Cynical

Its not just the coaching blunders during a game, it's the whole package. Every coach makes game time mistakes, and so do players. A well prepared team can overcome those mistakes. A poorly prepared team cannot. Teams make decisions based on their preparation. A poorly prepared team leads to things like wasted time outs, confusion by the players because their opponents are not punting on 4th down deep in their own territory, etc ... In short, it's impossible to make confident sound decisions (i.e on where to throw the football) when the foundation for that decision is crap to begin with.

I am not dismissing it. But the concussion was not cause for all of Edwards problems last year. Edwards threw 3 picks in the Cleveland game. Those 3 picks were caused by: A. a concussion B. Trent being unprepared Two questions: 1. Was JP gone for the year because of that injury? 2. Who named Edwards the starter?

Heck, every team in the SEC should put up a plaque containing Kiffin quotes. Kiffin is going to learn the hard way that he is not in the PAC-10, and Tenn is not USC. Georgia, Florida, and Bama are loaded with talent, and are well coached.

Just for the record, can poor coaching cause poor QB play? I want to be sure that poor game planning, poor play calling, poor game management, and poor time management has absolutely no bearing on QB play ...

A.) Apparently you missed the word "beginning" B.) Yes, it's called starting the rookie QB before they are fully developed. Heck, Jauron declared McNown his starting QB BEFORE the kid even signed a contract.

Oh, the concussion angle again. Never mind Trent saying he felt unprepared for the Cleveland game. Did the concussion cause Edwards to throw 3 picks?

Great. As long as you continue to publicly support the loser when he does fail. Just keep telling us how nothing is his fault.

No. But Jauron's history with rookie QB's is beginning to look like a text book example of how NOT do something.

But when you spoke of those generalities, you applied it specifically to this case: If the promise was made by the Gators third string center, I could see your point. However, the promise was made by the teams leader, a fierce competitor who may go down in history as one of the best ever at his position. And I really do not think Tebow had anything to do with this plaque being put up. What I got out of the article was the school made the decision. I seriously doubt Tebow is nothing more than a product of a system of "false" praise.

Yep. Nothing like the head coach naming an unsigned rookie to be his starting QB. That's all Jauron and his apologists ever had to work with. Always too busy telling everybody why DJ CANNOT produce, and never showing any evidence of why he CAN.

And it will hard to uncover it when the coaching staff refuses to get off the spot where they buried it.

#1 - true #2 - true, with a caveat. Pats* will have the most time to prepare for the Bills #3 - absolutely agree #4 - I do not know about that #5 - Unfortunately, this one is on Monday night, where the Bills have sucked royally in recent history #6 - You mean "Shotgun" Schonert, our OC? Don't hold your breath.

Actually, there is nothing illegal for employees working "off the books". The problem is not reporting the income. As long as the women report the income as self-employment income (and pay the self-employment tax that comes with it), the IRS has no problem with them.

Oh, look. Another trademark Dick Jauron Signature Epic Collapse.

The thing that jumped out at me was that every starter on their OL is somebody they drafted or somebody they developed through their system. Compare that with the Bills. It may or may not mean a thing, but it does make one stop and go "hmmmmm ...".

To further expand upon this: Taken from the Patriots* website, the Unofficial depth chart (updated 3/20/2009) shows the following: LT Light, drafted by the Pats* in the 2nd round in 2001 RT Mankins, draftd by the Pats* in the first round in 2005 C Koppen, drafted by the Pats* in the 5th round in 2003 RG Neal, UDFA originally signed by the Pats* in 2001 RT Kaczar, drafted by the Pats* in the 3rd round in 2005

Oh, for f**ks sake ... Linky I will readily admit he is an excellent college QB, probably one of the best at the collegiate level, but a fugging stone plaque of his "promise"?! Before he has even graduated?!! They are going to look extremely retarded in Gainesville if (and that's a mighty big if) the Gators tank the upcoming season. Should have waited until he graduated.

I need to open one of those clubs, or at least make everybody think I am. That way I can partake in viewing the interviews and auditions.

I give them credit for trying every year, because they do actually try to do something. Now, they need to try and make their efforts produce positive results, something we haven't seen for quite awhile.

If you treat that like a 7 minute meal, then you do not deserve that. She is like a scrumptious 5 course meal with a delightful dessert ending. Back to the poll ... I chose Popeye's because the food is actually pretty good for fast food. However, there is only one store near me for miles. And the service is absolutely horrendous.

Mostly Discovery, HBO, and USA Everything else is just here and there. Some of the shows I do make time for: Burn Notice The Deadliest Catch True Blood (when it was on)

The day the Bills trade Edwards for Cutler. Then we will hear all about how Edwards could not win because he was too stupid, etc ...

Interesting. You conveniently left out the facts (sack wise) the NY Jets were 7th in the league, the Raiders were 13th, The Seahawks were 10th, the Lions were tied at 16, and the Cowpukes were #1. How did that work out for all of them? And the Cardinals? 14th. In order for the Bills defense to "win the championship", the Bills have to make the SB first. In order to make the SB, the have win playoff games. In order to win playoff games, they actually have to make the playoffs. In order to make the playoffs, they actually have to produce a winning record. Got it? 1. Winning record 2. Make playoffs 3. Win playoff games 4. Make SB 5. Win SB Unless the pass rushing DE is also a run stuffing DE, then the pass rushing DE is worthless. Opposing teams will not have to worry about the pass rushing DE when they can just line up and shove the ball down the Bills throat. I'll worry about a situational (and potentially one dimensional) player like a pass rushing DE as soon as the Bills can do numbers #1 and #2. But they will never be able to accomplish number 1 and 2 because the FO is too busy fugging up the offensive line.

Born and raised in the WNY area until the economic reality forced me out. But thanks for playing. And instead of supporting your position, you made a pathetic attempt to insult me. The Bills defense was 14th in the league last year, both in points and yardage. It ranked 13th in passing and 22th in rushing. The Bills offense was 23rd in points, 25th in yardage, 22nd in passing, and 14th in rushing. The Bills cut loose their starting center and starting LG. They replaced the center (we hope), but still have not addressed the LG position. Throw in the potential of losing their starting LT on top of that, and the FO once again looks like they are half assing it in addressing the offensive problems. So, please explain how does a pass rushing DE solve those problems?

Yeah, because a pass rushing DE will fix the anemic offense. Then throw in a FO seemingly hell bent on creating more problems with the offense, than they are fixing it. Can't wait for the season.
