Bills drop third straight in bewildering fashion

wow

Congratulations to the Browns on their first win. Was that the first time a QB won a game with the stat line Anderson produced?

The hats are going back into the closet. The magnets are coming off my Jeep. The jersey may be ripped up and tossed in the trash, but since it was a gift and it would be too good for it anyways…I’ll keep it around for a little while longer. PATHETIC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

No creativity whatsoever.

Our team is just pathetic. Maybe worse. We’re the only team the Browns have beaten in their last 12 games, and it was TWICE!

At least our pass defense numbers improve for the season!

They’ve stolen millions of dollars from the fans.

What’s the point anymore… We are now just watching the guillotine come down on Jauron’s neck… Whether it is painfully slow or quick is up to WIlson.

hoping Ralph realizes he will lose more money by keeping Jauron than by paying him to leave.

This stellar display of football……

Or watching the Angels drive a stake through the heart of “The Nation”

I cant be in a bad mood either way!

Oh and my prediction came true sorta I guess about the “Fire Richard” stuff…..and the Bills losing.

Nothing up on the BuffaloBills.com website? It was a home game this time, where is everything? I want to hear Jauron drone on-and-on about how they need to get better for next week… That always cheers me up.

Also, I hope someone has the cojones to ask him “Do you, sir, deserve to be the Buffalo Bills coach next week?”

Bills and Raiders fighting for that number one pick(which Ralph would trade away, anyway. not in the budget)

I posted this a few minutes ago in one of the fanposts, but I think everyone should read it and think about stepping back from the ledge.
The second I knew Jauron was going to be coaching again this year, I knew we had no realistic chance. Most people can’t accept the fact that this is an awful football team, and when you try to sprinkle some reality into their lives, they turn hostile and call you a hater, a pessimist, a bandwagon fan, or worse.
I still watch every game (and I have to go to a bar because I no longer live anywhere near Buffalo) and root hard, but I’m not letting the losses get to me anymore. For me, the breaking point was the Jets game last year. I suggest all other Bills fan adopt my stance. The highs are just as high, but the lows aren’t nearly as low.

 I go into every game hopeful and optimistic, but when we inevitably blow it in heart-breaking fashion, I don’t let it bring me down anymore.

Maybe I should point out that I’m also a Penn State alumni and a Cubs fan, so I’ve had lots of experience dealing with sickening losses.

He is absolutely horrible this year.

At a minimum, please bench him and give steve a chance & let him return kicks.

Ive been a bills fan for my entire life. i’ve been through the super bowls, the music city miracle…etc etc.

these past few games are just too much. seriously reconsidering for the future…

Should be no contest…30-40 point crushing sounds about right

we are seeing what a Jauron defense looks like. Not bad eh!

I think Jauron is fine to keep for the rest of the year to help the kids develop. Cowher will not sign now until things shake out.

BTW, the only joy i had today was watching the Redskins lose and I have to say, say what you will about DJ, y’all need to watch Jim Zorn’s after game press conference. At least we don’t have that guy.

Don’t know if I would have anyways if I could. I had a feeling the game would turn out like this. Oh well…..Funny thing is, I really don’t care.

Hopefully we get this thing turned around at some point, until then, it’s whatever

Brian Moorman played a good game. His punts had good hang time and he was dealing with the wind.

I also think field turf held up pretty good at the game – this i was worried about

most fans have passed the point of anger. now it’s being resigned to the reality of a hopeless situation.

the bills make me wanna POUT!!

I liked it when the one announcer on TV said that Ralph Wilson Jr. is "the greatest sports figure in western new york history. I guess he hasn’t been around Buffalo in the last, say, five years(+).

in the future, we will look back on this day and say “that’s when we stopped being mediocre. Oh no, sure we limped to a 2-14 finish, but that loss to the Browns really set us on the right track.” Instead of drafting 11th like we do every year, we’ll finally get to draft top 5! Optimism people, optimism!

If Jauron can go even lower than his 3% approval rating on ESPN.com

I can’t even describe how low things are. This is a miserable team and franchise.

Well at least hockey season is here …

 - would one drop TO from there fantasy team at this point? I’m thinking after today he is going to go into a shell. Maclin from Philly had a great day and he is available in my league. Or do you think some sap would take him in a trade?
I’m also thinking dropping the Bills D might not be a bad move. It’s hard to get points for returns with all the muffed punt/kick returns.

what a joke. Jauron: “there’s not much the guys wanna hear right now”

all I can say is that Buffalo Bill Terrell Owens is a class act. Nothing like with prior teams. I like him a lot.

After the game, with increased calls for Bills coach Dick Jauron to be fired, G.M. Russ Brandon was non-committal.

“I’m not going to comment on that,” Brandon said. “Obviously this is a low point for all of us. I feel for everyone in the organization and more importantly the fans. This is not where we expected to be right now.”

Asked whether the team’s performance would cost the fourth-year coach his job, Jauron said, “Not a question to ask me.”

seem to have a plan … seem to draft athletes with size and speed, not these undersized “cerebral, high motor” guys, make moves with the intent to get to the playoffs, not just be respectable. They get people who lead and don’t settle for mediocrity, like many of the same players who have been here for years.

