If you know who these stats belong to, don't blow it for everyone else. I will release the names around 6pm tonight. Partial seasons are pro-rated.
I want to see the win/losses associated with each age please.

Enough with the "fire Jauron" threads. There is ZERO CHANCE in HELL that he'll be fired anytime soon. ZERO. Get it through your thickened, cynical skulls. He just signed an extension. He's stabilized the organization. Ralph loves him. His players love him. He's well-respected around the league. This team just completed two coaching changes in a row prior to Jauron, and as Ralph well knows every time you usher in a new coaching staff you have to start all of the way from scratch, because that coach has his own schemes which will require its own new set of players and philosophy. IT AIN'T HAPPENING. It's not even worth discussing. It's on par with topics like, What if it started raining dollar bills one day? And, Are there dinosaurs still living in New Mexico? It's PURE FANTASY, so can we please, please move on.
I'll get off of my soapbox now.
So if the Bills were to lose out and go 5-11, you don't think the people calling for his head wouldn't get it? I dunno man, I think it's like the ol' Popeye saying will come out from Ralph "I can stands so much, but I can't stands no more!"

DJ did throw the challenge flag. The refs ignored it. Get your facts straight before you whine.
Yep, he threw it, didn't get the refs attention and proceeded to let NE get a free 30 yard play that set up a touchdown in what turned out to be a close scoring game. Brilliant, simply brilliant.

The Bills should be more than ready and fired up to pound the Steamers. Last year when they were worse, they took the 5-0 Dallas Cowboys to the wire and choked. Cleveland is not last years Cowboys who ended up in the NFC Championship game. This should be an easy win, but..................
Hate to correct you but Dallas didn't make it to the NFC Championship...they got knocked out by the NYG. It was Green Bay vs. New York for the NFC.

Who have we beaten Sea 2-7, oak, 2-7, stl, 2-7, sd 4-5, jax 4-5
who have we lost to ari 6-3, miami 5-4, jets 6-3, ne 6-3
who do we have left cle -3-6, kc 1-8, sf 2-7
mia 5-4, jets 6-3, den 5-4, ne 6-3
2006 1-7 against teams above .500 6-1 .500 and below
2007 1-7 against teams above .500 6-1 .500 below
2008 0-4 against teams above .500 5-0 .500 below
thats 2-18 against teams above .500 and 17-2 against teams .500 and below
This means our coach is a winner against mediocre and worse teams and a loser when it comes to winning teams we cannot win with a coach like this ever hes afraid to win against the better teams, or plays scared, or underprepares, or plays to close to the vest or just plain sucks. Unfortunately we have this Dick for 3 more years or until Ralph dies which ever comes first.
So based on stats we will go 2-1 over next three games and 1-3 over the final 4 leaving us with an 8-8 record one better than last season thats a huge improvement
This is why I'm anti-Dick Jauron. It really has nothing to do with passive style or his morbid face expressions or how he looks in a Bills sweatsuit...it's the inability of the teams he coaches to win against quality opponents. It seems like his teams are never prepared to beat GOOD TEAMS.
People here are making comparisons to other coaches after 41 games but please tell me in those 41 games what those coaches records were against quality teams. I would like to know. Because to me, Jauron's biggest, most inexcusable flaw is how the his teams always come out flat in big games.

Another- Mike Smith HC- Atlanta falcons
Rookie qb who looks like he's been in the league for 4 years already. I thought Matt Ryan was gonna be good, but damn.
1st year starting rb who backed up LT. Turner flashed potential behind lt for a few years. He's turning out to live up to that potential behind what was considered to be not a very good offenseive line
wr's who underachieved for years due to apparantly bad quarterback play
A suspect defense who's playing pretty damn good. John Abraham is actually healthy this year, and his talent is shining thru. Maybe a candidate for DPOY. Getting solid play across the board in the frony 7 and their secondary. Lawyer Milloy is still playing at a high level. Yeah I'm gonna go with Mike Smith for COTY
I'm going with Mike Smith too. What a year he's having....everyone predicted the Falcons to be dead in the water before the season even started. Rookie HC, Rookie QB, back-up RB now a starter, a year removed from a coach quitting on his players...all signs pointed to disaster and regardless of what happens from here on out, they've over-achieved BIG TIME.
Mike Smith.. COTY.

Damn. Will we ever get to play the Browns in a normal game?
Why I love Jaws...he made the announcement during the Cards-Niners game that "there's going to be snow in Buffalo" and when Tony and Tirico groaned, Jaws howled out a "YESSSSSS!!!!" That's a true Lackawanna boy right there.
He will be our biggest cheerleader on Monday (for the fans), guys, let's not let him down and be as freakin' loud as we can!

