We would get absolutely shredded vs. the Steelers, Titans or Giants. Can you say 'beaten to a bloody pulp'?
We would get beaten by Indy but instead of a shredding it would be more like carved up.
And ol' Dicky Boy would be at his press conference talking about how "we just didn't execute today. Or last week. Or the week before. But I've got to find a way to get this team winning again...."

I'm a fan. I bleed Bills Blue. I'll watch, I'll go, I'll cheer . . . But my patience is wearning thin . . . and I'm positive that I'm not alone . . .
You're not alone....
Though there are still some on this board who for some reason, despite statistics, history and general perception on the sidelines, still think Jauron is a good head coach. If anything, it's got me worried that the team got to 5-1 IN SPITE of Dick J's mellow-yellow Small-ball game-planning. It's like the first 6 weeks, Dick Jauron let his coaches actually call the shots which could explain why we were winning and maybe he's taken over control on the sidelines. Because this team is playing eerily reminiscent of itself last year.

And your point is?? Let me guess...
To NOT get fired up for next week's Monday night game, which until last year we'd waited years for MNF to return to Buffalo?
To NOT believe that the 12th man at the Ralph can make a difference in the games outcome?
The season will be over soon enough and we'll be talking about next year's free agents, draft and how next year will be THE year. They way the Bills played yesterday was embarrassing and they have no excuse. They're playing without confidence which makes the crowd even MORE important this week.
Love the team win or lose, better or for worse....
Still doesn't take away the fact that this team in three weeks has gone from toast of the town to just plain toast with no butter.
It hurts as a fan to get so excited about a winning season and be kept up at night thinking your team is might be in that 10% that start off 5-1 and NOT make the playoffs....
Being a fan hurts.

San Francisco just sh*t the bed. What a piss poor performance. At least we are not niners fans right now.
Yeah well, that Niners team played with a lot more heart, grit and determination against a division rival, on the road, in a very tough situation. Much more than our merry band of feet-shufflers this weekend. If anyone thinks the Niners is an easy win, watch this football game and tell me our O-Line can hold up against their rush, or keep Frank Gore from running all over us, or even get Shaun Hill to hurry up a throw....
Niner fans can at least have some pride that they had the chance to win the game....we got nothing from our team Sunday.

i am not happy with this team right now either. and frankly, speaking about the performances from the last 3 weeks, the easier question is "who ISNT to blame?" since this team has repeatedly failed in every aspect, at every position.
it was only a few weeks ago that plenty of people here (and some of the bashers in this thread) were talking about our great coaching.
im not going to say that the coaching doesnt deserve some criticism and a serious kick in the ace, but the idea that we should get rid of the staff is ridiculous.
the titans went through some bad times with Fisher, but they stuck with him. the same can be said for any/every successful coach.
My feeling is this, and this is just my opinion as I have no say in what happens at OBD, but if Jauron doesn't coach this team into the playoffs by season's end, then I would like the team to head in another direction. Is it fair to say with the talent that we have and the opportunity in front of us with the Patriots, Colts and Steelers not looking nearly as dangerous as they have the previous two years, that the table is set for Jauron to get this team into playoff contention?
Anything short of the playoffs and Jauron as a coach cements his image to me of a perennial loser.
-
Or you can dig just a bit deeper, and consider the personnel he's worked with during that time. In year 1, he overachieved. In year 2, he again overachieved. In year 3, he's 5-4 and in the thick of the AFC playoff hunt. Whats to complain about?
Three straight crucial losses to divisional opponents would be one. The inability of the team to win important games would be another. How about his inability to win challenges? (or in the case this week, even challenge properly?) One could point to how ill-prepared the team was this week and compare it to past performances and wonder "why is this team never up for big games?"
The evidence against Jauron is pretty damning. Say what you will about overachieving, but maybe from a personnel standpoint, why are our players so injury prone? And where is the depth that teams like Pittsburgh, NE, the NYG, have that when a key injury happens, they aren't crippled from the loss? It all comes back to personnel.
These are very trying times for Bills fans. I for one, hate the timid, conservative style of football the team plays. If we are going to lose, at least lets go out swinging. Not meekly walking off the field with our tail between our legs. Look at KC yesterday or Seattle. They lost, but they could walk off the fields proudly, knowing they gave it their all out there.
But hey, we just have problems "executing" right Dick?
-
DJ hasn't turned the ball over 12 times in the last three games. Nor has he completely stunk at running the ball.
No, but he is responsible for playing the players that turned the ball over 12 times, and he's responsible for the coaches who are supposed to work on improving the run game.
The fact that turnovers and the ineptitude of the run game has been an issue three straight weeks now tells me the coach isn't doing nearly enough to address the issues on this team.
-
You're not planning on re-signing Chet Mutryn, are you?
I'd like to throw my hat in for scouting. That way I can get paid to travel round the country and study safeties and corners to pick in the first three rounds of every draft.
-
Here is a new petition. This one calls to have the game moved back to Orchard Park.
Signed it!

