‘What’s certain is, these are now two 1-3 teams, but seemingly headed in opposite directions.’

‘In his third season, Edwards has morphed into J.P. Losman without the attitude.’

‘The loss was Buffalo’s worst since the infamous 56-10 defeat by New England in November 2007.’

‘”Is that what you’re looking for?” Jauron said, referring to who might be responsible for the offense’s struggles. “Then I blame myself. I’ll say it’s me and then go from there.”‘

‘The message to the Bills fan base has to be that what we are seeing on the field is unacceptable. That means major change. We have plenty of time to speculate on which names would work in a new regime (Cowher, Shanahan, Gruden etc.). But for the here and now, I think Sunday’s Disaster with the Dolphins confirms that we know the ones that won’t work.’

‘Cheer up Bills fans! It’s time to focus on the positives of the game! If you can see the glass as half full being a Bills fan doesn’t have to be so painful.’

‘Well where do you start? Buffalo went down to Miami and embarrassed themselves to a winless Dolphin team who was starting a second year quarterback. The Bills needed to have this game if they wanted any hopes of staying in the division race, and the whole team turned in a completely embarrassing performance to show that they are not playoff ready.’

‘Dick Jauron said the inability to capitalize on offense was a concern, especially late in the game. The Dolphins had the luxury of staying with the run already up three touchdowns-keeping the defense on the field over 70 snaps.’

‘The question now: Is the Bills’ season dead in the water?’

‘"I’ve been here two years and I’m 0-8 in the division. That’s very frustrating. Just losing games is very frustrating."’

‘"You saw the game, just like I did," Wilson said outside the locker room. "What do you want me to say? What do you say?"’

‘When the Dolphins weren’t sacking Edwards, they put so much pressure on him that he rarely had a chance to find open receivers downfield and had to throw the ball away to avoid getting hit.’

‘Jauron winless in last eight division games. That’s continuity for you. What more evidence does Ralph Wilson need that he isn’t good enough?’

‘Forty-five of the Bills 100 points allowed have come on the fourth quarter.’

‘”Does anyone out there have 1 billion I can borrow? I’d like to buy the Bills and give back to the good people of Buffalo the team they deserve.”‘
