Cynical

Dick Jauron?

Almost as good as that Texas HS comeback game from the early 90's: Linky That's a heart breaker.

You referenced "any local Buffalo area bar". Obviously, you haven't been to "any local Buffalo area bar" in quite awhile. In a more "prosperous" time, I would agree with you. And while I do not agree with the sentiments of the "Bills should purposely lose to get a desired result", I do understand the concept (and pain) behind it. And I also realize that type of posting has more to do with frustration and venting than actual desire. That's part of the point. If you HAD attended any local Buffalo area bar, or even some the Bills backers bars where you live, you would see such "idiocy" exists there also. Such "idiocy" is not limited to just this board. It exists on all Bills boards, because it exists in all of Bills fan nation. It's interesting you mention the OP (BillsVet) and Biscuit in the same paragraph, considering those two do not agree on numerous issues. One of those issues is who should be able to post. And I will tell you like I would anybody else who believes a dissenting opinion should not post here: follow your own advice/suggestion. Instead of telling somebody what they should or should not do because it makes your "fan experience" more tolerable, you should make the changes to your habits that make your "fan experience" more tolerable to you. If reading someone's negative opinion bothers you that much, then don't read it. If the board has become too negative for you, go to another board. But I am afraid you will be disappointed with any board you end up choosing. When you said you don't get it. You were right. Just know, we are all Bills fans. We all want the same thing. We just do not agree on how and in what way it takes to get there.

That has more to do with Dick and the coaching staff. Kind of hard to pin that on the Modrak, Brandon, et al. IMHO, depending on who is brought in, I can see Edwards losing the job in the preseason, especially if he continued to play the same way he does now. Let's hope. It would be nice to finish the season with a winning record, and a playoff appearance.

Doubt it. Every time he gets stumped by reality and facts, he starts attacking the poster or posters. It's a C.Biscuit97 posting recipe: 1. Make up crap or at the very least, sugar coat the heck out of it 2. Have other posters call out and challenge the "facts" 3. Get passive aggressive, and start personal attacks against the poster or posters.

As BillsVet pointed out, what a typical expected response from you. Your passive aggressive responses are quite humorous. What else you got? But here's a question for you: Why don't you take your own advice/suggestions? You go find a new hobby. Shouldn't be hard. It's quite obvious "less than successful" results seem to please you.

Wow. You are quite the "Internet tough guy".

I wouldn't bet on that. Trent wasn't drafted in the first round, and is not carrying around a first rounders salary. From a financial standpoint, the FO has no incentive to "force" Trent to become the starter. Not saying Trent will be waived, but I wouldn't be surprised if the new coaching staff brings somebody in to compete with Trent for the starter's spot.

Good thing I didn't recommend "Jiggy". User #1: My dog rubs and drags his butt on the ground. Do you know what that means? User #2: Did you get Jiggy with it?

Jauron ball!!

Try shortening the name to something like "Wiggle". I can already imagine the following conversation: Web User #1: I have searched and searched, but can't seem to find the thread with the link to the weekly nfl tv broadcast coverage map. Anybody got a link to help a brotha out? Muchas gracias amigos y amigas. Web User #2: Did you wiggle it?

That's kind of a loaded question. IF (and that's a big if) JP learns and develops his game while under the tutelage of Fassel, then, yes, JP is in the better situation. If JP continues to be the same JP, then, no, he's not in a better situation. The UFL is JP's last gasp. In Trent's case, even if the Bills dump Dickie J at the end of the year, Trent is still good enough to be a back up either on this team or some other team.

Bottom line: Patriots* 25 Bills 24 Only a Jauron apologist gives a s*** about "moral" victories. Only a Jauron apologist accepts and embraces mediocrity. Only a Jauron apologist thinks it's ok for a team to not "finish". Only a Jauron apologist thinks a 7-9 record is "miraculous". Only a Bills hater would find this acceptable for the Bills to be like this.

Missed this when it was originally posted. Maybe I do not listen to the Jim Rome show. Then again, maybe I do, and even though it has nothing to do with the original intent of "War ___", I still could not resist taking a "shot" at the fan base of a hated collegiate rival.

Been a Bills fan for 30 years. Yes, I have suffered through the Stephenson/Bullough years. And upon reviewing my post, I can see how my post would be mis-construed. I should have clarified. The 2 years I am referring to is in regards to the past 10 (of the past 10, the past 2 were the most painful). But I will say this. I have always said the main difference between Bullough and Jauron is the players hated Bullough, and would purposely throw games in order to get him fired. Interestingly enough, it turns out, Jauron got his coaching start because of Bullough.

You haven't looked hard enough. Check out the pinned threads, Lori's thread regarding Bills programming. First link in the first post: Linky

Reality check: the Bills have only produced 1 winning season this decade, with the previous 2 years being some of the most painful. Nothing like watching a team of young talented players being pissed away by one of the leagues worst head coach. It's all about the "continuity". Don't you want the Bills to win? Don't you want the Bills to succeed? Don't you want the Bills to dominate their opponents, all the time, every time? If you do, how in the world do you openly accept mediocrity? Not only accept it, but root for it. Encourage it. Make excuses for it. Why do you hate the Bills that much? Did a former Bill run over your tricycle or something?

That explains a lot. No wonder he likes Dickie as the head coach of the Bills. As long as Ralph continues to keep Jauron as the head coach of the Bills, Al Davis comes across as being "sane".

Really? How long have you lived in Florida? Have you attended any Bills Backers bars to watch the game? You might want to. Just for a reality check. My guess is you will find the atmosphere a little "idiotic".

Where's the "Hitler is pissed about the Bills losing" video?

Continuity!! You'll see. Dickie just needs 5 more years of continuity, and he will produce that second winning record during a season.

You're late to the game: Linky

I read the whole post. And you made the following two claims: "Let Trent loose." and "Bill Walsh loved him." The implication being that the coaching staff is somehow "hindering" the potentially great Trentative Edwards. First, I will not disagree that coaching and play calling is having a negative impact on Edwards, but Trent needs carry some of the blame himself. IIRC, Trent has been set "loose", because he has the ability to audible. So, he's not locked into "running the play that is called". Secondly, the Bill Walsh endorsement is meaningless. Other than Steve Young, Bill Walsh has been wrong with regards to all the other QBs he has praised coming out of college (with Edwards being an Incomplete at this point). Thirdly, don't you find it "odd" how Trent has struggled again when facing a 3-4 defense, even when given the fact the Saints switched to it for this game?

Once again. A rookie Head Coach with a rookie QB is producing a better record than a Dick Jauron team. Imagine that. Let's look at a couple of last years rookie HC/rookie QB combos and see how they are doing this year: Atlanta Falcons and Baltimore Ravens Falcons are 2-1 and the Ravens are 3-0. But its all about the "continuity", right Jauron Apologists?

Bill Walsh loved a bunch of different QBs during his time. He loved such luminaries as: Joey Harrington David Carr Jake Plummer (the "next Joe Montana") And speaking of Joe Montana, Walsh never wanted him in the first place. Somebody else in the 49ers organization did, and had to convince Walsh to draft Joe. So Bill Walsh loved Trentative Edwards. Big Deal.
