I vote for Marty Schottenheimer, but would he even consider the position?

Well, there was a day when something like that would have been in the budget. However, given the economy such as it is and given that they probably can't even afford to send a reporter to Washington, DC to get quotes that really matter, I'm sure they won't bother with sports -- and probably shouldn't.

Yes, very odd thing to say. I wonder if it is some sort of a reference to his own health as in he doesn't know how much longer he'll have the capacity to follow the team, make decisions, etc. Hard to say what he meant.

Oh, that would mean they would have to actually pick up a telephone or, gasp, get on a flight to Detroit. That would be real journalism and we can't have any of that. So, we'll just continue to get the regurgitations of the press conferences.

There's Marty Schottenheimer. Is he a realistic possibility? OK, so the guy can't reach the Super Bowl, but he can at least get us back to the playoffs.

I have also been a fan for 40 years now, but I find myself more-and-more detached from this team. I honestly hope they don't win another game this season to absolutely ensure that the entire organization gets blown up. Winners get the boot (Polian, Saban). Losers get their contracts extended. It really comes down to Ralph. I truly believe Ralph WANTS to field a winning team, but that he is just incapable of it.

This is true. I don't know who on the current staff could step up and really do a good job. And if we go outside of the organization, then this season is also pretty much lost. Having said that, Jauron still needs to be gone by tomorrow morning. If it is already a given that the season is shot, I'd much rather see how an interim coach fares or even a permanent hire from outside rather than watch Jauron ride out this season.

I know the game is about winning, team, etc., but how in the world could Edwards not even KNOW about TO's 185-game streak with at least 1 catch? Did it not come up ONCE in a conversation or an interview at ANY point between TO's signing and last week's game? I just find that incredible. And I'm not saying TO's records SHOULD be Trent's focus because it shouldn't be, but I just find it amazing that he wasn't even aware of the streak. Maybe Trent NEEDS to become a bit more of a football fan.

Agree. Buffalo may not win another game until a change is made at HC.

wow -- onsides! How the hell did Miami muscle the ball back.

Perhaps you are right in this case.

It's for 6 points -- of course they have to challenge. Now, DICK might not challenge, but any other coach in the league is intelligent enough to challenge the call.

I have to say that I hope TO absolutely RIPS whoever needs to be ripped. Go for it TO -- the truth hurts, but SOMEONE has got to say it - may as well be you.

Hey, where are all the idiots crying about our ESPN power ranking a couple of weeks ago?!! LOL They don't get it that WINNING GAMES actually plays a role in the rankings.

Oh, come on now - the defense is not getting it done today. Other teams have injuries, too. That is a cop out. Your points are understood, but cannot be an excuse.

Dear Ralph: It is time to replace the head coach. This team cannot win under Jauron's leadership. The HC must be replaced immediately. Will it save the season? Who can know, but we do know that the status quo isn't going to get it done. Be bold and do what needs to be done. There's still enough talent on this team to be a playoff contender if a fire is lit under them. As is stands now, losing has become an acceptable outcome because the team's HC permits this attitude. Losing time and time again is UNACCEPTABLE.

agree that he has been a huge disappointment this year.

Yep.

Nice hit by Byrd!

ok, good point, but one difference is that Miami is young and improving. I think the Titans may have peaked last season and are on a bit of a decline.

Last year's division champs to go 0-4? Not going to happen.

Agree that Buffalo will not beat Miami, but I do believe we'll beat them at home later this season. Miami won the division last year and really turned things around. No way they go 0-4. Buffalo, on the other hand, is feeling shell-shocked and has lost confidence in themselves. The return of the Bickering Bills is about to start. I'm not giving up on this season completely, but Buffalo will not win Sunday. The supposed leaders (e.g. Edwards) need to lead and WIN. Until they do that against a division opponent, the Bills cannot be taken seriously. Also, if the Bills lose Sunday, I wouldn't give Jauron any more than a week. I think it may be time to pull the trigger.

OK, theoretically, the silver lining to injuries is that you get a chance to develop your depth. Yet, here are the Buffalo Bills -- 3 straight years of ridiculous number of injuries -- where's that depth that has been developed over the past couple of years?

Oh, that would be situational thinking -- can't have any of that around here ya know.