If you think a defensive line where 3 of the 4 starters are Chris Kelsay, Ryan Denney and Kyle Williams, a secondary where a clueless rookie is forced in as the nickelback and the safeties are such lackluster players as Ko Simpson and Bryan Scott, an interior offensive line where 2 of the 3 starters are Duke Preston and Jason Whittle, a WR corps consisting basically of one guy, and a group of tight ends lead by Robert Royal doesn't make for seriously flawed personnel...I don't know what to do with you.
If these offensive and defensive lines aren't "seriously flawed" what the hell is?
And again we get into the chicken and egg argument. Who was responsible for building this team? Jauron, I believe, had a lot to say about how this team would look in 2008. His own words were ones that indicated that this team was ready to go, that there would be no more excuses and this franchise is eying a playoff birth. What you've listed above are the very "excuses" he didn't want to come out with.

60 percent of the time...it works everytime.
Ugh...Milk was a BAD CHOICE!

Everybody keeps saying that we're about to play three bad teams...as if the Bills are a good team. Cleveland hung 35 on the Giants, beat Jax and scored 27 points against a very good Baltimore defense.
Someone thinks we'll be able to stop them when their bread-n-butter underneath passes are the raspberry seeds in the Bills wisdom tooth?
Okay. But if you're going to say we're about to play some bad teams, qualify is correctly by stating that a bad Bills team will be playing three bad teams.
Cuz our team is bad right now until proven otherwise.
You're so dead on LA that you're almost Jauron on! I can't see how anyone thinks it's a given that we're going to be 8-4 after the next three games. Yes, the Bills have talent but so do these other teams. Don't let their records fool you. KC has been in more games than not, Cleveland still has an extremely high-powered offense and San Fran has a new coach that is slowly but surely getting his team to play harder than their talent tells them too. The Bills could just as easily be 5-7 if its the same Bills team that shown up the last 3 weeks. Some of you magically expect them to be complete winners again but what worries me is that the Bills have gotten WORSE week to week. Not better, not showing any improvements but actually getting worse from game to game.
I love the Bills and will cheer til my throat is raw, but the pollyanna "don't worry, be happy" attitude that some of you have just baffles me! I won't be happy until we are 8-4 and in those three wins show a team that can rush the QB, commit to the run and protect their young QB who I hope is making the same smart decisions with the ball as he did three weeks ago.

95 percent of all statistics are made up!
Well yeah....65 percent of people know that!

Obviously, I'm being facetious. Everyone knows that every ticket and piece of merchandise bought comes with a guarantee from the Bills that says they will win the SB every year in exchange for your patronage.
GO BILLS!!!
I too am being facetious in that yes, in a legal sense, the team owes us nothing but in the fact that they exist as a form of public entertainment they do owe us. In being a professional sports franchise, their existence depends on the ability of the franchise to develop a fan base and/or community that will support the team via ticket purchases, merchandise, sponsorships etc. As a fan, in exchange, we ask that they place the best, most entertaining product on the field for us to continue this relationship. With no fans, there is no team. Of course, they could always move and set up shop elsewhere but again, if the fans there feel slighted by the product, the team can fold or move again...and again...until it provides a product that again develops a fan base that gives it reason to support itself in that area.
-
The Bills don't owe you a damn thing, regardless of how you choose to feel about them.
Carry on.
GO BILLS!!!
Really? The Bills don't owe me or anyone else a damn thing huh? I guess those seats at the Ralph are free and the numerous jerseys, hats, caps, and shirts I wear were hung off a rack that said "Please help yourself"....
strange...could have sworn I paid for them.....
-
True but I am calling out the cacklers here who persist to spew venom.
You are right. The Bills organization has given us much to be positive about the last three weeks. As well, they deserve the benefit of the doubt with the last decade of success they've given us. We fans are selfish and greedy. Like our New England counterparts.
-
Well if we could go with album titles, I would nominate "Melancholy and the Infinite Sadness". Melancholy being the team's attitude and sadness being the life of a Bills fan....
-
Because retards think he shouldn't be.
Fantastic defense, full of factual and pertinent information that really solidifies your argument.
:w00t:
Explain to me todd, if Jauron is such a fantastic head coach, why was there no one else bidding for his services when we were looking for a head coach?
-
That's the wrong mindset. The correct mindset would be to ask himself, what do I have to do to make the Patriots fear us? Then he should do that!
When has Dick Jauron EVER done that?
-
Oh, you continued your ironic analogy in your comeback. I wasn't expecting that.
/sarcasm
What's that saying Murra? People in retard glass houses shouldn't throw stones?