Outside of our RBs and D-line, and some DBs, I can’t honestly say I really care if the rest of them come back or not, and honestly, I’m usually behind the team 100%, and this includes Edwards. If benching him means us having a better chance at winning, I’m all for it. Hockey teams bench a goalie to shake things up for the TEAM. I think this team and franchise needs a freaking wake up call.

And stop taking reject O-linemen and LBs off someone else’s scrap heap, please.

I’d give anything to have Kyle Orton in the red, white and blue.

when you have a line like Denver has had for years, most RBs and QB can look good.

This franchise needs a gigantic enema. Everyone and everything should just be purged and they should start over.

Does Belcheat chest bump players? Andy Reid? They’re all successful for the long haul and don’t need to be emotionally high all the time to be a great coach.
It’s not about the emotion, it’s about the players on the field.

We need better players (and probably a new coach) who are complete boneheads like Parrish. He’ll go right back out there, even with his idiocy. That’s a dumb player reinforced by a dumb coaching staff.

Only a lunatic would attempt to run a no huddle offense with a rookie offensive line. One very predictable result is multiple offside penalties. We have had 5 weeks of drive breaking offside calls. Please stop the madness.

but what I will say is that this proves that it is time for Jauron to go. This solidified it. Once he is gone the Bills should be able to build on the talent they have, and actually utilize it. Sorry you guys lost, regardless of whether it helps my team or not, losing still hurts.

Trent looks upset… First time I ever have seen him upset, it’s about time!

He still is trying to defend DJ but other than this was his best interview after a loss to date. He obviously would have booed himself by the way he answered the final question

and I hope Bengals and 49ers do well, there basically a team like Buffalo that finally is getting their time in the limelight. Despite the Atlanta thrashing of San Fran

is there any value in T.O. right now? as in trade value. the season is over, might as well see if we can get a 2nd or 3rd rounder in return. a contender might take a chance on him. we should dump lee evans as well. the guy sucks.

Or do the injuries to the O line account for its suckitude?

I feel ill…

Give this team the offensive line of the Patriots, and we’re a playoff contender. Everyone knew (I hope that I’m not wrong to assume) coming in to this that our offensive line was a question mark. Throw in all of the injuries, and the answer to that question became, ‘Not this year!’ I just can’t bring myself to rag on Trent given the O-line situation. I know that he still needs to learn how to win, but given his current situation, come on…. I’d be a little ‘nervous’ (to say the least), thinking about who is trying to protect me, and who is trying to crush me out there. I might miss a few passes too. Only time will tell, but I think Trent is perfectly capable of winning in this league. And I may be wrong. Been wrong before. Sorry, though, but I’m not throwing in the towel. I’ve been a Bills fan for 39 years, and as long as they don’t leave Buffalo, I’ll be a Bills fan for 20 to 30 more (I have high blood pressure already. I’m seeing 70, tops). In my opinion, keep focusing on improving the O-line. I don’t think that our team is as horrible as most of these posts are suggesting. If I’m not wrong, a lot of these people posting picked the Bills to win 5 or 6 games this year. Why the surprise when we’re 1 and 4? Just a little patience, yeeaahhhh, yeeaahhhh.

I like the o-line thinking, Not sold on Trent though…Wouldn’t it be a wonderfull last gift if Ralph tricked everybody and left this team to Jim Kelly?

What’s Todd Collins up to these days?

I know Jeff Garcia knows how to win a game

Roscoe Parrish literally handed the game to the Browns on a silver platter by fumbling a punt deep in his own territory late in the fourth quarter.

Sorry to whine, Brian, but this is a huge pet peeve of mine. There is pretty much one word in the english language you can’t use figuratively and you used it. “Literally” should only be used if Roscoe had actually gone on the field and handed a note of forfeit to Mangini on a silver platter. Come to think of it, that would have been pretty awesome. At least we’d save ourselves a few injuries along the way and I could have my Sunday afternoon back.

And sorry Brian. You really do a fantastic job with this site and your taste in TV seems pretty awesome, so I guess I can forgive you. For now.

In case you didn’t catch the UFL game between Las Vegas and California, JP Losman was 21-31 226 yds and 2 TD’s in LV’s win. It was nice to see a QB with a Bills connection lead a competent offense. They made 14 first downs via passing alone.

Yeah, it’s the Unknown Football League, but after the last two games, I don’t believe that it’s a given that the Bills could beat all of the UFL teams…or even a top SEC team for that matter. In fact, most of the players are just out of college anyway and we know that the coaching is better in the top college ranks.

Brian, perhaps now would be the appropriate time for a poll on when DJ gets the ax? My choices would be:

1. In the next day or so
2. Between the Jets game and the Bye week
3. During the bye week
4. Between the Bye week and the end of the season
5. At seasons end
6. The Bills will rattle off several wins to close out the season 7-9 and buy Jauron another year

 IN Buffalo the truth is known. The bills are not a football team, . The team is not set up to win, the attitude is not competitive and the leadership is not interested in score but the bottom line. The great tradition of this fan base is being told each week to come spend your money and expect nothing in return. after the loss even the players felt no shame and Jauron said “we did not do to bad” . I am so sorry for the wonderful Buffalo fans who are being abused by these leaders.

Thanks for the new avatar. Rather fitting I’d say.

now, let Fitz play the remainder of the year and cut him. Keep Quinn as the backup to our new QB that we either draft or sign as a FA.
