Sweet. I hope dick Jauron stays on too. More 7-9 seasons baby!
That 11th to the 14th pick in the draft every year is the prime spot to select impact DBs!!!

Agreed...
And I think based on where this Team was 3 Years ago, Jauron may have been just about as good as any HC coming into the situation He did...Then going through the injuries last Season, etc...He served His purpose no question...The Bills are FAR better off then they were 3 Years ago...In fact they are probably a bit ahead of where they should be...With the right HC this Year I think the Bills would be a minimum 9-3 right now...
The Bills need a Field General...A Coach that, on any given Sunday, can out-smart the opposition...A Coach that understands when He hires an OC, or when He tells His Scouts what the Team is looking for, that this Team Plays in Buffalo NY...And in order to Win consistantly this Team needs to be a dominant Running Offense...This Team needs to be physical, and this Team needs to be able to take advantage of a Home Field that can be a nightmare for opponents to come in to with the right mind set and Team design...
But anyway...No question Jauron did not destroy The Bills...He simply is not the right Man to take the next step...He can't match wits with the better NFL Coaches...He did the best he could...Now it's time to get the right Guy for the next step...
So in other words, you want Pittsburgh's coaching staff?

Thanks for the reply. I'm an odd bird that likes to hear about the goings-on in that free Nation with its' huge economy North of me.
I was a Mulroney man...
Mulroney?!? I thought we could be friends Cincy...
Myself, even though I was a very young, still find myself captivated by Pierre Trudeau. He was the only PM we ever had that had the cajones to govern as he saw best for Canada - right or wrong - the man stuck to his principals. I'll always love his answer to a reporter questioning his response to domestic terrorrism (the PLQ attacks) "How far will you take this?"
"Just watch me."
BALLS.

Never say the Bills don't care about their fans. I just got a phone call from the ticket office saying they appreciate their season ticket holders and wished me a Merry Christmas. Now I feel much better.
PTR
Did you tell them that if they really wanted to wish you a "Merry" Christmas that they would actually do something about the current downward spiral of this once-proud franchise?
-
Typical "needy" Bills fan. What do you know.
Thank goodness that guy with a PHD in Pittsburgh put us all in our place!

The ultimate steroid warrior and Rowdy Roddy Piper. anybody remember George the Animal Steele?
Interesting story of the Hot Rod. He got his name from his time growing up in Winnipeg, Canada. His highschool football team was the John Taylor Collegiate Pipers and he also played on the Winnipeg Minor Football team the Winnipeg Rods.
hence.....Roddy Piper. Cue "more you know music from NBC"....

Who knows? I see Harper just got usurped...
http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/World/R...how/3782681.cms
This coalition government we might have (and don't get me started on what a fiasco our ENTIRE government is...right now I'm praying for a military coup....) is actually more PRO-CFL than the current government. Harper didn't seem to be too concerned with the league but the Liberals are strong bedfellows with many of the CFL owners. This coalition actually hurts the Bills chances of moving to Toronto even further.
And I wouldn't have it any other way...

Personally, I take his time in Chicago with a grain of salt. Different conference, different era, different set of circumstances that created the job opening, etc. I'll except that the information regarding his time in Chicago now supplemented by his time in Buffalo will indicate that he's not YET a HOF caliber coach. He may never be, but only time will tell. HOWEVER- popular these days is this knee jerk, un-qualified declaration "if Chicago, then Buffalo," and I honestly don't think there's any here among us well educated enough to make that claim.
The only reason I harp on it is because people like to use this rationale to justify the idea that since Buffalo has had three tough to pin down, mediocre seasons, all just a few bounces from 11-5 as much as they were a couple of bounces from 5-11, then the only other information we have to evaluate the guy is his RECORD in Chicago. Doing so, IMO doesn't take into account the personnel tools or week to week match ups and outcomes of those years OR the years since he's been in Buffalo.
And again, you've cited TWO game day scenarios while listing three to determine he's a crappy coach. "Poor" is relative to perspective. I've had this conversation three times since Sunday and in regards to his "poor" play calling, the only thing he's consistently been in inconsistent. There are just as many instances where fans were screaming for the pass as there were instances where they were screaming for the run during plays in the red zone.
As for clock management, you're not going to convince me that this a non-trivial issue because a.) it's peanuts compared to all the other factors that go in to a coach's duties, assuming all the TO's can be accredited to him, and only him anyways and b.) in THREE seasons, may be, MAY BE two games have come down to us not having enough time outs. I'm sorry, but that's fact.
Is your last name Jauron? Because how do you not see what a MAJORITY of "needy fans", the media and other teams around the league see about Dick Jauron?
He is a career loser with one anomaly of a season which he followed by proceeding to lose his job two seasons later. You can defend him until you are blue in the face but Dick Jauron will NEVER (and this I am 100% certain) lead the Buffalo Bills to a Super Bowl. And as fans, if we expect any less from this franchise every year, then we are doing a disservice to the city of Buffalo.
You may have accepted mediocrity but I for one will never, ever expect my Bills to be bad.
-
Could you please me more specific about "horrible preparation?" Seems to me our defense was pretty well prepared on Sunday AND against the Browns. Two games that should have put us at 8-4 and first in the division. Seems to me that preparation was not an issue in either of those games.
And how well prepared was the offense? And how energetic did the team seem in both those games? You'd have to blind to not notice how lethargic and listless the team looked coming out of the gates.
Whether you want to admit it or not, Jauron is losing this team in the locker room. Josh Reed was on AChannel in Toronto to promote the game last night. He was asked point blank: "Are you prepared for games?" and Josh paused...stuttered and responded with: "It just seems lately that we aren't ready for the other team and they seem more ready for us." and then he backtracked when the reporter dug further and mumbled something about the players getting ready during practice...
-
I agree with you. The Bills have to finish the season with an attitude that they will win out, and the rest is history or out of their hands.
As always I will be watching and cheering throwing stuff at my TV, pulling my hair out, and wondering why I do this to myself every week...
FIXED!

