So true, it's as if these people like to pretend that Jauron's Bears years never existed. This undying support for him is very weird. I think that they're simply in shock and have yet to gain their senses.
It's like battered-wife syndrome with some Bills fans....we've been beaten down so badly emotionally by this team that any sign of success (5-1 start) is held onto as the hope that those days will return. Even though the jerk (0-4) keeps hurting us, they keep believing he can change into the way things were.

I agree but he was really good in the Charger game, and he was fearless in the face of a pass rush. I don't know anything about concussions, and surely they can take a long time to get over, but the SD game seems it counteract that. Plus, it would also seem that a QB not getting over a concussion would be gun shy because he was wary of taking a hit. The Browns didnt really come close to hitting him for most of the night. The passes were just lousy when he had all night to throw. It just doesn't make much sense. Even in college, when he was consistently battered, one of his highest attributes was his fearlessness and mental as well as physical toughness. He was valiant and noble in the pocket to the point of being stupid. But now, he just lost all that.
Excellent point Kelly, if the concussion was an issue, if anything, he would be wary of taking another hit and dumping the ball off too quickly to the check down instead of waiting, waiting, waiting...then check down.
As for Losman, I too was hoping that after the third pick (which I hold on the coaching staff for putting him in that position to begin with) that maybe Losman could step in and give Trent some time to clear his head. With all the time that the O-line was giving them, I think JP would have been successful. JP struggles when the line is coming at him. He doesn't have the quick decision making ability but he does have the much stronger arm which he can accurately connect with receivers. A deep bomb to Evans would have completely changed the game.

Note the large number of passes to the team's deep threat after the INTs occurred:

Sigh....that's what you get when you don't have half-retarded chimpanzees calling the plays on the sidelines and a QB who let's INTs roll off him like water off a duck's back. JK was cool under pressure. TE wets his pants and starts sucking his thumb when things go wrong. Why? Because DJ insists he wear a diaper.
We need Dick Vermeil here to tell TE to take his diaper off (a la Larry Johnson).

I stand by my assertion that if Jeff Fisher was coaching this identical team, we would be 8-2 right now. He gets the most out of his players and doesn't blame personnel like Dick seems to be hanging his hat on.
Even if we were 5-5 under Fisher, the games all would be balls out, exciting and gutsy. As opposed to this chicken-sh-- football we've seen the past 6 weeks.

Trent was in the elite?
This is simply getting ridiculous.
Elite by our low standards I suppose.
Of course this is coming from the same fanbase where a percentage still believe that Dick Jauron is a good head coach.
-
Yes I agree.
Once Kelly lost that supporting cast he didn't look like a HOFer
Here are his stas in his final year:
1996
att 379
comp 222
yards 2810
58.6 %
tds14
int 19
QB rating...... 73.2
Still better than Trent right now....and that's the saddest part.

I thought this thread was about golf!
Man, was I disappointed...
The Bills will have plenty of time to golf come January when Jauron coaches them out of the playoffs.

I think last night showed us we need three big things...
1- Another target for Edwards, preferably at TE. TGonzalez would have been perfect for this team, absolutely perfect. Maybe we can take another run at him this offseason, otherwise we should look at free agents. I think LJ Smith was liked by the staff before Philly franchised him.
Really? We could have had a receiving corps of Terrell Owens, Steve Smith, Roddy White, Antonio Gates and Bo Scaife and Trent still wouldn't have been able to hit them because he couldn't find an open receiver (other than Marshawn/Fred) if his life depended on it.
Trent IS the problem right now. The receiving corps (Johnson, Evans, & Parrish) were open all game and Trent refused to throw. That's what I say last night.

