"Injuries"?
How about "No excuses" after all the excuses?
He never did get to "injuries," which is shocking -- but then, it was only a 3-4 minute press conference. I guess the media is as sick of this as we are.
-
Jesus, he sounds bad.
"Gotta do a better job" - check
"Need to make plays" - check
"Young guys" - check
And hell, we're still in the first two minutes!
-
He will fire Jauron after the season. Only to replace him with Marty Mornhinweg.
As someone else pointed out the other day, Brandon won't let Jauron get fired till the end of the year, so that the firing (and hiring of Mikeggick Willarkeyron) can be used to sell tix for next year.
-
Seriously. We are the best fans in the league. Why does this happen? How? We are so bad and have been for so long. We don't deserve this. We deserve a good product, a playoff team. This is just pathetic. It's not fair.
As our dads taught us, life's not fair. It sucks, but there you go.
-
I have been saying that for two seasons ..of course I had been crucified for saying it. I am just glad the rest of you are catching up!
I don't think you've been off on your own on that one.

Oakland Raiders.
Raiders are a worse-run team, but their fans don't live under the spectre of imminent relocation like we do. We're the most hopeless organization in pro sports.
-
Sure Dick, leave Trent in there to just grind any chance of him ever having a bit of confidence to dust.
At this point, he's got the confidence of latter-day Ken O'Brien out there. He's psychologically ruined. He's been broken down like a Parris Island recruit, but Sergeant Jauron ain't gonna build him back up.
-
We need to execute better.
How'd I forget that?

If you were making up a Jauron Presser Bingo Card, what would be the words/phrases that you'd put on it?
Injuries
Try harder
Keep it close
<sigh>
Gotta do better
What else?
-
God and baby Jesus, this is absurd.
-
But it's not an exact comparison. Evans is never going to make tough catches over the middle, and Reed is never going to be a deep sideline threat.
If forced to choose, I'd take Reed over Evans any day (based on work ethic and effort). But they complement each other nicely.
Agreed. They have different roles. But it's more difficult to find people who can assume Evans' role -- that is, it's harder to find guys with serious wheels who can bust coverage and get a handle on long passes.
-
You're an idiot.
Hey, I'm not the one who just defended the idea that Josh Reed is a better WR than Lee Evans.
Carry on. We all need to work out our frustration in different ways.
-
And over the first three games, Reed leads the WRs in receptions. And makes receptions in traffic, and can take a hit, and blocks well on running plays...
By those metrics, Fine is an All-Pro.
-
I have another newsflash. Reed is better than Evans. He tries harder and makes more plays.
Evans just made a helluva catch on that drive that Reed couldn't make in his wildest dreams.
-
why does Jauron only play to win, when they have no prayer of winning?
He wasn't "playing to win" there. He was playing to "keep it close." Big difference.
-
-
Dick's gonna kick the figgie when Lynch gets stood up on third, isn't he?
-
Now why I turned around says all sorts of weird things about me, but I watched LeFevour's O-Lineman form a circle around him while he relieved himself right on the sidelines.
Nice to have privacy, even in public I suppose.
That's five layers of protection right there.

Time to move on people. Do something more productive with your three hours every Sunday in the fall. RW is without na doubt the cheapest, most football illiterate owner ever. He continue to put his control, profit and ego ahead of winning. All the talented GMs and coaches we've had were fire or quit because RW is a meddling, miserale miser.
So either pick a new team (Go Packers!!) or find another sport t cheer for. As long as this incoherent jerkoff runs this team and continues to tell us as WNYers were poor and can't support a team, he doesn't deserve our support. He's taken advantage of us as fans (I'm a season ticker holder) and us as taxpayer to turn his $25,000 investment into a multi million (hundreds of millions) windfall while complain the entire time that he can't make a go of it here. F him and his wife and daughter. Pack your gear and move this team because if this is the team you're going to field while you maximize its value to increase the sale price for your daughter so she can sell it to the higher bidder, just leave now.
RW's legacy is not an owner who kept a team here and some sort of Robin Hood, but a cheap SOB who did everything he could to maximize profit, including raping taxpayers and season ticker holders.
Here's hoping for a resolution to the ownership ASAP so we as WNY can move on, with or without this team, but MOST importantly without this curmudgeon.
Agreed with everything you say about RW, but we don't get to pick new teams unless (until?) the Bills move. Those are The Rules. This is our team, until death (and relocation is surely death of the team) do we part.
But yeah, I just want to get the ownership issue and the future of the team resolved ASAP, so that I can go forward either as a Buffalo Bills fan with renewed hope, or as a fan of any team other than the LA/Toronto/London "Bills." Because this is killing me.
-
Too true.
I cringe when I think the Bills had a chance to add Mike Peterson this offseason (who is creating all sorts of havoc in Atlanta) and they low-balled him.
And while Ralph will eventually have to can Jauron to appease the masses, he will NOT get rid of Brandon. Because Brandon has made him a lot of money. And we will not get better as a team until we have an accountable and capable GM.
-
The Bills had EVERY chance to upgrade their LBs this offseason. It falls directly on the GM.
We have a GM?
-
So true and yet so sad.
The fans alone cannot keep this team here. Thinking fans can support this team enough to keep them here post-RW is folly.
Profit margin is more important than on field success. If it wasn't true, DJ would have been fired in December.
Hell, I hope we're wrong. I hope that the Jacobs family is ready to step up and keep the team in Buffalo. God knows, the fan base has made it a profitable place to play during a decade of despair and shame -- it's not a horrible business move to keep the team in WNY. But the odds are against us in finding a local buyer, and that means there's very little hope. Because I'd bet big money that this team won't even make the playoffs, much less win a Super Bowl (or even AFC Championship), as long as RW is alive.
-
What makes this so existentially depressing is the knowledge that the team really can't get better till Ralph and his seemingly inescapable incompetence go to that Grosse Pointe in the sky -- but that once Rlaph dies, the team probably won't be Buffalo's anymore. So we're left savoring whatever crap they serve up as Bills' football -- because a 7-9 team, or even a 2-14 team, is better than no Buffalo Bills.
In other words, "wait till next year" -- the eternal cry of the fan of a losing team -- doesn't really apply to Bills fans anymore. This franchise likely won't be a contender until it plays its games somewhere other than WNY.
Gah. Time to get loaded.
-
Can't really take issue with that. Wonder who the next head coaching schlub will be?
Ex-actly. Until we have a GM who is accountable for the hiring of an HC and the talent on the field, we won't have an HC or player personnel worth discussing. As long as Brandon and Guy and everyone else can play musical chairs with blame, we will suck out loud.
I liked a lot of what I saw

Don't forget Jauron's fire and passion, even as the game slipped away. That bodes well for the rest of the year.