These athletes in this modern day are a bunch of wimps........too many perks if you ask me. Heated benches to sit on and for your helmets to get warm along with your feet.......guys coming off the field have jackets put on them by another person, I mean hell guys cant even squirt water in their mouths someone has to do it for them....
Marshawn is the only guy who doesn't wear a jacket...of course other than JP, he's the only other player that's really embraced being from Buffalo. The kid from Cali is BUILT to play in this weather and he knows it. He thrives in it. He was having a blast out there on Sunday and our IDIOT COACHES decided to reign him in instead of letting him go yayo on the 49ers in the 4th quarter.
DJ: "Hey guys, I hear Marshawn is averaging over 8 yards a carry in the 2nd and 3rd quarter...think we should keep running it?"
Turk: "Are you kidding me? They have weak pass defense, let's go aerial with a cold QB who hasn't taken snaps since the Arizona game! WOOO! I'm a genius! I'm so creative!!"
DJ: "Good call Turk, it's decisions like this that make me proud that I promoted you after the unfortunate leaving of the greatest offensive mind I've ever met...Steve Fairchild. I asked Ralph the fold the team when he left, didn't think there was a reason to go on anymore...then you came along."
-
56-73....that speaks for itself....It really sucks that we have to go through the hiring of another head coach, but what other option do we have?
We are really starting to look and feel like the Cardinals franchise.....UGH!
Except the Cardinals are actually going to the playoffs because they TOOK ADVANTAGE OF A WEAKENED DIVISION AND LIGHTER SCHEDULE!!!!
Unlike our merry band of tards that pissed it all away thru BAD COACHING and HORRIBLE PREPARATION.
-
Do you think he is a glove wearing Mary?
Save for Marshawn and Freddie...they're ALL Glove Wearing Mary's.......
Am I the only one who thinks Marshawn actually has FUN in cold weather. He never wore a jacket, was bopping around like he was in a winter wonderland....we need 52 players built like him. Not like the rest of these gutless p***ies.

There are other billionaires in Canada who could easily buy the team and move them to Toronto. Hell, there are billionaires in America who could do the same thing.
But what set Rogers apart, in a way, was his willingness to assume the risk of pissing off MANY Canadian politicians and citizens by bringing the NFL to Toronto and all but putting the CFL on death row.
Maybe some of the Canadians on the board could comment on what actually went down when the series was first announced and it became apparent Rogers might have his eyes on the Bills for Toronto permanently...
From the Canadian point of view, all I can say is that Rogers faced a very up-hill battle to get an NFL team into Canada. The CFL were ready to lobby the government to keep the NFL out of Canada for fear it would destroy its league and the government seemed to acquiesce. On top of that, there was the fan backlash that came with the over-inflated ticket prices and the feeling that the NFL experience in Canada will be 'sanitized' (there is no tailgating allowed in Canada....it's terrible).
Will the Bills move to Toronto? Hopefully not, but if they want to get them there, it's going to be very hard for them to do so because of the government interference. Rogers did seem like the only guy who didn't give a hoot what the rest of Canada thought of him.

