Paup 1995MVP

Dockery is so soft for an NFL player. He nevers nails anyone. We should cut him and eat his bonus immediately. The guy is average at best. I would keep Preston as a backup, and try and find the best dam center in North America and sign him in free agency or the draft. It is that important.

Add a safety who can hit and cover and a CENTER, and a third DT. And a head coach who knows when to pass and when to run. And some linebackers. My god ours suck.

Blaming Lindell for either of those losses is ridiculous. We should have blown the Browns out at home. Our QB imploded early and than did not have the moxie or fortitude to get his head together and make plays after the dreadful first quarter. Against SF, we did not covert in the red zone when we had numerous opportunities. The play calling was suspect, and of course we did not execute like we should have. Also, you have to look at 0-5 in the division. Probably to be 0-6 come Sunday at 4pm. That says we just are not good enough. Sure our coaching has been suspect at times. But I look at our lack of talent at certain positions as much more glaring. Overall, our QB play combining TE and JP has been mediocre at best. We have no threat to speak of at Tight end. The interior of our O line is very inconsistent. Even worse is our front seven. That is our biggest liability. Stroud is good, but definitely not dominant. Mitchell can be great at times, at other times he looks slow. But from there it is all downhill. Even when Schobel is healthy, he is inconsistent. The rest of our front seven basically is below avg. to sucky. They just are not athletic, simple as that. And our safeties CAN NOT COVER!!! Our biggest advantage is our return game, and coverage units. We almost always win the field position battle thanks to Leodis, Roscoe and Fred. For next season pray that TE keeps getting better, and finds the confidence bordering on cockiness. Get a tight end that can run, and please please get some pass rushers and linebackers who can make plays. It is not impossible to turn things around, but there are some glaring weaknesses that need shoring up. With the lack of talent on defense, 7-8 is right about where this team belongs.

We definitely need a tight end that can be a receiving threat. We must have the LEAST PRODUCTIVE tight end's in the league. We need at least two more studs in our front seven to rush the passer and just make plays. Have you ever seen less athletic linebackers than Poz and Ellison? And we still get nothing from our front four. Whitner is NOT GOOD..His instincts are very poor, and he is certainly not a game changer. He plays like a sixth or seventh round pick. Can he cover anyone big or small? The Bills would do well to find some new safeties because none on their roster can cover anyone. Scott is good in run support and that is where it ends. The team played with tremendous heart today. When TE is on, we will always have a chance. But we are still lacking at several key positions for us to be a contender. But a win on the road against a good team is tremendous. When was the last one we had? Does anyone even remember?

This may be unpopular, but I have a big feeling that Peters is going to pull the same stunt this offseason as last. No way is he worth huge left tackle money. If the Bills are smart, and they can find a willing partner, they should trade Peters. Chambers and the rookie Bell will not be much of a dropoff. Peters is overrated. I would trade him for a high 2nd and a high 3rd round pick. Of course I would take a 1st, but noone is probably going to give that up for him.. All you have to do is watch the film and see that he is a lazy player who is a good athlete, not great, who gets beat more than once in awhile. He takes a lot of penalties and that is from not concentrating enough. He could care less about being a Bill, so lets get what we can for him and spend our money elsewhere. For this team to move forward, guys like Peters need to be shown the door.

I totally agree with you Big Bad Boone. Our quarterbacking has been just awful with both JP and TE. Neither of them has any confidence to just wing it down the field. They are always tentative. It is amazing that both of these guys struggle so much. Our talent evaluators have missed big time on both of these guys. I can not remember what its like to have a QB under center who had confidence in himself and his teammates to continuously make plays. JP's numbers are an embarrasment. It is amazing that he is still on our roster. The guy SUCKS!!! And TE hasn't played much better. His performance AFTER throwing the 3 picks against Cleveland was the most gutless performance I have ever seen on a football field. He was AFRAID to throw the ball. What is wrong with these guys? We definitely need some competition for TE next season. A guy with some moxie and fire. Shoot I would take Brian Griese from Tampa to come in and compete. At least he can play the position.

My 9 year old son watches every Bills game with me. We talk about how he was 5 months old when we last went to the Playoffs. And now he is nine, and we still haven't gone back. He agonizes with me thru each game, but he understands that this is his team like it is his daddy's team. He will never quit on the team like the team quits on us year after year.

So what if Dick Jauron signed a three year extension. Who says it is even guaranteed? If we play poorly in our last three games, Dick is gone period. This board has gotten so caught up in Ralph is cheap. He wants to win. Why the hell does anyone own an NFL team for this long if he doesn't want to win? He sees what is happening on the field. He may be old but he is not an idiot. I am sure that Brandon will have a say in what happens. Another embarrasing performance today, and the rest of the season, and big changes will happen. Has anyone heard DJ say anything about his future with the team? He knows his neck is on the chopping block.

