I used quotations when I typed "high motor", I was being sarcastic as "high motor" to me is just a nice way of saying that someone tries really hard, you know the lil engine that could type players. Being gritty and tough are two characteristics that players either have or don't have. I wouldn't consider Schobel or Kelsay to be either but both can be classified as trying really hard given their usual 35 yard circumvention of the offensive line, it must hurt to run that much every single play. Maybe Jauron thinks they're defensive backs? I'll admit that Maualuga intrigued me but I never expected the FO to draft him but I think in today's NFL he's the type of player that will succeed, big, athletic, fast and tough.

Don't forget that Evans costs $9 million per season. Guy makes over a million dollars per touchdown.

I second that, Evans the sprinter is good for one thing, fly patterns. Has he ever gone over the middle or gotten hard fought YAC?

Good post and I agree a 1st round QB is not the answer, firing Jauron is a start though. Is Dick Jauron the type of coach that wants gritty hard working players? Is he willing to draft/acquire tough guys like that? He seems so much of a finesse type coach.... the cover 2, the conservative offense etc etc. He is too cereberal to be a football coach, it's a barbaric game played by barbaric men. Somehow this toolbox ended up playing and then eventually coaching football, it's a depressing paradox. Ray Maualuga, tough gritty hard hitter could have been picked twice by this team in the most recent draft, instead we go for a speed/finesse DE and two "high motor" offensive lineman and a CB, a position that this team was already extremely deep at.

This team looks flat out horrible. The first team offense has not scored a touchdown during the preseason. Look around the NFL, many other teams are leaving in their starters for almost full halves, it's great practice and when you suck like Trent and the offense does it makes sense to try hard. We all waited "til the games counted" for the last three seasons and were treated to torturous dissapointment and thrice consecutive 7-9 seasons. It doesn't matter if Jauron shows his hand or not when the games don't matter, his teams are unprepared and unmotivated.

The front office is rolling in money right now, why would they change a thing (truly address the problems) when people are buying tickets/merchandise in record numbers?

Absolute agreement with cutting Schobel, I'd cut Kelsay too. I don't think it will ever happen though, Dicky boy always shows favoritism towards the veterans, hence why Fred Jackson and Jabari Greer weren't "discovered" until all his precious veterans were injured and he had no choice but the play them. Meanwhile all of the fans were calling for more playing time for these guys a season or two before his hand was forced. Copeland Bryan and Chris Ellis can't do much worse than Schobel or Kelsay right? I mean how can you do worse than zero sacks/pressures? I mean if they want to hire me to circumvent the tackles by 30 yards I'll do it on the cheap. I honestly see nothing changing from last year or the year before that or the year before that.

I would have agreed if it was year 1 of Dick Jauron's seemingly infinite and infallible tenure at OBD but the fact is this team was horribly unprepared last night to face the 3-4 defense, again for like the 9000th time. This fact alone should cost him his job, yesterday.

Sarcasm right? 7 completions for 45 yards is hardly hitting anyone downfield. Trent is the dumpoff king for Christ's sake, he plays scared.

75% is a very kind figure. This team needs to dump a few veterans to send a message, I'm talking to you Schobel and Kelsay, you guys fukking suck.

1-8 last year against the 3-4 defense. I don't have a link but I recall reading this morning Trent stating that "....it's a new look for some of the guys on this team..." implying that the 3-4 is not somethign that they are being exposed to. My screaming response is if your team is in a division in which every other club uses the 3-4 why the fukk aren't you at least lining the defense up in practice to give the "look" of the 3-4? Trent is paralyzed by the 3-4 and goes into dump off mode after the first play for Christ's sake. Is Jauron even sitting down with him talking about this? This organization needs a serious purge. But as long as the sheeple keep buying tickets at near record pace and lining Ralph's pockets nothing will change.

No, he will most certainly get injured (2 for 2 with injuries per season) or even get pulled mid way when the Bills are 1-7 and Jauron is coaching to save his job. Fitzpatrick runs this offense much better than Trent anyway and is not afraid to throw the ball past the line of scrimmage. Not that anyone on this soft team can get the job done with Dick "Career Loser" Jauron at the helm.

The "I told you so" threads will only get you flamed around here. Douchebag.

But what about continuity? A hilarious concept to want 7-9 seasons to continue. The Marv-Jauron experiment officially failed last year, this is just insulting. The era of pussyball in Buffalo has got to end.

Orakpo now drawing double teams while Maybin is doing what?

I want him to punt it backwards out of the stadium.

As long as the fanbase keeps buying tickets at record pace why would Ralph do anything differently, it's working quite well for him.

Meanwhile while our rookie and high risk pick at DE is not playing Brian Orakpo is regularly being mentioned as making great plays on the Washington-Pitt game.

True and it's the same as last year, solid NT play by the opposing team spells the end of any offense. You think 3 years of this same problem would force Jauron to maybe examine the situation. Why would he though when he can keep drafting CB's and stressing zone defense.

Hey Tom, sad thing is that I don't think the Bills would have even drafted Raji if he had fallen to them one slot later.

"I'm a terrible coach and I resign"

I don't have the exact number but with Dicky Jauron as coach the Bills have seldomly beat teams with .500 or better records. It's some absurd number, less than 5 I think. Dick gets cuckolded by better coaches/motivated teams.

It appears as if the players have been replaced by a group of vaginas, which would normally be okay but they are a bunch of fugly poontangs if I've ever seen any.

Bills are going to get embarassed on MNF in a few weeks if this is any preview of what to expect when they face a potent offense and a 3-4 defense. Don't make any excuses people, these are the first teamers out there trying to execute what they've learned.
