IF Ralph Wilson is thinking of firing Dick Jauron, he is most certainly not going to replace him NOW with any high-priced coach from the outide. I'm not POSITIVE about that, but I'm pretty sure. If I were to suggest anything to Ralph Wilson that he might actually DO, I'd suggest that he fire DJ immediately, and replace him with his ONE assistant who has shown an ability to overcome adversity and have his unit ready to play against the best this league has to offer. That man is Alex Van Pelt. There are a myriad reasons, but the most obvious in MY mind is that AVP, unlike his two fellow Coordinators, had HIS men ready to play Monday night. Make whatever argument you want for Bobby April, but McKelvin's idiocy out there could have been prevented by better coaching, and that sh-- cost us the chance to finally get the monkey off our back. Nevermind that, since the league's rule changes, April's bunch has looked mediocre, at best. No, April has been shown to have some glaring deficiencies in his ability to adjust to new challanges, and that McKelvin thing....no way he gets the reigns now. No way. And Fewell's just out. I'm sorry, but he should have been fired along with Schonert. I mean for God's sake, it is almost always Fewell's inadequate game plans that cost the Bills games in the waning moments, almost as badly as Schonert's did when he was in charge of the offense. No, if I am Ralph Wilson, and I watch the clip of Dick Jauron's face after Freddie Jackson scored to make it 24-13 Buffalo, that look that said, "Oh God, can the clock please run out now, please?", I am finally clear as to why this team folds like a house of cards in clutch moments, while other teams rise to the occasion. We have a scaredy cat for a HC. If I need a teeny bit more reason, I think back to how I was forced to MAKE Dick Jauron fire Turk Schonert, a guy who, in the 10 days since he was replaced, has been shown up by AVP like a Mensa guy might school a preschooler. If it weren't for me, Dickie wouldn't have thought to do it.

Yes.

LMFAO. This is the internet, everybody. You tell everybody to put out their torches and put back their pitchforks for a guy who messed up a LAWN, and suddenly, you're being lumped in with neo-nazis.

Apparently, Chalkie.

Someone spray paints a !@#$ing lawn and we get 50 pages of sheer outrage. Hundreds of dogs get brutally torn apart in a dogfighting operation and three of us even gave a sh--. You guys are too much, seriously.

Bruce Smith would often shift to the inside of the Line and rush from there.

He's young enough to learn a good spin inside, unlike Schobel. I expect him to only get better at shedding linemen and going inside.

Agreed. And the LB core is getting lambasted when it was our Free Safety who needed to be there to break BOTH of Watson's catches up.

So, your TV broke at halftime, then?

1. Maybin's impact is already being felt, but without another playmaker on the D-Line, someone who can pressure the QB up the MIDDLE, teams will always be able to adjust away from pressure and own us in the second half, a-la last night. 2. Our D-Line is superb at making adjustments against the run. Our LB core? Not so much. 3. The no-huddle is the ONLY thing keeping Trent alive with this O-Line of his. 4. T.O. is the reason Jackson had the room he did. 5. Other teams make adjustments at halftime. Ours don't. Except, perhaps, for AVP, who ran a PERFECT play scheme to have us go up, 24-13. My vote is with HIM for next HC, as Ralph will certainly not hire an expensive guy from outside the club. 6. April's bunch are the most undisciplined guys in football right now. What happened to his dominance???? He looks like a chump coach right now, same as his boss. 7. Jauron looked scared after Jackson's TD to put us up by eleven. No really, go look at the film. He wiped his eyes and looked like he was gonna puke a little into his shirt. He had nothing, NOTHING, to say to his team (McKelvin) that would have prepared them for the oncoming desperation plays by NE. Instead, he just stood there like a stone and waited for the inevitable. Ralph should see that and finally get it. He needs to go, or this team will ALWAYS choke. Their flipping coach EXPECTS them to.

Preachin to the choir.

I know, you listened to the interview too, right? He laughed when he said, "Not really" because it tires him out and he was making a self-depricating crack about his own laziness. Anyone with a second-grade grasp of the English language knew that T.O. was being facetious.

Yeah, except that tonight, those runs WORKED. Big difference. I saw no jitters in Trent until that last drive with 45 seconds left and his coaches in complete disarray.

Face it, the Bills got lucky because Maybin helped our pathetic D-Line get an actual pass rush going.....in the first half, of course, before the GOOD coaches went in and made ADJUSTMENTS, and came out and had Brady take one-step drops and fire the ball out to the flat, and whatever else he did to completely stymie our pass rush. And without that, the Bills gave up yards and points JUST like they have the last six-seven years. Big shocker. I swear, at Halftime, I turned to my buddy and said, THIS is always where we lose the game, right here. This other club is going to come out of their locker room with DIFFERENT looks, and we, well, we won't. Simple as that.

I don't know why, but that made me laugh. Thanks.

You totally made me realize I left out the most important part of my thought: "when New England "inevitably" got the ball back (because, of COURSE, we would NEVER be able to sustain a drive and run the !@#$ing clock out ), he would have one less "time-out" to use. THAT is playing not to lose."

I'm not even joking. I'd make AVP Head Coach tomorrow. And I'd let him decide whether to keep Fewell and April on staff, too.

I think Dick Jauron is the Antichrist.

Let's kill the bastard. Oh wait he's probably already dead, huh.

I have never wanted to KILL someone so NICE in my entire life.

In the first game in six years that the Bills have actually LED the Pats* that late, with the oddsmakers telling you that 95% of the time, the Bills should WIN that game, and with the Bills' Offense doing EVERYTHING it needed to do the very last possession before, scoring to go up by 11 points, the coaches, both Jauron AND April, needed to make absolutely CERTAIN that McKelvin either KNELT in the flipping end zone, or dropped QUICKLY to his knees the MOMENT he made contact with a Patriot* player. IF THEY DID THIS, the chances that we lose that game are 5% or LOWER. GOOD coaches make SURE that their players know EXACTLY what to do at those critical moments. Our coaches stare at the scoreboard and wait for the inevitable loss to happen.

Dude, he had the same look on his face when we scored to go up, 24-13. He is the Fourth Horseman, I'm telling you. Anyone here who has ever shaken that douche's hand better watch both ways TWICE in traffic.

No, in fact just the opposite is true. The fact that they had him run it out meant that they wanted the two-minute warning to happen before the play ended, so that, when New England "inevitably" got the ball back (because, of COURSE, we would NEVER be able to sustain a drive and run the !@#$ing clock out ), he would have one less "time-out" to use. THAT was playing not to lose.

That was exactly my point.

You know what? F U C K YOU, you !@#$ing dickcheese. Your opinion about sh-- is about as educated as anyone else's here, so take your namecalling and shove it up your mom's ass.
