I think he learned last year that the gloves don't work so well, but he still had trouble throwing without them in the cold. We'll see what he can do tonight. Could be a long night for the Bills if they can't run or throw.

Drew Rosenhaus is one very large A-hole. A man of poor integrity. Don't let what guys like him say bother you.

Pick up some gloves for Trent.

This is Jauron's philosophy. Fewell carries it out. It is Jauron that is dictating chicken shyt football on both offense and defense. It is the Jauron way. Caution, safety, avoid risk, manage the game, hope (pray) to win.

When the other team knows when you're running or passing on nearly every play, you don't give yourself much chance. The opposition too often knows what's coming from the Bills offense.

When do we draft a new coach?

If we're making decisions on luck, his is mostly bad. On that basis, get rid of him and replace him with a lucky coach. based on his record in Chicago, he only had luck in one season. He has a track record of bad luck which should be reason enough to replace him.

Mcnabb has a career rating of over 86 with 184 TD and only 84 interceptions and a 5.9 YPC average rushing the ball. I'll take that for the Bills right now. He's had a very nice career.

I live in Chicago. Watched the whole Jauron era closely. Yes, luck. No team before or since had so many breaks go their way (and a weak schedule) in one season. Playoffs said it all. They were outclassed by a lesser opponent (record-wise). It was an abberation (13-3). The Bills have shown throughout Jauron's time here that they cannot beat an opponent with a winning record regardless of who is on the field. His record in Chicago looked very much like that. He's not a winning NFL coach. Nice guy for sure, but not a winning coach. He has the opportunity to prove us non-believers wrong. He hasn't done it. When you're paid millions a year to do a job, results matter. He doesn't produce them.

Kiss the next 3 goodbye as we celebrate the new contract for the beloved head coach.

Not to worry. With the Bills running game, Trent won't have to throw much.

Forecast = Gloves for Trent.

Jauron was an "epic bust" (in your words) in Chicago. 13-3 by dumb luck. Got a first round bye and lost badly at home to the wild card Eagles. Never sniffed the playoffs before or since. The current Bills GM has put his own ass squarely on the line (IMO) with Jauron's extension. Even GMs make bad decisions.

Dick Jauron is working on "busting" for the second time and is close to achieving that.

That would only give these coaches another year of excuses.

Once again, hopes hinge on mathmatical possibilities rather than confidence in what the team is and what it can do. Another tranlation: In spite of the coaches, the Bills are still alive in the playoff race.

I think most of you don't get it. Is it not becoming clear that this coaching staff is nearly helpless when it comes to developing the QB into a weapon? You could try all 32 starting QBs in the NFL on this current team IMO and get similar results - mediocrity. These coaches take the most important position on the team and try to minimize its impact. You show me a more risk averse coaching staff in this league. You can tromp on JP. He's gotta be the happiest offensive guy on the team knowing he's getting a new address next year.

I don't know if there is anything wrong with a 4-3. When you have a strong tendency to rush 4 guys who aren't that effective at pressuring the qb and have youR LBs dropping back and everyone covering to "keep it in front of you", you're making it easy for the opposition to run a ball control offense against you and not generating turnovers. Kinda odd that the Bills play defense exactly as they'd like their opposition to play defense against their offense.

You've still missed it. I'm simply saying that JP (IMO) may well be in a better situation than Trent next year. What I mean is a better coaching situation. Does anyone on this board really believe that this current coaching staff is capable of developing a QB and putting effective offensive game plans together from week to week? Does anyone think that Buffalo is a good place for a young QB to spend their early NFL learning years with this current staff? Not that every other franchise is better, but on this subject, Buffalo has to rank near the bottom.

Getting the most from the QBs talent is even better.

You've missed the point again.

I don't believe the suggestion is padding on the outside and a hard shell on the inside, but possible padding on both sides of a hard inner shell.

I'll be watching with interest too. JP will get a fresh start while Trent's career will remain mired in mediocrity (at best) due to the limitations of this coaching staff. Trent will wish he were in JP's shoes somewhere else. He's just not experienced enough yet to realize it.

You have a good point. Depends on the woman. Some need size more than features.

What a shame that we didn't get more of Kay Stephenson.
