I am implored Brian. But seriously, I am with you on this one. It would be one thing if the personnel decisions that Jauron has made or had his hand in were also terrible as some of his schemes, but that isn’t the case. The team is drafting well, plugging holes via FA, and the stability of the franchise is in place. He knows defense, Bobby April knows Special Teams. But the offense is left out to dry. There is no creativity, no “identity” and our best players Lynch & Evans are not utilized to their full potential.

I know another 7-9 season is not desirable, but who the heck do you think old Ralphy would go get? There is no logical choice and the pipe dreams of Bill Cowher is a 0% chance of happening. If I WERE, to vote for a new head coach it would be Bobby April if he could keep most of the staff in place. But I’m not. 3 years is great to give a coach, but not close to enough time. The roster does not need to be gutted, these players need stability as young players need guidance not a whole new staff of coaches to come in. Jauron, like it or not is here to stay. The roster will continue to get better, now we just need to hope that the OC and QB do as well

There’s actually four games to go in the regular season, Brian.

I’ve seen enough upheaval in the past 9 years, personally. We need SOME continuity as a foundation to build this team into a winner. Jauron isn’t that bad if you look around the league at the other head coaches. Certainly, axing him isn’t going to magically make the Bills a Superbowl contender.

At the same time, it is painfully obvious that upgrades are needed in personnel both on the field and on the sideline. There are some good players on this roster, and others who need to go. Some coaches who need to be both more creative and more cognizent of the need to mesh the players and the schemes to make the best fit. More teamwork and team spirit.

Being a Bills fan is a love-hate relationship. Right now, I hate’em. So much promise down the tubes this season (again). But to trash the whole thing and start from scratch would be just flat out stupid.

Hope springs eternal in April…

I don’t want to change to an experiment and that’s what we’ve done in the past (Williams and Malarkey). The really BIG names aren’t coming here even if Ralph wanted them to. If the Bills could get Schottenheimer or Billick I’d take it.

The thing that concerns me the most is the 2008 draft class does not look good at all. I know that you have to wait for some of these guys, but so far the only thing we know for for sure is that we got a good kickoff returner. The rest of this draft is still a wait and hope situation. I don’t think it’s a lot to ask to get some more immediate contribution. Other teams are certainly getting it and we have in the past as well.

at this point I’m leaning towards getting rid of Jauron. I have seen enough of his game day decision making to know that he would botch something that would cost this team a shot at the playoffs or winning a playoff game. I think some of his decision making has actually cost us at least 1 game this year so the first statement may already be true.

And I have defended him in the past as well. NO, a coaching change right now will not help this team, but I don’t know if DJ is the long term answer. I think I have finally opened my eyes to the fact that this guy is not a winner=therefore not the solution for the Bills. Clearly, his tenure in Chicago speaks for his self. Now his time in Buffalo is further more proving that logic. Teams are indeed a direct reflection of their head coach.

I will not place he entire blame of our mid season skid on DJ’s shoulders, but he and his staff must be held accountable for some of it. But more must be put on the players. DJ and his staff (for the most part) have given the team a game plan that would not lose the game for us (notice I didn’t say win But what kills me is if we can see that alot of the things they continue to do over and over and over is not working, why can’t they?

I am glad I didn’t see the game yesterday. I was too busy getting soaked watching another underachieving team (Redskins). It was upsetting looking at the scoreboard an seeing the Bills losing to San Fran. And then I had to (once again) defend my team to a bunch of ‘Skins fans. It didn’t help I was decked out in Bills gear.

But the season is not over. The Jets and the pats both lost AFC teams, and things could still work out in our favor (ha).

Look, anything less than playoffs, and this season will be a disappointment. No moral victories here folks….

can anyone in attendance comment on Tim Russert’s ceremony prior to the game? I thought we might get a little help from him and the man upstairs yesterday but obviously not! God this city is cursed

We need something .. We invested some much into our offensive line , have a great running back , chad pennington jr at QB . Lee Evans is a beast . Defense all we need is an end who was injured . Look how things are working out in Miami and ATL . We do need major improvement somewhere , if not head coach then where .? Kicker is not why .we should be getting into the end zone AHHHHHHHHHH how did this season end like this ?

there, I said it.

I understand the whole continuity issue and how the grass isn’t always greener on the other side, but at some point shouldn’t the root of the problems be examined? How can those problems not be derived from Jauron? He picked this staff. He has led the roster turnover. He has been a part of the ridiculous contracts for mediocre players. He has been outcoached routinely. He has not had his players prepared to play must-win games, let alone with them. He has been the on-field decision maker. He is the one that needs to be held accountable for a third straight 7-9 season, more than likely. We started 5-1 and are looking at finishing with a losing record. This is the leader of that, and needs to be held accountable.

Sure, maybe keeping the head guy in place and replacing the supporting parts could work, but maybe a change at the top is what is needed most. Unfortunately, with the owner we have, we’re already behind the 8ball. I just haven’t seen anything out of Jauron that inspires confidence. The players play soft, lack intensity, show no urgency and sure look to be whipped at the point of contact way too often. I don’t really see what makes Jauron such a great candidate to continue leading this team when everything he has done has been so questionable and hasn’t worked???

He’s a good guy, but not a good head coach. He’s not even an average head coach. He’s one of the worst in the league, and may even be one of the worst all time based on number of games coached. If that doesn’t say something, I don’t know what to tell you.

I know you hate the Miami and Atlanta examples, but why not? Maybe what this team needs is a change in philosophy and attitude. There is some talent here, not a lot, but there is enough to play better football than we have. I’m just sick and tired of watching this team have performances like yesterday. It’s not all on the players.

Simple as that. Juron’s head shoud be on a block if the blade hasn’t dropped already. Anything less than 9-7 shouild be viewed as a failure in the leadership. There is on way you can win 5 and then not get 3 of your last ten and keep a job.