Beast Mode - Sure, most of us expected a 7-10 win season. However, when you start 4-0 and 5-1, you ARE expected to finish better. 8 or 9 wins after starting 5-1 is simply unacceptable. That shows a breakdown in coaching. Something like 90% of teams that start 4-0 make the playoffs, and currently, we're well on our way to being part of the other 10%.
And that my friend, is the rub! If the Bills scratched and clawed their way to 5-4, winning one, then losing one, etc. to get to where we are today, then no one would be too disappointed to see how the season is going. HOWEVER, we started 4-0, then 5-1, which means that maybe our low expectations were too low and this team revealed that they had the TALENT to win games. Now, they've crashed down to earth horribly, losing three straight against average division opponents. That is a sign of BAD COACHING. The expectations have changed since they went 5-1. I'm not lowering them now after seeing what the team could do. If we don't make the playoffs now, the Bills will be one of the biggest jokes in NFL history. Remember when the Lions started 6-2 and then bottomed out? I'm going to kept up at night thinking our franchise is no better than theirs if we do the same as then.

Might not be one of the great rivalries yes, but it is still a divisional game being played on a neutral site...come on people why do we not see that this is completely crazy. There may even be more dolphins fans there because of the EX Argo Ricky Williams...we need to get the advantage back, that is what this league is all about playing in the elements and using your home field to give you and advantage. If every team played in a dome the game wouldn't be half as fun as it is now. Look back to last years Browns game. It sucked, what was the final 7-3? but it was an awesome game because of the elements. The bills had to suffer through high temps in miami this year so lets make them suffer through the cold weather in Buff...er...Toronto
You don't get it do you? They CAN'T open the dome because they don't have a system in place to handle snow. This petition is as useless as asking Ralph Wilson to close the dome at Buffalo's stadium. IT'S NOT POSSIBLE.
As for the game, it will be 80% Bills fans. Toronto is majority of Bills fans, as well as most of southern Ontario (like Hamilton and Ottawa). I don't know any Fins fans myself because frankly, they've sucked serious arse since Marino left so the fans have bailed. It's not like people in TO can drive 1.5 hours to a Fins game.
-
Below is a link to a petition to give the Bills somewhat of a homefield advantage when they play the Dolphins in Toronto.
Turn this into a "Fire Dick Jauron" petition and I'll sign. They can play in Cancun or the f#cking Artic Circle but with Dick coaching this team, we're already 14 point underdogs.

"Just have to be lucky enough and stay healthy enough to accumulate enough wins to get in that tournament at the end of the season."
I swear if I read one more soundbite from him about the team not "executing well", I'm going to execute him! WELL!

