"We practiced really hard and it seemed to work on Friday...we just didn't execute."

When the team gives them something to be positive about, then things will change. 2-8 over their last 10 games and an 0-3 start to the pre-season where the starters and the Chosen One Trent Edwards haven't scored an offensive touchdown yet (just think about the futility of that for just one moment...) and you'll see why nobody hear is farting rainbows and p*ssing sunshine.

Somebody try to make this guy our head coach PLEASE!

http://sports.espn.go.com/espn/page2/story...mp;sportCat=nfl My personal favorite line was: "Jauron never seems upset, or even to care -- he just jogs off the field, then makes excuses."

This is the same group of people who kept saying: "Relax! It's just x loss, we're still 5-x and we're still in a postion for the playoffs! What's wrong with you people?!?!" When the rest of us saw the team imploding.. *where x = 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, etc.

Coaching scared is Dick's modus operandi isn't it?

Bingo. In passionate sports towns, the absolute last thing you want to do is p*ss off an influential member of the media. That person can turn the tide of popular opinion against you so fast, you'll be begging for a contract release. Edwards should have taken the high road, instead he's following to a tee JP Losman's Guide to Getting Run Out of the NFL™. 1) Quietly call out coaches 2) Openly challenge the media 3) Play in the UFL. As much as many of us want to see Trent succeed, his play over the final games last year (the ones JP didn't start) in combination with a very lack-lustre preseason has many of us wondering if this is just another RJ, JP, incarnation but with a little more smarts and a weaker arm.

Scott Pioli left a perennial Super Bowl contender in the Pats to lead the "also-ran" KC Chiefs. Never underestimate a man's ego and will to be the "saviour" of a franchise. I think if the package was right, a competent GM or assistant GM could be lured here with money and the belief that they could be the hero of the city and toast of the town if they righted a drifting ship.

I'm sure Ralph has got Fassel on his short list of replacements for Dick Jauron....

Is this assurance on the same level as his guarantee of playoffs last year? If so, we're screwed.

Practice?

This post was poorly worded. You should have asked: "How many wins into the season will it take before you believe they're a legitimate contender?" I know many after the 5-1 start still questioned the legitimacy of that record. Sadly, Jauron's ineptitude in combination with the decline in Trent's play led to a disasterous 2-8 finish. Using the phrase "bandwagon" refers to fandom. And if you're on this message board and stuck with this team for at least the last 10 years, you've proven your mettle as a fan, because unless you're also an S&M freak, being a fan and hoping for a return to the glory days is the only reason you'd stick with this mess this long.

You best not be taking a shot at the "Chroisen One" with these remarks, sir!

Except for that whole "winning" thing Marv was able to do....

5-11, with 3 of those wins coming from intern head coach Bobby April.

Graham Harrell was actually signed and is playing as the back-up QB for the Saskatchewan Roughriders. We'd have to wait until October before the Bills could sign him as per the CFL-NFL agreement.

Color me concerned....I want more than anything for Trent to be successful and put a stop to the revolving door that is Bills Starting QB but his work in the preseason, in combination with his play down the stretch last year, Jauron coaching him, and essentially a rookie O-Line.....he just has a lot working against him. Yes, it's ONLY pre-season, but when your starting group hasn't thrown one touchdown yet in 4 games....time to get worried.

Probably referring to this:

I cannot understand the "hate" against this guy. He does work for charity, makes himself accessible to all his fans (who love the guy), and despite having a dispute about his contract, still showed up for work. He may be flashy but he really cares about his teammates. Locker room "cancer" he is not. I always remember the story about the Bengals first playoff game in years and how he went out amongst the early tailgaters with Bengals gear HE PURCHASED to hand out to them to thank them for sticking with the team.

It's the sad state of media...I work for UBM / EETimes and though I was initially hired to just write technical articles on the components of consumer electronics, I now have to manage the video content, be a webmaster for multiple sites, act as an editor for contributed pieces, etc. etc. etc. And I'm STILL expected to write and TWEET (even though I find the whole thing stupid) to an audience.... I'm often wondering if working in media was a terrible idea...

Because he's one strike away from being permanently shown the door by Goodell. We already have a one-and-a-half striker (Marshawn) on the team to keep an eye on. We don't need two.

Hey guys! Have you seen the Hitler-T.O. video?

I dunno...I'm pretty sure my dad can still kick my @ss.....

I love it! So who's going to organize the "He's FINALLY gone" party at Ralph Wilson when (not if...sorry optimists) DJ finally gets the boot?

The guy who runs this site goes by the name JC and he's got a rumour mill average of about 75% when it comes to the Sens. He broke the news of the Kovalev signing almost 3 hours before the mainstream media picked it up, he broke the Vermette for Leclaire trade and he's always the first to announce internal contract signing extensions. This guy has got some sources inside the organization (if he doesn't work there himself). He reported the first SJ deal of Erhoff, Cheechoo and a 1st for Heatley that he mainstream media picked up a week later. Good chance that he's right here too. I had heard thru the grapevine that the Sabres were trying to sign Zherdev but once he made it clear he was heading back to Russia, Heatley became their plan "B". As for the trade, I'd make that deal in a minute. Roy is a local boy from Gatineau, Paille is solid and Myers, if he fills out, could be the Canadian Chara....I just can't see why Buffalo would give him up and not Cassian or their 1st next year instead. You build around Myers.
