Looking Forward

Hmm.......where to begin?

Let's start with the coaching staff. I'm sorry Dick Jauron, but there's no way to put this politely. Losing is contagious, and that seems to be the only thing that you have done proficiently during your tenure here. Barring some unbelievable miracle, the Bills are looking at another 7-9 or 6-10 record. Now, I don't care if you're Joe Schmoe or Vince Lombardi. With the personnel that we have, amassing a record under .500 (especially three years in a row) is a major disappointment. Week in and week out this team seems uncoordinated and unprepared. Like it or not, the blame has to be placed squarely upon the shoulders of Dick Jauron. I know he can't play center, or put pressure on the quarterback, or reverse bad calls by referees, but this is his team, and has been for the past three years. Assuming the Bills finish the season at a meager 7-9, Jauron's overall record would be 21-27. Just unacceptable. Personally, I would love to see Jauron stay with the team, as the GM. He has done a fine job of building the team, just a terrible job of leading it. In my eyes, an able replacement could come straight from the division, assuming he leaves his cozy nest. Josh McDaniels, offensive coordinator for the New England Patriots, is that man. Now, I know it would take a lot to get him to leave, but for the good of Buffalo, let's assume he comes. He would automatically bring in a winning attitude, and palpable leadership, unlike Jauron. He is also willing to take chances, something Jauron is seemingly unable to do. Finally, he comes from the tutelage of Bill Belicheck, which is always a good thing. This brings me to you, Turk Schonert. Horrendous. That is the best way to describe your abilities as an offensive coordinator. You constantly run away (fitting) from the offense's strengths and force Edwards to try and beat teams by himself. Adjacent to that, You rarely let the quarterback take chances downfield or use playaction. You are just not fit for this role. I see Bronco Mendenhall, head coach of BYU, and Jim Harbaugh, head coach of Stanford, as possible replacements. Steve Sarkisian, offensive coordinator of USC, is another candidate to look at (although he may be going to Washington). Lucky you, Perry Fewell. I am sparing you from the axe. Hopefully a LB here and a DE there will get the defense to where it needs to be. We will see how they performs these last few games. I would make a few suggestions on possible draft choices, but...it;s a little too early for that

A little late on the post as I had started writing this earlier this week, but my two cents nonetheless.

Bronco Mendenhall

Is that a real name? If so he should change his last name to Nagurski.

The time has come for someone to put his foot down. And that foot is me.