Trent Edwards is a better QB than JP plain and simple. He manages the game better, makes better decisions and has shown that he can bring the team back in tough situations. That being said, he has struggled as of late and no one is arguing that fact.
This is his first season as a true starter and he is still learning. Peyton, Elway, Aikman, Cutler, heck most every big name QB in the game has struggled in their first season or two. JP had plenty of chances and he didn't take advantage of them. JP's biggest challenge is his inability to overcome tough odds and make something happen. If you are a "gunslinger" and don't have the ability to lead your team in the toughest of times, you are the worst kind of gunslinger. That Cardinals game was proof of that...it just took me back to the frustration of his previous seasons. I understand he came in as a backup, but leaders are born out of adversity and he didn't show an ability to rise above his circumstances.
No doubt Trent has made some bad plays and had costly turnovers. But you get the sense at least with him that he is going to learn from those things and move forward. Three times this year already he has lead his team back from tough deficits. It's going to take time for him to be a truly complete QB. Without a consistently solid D and problems on both lines, those challenges are amplified. The fact of the matter is that we had chances in all three division games and had bad turnovers or defensive breakdowns. At least we were in those games. I'll take that any day over having to worry about JP stalling yet another drive.
This team has bigger issues than the QB play. Trent has the skills and mentality to rise above those issues and make this team better. That streak starts on Monday against the Browns.

OMG! THIS IS LIKE THE FIRST TIME EVER ANYONE HAS CREATED A POST ON THIS SUBJECT! I am so glad with your second post, you've brought attention to this grossly under-debated issue!
-
Maybe I am delusional but at least I am standing up for something and trying to support the team...unlike the rest of you jerks who just sit on here and B word about the bills and how bad they are, get out there and do something about it. I bleed buffalo and want this team to have every chance to succeed and stay in buffalo (unlike most of you who have baled on the city and moved somewhere else)...
Saying it cannot be done is BS it can be done. It can be resealed for the winter after they unseal it for the day. If toronto wants NFL games maybe they should embrace the NFL head on and bring the game back to its roots.
You seem a little slow so I won't resort to name-calling like you have (which is a great way to drum up support by the way!) but for the LAST TIME - IT CAN'T BE DONE BECAUSE THE DOME IS NOT SET UP FOR OPEN WINTER PLAY - THEY HAVE NO DRAINAGE SYSTEM IN PLACE AND I WON'T EVEN BEGIN TO TELL YOU HOW MUCH OF A PROCESS IT IS TO "UNSEAL" THE DOME ONCE ITS BEEN SEALED.
IT CAN'T BE DONE.
IT CAN'T BE DONE.
IT CAN'T BE DONE.
It's not up to the city of Toronto to bring the game back to its roots. That's the NFL's job. And this game long ago left those roots.

I don't know who, but my qualifications are low.
1) Show signs that you are conscious of your surroundings on the sideline during a game.
2) Actually raise your voice and act upset to your staff and players when things are not going well on the field.
Other than that, I'm completely open.
3) Ability to know when to throw the f#cking challenge flag.....
4) To exhibit more life than a rock and to motivate your players.

Well its a must-win this week. How the guys come out Monday Night will tell us quite a bit.
Exactly! A win this week moves us back a minute, a loss and it's all but over. Not in terms of actual playoff contention but in terms of how it can be understood that this team is in an unescapable downward spiral.
-
Sometimes the best thing to do as a fan is to let them have it with double barrels. My only hope is that this team gets what's coming to them on Monday night if they start sleepwalking against the Browns. I hope the boos are so loud that Ralph is embarrassed enough he'll reconsider Dick Jauron's "extended" future and fire the loser at halftime.
I can feel my blood pressure rise when I watch the mind-numbing press conferences. Idiot reporters with their softball questions. Idiot coach scratching his head, avoiding eye contact telling everyone how they have to work harder, get better execution. How these guys are going to be great. Let 'em have it Bills fans! Get all of your frustrations out. Let the world know how you feel about the direction of this team.
BTW, this season IS over. I saw it with my own eyes these last three weeks. These guys literally have NO intestinal fortitude. It would have showed up in at least one of their AFC East divisional games and it sadly and pathetically did not. That tells me all I need to know about this team, this coach and how our season turns out.
It's not over til its over, but the Doomsday clock is pointing to 11:59....

But the players like him!
Would 8-8 or 9-7 be an improvement

I vote Cincy as our new OC!
As for 9-7 or 8-8....with our softer schedule, anything short of 10-6 would be a gross disappointment in my eyes.
