Cynical

Who decided to go with that 2nd year QB as his starter? That's nice. Crowell is on IR, and has not played a regular season game this year. If you are referring to Ellison, yes, he is a back up. As for your complaint the Bills lack depth, why don't you ask yourself who is responsible for that? I'll give you a hint. His initials are DJ. DJ is not a cheerleader, but he is certainly a HC. His job description does include player motivation, which this team lacks. See above. Player motivation is the responsibility of the coaching staff. If the players do not feel compelled to go out on the field and play to their potential, it is the coaches job to figure out away to convince the players to do so.

One thing missing from that stat: the distances attempted. But if the argument is "he sucks under pressure", regardless of distance, 11 of 13 is damn good. That puts his average around 85%. Apparently, the Jauron apologists think 85% is "bad". Then again, they do think mediocrity is "good".

I am not under the impression the players decided to blitz. But I am also not under the impression the players refused to blitz in 3-4 previous games. The coaching staff did create a better game plan for this ONE game. That does release them from the responsibility of the poor game plans from the previous games, the same games you tried to pin the blame of loss on the players. This is a BS argument, and you are grasping at straws. Jauron is ONE person. He is not a modular "robot" where you can remove and replace certain parts. There is no such thng as "Jauron the GM" or "Jauron the HC" or "Jauron the game planner" or "Jauron the player prep" or "Jauron the delegator" or etc ... Those are his responsibilities. And when he is such epic failure at one of those aspects that it interferes with the rest of his responsibilities, then Dick Jauron is a failure. Any attempt to separate one aspect of him from another is nothing more than a weak attempt to "cloud" the issue. So when you note he does not have the personnel to run his system, he is at fault for that. That is one of his responsibilities. And he has had 3 off-seasons to do that. And to push the discussion further, if he does not have the personnel to run it the way he wants, he needs to flexible enough to adapt his schemes to work with what he has.

Yeah, the douche bag that hired them.

I got admit, you are consistent. For the past few weeks, people have been complaining about the lack of a pass rush, no blitzing, and crappy o-line play. And you blamed the players for the losses. Now, when the team does generate a pass rush, the team does blitz, and the -o-line did play better, you still blame the players for the loss. It's not Jauron's / coaching staff's fault the play calling was wretched at the end. It's not Jauron's / coaching staff's fault the team wasted 4 time outs because the coaching staff could not figure out what to do in time. Good luck in your fantasy world where Jauron the GM is an idiot, but Jauron the coach is the greatest coach alive.

One game != improvement, especially when that game came against an alleged inferior opponent.

And the Bills burned 4, FOUR, FOUR, FOUR, FOUR, FOUR, FOUR timeouts because the coaching staff is STILL struggling to properly prepare.

It has been the Bills biggest test now for approximately 3-4 weeks now. It's over. There is a chance could finish 8-8 or 9-7, but you can forget the playoffs. Bills will more likely finish exactly where they have been finishing at: 7-9. Tests are over. The have failed.

I'll say. We got people running around here being pissed because the Bills are being treated as one of the worst teams in the league. Time to pull some heads out of asses, the Bills are one of the worst teams in the league, and have been since the start of the decade.

SU would be lucky just to have Fulmer acknowledge their interest. Don't take that as a knock against the Cuse, fat Phil is a Tennessean to the core. I seriously think he would not entertain any coaching job outside the state of Tenn. SU would have a better chance of nabbing Tuberville from Auburn. If by some chance fat Phil did take a job outside of Tenn., he would not be successful. His heart would not be in it.

He could be playing nice, and trying not to say anything that might come across as being overly cocky.

"Abba-tutely". Early in his Buffalo News career, he wrote a column explaining who he was. IIRC, he's favorite sport is college basketball and basketball in general. I remember reading that and thinking to myself why in the world did the News hire this guy? Buffalo does not have a NBA franchise, and the two biggest sports in Buffalo are football and hockey, neither of which is this guy's forte. It made zero sense then, and it still makes zero sense now.

