Ya, the fact that he appears to be a nice guy makes it harder on me (and I'd assume most of us)..but again, this is a business where success is only measured by victories; Jauron simply fails to produce in that category.

This is exactly how I feel, and Rubes posted this very topic last night. To me, it's not about excusing JP for his putrid performance on that play (b/c there is no excuse), but rather that he never should've been put in that situation to begin with. Coaching 101: Put your players in the best possible position to succeed. Play to their strengths, and more importantly, be aware of their limitations.

This team is young, and it appears to be regressing rather than improving--that's the scary part to me. Last year we had a plethora of injuries, and a much tougher schedule and yet were more competitive. This year, Brady goes down, our schedule is an absolute joke, we don't have many significant injuries other than Schobel and Edwards (just recently), and we stink it up to high heaven.

i'm personally sick and tired of hearing how nice everyone is on the bills--such a high character organization we are. Certainly, no other team in the NFL wins while maintaining the high moral standards of the Bills. What a freaking joke. BuffaloBills.org: your site to a bunch of gutless tree-hugging pansies who lose with class. Last time I checked, a little mean-streak in football can actually be a positive thing. There's something to be said about a team's "intimidation" factor, and the fact that we seem to lack any.

I agree..I don't want to see another rookie QB here for a long, long time. I want a freaking veteran who's at least savvy enough to know what the F@#ck is going on on the field...b/c it's apparent that our coaches don't have the slightest clue. I would personally trade our 2nd round this year, and 2nd round next year to get McNabb. He's still in his prime, and he's a QB who can play in crappy weather. However, I still want to see more from Edwards..so hopefully he can patch up his vag, and get on the field again before the end of the season. If/how he plays the last two games, that might indicate which direction we should go in the offseason. With any kind of decent, consistent QB play this year we would could EASILY be 10-4 right now. (Wins against Browns, Dolphins second game, San Fran, and today). And i'm not talking about pro bowl caliber QB'ing..i'm simply talking about a QB who's capable of moving the chains every once in a while. Bring in McNabb or Bulger and fire Jauron...this team wins 11 games next year.

My hatred for the Jets runs deeper than my hatred for the Pats unfortunately. =( At least I can take solace in the fact that the Jets playoff run will be short-lived. And when Brett implodes in their face, they'll be back to square one. It's kinda sad how, as a Bills fan, I'm relegated to taking pleasure in watching other teams suffer.

LOL..i wish I could feel the same, but living in NYC, and being an avid WFAN listener, this one f'ing hurts. To me, today's game was my personal playoffs. In the end, same old story. After, 26 years, I'm really considering having an affair with another team.

LOL..the pieces are here indeed...pieces of utter monkey sh*t. How anyone can remain positive after this dismally atrocious display of football is beyond me. God bless you.

to me, all you have to do is look at that reverse that we ran with Johnson. We have roscoe, and Evans, but we run a reverse with Johnson--who is half as fast as those two. Great call, wrong personnel. This coaching staff can't take two steps without falling flat on their faces.

why are we even discussing that pass guys? it was crappy all-around...both JP and Reed are equally to blame, imo.

Amen

I don't give a sh*t if Jauron is designated a Saint by the pope. His time here has shown that he has no business being an NFL head coach. He can continue being a stand up guy from his couch at home. This is nothing personal, just reality. JP is a huge disadvantage to this team, but even more so is Jauron and Co. JP isn't the starter, he's the backup...Why put the game on his shoulders by running a bootleg? Answer the question. Why? Had we run a bootleg all game? We've probably run 5 bootlegs all year. But we call a bootleg with 2:06 left, on the road, up by 3, after lynch had just gotten a nice gain on a run and had 120+ yards rushing in the game. The purpose of coaching is to place your players in the best position to win and excel. A bootleg would have done no such thing there. The coaches failed.

I'm at a loss for words with both QB's. To think, that in early October I actually, for the first time in maybe 10 years, started feeling giddy about this team...and now here we are, arguably the worst team in the NFL right now.

Great post Rubes. I agree completely. In all my years of watching football, I don't think I've seen such a horrible play called (considering the situation). I was really numb. I felt as if everything was just moving in slow motion. This coaching staff drives me to the point of lunacy. Are we F@$@#ING CONSERVATIVE, OR AGGRESSIVE? We've been playing for the past 3 years w/ our F@#$@#ing tails between our legs, and the one god dam freaking time that we need to be conservative we run a freaking bootleg!!.. for christs sake, did we even run a bootleg ALL GAME? I can probably count all the bootlegs we've run all season on one hand. It's not only that we ran a bootleg, but it's that we called a play which required putting the game into JP's hands and later into the hands of a FB who has probably caught 1 pass this season. That's what really gets me. JP is our backup, we're up by 3 with 2 minutes left, so why would the coaching staff fell the need to force the issue, and put the game on JP's hands when all we have to do at that point is take time off the clock. If the colts did this with Manning or the pats with Brady, I would still consider it a pretty ballsy call. But that the Bills coaching staff ran this play with our backup in there, on the road, when he hadn't been playing a stellar game to that point anyway..well, jesus freaking christ. All of a sudden, Jauron got a bolt of testosterone with 2:06. I simply don't get it.

Has anyone noticed that when we actually started throwing some slant plays we were able to move the ball? I think that quick slant in the endzone to Johnson was the first time that play has been called down there all year. To me, that's completely unacceptable on the part of the coaches. Lynch was a beast today, and the O-line held their own. As for JP, what can I say. Do we really expect anything else from him? He's a backup on this team, and a 3rd stringer possibly on others. To me, it's simple. As a coaching staff, one of your primary (if not the only) functions is to put your players in the best position to possibly succeed. With 2:06 seconds left, up by 3 in the 4th, marshawn just got a run up the middle for yards, jets just called a TO and had 2 left, and you call a bootleg? A BOOTLEG? A F%@#ING BOOTLEG? I really, really don't understand this coaching staff. To me, it seems like they always do X when they should do Y and vice/versa. It's f@#$ing disgusting. If buffalo needs to be aggressive, they're conservative. When it's time to be conservative, they're aggressive. When it's time to run, we pass. When we should pass, we run. If a play is questionable, they don't challenge. If a play is clear, then they challenge. This coaching staff, from top to bottom (with the exception of April), has to be possibly the worst stack of monkey crap compost in the NFL. Impale them all.

You know how I know you're a m0ron? Very simple. Edwards has only missed two the last two starts, but ya, had he not missed the last three games then I'm sure HE - being the savior that he is - would've won them all.

how the f@#$%@# did a FB beat our LB around the edge? how the F can that happen?!?

At this point, I think I would rather see the Patriots make the playoffs over the Jets. Your thoughts? Best case scenario, I would just rather have Miami win the division and have both the Jets and Patsies miss the wild card. Let Miami have their day in the sun I guess... =(

lol. Sorry. I did say that I really hope we beat the jets this week though.

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.

With all due respect, I hope you realize that if either Collins, Warner, or Garcia come in, Edwards won't have to stumble to be replaced, b/c there's no way in hell any of those guys take a backseat to Edwards.

this season has nothing to do with Crowell. Scoring a combined 6 points in 2 games; losing 3 in a row to divisional opponents; & having arguably the worst offense in the NFL had everything to do with our collapse.

I agree

Actually, half-squat, I would disagree 101% with our 100% and say that it's not a loser's attitude. If you stop and think about it, it takes more balls to say, "here, we'll give you the ball to start off, b/c I know that you can't score regardless." It means that you're not afraid of the other team or their pathetic offense, and those prissy pansies won't move the chains past the 5yd line on us!
