LIBills Posted July 17, 2009 Share Posted July 17, 2009 If the Bills start out 1-3, which is very possible, and look bad in doing so, does the old man try to save face and let go of the corpse in trying to save the season. I say, of course not. What do you think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I say, of course not. What do you think? No, that would mean he would have to pay 2 coaches and once and he won't do that-assuming the corpse you are talking about is stone face Jauron.

I say, of course not. What do you think? What if the Bills start out 0-4 or 2-2 or 3-1 or 4-0? It's all possible. The one thing that you can bet your house on though? Jauron will be looking stoic on the sidelines for the Buffalo Bills all year long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I say, of course not. What do you think? No chance. Besides, 1-3 is not the end of the season by any means. No, it's not a positive way to start the season, but it's still plenty of football left to be played. I love the Bills as much as anyone, and I consider myself to be an eternal optimist, but 1-3 is not outside of the realm of reality. I can see our one win coming at home against Tampa. I think we'll put up a good fight against New England in the opener, and win against the Bucs, get blown out by the Saints, and the Dolphins game, well, i just don't know.... but if that happens, all is not lost......but no way DJ gets canned for that.

He did fire a few coaches during the season... Collier, Kay, Bullough... so it can be done. If we are 1-3, 1-4 and look bad, he might not have a choice.

I say, of course not. What do you think? No - the earliest I see them replacing DJ is 6 games in, but more likely around the bye week after or before week 8.

billsfan89 Posted July 17, 2009 Share Posted July 17, 2009 If the Bills go 1-6 or get to a point where you know they aren't going to make the playoffs than I think they fire Dick to save face with the fans and let Bobby April take over so as not to pay a second guy. Firing Jauron is really just a move they would pull in order to prevent the Bills fans from hating the team. 1-3 they still stick with Jauron the Bills would have to go something like 1-6 or 2-7.

eSJayDee Posted July 17, 2009 Share Posted July 17, 2009 ...then they'll have to go 6-6 the rest of the way to end up 7-9! Seriously, 4 games is NOT any indication of how you're gonna do. The difference between 1-3 & 3-1 could easily be 2 plays. Barring any other significant factors (player insurrection, etc) anything other than keeping the status quo until we're eliminated from the playoffs (i.e. at least 8 losses) would be impetuous and foolish.

peanuts Posted July 17, 2009 Share Posted July 17, 2009 Replace him with Tony Dungy, best man available. He would bring great character and the players would play for him. He has just as many Superbowl wins as Mike Holmgren. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I say, of course not. What do you think? If the Bills hit 9 losses at some point, Ralph will have all of the fans howling with pitchforks ready and torches lit. Not to mention TO having conniption fits by that time as well as sports writers eviscerating everybody from Ralph on down. That will either be the end of DJ right there (but I doubt it) or immediately after the last game of the season. I don't know that any marquis coach will want to take over before the season is over and he has free reign to clean house. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sitting Flutie, Keeping Jauron, signing T.O., drafting Whitner over Ngata...since when has that been a priority? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You think it will take that long for the pitchforks and torches to come out? I think there are people with pitchforks now who are just waiting to re-light the torches. The calls will start after we get killed by New England on MNF. If Skeletor pulls off a win he buys himself until Thanksgiving at least. If not, all bets are off.

However, I think Ralph will hold pat until the team hits 9 losses. He may make up his mind then, but not necessarily fire DJ until after the last game out of professional courtesy.

This team is NOT going to beat Nawlins. Not unless there is 8 inches of snow on the field and a howling 40 mph wind. I do think they "can" beat Tampa, but TB has traditionally had Buffalo's lunch. Still 1-3 after 4. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bananathumb Posted July 17, 2009 Share Posted July 17, 2009 If he fires DJ, he'll just appoint April head coach and make him do special teams at the same time. Won't cost him a cent, but it'll make fans think he's turned a corner. Ralph's smart...and cheap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just figured after getting WORKED against N.E. and losing a stunning last minute game to T.B. on a bad call/non-call/D.J. call, they pull all the stops out and man up against N.O. at home.