Time to fire Del Rio?
Obviously not, he yells and parades around the sidelines like an idiot to motivate his players.
When you're run game is averaging 2.3 yards a carry up until that point and the last time you were down there you got stuffed on the 1 with three consecutive runs, then YES YOU PASS. But hey, don't let logic get in the way of your inexplicable man-love for Dick Jauron and his coaching incompetence.
-
So, in other words, Jauron is playing bball in the driveway with his next door neighbor who has down syndrome, and he's keeping it close to keep it fun?
Come on, seriously? Why would ANYONE in their right mind approach a serious competition this way?
I dunno, why don't you ask Dick for us when he comes to speak at your next fan club meeting?
-
Well, we're clearly not going to agree, yes we can stop.
I guess it's no use since you know more about a guy's coaching ability than all the players who have played for him, all the coaches who have coached with him, and anyone else he's worked with during his 23 year coaching career.
As for the groin injury, I don't know what to believe. To my knowledge this isn't the first time Jauron's yanked a QB during a game. Each time I remember it happening before he was very honest about needing to try something new. I don't know why he'd start pussing out now. Calling the injury "phantom" is based on a singular comment from Josh Reed. Calling it real is based on watching Trent throw 2 yard passes to receivers 8 yards away.
How sad is it that with an injured groin, Trent couldn't throw the ball (didn't know the groin was connected to his arm...) yet Big Ben is still throwing 30 yard strikes with a separated shoulder.....?
And you didn't answer my question, with Jeff Fisher as coach of the Bills, would the team be 6-6 right now?
-
No, that's a good assessment. We should get quotes from his players in Chicago. Anyone?
I've got a friend who plays in Chicago and played one season under Jauron. Thought he was a nice guy but didn't help the team enough to win big games. Said it was night and day between him and Lovie.
-
We've lost three games this year that we had no business losing: Miami (monumental collapse to end the game), Cleveland, and yesterday. The collapse in the Miami game and the latter two were HANDS DOWN Trent's worst performances of the year. We're not talking bad, we're talking HURRENDOUS. We're talking a fumble, a safety, and five interceptions in 9 quarters. And STILL, in each of those three games, we were in a position to win. Seems to me that our second year quarterback (for whom I still have patience) is much more to blame for our 6-6 record than the coaches.
Honestly BC, can you tell me with a straight face that a coach like Jeff Fisher would have his team as ill-prepared for games as Dick has? That he wouldn't be able to sit a player like Trent down and get him back to an expected level of performance that Dick hasn't been able to?
I just can't see how you don't think the failure of this franchise isn't at the feet of the coaches.
-
I understand that we are in for at least two more years of rebuilding if the reset button is pushed again. This is the difficulty in the current situation. At the same time, look at the rapid improvement of the fins.
The Atlanta Falcons and Miami Dolphins would like to disagree with this statement.
In today's NFL with drafting and free agency, it takes absolute front office incompetence to not be able to create a playoff-calibre franchise in less than two years. Only in Buffalo do some fans feel that a 10-15 year rebuilding process is the "norm".
F#CK Jauron, F#CK our entire front office. We're going on 9+ years of NO PLAYOFFS. Where is the accountability to the fans? Where?!?!
-
Do you have any observations or insights into how this is not true? I mean really, I'd love to hear it.
Come on reddog, it's well known around the NFL that Dick is a go-for-the-jugular coach! I mean, think of all the blowouts the Bills have had against teams (especially the bad ones).....
...there was that game against KC and....umm....did JP help us beat Cincy once...? I can't remember...
-
How could anyone who's watched this team play for the last month want the dome opened?
I believe it's the same contingent of people who believe Dick Jauron is a good head coach and provides "stability" to the franchise.....
-
I agree, let's freeze those B'tards. At least it will seem like a true home then. Those sun lovers should get a taste of The Great White North! Hell Yeah
Yes...this would be a great idea....considering our California QBs wilt at the sign of a snowflake and our idiot coaching staff likes to keep the ball out of the hands of our bruisin' MADE FOR THE ELEMENTS running back.
No offense guys, but if they opened the dome, the Bills would be kept to 3 points again. Advantage: Dolphins.
-
I feel bad for Lee Evans for signing that contract extension, he deserves so much better then the Bills. Just another great player going down the crapper as they play their career under Ralph Wilson & the Buffalo Bills.
See: Moulds, Eric. By the time Lee can leave Buffalo, he'll be past his prime and only a team like Houston will take him on.
I feel bad for the players on this team. They try hard but are under-prepared and ill-prepared by the coaching staff. Now they are starting to figure it out that the coaching is letting them down.
