Patience!!

Time to settle down everyone!  The biggest key to building a winning franchise is consistency.  If the Bills do what everyone seems to be asking and fire Jauron or fire Turk or bench Trent or whatever, we will be in for another decade of the same old crap, regardless of who they bring in as coach.  Being at 7-9 the last couple years, and maybe 8-8, 9-7 this year means that we are close.  Watching the team this year, regardless of the outcome in the W column, there is a definite improvement over the team of last year.  More talent, more depth, and even some more development of young players due to injuries to starters.  We are literally only a couple of bonehead mistakes away from being really great.  I say enough of the doom and gloom.  Let our coaches and players learn.  In order to get perspective on the whole Jauron situation, take a look at Bill Belichick's or Jeff Fisher's early coaching histories on Wiki.

I do agree with those who say Jauron needs to start playing to win, not to keep the margin of defeat down.  No punting!!!!!!!   Ever!!!!! HAHAHAHAHa.

We need to call out and make people aware of what is wrong, yes, like 90% predictability in the offense (that's just crazy).  However, the damage caused by bringing in another new offensive system would be hard to quantify,  it could take more than another whole season for it to click. 

I think after watching the MNF game the team finally hit the bottom in the 1st quarter, and is on the way back up.  Let's just sit back and get whatever enjoyment we can out of the remaining games, and forget the playoffs.  Let's hope the Bills return to the clean, mistake free, fun football we saw in the Seattle game.  Wouldn't that be great?  An outstanding showing in all 3 facets, with a couple fun trick plays mixed in?

***  One other thought -

It may seem as if we've been patient for a while with the Bills, and we have, but I believe every time they changed coaches / GMs since Marv / John Butler left, they essentially reset the timer on our patience.  From Phillips to Williams to Mularkey, each time new systems and personnel needs were catered to, which all take time to implement, whether that time was given or not.  If the Bills stick to their guns, I believe they can prevail.  Once the Bills make the playoffs a few years, then we can discuss whether changing coaches would really bring us to the next level, a la John Gruden replacing dungy in Tampa Bay.  Even then, just being patient could result in a Bill Cowher situation ie almost there, almost there, almost there, Got it!   Other teams have an advantage the Bills don't have -> playing outside the AFC East.  Call it East Coast Bias, but the AFC East is very similar to the AL East in baseball.  No team is a doormat.  The rest of the AFC in general have at least one perennial doormat in their division, not so here. 

I think we as fans should stay in a "Wait and See" state, it takes many years to build a perennial contender.  If Dick Jauron was producing Gregg Williams or Mike Mularkey type results, then, so be it.  He isn't.  The Bills are consistently a play or two one way or the other in all of their games (sans JP Losman in Arizona).   The young guys just need a little more time.  (See McKelvin, Leodis.  Up until Monday Night, everyone around here was getting readings from their "BUST" detector, a whole 9 games into his pro career)