Seriously?
The guy talks all season about being the antithesis of Fairchild.
He comes out in the first week and throws the long ball, establishes the run with runs off tackle and to the edge.
Then... he seemed to forget everything.
I honestly don't see any difference in the playcalling yesterday than in any game Fairchild called.
So is it the OC... or does Jauron have a say in how the offense is called?
Honestly...I'm beginning to wonder the same thing. At the beginning of the season, Turk was a "fresh of breath air" (Royal joke) and the offense honestly seemed to open up. Now, it's back to small ball. Dink and dunk. Play not to lose.
I recall that Fairchild was also the same way two seasons ago...then last season he stunk it up something fierce. Maybe Dick does have too much a say in the offensive scheme. It just doesn't make sense....
-
If injuries are a legitimate excuse, then Jauron's tenure has been all the more impressive. I didn't want to go there.
Let me preface that I was impressed the way the team played thru injury. That being said, Jauron's record in big games or against teams with a winning percentage is terrible. Absolutely terrible.
-
7) Most of all, Fire Jauron because he will not do any of the above, other than wasting 2 picks on McCargo who sucks.
See? Simple, right?
Truer words have never been spoken...
-
Yes.
This coaching staff can't get it done. They do not give this team a chance to win. I sat and predicted run or pass on every play during the game (with Bills on offense) just before each snap. I was wrong 3 times. 3 TIMES! I think the Patriot coaches and defenders were wrong less than I. Now, there are obvious running and passing situations, but when the other team knows what you're going to do, you don't give your offense much chance.
Second, the Bills defenders on many plays gave huge cushions to the Patriot receivers (again) and the Patriots simply ran short routes in front of them and completed those passes almost every time. Played right into the hands of the offense that the Patriots want to run with Cassel at QB.
Simply stated, this team doesn't challenge the opposition. They play the safe high percentage game and give the opponent the high percentage game. Jauron has to go. Period. Very nice man, but not a winner as an NFL coach unless he's matched up against an inferior opponent. Bills have beaten teams with a winning record once in nearly 3 years of his regime. His contract extension timing was horrible. Big mistake by the front office. Good thing Jauron doesn't work for me. He'd never forget tomorrow.
I have a friend who plays in Chicago...his words on Jauron: "Nice guy but not a winner". He said the difference between him and Lovie was night and day. Sure Lovie's made some bone-headed decisions with his QB selection but is there anyone here who can tell me that the Bears don't show up to play every week? For f#ck sakes, he got them to the SB with REX GROSSMAN as his QB?!? And yet with arguably two talented QBs in Edwards and Losman, Jauron can't do sh--!!!!
This team has talent, Jauron and his band of losers just cannot harness it. I fully believe under a great coach like Jeff Fisher or Bill Cowher, this team would be perennial winners.
-
Well "Stone Cold" still implies some life does it not?
I'm thinking "Stone Cold Dead" is more accurate...But I guess it's just splitting hairs at this point...
So true KOK...so true...
my heart weeps for this team...
Who needs Jeff Fisher and his ability to make scrubs look like superstars when you can Dick and be content with being in the game?
-
Lets stop this nonsense the Bills don't have the talent. The talent is there, it needs to be utilized better and the players need to execute better. Is there any doubt that Jeff Fisher or Bill Bellichick could take this same team and be 8-1 or 7-2 with them?? I have none. This coaching staff needs to step up and stop allowing themselves and their players to continue to accept these piss poor performances....
I would like to see any of the pro-Jauron crowd tell me that a better coach like Fisher, Belichek or John Fox would be at 5-4 right now. Our coaching staff is outright embarassing and their terrible coaching is what is derailing this team and stripping it of its identity and confidence. I'd hate to say it, but maybe the Bills need to have a monumental collapse before ol' Mr. Wilson decides he's had enough of Dick Jauron's Small Ball Incorporated™. Sadly, even if the Bills were to finish 5-11, I don't see Ralph absorbing 3 years of his contract. What a horribly bone-headed decision it was to extend this guy.
And I hate to say it...but maybe Fairchild wasn't the problem after all.
-
absolutely, like passing on 3rd and 1
Or running a pitch toss on 3rd and goal from the 7.....
-
That's my prediction. 8-8. Discuss.
PTR
With "Stone Cold" Dicky J on our sidelines, we best be preparing for such an outcome....
.....

.....
For three more F#CKING YEARS. I bite my thumb at thee, Jauron supporters! Could be the worst signing in franchise history.
-
Note to Jauron. Here's where you and Fairchild were ultra-lame last year. You packed it in and played not to be embarrassed. The only thing that kept the team in it was HEART from players that were playing in place of injured starters. This year, WIN the hearts of fans and your own team by getting some "Wizard of Oz lion courage" in your game. Ease up on the oatmeal, fruit bland BS breakfast and start showing some BALLS. Find a way to SACK a quarterback, rough up a team, throw a long ball, and NOT BE SO DAMMED BORING AND PREDICTBLE...maybe start by doing something uncomfortable to get the feel of it...like wearing one of Gregg Williams' loud sweaters all week.
This exact statement should be tattooed on Ralph Wilson's @ss so that when Dick is down there kissing it for another 6 year extension he can read it and see what we fans really think of his bland, put-me-to-sleep offense.
-
I disagree. The players we have play hard almost every down. They just aren't that good. Lemme rephrase that. They aren't good enough to overcome mediocre and outright stupid coaches.
Jeff Fisher is about 500 times the coach that Dick Jauron is. Fisher has his players believing they can win games. Jauron has our team playing with no confidence because his mantra is "okay guys, let's keep it close and don't make any mistakes...we'll win it with a last second field goal!".
A Loser Coach turning a team into losers...
Where's e-ball to place Dick on his pedestal and calling us out for not bowing down in awe of his greatness?
I HATE JAURON.
-
i think we should get him.
per rotoworld
Beat writer Tony Grossi does not believe that Kellen Winslow will be back with the Browns in 2008.
It will be interesting to see what Cleveland can get for him. Winslow's attitude and long history of knee trouble will likely cause him to be viewed as a risky acquisition by other teams. Still, at only 25 with uncommon speed for a tight end, he'll likely bring back at least a second-round pick.
Would he be a significant upgrade over what we have now? Absolutely. If you can get him, you get him.
I could care less about "character" players anymore. Character hasn't got us any Super Bowls or even a freakin' playoff spot in 10+ years. Maybe this team needs some "characters" to find an identity.