I was thinking more along the lines of http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zUfONVpMn4Q

What do you mean they do not have every genre? Can't you listen to Area 38? Isn't it similar?

So much to offer, and so focused on one format. You are right. They are the same.

If you think this is bad, you should have tried living through the 2-14 years. Since I refused to "renounce" my fanship then, I sure as hell will not renounce it now. Somebody else posted earlier they would give up their fanship when they died. I will extend that thought with: "Or the day the Bills leave Buffalo for good."

The same way 24% of the population still thinks W is doing a good job. They DON'T think.

That's unfortunate you think that way. If it was true, then I suppose you would have no problem providing the call letters of the station in your area that play the following formats: Country and Western (this should be an easy one) Rock (another easy one) Top 40 (even people living in east podunk have one of these nearby) HipHop/Rap (while very popular, still does not saturate the airwaves like the previous three) Bluegrass (not to be confused with country and western) Metal/Industrial (not to be confused with rock) R&B (no, not the same as rap) Jazz/Skat (the hardcore stuff, not for the timid) Smooth jazz (for the timid jazz fan) Blues (not r&b) Good luck finding one that plays these next ones NFL Network Comedy Howard Stern Playboy/adult Maybe you should try listening to more than one station. Or you could try hooking up with Claude and Veter (sp?).

I remember at the end of last season people complaining we needed a pass rusher. And everybody got excited when they drafted Ellis. Are you ready to write him off? As for O-Line, other than C, this was supposed to be a unit of strength going into this season. Heck, right before the season started, somebody started a thread stating we needed to give the O-Line a freaking nickname before the national media did! Here's one of my problems. Not only do they have to go back and attempt to fix something they supposedly already took care of (bringing into question their competency in assessing talent), but they will create new holes that will have to be fixed. Look at this past off-season. Other than Hardy and Ellis, what other draft picks did the Bills make to feel a critical need? Did they draft a center? No. I saw the Bills drafting a bunch of potential special teamers, because they decided to let a bunch of their veteran ones go. So now, instead of experienced veteran depth, they are stuck with rookie depth that will take a couple of years to determine if they will pan out. Those that don't, more holes to fill.

I was like you at one time. Then I went on a trip with somebody who had it, and that's all it took for me. I'll never go back to terrestrial radio. It cannot match the musical selection and diversity of sat. I think I have listened to every station offered at one time or another, and found myself listening to stuff I would have never thought of. Stuff like radio classics. Original broadcasts of radio shows like The Shadow and X-Minus 1.

I have not tried to stop you from enjoying the Bills wins. Enjoy them to your hearts content. Even the delusional desire a reality where "events" took place based a on a criteria of hope and "happy thoughts".

Don't you know? All wins are a testament to the great coaching of this young, rookie like, inexperienced, still learning how to win (did I say young yet?) team. As our great HC has said, it is hard to win in the NFL. All loses are flukes. If it wasn't for the other teams showing up, the Bills would be 9-0 right now, and in command of first place!

And you know this for a fact how? Getting a proven winning HC might be hard, but there is no shortage of assistant coaches willing to take a stab at being a HC. If you doubt me, ask yourself how does/did teams like the Bengals, Lions, and now Raiders keep finding somebody to be a HC? (And no, I am NOT saying they all were good choices) And no, Jauron is NOT better than the other guys, not unless your goal is to be consistently mediocre, which Jauron does seem to excel at.

Oh my God. The apologists are getting desperate to excuse away Jauron's poor performance. So how do you account for the complaints against Jauron during the 2007 season when the Bills still had a SINGLE "face" in the FO known as Levy?

Yeah, but in choosing his examples, he chooses to ignore the obvious. It is interesting how he has Bill Parcells listed more than once. Yet, nobody really questions if Parcells is, was, or would be a good coach. The Bills are Jauron's second stop. Does he list Jauron twice? Of course not. You want to know what Jauron's record in Chicago was after 41 games? 18-23. This stat is far more relevant than any comparison to any other coach. That's because it is a a direct reflection of our present HC. And how did his tenure in Chicago work out?