By Chris Brown - Posted November 18th, 2008
James Hardy did not appear to take the field at all in the second half. When asked by Buffalobills.com if his hip flexor injury flared up on him. His response.
“No. I don’t know what’s going on.”
Hardy, like Evans, did not record a reception. Drafted by the Bills to creat a mismatch in the passing game, particularly in the red zone, Hardy did not even appear to be on the field during the times when Buffalo was inside the Browns’ 20-yard line. Buffalo went 2-4 on their red zone opportunities in the game.
Hardy was unsure if there was something he had done incorrectly on the field in the first half.
“If there’s something I did wrong, all they have to do is tell me and I’ll fix it,” said Hardy who was visibly disappointed he couldn’t contribute more.
This brilliant sports decision brought to you by our resident retatta, Dick Jauron.
Thanks for the three years of frustrating mediocrity and here's to three more...you friggin' loser.

I think we can and will beat Denver. And 11-5 woud get us into the playoffs and maybe even the division, as that would mean we beat each of our division opponents the second time around. But, alas, I don't think this year's Bills have the mental fortitude to beat the Pats*.
The don't have the mental fortitude because our coach is a f#cking mental midget.
Seriously, I will pay for whoever's gas money and expenses to grab Jauron, throw him in your trunk, drive him to Nunavut, Canada and keep him in a basement for the next three years so he can stay the heck away from our team.
YOU ARE THE WORST COACH EVER.

Typically, us Bills fans who have endured year after year after year (x7 more "after year"s) of futility have gained an innate ability to pinpoint exactly when a season is over and we can start discussing the following season, beginning with the 2009 Entry Draft. It's an incredible skill, developed only by crushing defeats and the realization that "this year just ain't the year".
Now that I think we can all agree that this season is over, which fantastic highly-rated DB are we taking this year?
*Merely a joke folks...but the doomsday clock is at 11:59....

My point is that several players had chances to win this game for us, and did not do it, so I don't want to hear about coaching this week.
Seriously Boone, are you Jauron's PR agent or something? Can you not see what everyone else does and realize that we're always "in a position to win" because Dick plays conservative, nutless football and if he took some freakin' chances then we wouldn't need last second field goals to win games against teams with much less talent than us like Denver last year, Oakland and now Cleveland?
I respect your opinion but regardless of those players not making plays at those points in the game, they still had a chance to win at the end. And Jauron BLEW IT but playing against the odds and trying a 47 yard field goal IN THE WIND when a couple of gutsy play calls could have made that a 32 yard chip shot.
I'm telling you Boone, my friend played for Jauron and he warned me at the time of hire that this is how he coaches. He warned me that Jauron cannot win the big game. Tonight further proved his point.

Maybe Obama can force some of his socialist ideals on the NFL and order an immediate redistribution of management and scouting talent so the Bills can have some hope for "Change" in the future. C'mon Obama, the Bills deserve happiness.
This just in: The Bills have signed Joe the Plumber to take over HC duties. Ralph blown away by Joe's moxy.

I can't sleep I'm so pissed, and I can't help but post.
Trent is DONE, folks. Think Ryan Leaf without screaming at a reporter done. There is no way anyone can know if he'll ever get his confidence back, but it's looking highly doubtful. He looks like the worst Bills QB since the Kelly days ended, and that includes Collins, Hobert, and RJ.
The thing is, playing JP and maybe winning a few more games likely doesn't mean playoffs, and then he's gone at the end of the season. So do you play Hamdan?
And I'm officially sick of Jauron. He's a 7-9/8-8 coach at best. The problem there is that he signed a 3-year extension and Ralph wouldn't fire him at the end of the season. Although he should and Jauron should refuse the money he was given (Shyeah, right!).
I think you're half right. I don't think Trent's done yet. Somewhere in that brain of his is the smart QB that made good decisions and protected the football. He's lost his way the last few games and I keep hope that'll find it again.
That being said, maybe Losman plays a couple games to give Trent some time to work through his problems.
Jauron on the other hand has to go. Simply inexcusable the play-calling at the end of the game. His LOSER mindset is affecting this team....making them losers.
I just got a text from my friend who plays on the Bears (and played for Dick). His words: "Sorry bro. He just can't win big games."
How right he is...

