilson sells and he has made it abundantly clear that he will not sell the team until after he dies. Unfortunately, we all know that when that happens the Bills will be bought and moved to Toronto, or LA or somewhere else. Since nothing will change or improve until Mr Wilson dies maybe he should get on with it and put us all out of our collective miseries rather than continue to fleece us out of our money (and love) year after year with false hopes of glory.
Sincerely,
Falstaff_in_Philly"
It was a good post until you brought up suggesting Wilson should just die...what a joke...you put the success of a football team ahead of a human life...one that does a lot for charity and the community. Nice...no wonder other countrys hate our country...look at our priorities...a silly game is more important to you than the life of another human...
This kind of crap makes me sick and embarrassed to be a Bills fan...like everyone else like you who has made such a disgusting request, I hope you are banned...

la la la la la go bills
how's that?
That was perfect...

The anger is the result of 9 straight seasons without a playoff appearance and 13 years without a playoff win.
I think those fans who are upset have a legitimate reason to be. Especially when the owner laughs after losses.
DAM, NO ONE CAN READ! IF I WANT TO KNOW WHY PEEPS ARE TICKED, I CAN READ 10,000 WHINY POSTS ON HERE...THIS THREAD IS FOR SUPPORT ONLY...LET ME REPEAT, S...U...P...P...O...R...T ONLY!
-
I really do hope we win this week. I live in NYC, and NOTHING would make me happier than watching the Bills possibly help eliminate the Jets and Brett from the playoffs. After this week, I truly don't give a crap about the season.
I said posts of support and no negative stuff...that post you just made doesnt show any support and is negative...
I bet this thread will have few posts which is baffling that some many so called "fans" find it so hard to support the team they are supossedly a fan of...
KNOCK THOSE JETS OUT THE PLAYOFFS BABY! DAM I HATE THE JETS!
-
Im so sick of every post on here bashing Ralph, JP, etc...this is supposed to be the team you root for, but you dont even stand behind and support the players going out on that field trying to play their azz off for a win! Thats worse than Raider fans...I swear.
So, this post is to show support for JP and co. today to beat the Jets azz, I hate the Jets, especially the Jets fans at the bar I am watching the game at.
So, chime in here with ONLY comments of SUPPORT and encouragement for OUR TEAM for once, and hold the whining until the games over! Lets get some positive momentum going for our team today!
GO JP AND GO BILLS! BEAT THAT JET AZZ!

Look, I don't much care one way or the other whether Jauron gets fired. But it amazes me how may butt-stupid things people post on this board. Can't people at least THINK before they give advice?
If no one ever hired a coach with a losing record, three quarters of the coaches in the league would never be hired. Teams don't generally FIRE coaches with winnig records (except for the Bills, who fired Phillips who was nine games over .500 in three seasons).
Levy had a losing record when the Bills hired him. Belichick had a WAY losing record when the Pats hired him. And George Seifert had a fabulous record when he was hired by the Carolina Panthers and failed there.
This doesn't mean Jauron is a good coach or should have been hired. It's just that you can't make such broad generalizations. Yes, Ralph is a cheap owner and always has been, with a few exceptions. During the Polian, Butler and Donahoe eras he opened his wallet more readily. The worst thing ever to happen to this team, management-wise, was firing Polian, the second worst was firing Butler.
But that's just my opinion.
Excellent post...throw into this post that DJ also had a COACH OF THE YEAR title under his belt, and that DJ was MARV LEVYS guy...Ralph hired Marv, trusted Marv and went with the guy MARV wanted...
Im so sick of the Ralph blames for DJ, Williams, and Mularkey claiming they were hired to save money, when all these same yahoos are yelling to hire replacements that are just as inexperienced as Williams and Mularkey and are also cheap, claiming these cordinators (some are NOT EVEN corrodinators like that DB coach in TB and Lofton in Oakland) are the next big thing. So if Ralph goes with the trendy hire this season and he DOESNT work out, Ralph will be labeled cheap again. If he hires an experienced HC and he doesnt work out, they will say he is cheap again becuase he didnt throw an absurd amount of money at a HC witn NO, again NO, experience.
The best part about the Williams whiners on here is that you all yell he hired Williams because hes cheap, yet you also all yell we should have hired Marvin Lewis (I have no idea why) or John Fox...guess what, they were cheap too as they were also coordinators...so, if Ralph hires Fox for the same price and he has more success, Ralph is now not cheap but smart...a lot of people on this board are a joke.
Its a lose-lose for Ralph with these whiny arm chair quarterbacks on this dam board...

JP Is not going to stay in Buffalo. Even He is not that stupid. Assumg DJ stays he knows he will not get a chance to start. IF DJ goes JP is not going to wait around long enough to see who the new coach and OC will be. He is gone under either scenario.
I know, I said that in the bottom of the post you are quoting...even if he lit it up and Buff wanted him to stay, I seriously doubt he would...
-
DH67,
You've started several topics of late. I appreciate your optimism, but these statements are as vanilla as DJ's gameplans.
The team has several holes to fill, most notably at C, G, RT, DE, OLB, FS (EDIT: assuming Whitner does not move) TE, DT, and certainly coaching.
The situation is much worse than most realize. For example, the Bills went 7-9 in 2006 with one of the hardest schedules in the league. This season with one of the easiest, they're 6-7. That's not good, no matter how you spin it.
Coaching and players are part of it. But the people who find those parts are woefully inept. A complete house cleaning is in order, no matter how optimistic an opinion one has.
Agree with most of this but we dont need to fill holes at DT...We have a solid D front, just need help on the ends and at the LB position. And I am not sure we need as much help at TE as we all like to say...we just need to bench Royal and see what the two young guys can do, especially Fine, before we need to say its a need position. If you are talking Royal, then yes its a need position, but the Fine and Schouman have shown some potential.
Next years schedule is Brutal, thats what scares me...

