I just am finding it harder and harder to believe in this team this season. That loss was brutal to even watch. Brutal. Losing to bad teams is a sign of poor coaching. Like the Browns and 49ers last year. Good teams punish lesser teams on a consistent basis because their coach has them ready to play. I want to Billieve, it’s just getting difficult to do so these days

I don’t agree. The reason I don’t agree is because we have shown the same weaknesses and ineptitude, allbeit in different ways, but we are very weak on offense and at the QB position, and in turn, any positives from the defense are being nullified by the poor offensive game.

I would like to see a turn around, but the problem with that, is for the long term health of the team, every person on this staff needs to be entirely cleaned out. Even when Jauron came in, we still left guys from the previous Donahoe regime in the front office and to me, we need a complete house cleaning. So, I am looking for some positive performances, but I would rather know Jauron is out of here. I am very down on his coaching and his team.

You’re right, we are showing the same weaknesses in the same ways. But you have to admit, the coach does have to be fired. The schedule being tough is no excuse. We have to beat the good teams in order to be good…if not, we are bad, and that is what we have.

I want to win the rest of the games…I love the Bills, but I am sick and tired of the same old crappy offense and crappy coach. It is difficult to care

I am in complete agreement. We looked like a pretty good team before injuries ravaged us after week 2. We’ve hit the injury bug and we’ve hit it in a bad way. In my opinion, the biggest problem I have with the management of this team was that it appears that they were dead wrong in their judgement of how to move forward with the offensive line. Our losing ways begin and end there. We can’t get the ball to our receivers, our QB takes sacks on important downs and releases the ball to his running backs way too often, our defense wears down late in games… all of these are symptoms of an offensive line that is singlehandedly bringing down a promising season. Blame Trent all you want but our offensive line is the worst in football hands down. You will not win. Which is why I propose signing a replacement for Butler immediately, getting Bell back in action and getting this season on track. We are a good team playing with a league worst o-line. Lets start fixing the problem. I still think we can win a lot of games.

Good for you Temson. I’m now completely ready to give up on the playoffs; however, I’m not ready to give up on this team and most of the roster. I still expect to see some good football games from this team even if it results in another 7-9 type season and a house cleaning in January.

You invest so much time and energy emotionally into this team and then they go out and look like a high school football team.

There really is a lot of talent on this team but they need better direction. Last night watching the Packers game it was exciting as anything. BIG plays, both teams looked like they knew what they were doing.

I want them to be good so so so badly. Not for me, but for Buffalo, for the players on the team

I have not and will not give up on this team, but i must pull away a little. After the Pats game and after this last game against the Fins i felt sick. I want to pout like a child, look to the sky and ask why? After the Pats game i felt like i was on candid camera or some type of punked episode where they aim to crush the hopes and dreams of an un expecting fan.

Things will get better and many of the pieces already have, but they need to be put together correctly not just mashed together with the hopes that it will magically work out

its not the most dont agree, its just the same old buffalo team, the lions COULD win 10 in a row. anythings possible, most of us just felt that this was a year we proved we could do big things, and for us to be getting mentioned with the rams and raiders, its just the complete opposite of what most of us thought. not to mention its where we usually are lol. ive sounded like you plenty of times, but after years of that attitude it just gets old after awhile. i wish for one year no questions asked we’d be a top team

1. This is not the same team that took the field opening day. I don’t mean they feel different, i mean they don’t have the same tackles, the same safeties, etc etc. The injuries that have happened to this team are extremely unfortunate.

2. Trent Edwards has reverted to Mr. Hyde. He is a complete mystery to me. If I didn’t have 20 pgs of writing due in the next 48 hours for school I’d write a fanpost about it, but I just don’t understand how he can look so good sometimes and so absolutely clueless other times.

3. We’re worse than the Jets, we’re worse than the Dolphins. Yes we should have beaten the Pats, but they’ve gotten better and better since then and we’ve gotten worse and worse. Brady is no longer the sad maimed hobo who played against us, he’s Brady. The Bills aren’t the same confident young team that took the field that monday, they are a wounded shell of a corpse of a wisp of that team, and Edwards at least is playing like he knows it.

is 8-8, and that is being generous. To be completely honest I would rather win half that amount of games and grab an excellent draft pick rather than “have some momentum going into next year.” As a matter of fact, what the &$# does “momentum into next year” even mean? I’ll tell you what it means, absolutely nothing because I’ve been hearing it every year for the last 3 or 4 years. Actually, considering our front office, even with a high draft pick I’m sure we would take the worst possible option, someone who never lives up to expectations.

I apologize if this sounds like psychobabble but everyone needs to vent. I mean this is ridiculous. I realize that we have been unfortunate with injuries, but come on, a better coaching staff would develop strategy to the strengths of the team, draw up some new stuff for the next game, and abandon the no huddle. I’m not giving up on Trent because I believe a QB can progress and gain confidence as the year goes on but I’m over Jauron. The Bills are, quite possibly, the worst organization in the NFL at hiring head coaches except for Al Davis who hires guys like Tom Cable who punch people in the face.

You would think that in 10 years we could get our &%$# together by one fluke of a year, make the playoffs and make a push but I suppose that is the way the cookie crumbles.

Don’t get me wrong, I totally have not jumped ship on this season yet. I will be in the stands for every homegame rooting for our Bills but it just gets harder and harder, game by game, year by year. This has all the makings of a 3 or 4 win season and I am tempted to give up hope sooner than later rather than feel that all to familiar hollow feeling in January.

We should have depth, talent and desire…we have none. This is all on the coach and owner for not setting up a winning organization – like we had with Butler and Polian. It’s like hiring the neighbor kid to landscape your yard, then complaining that it’s not a professional job. I’ll enjoy the tailgating and the dinner parties during away games. I refuse to expect anything out of Dick Mauron except lousy coaching, to expect more is refusing to see reality.

But I am so sick of this line:

“At the same time, it isn’t as though we’ve been losing to terrible teams”

…or other excuses like it. As K pointed out above, our record against the good teams is horrendous. All of this “playing hard against the elite” & “well, we almost beat the _” means nothing in my mind. We have to win some of those game. The Bills are bullies — we beat up the weak; run from strong. Hell even the weak are starting gang up on the bully.

I’m also tired of the injury excuse. EVERY team has injuries. The only thing the injuries show (in my mind) is lack of depth.

Also, I think that we have a good chance of going 0-3 heading into the bye & I think Oakland & maybe Washington could beat us as well. IF we keep playing like we are

But, I do agree with your the title. I’ll never give up on the Buffalo Bills brand. That’s my squad. But I have given up on quite a few members of the Buffalo Bills Organization as a whole

and thanks to BuffaloSportsDailydotcom for this, but that the Bills were the FIRST team ever to start a season 4-0 and end up dead last in their division.