What is there positive to say about the state of this franchise seriously? Come on we suck bigtime. We have not been to the playoffs in nine years. That is horrific. Sullivan is the man. He calls it like he sees it. When the team plays well he is very positive. But as a columnist he is supposed to give his opinion. And I believe his opinion is similar to just about everyone's opinion on this Board about our team. We were 5-1. We are now 6-7. Our only win since the start against a team with ONE win. We have not come close to winning any of the seven losses except the Cleveland game. Our coaching and quarterbacking is among the worst in the league for the umpteenth year. The team plays with absolutely no emotion, and our defense while somewhat better than our putrid offense has almost no playmakers and can not stop a good offense. So what again is there to be positive about at this point in another lost season? And don't get me wrong friend, I love the Bills bigtime. But what Sullivan says is spot on.

I agree with you. Poz has definitely not been a gamechanger for us whatsoever. You don't look at his play and say this guy is special. It's as simple as that. He is pretty solid near the line on inside running plays, but in space his pass coverage skills are surely lacking. And who can forget Matt Cassell's touchdown run up the middle early in the Pats game. Poz was maybe 10 yards out of the play. It is too early to say that the guy sucks, but he certainly hasn't shined and taken over this defense. We have two guys on defense who have shown playmaking ability most of the season. And that is Marcus Stroud and Brian Scott. Other than those two, who has stood out and made much of a difference? The rest of our defense has been marginal at best. Forget points allowed. Our defense rarely takes over a game. Miami only scored one touchdown, but moved the ball when they needed to the entire game. We still need upgrades on defense if we want to compete for anything other than last place in our division.

I thought Marv died in the pressbox during the Monday nite game against the Cowboys. At least he looked dead to me.

Our best safety is Brian Scott who we picked up off of the street. He makes many more plays than Whitner in run support. As far as in coverage, none of our safeties make any plays. Drafting Whitner and McCargo in the first round was just terrible. That is why we are mediocre to poor every year because we draft players who are mediocre to poor every year. Whitner plays like a late round pick. He has not improved since his rookie year, and he is the smallest safety in the league. The guy looks tiny.

JP will not be even a backup on another team if he continues to play like he has for us in the past two weeks. I think he reads defenses as poorly as any quarterback I have ever seen. He has not gotten better in his recognitions and instincts in throwing the football since day one. He has a great arm, and is mobile, but lacks ANY SKILL in knowing where to throw the football on each play. Watch how many deep passes he overthrows by a lot. It is ridiculous that a professional quarterback can misfire so badly and look that confused As a team our offense had 163 yards total against a Miami defense that gave up 48 points to the Patriots. That is pathetic and unacceptable. We have scored 6 points in two games. Our offense is worse than last year which I thought was impossible. This team looks nothing like the team of the first month of the season. It is shocking. This team is in the same place as at the end of 2003 and 2005. Absolutely pathetic. I sit and watch and just cringe at how bad we look. Offensively, as BAD as any team in the league. We have to change head coaches. Jauron has lost this team. They are going thru the motions. Is anyone even coaching out there right now? I would like to see Jauron canned immediately, to start to get rid of the stench. (Less accountability on this team, than just about any in the NFL. Lynch played just horribly as well, and looked like he really didn't care. Need much more out of a player of his caliber. Players have stopped playing hard for Dick. SAD, SAD,SAD,SAD

I wish we had Randy Moss. And you should too. Trent has not shown enough promise to warrant being handed the starting job next year. We need to bring a veteran in to compete with him. As for Jauron, who cares what knowledge he has. He can not coach our team to victory against any team that is half decent. He does not get the most out of our players. His schemes NEVER confuse the opponent. Wow, the players praise him. Who cares. They don't play to win, and that is because of good ole Dick. They don't play with confidence. Look at Atlanta my friend. A new coach with a good personel guy, and they have turned it around in one season. Like I wrote in an earlier post. If we lose Sunday, it will all come down and the season will end in a train wreck.

That says it all. We never come out strong in a big game. We always play small. The two reasons are that we have consistently poor quarterbacking whenever we play an above average team. And we are almost always outcoached. Does Jauron act like a leader of men in the most intense sport in the world? Of course not. Noone on this board can disagree with that fact. I believe there is a good chance we lose our last four games. It all hinges on this week's game. If we lose to the Fish our season is over. We will than get buried in our last three games. Lets see how this team comes out and executes. If they are flat, weak and mistake prone, this will be the start of the end of the DJ era. Freefall if we lose. Heads will start to role. A wasted three years. But we can always have hope that the next coach will get it, and coach to win.

