Cynical

Why? Are you trying to sell the one you foolishly bought last year? I'm sure you can offer proof the decision did NOT come from DJ? Why is it every bad decision that surrounds DJ is NEVER his fault? Why can't you believe DJ really is that stupid as a HC? What part of 1 winning season out of 8 don't you get? Last off season, you were trying to sell the upcoming season as "the season", because Jauron finally got "his" QB. Now, this upcoming season is going to be "the season" because his QB is entering his 3rd year. When DJ fails again this year, are you going to claim the decision to start TE did NOT originate from DJ?

It only took DJ 8 years (as a HC) to figure out his game and time management abilities suck. It should take another 8 years for him to figure out how to correct it. Gotta have patience. It's all about the continuity.

I disagree. GW first year team was severely hampered by salary cap constraints. And under Mularkey, the Bills have produced their only season this decade. Three years of Jauron, and the only thing to show for it is "excuses" of why he was unable to produce a winner. Nobody has yet to prove Jauron is even capable of being able to produce a winner. This is true. I also realize they are not going to change their minds now. That still does not mean I have to like the decision, nor does it mean I should start drinking the yellow colored "Kool-Aid" just because some people want to believe it tastes just like "Lemonade with a twist". What proof do you have Jauron can succeed with a "good team"? How do you know the Bills are NOT a "good" team? After watching the Bills the past two years, how can you NOT determine coaching is having a serious negative impact on this team? What has he done over the past few years that were good?

By their 8th years, both Cowher and Fisher had made an appearance in the SB, and produced multiple winning seasons. After 8 years, Dick "Numb Nuts" Jauron is still trying to prove his only winning season wasn't a fluke. Actually, it is well established DJ has significant control over the personnel decisions. Three years later, this team still has little talent, and somehow it's not the fault of the guy who has control over personnel.

This is where you are wrong. I do NOT want the Bills to crap out. Apparently, YOU DO. You got exactly what you wanted. The Bills retained a proven loser of a HC. You should be elated. Did you jump for joy, pump your fist, and scream "Go Bills!!" when you heard the Bills were keeping DJ? I bet you did. It's all about the continuity. Screw results. Who was the moron that named McNown, a rookie QB, his starter, even though the player was not even signed yet? But continue making excuses for the moron.

You Jauron apologists still do not get it. It will not matter how much talent the Bills acquire, it will never be enough to overcome the piss poor coaching. It's like trying to pound a square peg through a round hole. And when it fails, people like you think the way to solve the problem is to get a bigger square peg. Screw changing the hole the peg has to fit through. It's all about continuity, even when the continuity has been proven to be a complete and utter loser.

Yep. The inability to move and think.

There is no "magic" coach. Just incompetent and competent ones. Incompetent coaches accept players like Kelsay and Preston. Competent ones do not. The argument of "Nobody in the NFL wants to move to or play in Buffalo" is BS. Buffalo is 1 of 32 opportunities to play in the NFL + a salary cap that makes it impossible for wealthier teams to stockpile players = players and coaches will come to Buffalo. Otherwise, they will not be part of the NFL.

The fact you readily admit your post deals with the RESULT reveals a flaw in your theory. You make a valid correlation between wins/losses and QB production, but your "facts" provide zero causation. Results only tell you what happened, and not how they happened. The biggest reason the Bills are 7-9 the past three seasons is because of DJ. How many times during this past season did you hear/read the comments of players stating they were not properly prepared? How many times during this past season did you watch the Bills coaching staff get out coached by the other team? How many times during this past season did you see the Bills coaching staff looking/acting confused by a given situation? I hate to break the news to you, but those problems are not caused by poor QB play. Those problems cause your QB to play poorly. Get rid of the incompetent DJ, and hire a competent HC. Then watch all the bs problems go away.

It's hard to do chores.

The Bills may be a young team, but that rationale is growing old quickly. The Dolphins were younger than the Bills this year, played what turned out to be a "tougher" schedule than the Bills, and the Phins won the division within one year of "blowing it up ". Three years later, we fans are still "hoping" that with just the right off season moves, and another year of experience, our players will somehow overcome the inept coaching they are saddled with, and provide us with a winning season.

On what? Whether people disagree with you or not? I do not know if you would like the results of that poll ...

Based on his (Flutie's) play over that season, I think MOST people would disagree with you.

No, the Bills were actually worried about continuity when Levy took over. In fact, that was the reason Levy wanted to RETAIN Mularkey, but Mularkey resigned. Levy then turned around and hired douche bag Jauron, who decided he wanted to run the Tampax 2 defense, and that abortion of an offense. The FO 'blew up' the team to accommodate a lifeless scum sucking POS loser of a HC.

The sad part is the Big East already has a school in place that plays football but chooses not to as a part of the Big East; Notre Dame. The conference needs to grow a set, and tell ND to play FB as a part of the Big East conference, or leave the conference all together.

1. Early 40's, been a fan for 30 years. 2. Outlook - seriously pessimistic. Wilson is not the best owner in the NFL. However, as long he recognized crap and was willing to make changes in an effort to improve, I was able to stomach the mediocrity, and approached every season with optimism. But after the 2007 season, that all changed. It was apparent Jauron learned little to nothing from his first stint as a HC, and he was following the same template that caused him to fail in Chicago. IMHO, I have no idea how anybody can believe Jauron will lead this team to anything but a losing season especially after viewing this past season.

Yeah, that's it. The only problem with this team was "bad luck". Amazing how "bad luck" just follows Dick 'Kotite' Jauron around. Still simple enough. Get rid of Jauron, and get rid of the "bad luck".

The other assumption you make is they would be starting someplace else, or get stuck with a coach they do not like. As "crappy" as Buffalo is as place to live and work, it is still one of only 32 situations in the USA where an athlete can play in the NFL.

Unfortunately, unless Jauron figures out how to an NFL HC, next year at this time we will be doing the same thing.

Hell no. That's because I truly believe Jauron is incapable of properly dissecting and analyzing a problem. He seems to coach from an X and O, percentages, and tendency perspective. But he does not fully understand how those percentages are created, and how they can be interpreted, and used.

Well, there is that fantasy of 'what if' as in 'what if the Bills had a real HC'.

Greer will be gone, and Simpson has proven he's not a starter. Expect at least one premium draft pick and possible one or two others on the second day wasted on selecting DB's.

FYI: The Bills were 6th youngest. There was a link to an article posted in another thread. Miami is younger. Also, why d you think there is a better chance of success in staying with Jauron as opposed to selecting a new coach? Jauron has well proven he is nothing but a loser. IMO, the Bills would have had better chance of success with a new a coach than sticking with the loser.
