He is as conservative as they come. He has repeatedly said, come the fourth quarter all you want is a chance. He coaches to keep the game close, hoping that somehow they can pull it out in the end. Terrible!!

The Bills don't game plan in preseason....I don't think...I mean I hope they didn't

The coaches who fired the coordinators are young and inexperienced. This doesn't mean they are wrong either. I think each coach knows from practice how his team is doing. If they don't they are not good coaches. Some coaches game plan more than others in preseason. Some coaches show absolutely nothing. Some coaches put winning in preseason as a priority, some don't.. Look back at some examples...Detroit was 4-0 last year, Buffalo beat Pittsburgh last year. Remember Steve Spurrier in Washington? They kicked butt in preseason only to suck in the regular season. If the Bills are not sandbagging then they are in trouble. I just refuse to judge from preseason games. I'm more worried based on what Jauron has done the past couple years.

He's retiring from football so can go solve global warming.

Thank God for firewalls

Maybe so, but don't you think we need to give Edwards the chance in the regular season? Fitzpatrick will never be a solid starter in this league. I think there is still hope for Edwards.

I agree, there is plenty of room for this team to get worse. But missing the playoffs every year and hanging close to .500 footbal is just too frustrating. Maybe they should just blow it up. Also I see Demetrius Bell starting at left tackle in the not so distant future. He has an upside that Walker does not have. Might as well let Bell, Levitre and Wood all grow together. On a side note, it might be time to say goodbye to Kelsay.

Maybe we should just punt.

A Dark Cloud looms over OBD

There is alot of talk about the horrible offense, but what about the pass rush? This is a major problem. If this defense could rush the QB it would be dangerous. But it can't. So we will see lots of third down failure again.

If Fitzpatrick is our starter, the season is over.

Will Tebow be a great NFL QB?

This year we probably will miss him. In the future with a seasoned Wood and Bell, and a very good tight end in Nelson, we may not miss him at all.

The third preseason game usually indicates how good a team is. I sure hope this is not the case for the Bills. If it is an indicator, they are in trouble. Still no pass rush, a horrible no huddle offense, cannot run the ball, stupid penalties, a coach that shows no passion and a Qb that's lost all his confidence. It sure looks like Jauron will be gone by mid season and replaced by April. If that happens, it's too bad Wilson wasted precious time when Jauron could have and should have been gone at the end of last year. As a rabid Bills fan for years, I sure hope they are just fooling us.

I thought he had freedom of speach. Or is that only when he says what you like? Ridiculous to tell someone they need to go spend some time in the middle east. Or maybe you are in favor of mandatory military service. Have we gotten to the point where the treatment of a flag is more important than how we treat people?

The Bills went to the superbowl 4 straight years and looked terrible in preseason. It means nothing. Why is Greenbay showing all this in preseason anyway? If they are actually game planning then of course they are going to kill people. Do you remember when Washington hired Steve Spurrier? They were gangbusters in preseason and sucked during the year. Could Greenbay be good? Sure, but they won't be dominating like that when the season starts, IMO.

Exactly right.

Greenbay ran stunts and gimmicks on defense. Edwards said that they did not expect a complicated package to be used against them by GB. We do need to take this under consideration when trying to evaluate a preseason game. That being said, the game did not inspire confidence. I can certainly understand the pessimism but I just don't think preseason games should be weighed too heavily. If I recall correctly, the Bills beat the Steelers last year in the second preseason game. We all know how things turned out for Pittsburgh. I'm not predicting a great year but I think we won't truly know how good the Bills are until the bullets start flying for real.

Where would the continuity be if we fired Dick?

Obviously this won't happen if Pittsburgh wins, but i think you might get your wish by week 8

Since Jauron has complete control over hiring and firing of coaches, and he is the HEAD coach, then he is more to blame then anyone.

Letting Trent call his own plays at the line won't help either. When Kelly called his own plays he was prepared during the week by the coaches. He knew what he was going to see. He practiced against the defense he would be seeing. The coaches prepared him mentally with a game plan that would be effective. I don't see Edwards getting the same type of preperation from this lousy staff. So we would just have an unprepared quarterback calling his own plays.

I noticed the bull rush also and was wondering if he had lost a step. I hope he turns it up come regular season. Also if I was Kelsay I might wonder if I'm going to be cut. He has under impressed so far. Does anyone think it's a possibility that Kelsay is cut?

The problem with needing a miracle to win a game means they would still be a lousy team. As crazy as it sounds, I'd rather they lose a close, hard fought game where we competed and showed that we can play with the Patriots, than to beat them by some crazy series of flukes and still be a bad team.

I think Jauron will be gone if the Bills start poorly. Ralph will promote April as interim head coach. This way he's not spending on a new coach this year.