You are splitting hairs if you want to compare our team being better than the one in 2005. We had a horrible JP Losman and a marginal Kelly Holcomb as our quarterbacks. Spikes went down with a torn achilles in week 4 against the Falcons. From their things unraveled. The point is that this year we started out 5-1 against a very easy schedule. But the team absolutely failed to build off of beating a bunch of bad teams. The easy schedule masked the coaching staffs inability to install any sort of confidence in its players that in a tough game, against a tough team that we had the talent and moxie to prevail. We went into the tank against the Fish and Jets, when the games were close. The team played tentatively, and the coaches coached scared. We went to New England, and played with absolutely no confidence. These were our 3 divisional opponents, and their was no fire from this team in any of those games. I blame the coaches for not instilling any sense of importance in these games to the players. And than to lose to Cleveland and SF at home is inexcusable. Both of those teams are pretty much talentless. And we barely played at their level because their is no standard set by the coaching staff. Both in game planning, and motivating. If we had played any other two divisions in the league this year our record would very likely be 2-10 or 3-9. This team plays with no confidence, has no leadership on the field or the sidelines, and is one of the least physical in the NFL. I blame that on the coaching staff. The talent is not great, but not horrible. They have failed to mold this team into a winning machine. Jauron has not destroyed this team. He has failed to make it into a team. Bobby April molds his special teamers into a "UNIT" every year. I would like to see what he could do with an entire team of players. The guy at least looks like it matters to him, and he communicates with HIS players on the sidelines.

Rod Marinelli

Did you watch the game last night? The Jaguars absolutely quit on Del Rio. That team is playing worse than us. Del Rio's schtick (and that is all he has) has worn very thin. Unless the Jags win there last 4, he is gone!!! Billick or Mariucci would definitely be an upgrade over Jauron. But Billick's offenses with the Ravens were definitely offensive.

What on earth are you talking about? Things have played out and our record under Jauron is 20-24. Hardly close to being a playoff team. This team has no mental and physical toughness, and even less playmakers. We are solid at RB and CB. Our O line has the potential to be good if we can find a center and some depth at right guard. Our receivers are TERRIBLE. And we do not have a number one tight end. Worst of all is we have collectively about the worst group of QB's in the league. We need a leader who can make plays and TE is not it!!! Our front seven has NO studs. Stroud and Mitchell are OK, but do not dominate games. And our safeties do nothing. This team has won games because our special teams has usually dominated. But that will not get you to the playoffs. We need upgrades at WR, TE, C, QB, DE, DT, S, and LB. Enough said about how talented this team is.

To compete for a Superbowl we need upgrades at DE, DT, OLB, C and TE, and more competition at guard. As well as continued improvement from Trent. (We should know more about him after the next 5 games) Anyone who we can bring in at these positions that makes us better, I am all for. The Kelsay contract and whether we cut him because of how much he is owed should not be part of the equation. He is nothing better than average AT BEST, and it is time to cut bait. If Russ Brandon wants to win, Kelsay will be cut.

Stevie Johnson will hopefully become a very good slot receiver. I think he has way more upside than Roscoe as a receiver. I would definitely trade Roscoe for a third round pick. He is not a consistent factor in the offense. McKelvin and Fred Jackson are both good returners. We will not get more than a 3rd for Roscoe because he is not a major contributor on offense because he is too small and is frequently injured.

Do you watch the NFL every Sunday and Monday? There are tremendous hits being dished out in every game all game. Your topic is just plain stupid. Pro Football is the greatest game played on this earth in my opinion. Just enjoy it. The hitting is ferocious.

Playing Terrence Mghee on one leg was a brutal mistake by our coaches. Keeping him in the game after he was burned early should have gotten someone fired. McKelvin is probably the best athlete on our team. Now if we can find some studs to play in the front seven, we may actually be able to contend someday for a Super Bowl. The win yesterday was great. But overall Jauron is still garbage. I say we give him the next five games. Lets see where we end up. I need to see us go at least 9-7 if not 10-6 with us being ultra competitive in every game, otherwise it is time for a new head coach.

Your remarks are totally misguided and irrelevant. Look at the last series the Bills ran. We took a knee three straight times and gave the ball back to the Chiefs. Who than tried to throw the ball with their last few plays. The previous series on 4th and four we ran Marshawn straight into the line instead of trying a forty something yard field goal. If we wanted to run the score up, we could have thrown for an easy first down. Didn't you enjoy running the score up on another team for a change? I sure did. Good god, we have been on the other side of blowouts this entire decade. I was hoping we would score 61. But, I do agree with you that Jauron is still a lousy coach. Lets beat the 49ers, and Dolphins, and see what kind of gameplan we put together for Brett and the Jets. Than we will know if Jauron has any coaching ability left.

Ellis does look small at DE. We need a DE and a DT, and most definitely an OLB to replace Ellison who is slow and small and makes no plays at all. Our secondary is set-although I would like the FS spot to be up for grabs as Simpson still makes very few plays and looks slow in coverage. On Offense we need a C, and another WR or TE to help Trent out. If we get 5 bigtime players and TE takes it to the next level, we will be set as a contender.