Start Gibran Hamden, I mean, J.P., is gone after this season anyway, we are not making the playoffs, and the "loss man " led offense has racked up a whopping 6 points in 2 weeks!....whoa!, So really what is there to lose other then seeing what you have in this kid.....if T.E. cant go again next week, i say give him more reps with the first team in practice. How many of you agree?
I would agree that this has value...few things to consider though...
1. I get the impression that the FO is not sold on Trent as they once were and still are curious about JP...just a hunch, and I could be way off...but honestly, they just might want to see what he can do with some time in with the first unit...
2. We dont see Hamdan in practice, so maybe the staff sees more from JP and believes JP gives us the best chance to win, and right now, the staff needs to win as they are playing for a job next year.
3. Maybe they have seen enough of Hamdan in practice to show them hes not ready to be a #2 and no matter what we will have to bring in a vet next year given TE fragility, so they are going with JP to try and win the game as they dont see Hamdan as next years backup anyway.
That said, I am pretty sure JP wouldnt stay here even if he lit it up and the staff told him he would start next year if he resigns.
So, they should put Hamdan in to see if we need to go out and get a back up because Trent is not holding up and never has in his football career.

LMAO... get real.. Ralph sucks balls and is a cheap muther when it comes to coaches.
I honestly can't wait for his last days at this point
You make me sick...Someone ban this jackass...you just put a game above human life...
You cant wait for his last days? Does it even matter how much this guy does for charity, the community, etc? Is his only value the quality of his football team? Wishing for him to retire or sell the team is one thing, but to honestly say you cant wait for his last days? The owner of the team you love? No wonder the rest of the world hates our country, look at our priorities...what a joke...
Sad thing is that you are not the only sick f**k that has posted something as pathetic as this...maybe you should go out and start getting laid, a new hobby, or read a book because clearly you clinically obsessed with a game to the point you are rooting for a downfall of the health of the teams owner...
Not to mention no one wants the Bills to STAY in Buffalo more than this man...
-
I'm getting tired of all of the ..is Jauron going to coach next year or ... who will be our coach next year or... will Ralph pay for a decent coach? or ... will this person (insert name) be a good head coach? This all shows just how sad this season and the Bills are.
What I am the most sick of actually is the comments on how Ralph is not willing to pay for a coach based on his last couple coaching choices...
1. Williams and Mularkey were highly respected candidates and both considered to be good landings for Buffalo at the time (kind of like all this hype over a certain DB coach in TB this year). He didnt hire what was thought to be a bumb, he went for the hot young coach...a lot like you are yelling for him to do again this year.
2. Jauron was MARVS guy! Get off Ralph on this...Marv was brought in and Marv sold Ralph on DJ. Im so sick of hearing how Ralph wont pay...he gave a ton of money to our O-line and other FA's, traded for a stud in Stroud, paid big money to keep Evans, Schobel, Denney, and Kelsay (not saying Denney and Kelsay were good choices, just making the point he opened up his pocket book), etc.
Im just so tired of the constant whining on how cheap he is when he has clearly been spending money the last few years to make this team a contender. Some have panned out, some havent. Then he goes out and hires what were hot young sought after coaches in Williams and Mularkey who dont pan out just to see you guys cry out that he is cheap...then I see the same posters yelling to go get coaches like Singletary, that TB DB's coach, Lofton, etc. who are all going to be cheap unproven coaches just like Williams and Mularkey. WTF man...some of you people are just impossible...so when they dont pan out you are going to be screaming he is cheap again for not shelling out money for a big name. Its a lose lose for Ralph...
Then he hires a former NFL coach of the year in DJ that was brought in by Marv after going with 2 young unproven guys who didnt pan out...give him a break already. Marv missed on DJ...Ralph is PISSED on this as much as we are! The man WANTS TO WIN and is pissed we are not...He went out and got Bledsoe and his big azz contract too a few years ago...he wants to win, so get over it already. If making the right personell decisions were easy and clear as day every team in the league would be a SB contender every year...

I love this post...so many times I see Tomlins name used to justify us hiring a unproven coordinator or someone who isnt even a coordinator yet if we fire DJ...Truth is, Tomlin SHOULD NOT be the measuring stick of succesful unproven coaches as he already cost his team a win with a bone head call, then duplicated the call in the Dallas game which he was about to lose until Romo bailed him out, then made another dumb call in Balt this week. He wins because of the immense talent on the Pittsburgh team, not because he is out coaching anyone. Its funny how wins can hide bad coaching...If Tomlin was in Buffalo this year, I doubt our record would be any better...