The regresssion of Edwards continues. He's not the same quarterback we saw early in the season. I'm not sure what happened to his psyche but it's in bad shape. Was afraid to throw the ball downfield. What's concerning is not the interceptions but the fact that he totally changed his mindset afterwards. The successful ones keep attacking and forget about the past quickly. He was the opposite - constant check downs - no throws on timing patterns - waiting for receivers to get wide open and then throwing late. Can't blame the o-line tonight - he had tons of time in the pocket. Mentally not there right now.
A lot of people are blaming the hit against Arizona. I don't buy it. He looked amazing against San Diego. I actually think that since the Miami game, he's lost all his confidence and he's second-guessing himself on every play. The pick-6 against the Jets just helped him keep losing his confidence. The Pats crippled him even further. Tonight you saw the result of his waning confidence. The first pick (as accidental as it was) just sent him on a spiral.
Trent may want to sit on the bench for a couple of games and find his game again. Not saying I want Losman, just that maybe Trent needs to sit down and study the playbook harder and work his issues off the field.

The Bills are in that nowhere zone of NFL franchises - a hair better than the Cincinatti's and Detroits of the world, but certainly not even sniffing the playoff calibre teams...
I feel like I'm going to cry...seriously...
When things aren't going well in life sometimes, just sometimes you lean on your favorite football team to give you some happiness even if it is somewhat empty and doesn't last very long, it's still happiness and it just makes you so briefly forget all the other things in life that are bringing you down.
The Bills have gone this year from providing me that happiness with their start to reminding me how utterly depressing my life is...
Thanks Dick.

or 10.
...or they just pack up and move to Toronto....

Johnson was open...
Dear Trent...please do not throw another pick.
Signed,
Bills Nation

THERE ARE 3 OF THEM!

All torching the Buffalo D for Touchdowns....
$%%^ Visa
Hmmm...Visa must have a vendetta against the Bills....
In Canada, the commercial is of Fred Reid and the Winnipeg Blue Bombers of the CFL running past the Buffalo D for a touchdown....
weird indeed....

You forgot the Sacagawea Golden Dollar Coin...sometimes referred to as the "Sack Buck".
The Sack Buck huh? If our DEs got paid in Sack Bucks, they'd be playing for free!

DrDankenstein concurs with John from Hemet and Heels from 20X6
Heels from 20X6 appreciates the sentiment of agreement DrDankenstein.

NO folks.......
All it would take to get this ship in the right direction would be the ability to run the ball......P.E.R.I.O.D.
- Want to blam Edwards for the int's? First look at the fact that our offense is so one one trick pony that we are actually lucky he hasn't played worse.
- Every time he holds the ball he has a defender on top of him
- I actually see a small minority talking about benching him for Losman.....well if the OL keeps playing like this that isn't going to be a problem because Edwards will be down with another injury
Fix the running game......watch the team instantly get better. Will it fix all the problems......no.....but enough that the team will start winning again.
Heels from 20X6 agrees with you. The team needs to commit to the run and the coaching needs to work much, much harder with our large and no longer in charge O-line to get them to dictate the pace of the game. There are few holes for our backs to move through.
I also suggest that Trent has been suffering without Josh Reed as his outlet. Reed has developed the ability to be able to get himself open for Trent as his "valve pass'.
I think that Turk needs to open his playbook up for more intermediate and deep routes. Maximize the speed of Roscoe and Lee. Stretch the field out and keep opposing defenses honest. Dink and dunk only works when the secondary respects your deep threats.

Is it GOOD or BAD that the earth is round? Let's create 28 threads about this, it's not a waste of anyone's time. We can make a difference!! Is Buffalo a GOOD or BAD name for a city? Discuss.
We could make a thread about what a douche you're looking like for trying to determine what is worthy of discussion on an open forum board....

Excellent post. And your avatar fills me with hot Mexican rage....
