Listening to sports radio around here is much like what it must be listening to it there. They will complain about certain players there, like Edwards, O line, D backs... Here they complain about Delhomme and Peppers. Peppers isn't worth anywhere near the franchise contract they gave him. The word here is that he has given up. Someone that knows him said he is actually playing out this year for the money, then supposedly trying to make it in the NBA. He didn't want to play here. He has been his entire life, went to college at UNC, now with the Panthers. He wanted out and told them that, but they wouldn't listen. Peppers doesn't worry me near as much as their running backs against our run defense.

Thank you, I needed a laugh.

How do you figure? Things get stale. It happens all the time in all walks of life, not just coaching. Think outside the norm for just a moment...do you really believe the Broncos would have been better served keeping Shanahan? Would the Steelers be any better off having kept Cowher? Would the Chargers have really been better, personnel wise (since the Gm couldn't get along with him) had they kept Schottenheimer? Time passes and things need change or they regretfully stay the same. You can turn it around on us...keep bringing in coaches without proven track records, without a new energy and it doesn't matter what name you insert, the result is the same. Believe it or not, change can be a good thing, even when it doesn't seem it.

Believe me, Delhomme doesn't need wind to look bad. Since the Panthers are the game that is always shown here, I have seen more than enough of him to know he is mediocre. The biggest worry for this weekend is Foster and Stewart.

This generally means it's time to move on. Probably best for both parties, much like Denver did this year. I imagine the same will hit Belichek in a few years. At a certain point, everything stays status quo and there needs to be new life, new blood injected into the system.

It's nice to know we aren't alone isn't it? I think it would be great if Jauron had done this...last year. That way he would be gone already this year.

If you hate to be him, why be him? There are multiple misspelled words, sentence fragments, missing punctuation, etc. on this site, they don't get pointed out out of courtesy. Some of these things may even be for effect. If not, who cares? Does it somehow diminish your intellect by reading the inappropriate spelling or part of speech? Does it actually make your day worse? Aren't there enough things to complain about around here without calling out something like that?

What they do have though, and I attribute it to the person and team leadership more than the coach, is heart. This team could have easily mailed it in by now, much like the Titans. Take a spirited coach, like Gruden, and let him take over a team with this much heart and passion for the game, even if the passion doesn't show in emotion, and I believe some real talent...would be a great combination. I think too many people give Jauron credit for his guys playing hard every week. That's on the players not the coach. The coach can't teach integrity.

It is pathetic isn't it? The complete lack of enthusiasm from these guys. I was late to the bandwagon for people saying the team takes the coaches personality, but it really does seem that way. I actually just saw the same "Jauron" look on Norv Turner. They are a lot alike...rehashed, proven failures. It would be nice to see a Gruden type here that could bring some life and urgency to these guys.

I actually like the idea of him as a coach even more after seeing him on MNF. He is a lot more personable than I imagined. Really, when you listen to him, he doesn't really seem like "Chucky" at all.

I don't know about that, I thought for sure this game would end in a tie. Really, how many of you weren't expecting Buffalo to give the ball back somehow again and snatch away another victory?

Add the Saints, for three quarters. That's more than anyone else has done against them. Now they just need to figure out how to tackle a runner.

What did we learn from this performance? In my opinion, we learned that through many injuries and some good fortune handed to us by the Jets, along with decent play on offense and above average on defense, excluding the run defense...we learned that Ralph will find enough excuses to keep the current staff in place at least through the season.

I still think the lack of success on the field is rubbing off on the fans. This thread is just one more reason to believe that. Like our offense, this thread is wrong on many levels, should be flagged, and really doesn't accomplish what it's intended to. At least figure out the difference between sale and sell...sheesh.

Like it matters. Ralph won't have a clue what it's about.

I don't think it goes up until the beginning of next week, but I'm not sure. I'm anxious to see it too, regardless of how many people on here say it's classless.

That arm injury can't help him in the draft. The same injury as last year...has to make him fall.

Was there a sighting...maybe he got picked up at the airport and was with Gruden?

The thing to remember with him is that he hasn't done a lot of playing, but I don't think that's a negative with him. He is a fifth year senior, but played backup until injury let him play. He plays hurt...with a broken arm. Looks great to me so far.

No, no, no...click the thread link in his post...he doesn't like name calling. Well, unless it's him doing the calling, obviously.

Who are you...Skooby reincarnated? Gosh, you're just a peach aren't you. Is anything you have stated here something the rest couldn't have seen? It all seems kind of obvious, but we are all proud of you for you sooth seeing abilities. I find it hard to believe this offense would be going anywhere with Peters here still either.

I have lost all hope of winning a divisional game this year, unless a new staff is brought in mid season. I don't see a chance of us beaing the Jets, especially after they were shown up on national tv Monday.

He can be a fan can't he...it's not like he's their sniper or something that would prevent him from liking the team.
