This board has become incredibly negative its not even fun to read anymore
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!

My personal favorite line was:
"Jauron never seems upset, or even to care -- he just jogs off the field, then makes excuses."

What you mis is that this preseason is a direct reflection of all the Jauron years and a continuation of 9 years of mediocre at best teams? Perhaps some new light will shine when the real season starts but tell me what you have seen so far that indicates this will happen. Same coaches, same offense and same pathetic results on the field. These are not the Kelly years where the Bills could coast through the preseason and then kick it up twenty notches when the games counted.
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.

Thats just stupid. We struggled so much against it last year, we need to practice executing a gameplan. You can't play or coach a certain way because you are scared of what someone else might do about it. We should be practicing a plan during the pre season, not holding it back and hoping it works on sept. 14
Coaching scared is Dick's modus operandi isn't it?

And the cycle turns, as we're less than two years removed from "you're the expert buddy" reply to Sully.
Edwards, the next ex-Bill whose professional obit was presaged by Sullivan?
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.

That is a nice fantasy, but no amount of money is going to get Ozzie to leave the Ravens, an organization with a perennial contender to the Bills, perennial also rans. He has been in that organization for about 25-30 years.
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.

Anyone with even a spec of common sense or intelligence would know that any quarterback would rather be in the NFL playing for anyone compared to playing in another startup league that doesn't even if or how they will operate, even if it is with a good coach. And if Fassel is that great of a coach, why hasn't anyone hired him the last few years?
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.

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.

Please no. If Fitz were to play the season in buffalo as the starter, we'd score less than 200 points on the season. The guy's garbage and nothing better than a clipboard holding 3rd stringer.
You best not be taking a shot at the "Chroisen One" with these remarks, sir!

They took marv's advise with DJ. He is a verbal clone to marv
Except for that whole "winning" thing Marv was able to do....
-
7-9?
5-11, with 3 of those wins coming from intern head coach Bobby April.
-
So I consider myself immune from your first two bullets, and in full agreement with the last two. Now, if only we could sign Graham Harrell to back up Fitzpatrick...
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.

A guy at work told me he actually put on shoulder pads and a helmet for some TV show, but had hands of stone and couldn't get his head around and find the ball while wearing a helmet. That being said, my co-worker's an idiot, so who knows.
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.

Couldn't agree with you more. For the last year or so, the "journalism topics" board on the sportswriting website I hang out at has read like the obituary page -- layoffs here, buyouts there, furloughs everywhere. (Not that this is confined to print media; just about everybody's hurting right now. It's just more obvious when familiar names and faces disappear from the local paper or TV station than when yet another factory padlocks its doors.)
And don't get me started on how they kicked Scott Pitoniak to the curb.
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...
-
Insightful. Any reason you wouldn't want one of the top young receivers in the league here?
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.
-
Yeah SDS, I'm sure all of the articles on the front page are your fault because they don't mention Maybin enough.
If they want more Maybin coverage then they can find it here. That has all the Maybin coverage anyone can find!!
Hey guys! Have you seen the Hitler-T.O. video?

True, very true. Most 20 yr old guys could rough up a 60+ yr old man though...even Kane. It's not like the cabbie was Mickey Rourke or something?!?!
I dunno...I'm pretty sure my dad can still kick my @ss.....

"Obviously an interesting day, quote-wise. I thought I sounded good, certainly you always want to make sense, but I didn't and that's probably my fault. I've just got to do a better job preparing for the interview. I'm not sure what happened on that fake-punt quote, there was some confusion there. The good news is there are a lot of questions left. Its hard to speak in the NFL."
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?

Interesting blurb from a Senators propaganda state run rumor site. How reliable slash accurate this may be is up for debate. But the ALLEGED offer REPORTEDLY to exist MAY or MAY NOT involve the Sabres. Im over-qualifying so it doesn't look like I know for sure this is true.
"It sounds like the Buffalo Sabres may have tabled the best offer throughout all of this but its highly unlikely Dany would accept a move to Buffalo. It certainly would do wonders for the Senators/Sabres rivalry that's for sure. But like many of you have pointed out Buffalo is sort of the Edmonton of the Eastern Conference and not exactly an attractive place to play.
Their offer apparently included Derek Roy, Dan Paille and Tyler Myers. That is just a rumour at this point but that sounds like a heck of an offer to me."
Interesting. I wouldn't do it. But that is a very fair offer for Heatley. I know the Sabres brass are really high on Myers from everything I've read/heard on XM/WGR. So, its certainly something to think about.
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.
Folks, it's PRESEASON
