Why the hell didn't we even try to throw deep to end the first half? With nine seconds to go it is very possible to get a pass interference call and move us into field goal range. Does Coach Dick have any balls? If you take away that meaningless carry for Lynch he only carried the ball twelve times...TWELVE FRIGGIN TIMES.
JAURON, YOU ABSOLUTELY SUCK AT YOUR JOB. I'm sure your a nice guy though. Let's get a beer sometime.

I will you drive up from NC and drink with you guys if this grows. Keep spreading this around and we'll see what happens.

In final year of contract, Jauron's tenure uncertain with Bills
Associated Press
ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. -- Bills coach Dick Jauron isn't showing any signs of flinching for someone who suddenly finds himself on the hot seat.
With his familiar even-keel delivery, Jauron on Wednesday acknowledged the angry boos he heard from Bills fans following the team's latest loss last weekend. In accepting the criticism directed his way, Jauron made it clear the buck for Buffalo's ongoing meltdown stops with him.

Dick Jauron, in the final year of his contract, is 20-24 as coach of the Bills.
"It's part of the deal when you don't win," Jauron said. "You know when you don't win that there's going to be criticism and it's going to be deserved. So you go on. You try to improve and you try to do the things that'll make everyone happy: And that's win football games."
Jauron then blamed himself as the Bills (6-6) prepare to host Miami (7-5) at Toronto on Sunday.
"I'm where it stops. I'm the guy," he said. "The things that go wrong, I've got to get them corrected."
Time, though, is running out for a team that's lost five of six and in jeopardy of missing the playoffs for a ninth straight season. And time might also be running out on Jauron, who in February raised the bar of expectations by saying the Bills needed to take the next step following consecutive 7-9 finishes.
For someone who appeared secure in keeping his job following a 5-1 start, Jauron's tenure is suddenly uncertain as he completes the final year of his contract.
Jauron won't comment on his status, except to say, "I always feel like I'm playing for my job."
And the Bills have yet to announce anything publicly -- or discuss Jauron's status privately -- about the coach's future.
In October, Bills owner Ralph Wilson bluntly waved off questions by saying he doesn't talk contracts when asked about Jauron.
And that was well before the season turned sour.
The slide began with a 25-16 defeat at Miami on Oct. 26, the first of three consecutive losses to AFC East rivals that dropped the Bills from worst to first in the division standings. Following a 29-27 loss to Cleveland, the Bills rebounded with an emphatic 54-31 win at Kansas City. But Buffalo failed to build off that with an offensively inept performance in a 10-3 loss at home to San Francisco last weekend.
Jauron and his team were booed off the field and pelted by debris as they made their way up the tunnel.
"It's never a good feeling at all," Jauron said. "Obviously, you want to win for everybody, the fans are included in that. And when you don't, it's very disappointing."
Jauron and his staff have opened themselves to criticism. The offense has been slow to adjust to opposing defenses such as in the loss to Cleveland, when Buffalo didn't switch to the run until after Trent Edwards threw three interceptions in the first quarter.
Time management has also been an issue, with the team squandering timeouts to avoid delay-of-game penalties and when failing to have players lined up properly.
In Jauron's defense, injuries have been a factor. The Bills have three regulars on injured reserve, while Aaron Schobel, their top pass rusher, has missed seven games with a foot injury. Their starting defensive backfield has been depleted, with safety Donte Whitner and cornerbacks Terrence McGee and Jabari Greer all missing games due to injuries.
The Bills' offensive struggles can be chalked up to the growing pains that come with developing a second-year quarterback in Trent Edwards, who has been wildly inconsistent this season.
Though Lee Evans has questioned the offensive play-calling at times this season, the receiver defended Jauron.
"I don't think that it's valid," Evans said. "We respect him. We can communicate with him and we love him as a coach. I guess criticism comes all the time. But it's nothing taken serious here."
Jauron also has Whitner's support.
"He's done a great job around here. He's changed the culture around here from a losing attitude to guys believing that they can win," Whitner said. "It's up to us to get it done. I don't feel like he should take any criticism at all."

thanks, so I'll take that as a maybe not.

Good thread. Somebody here knows, they've just been waiting for the 237th thread like this to post it in.
Seriously, I just got home from work and guys I work with had heard different reports. I did some searching but still haven't seen anything. Has anyone given any solid confirmation either way.
-
Not sure if this has been posted, but I got a text from bb.com that McKelvin got rookie of the month honors. For al those that were calling him a bust, I have seen a lot from him the past few weeks. He seems to be a great return man, and he is becoming a very soid cover corner. Without those BS calls agaisnt him last week, the outcome might have been different.
They haven't even played a game this month! That's respect.
-
I have heard mixed reports and I would really like to know.
-
at the Bills Store for 42 minutes and counting. The radio broadcasts being replayed from previous games have me even more pissed off.
-
Dick don't like the cold because it makes him "smaller"....
Yeah, Dick gets shrinkage.
-
A lot of us have been bitching about the use of time outs. I am of the belief that early in the 2nd half, when a quarterback walks to the line of scrimmage late, looks at the play clock and realizes time is running down, TAKE THE PENALTY!!! You can always get the five yards back but you will never, EVER, get your time out back. Time outs are precious and should not be wasted.
-
Awesome post! I need a beer now.
-
Take away the indoor training facility. What good is home field advantage in Nov. and Dec. if our guys don't know how to play in cold weather either?
-
We sure see things differently. The last thing I would say about Lynch is that he chooses to avoid contact.
I know it sounds weird. Between the tackles he's a beast, but when the play stretches outside he almost always goes for the sideline. I don't even blame Marchawn for this. If we were an organization with some leadership this would have only happened once. John Gruden once said that it is "highly discouraged" for a player to run out of bounds.
-
O-line sucks AND, when given the option, he chooses to run out of bounds instead of lowering his shoulder. I have yet to see a running back break a tackle out of bounds. However, when coached properly, that can be fixed.
-
Seriously, where the hell is the press conference?
-
I don't blame our coach. We start losing every game and that doesn't help, and so that's my only knock on him, that he's not prepared. I don't really think it's as much his fault as it is Edwards not being experienced enough to take over the offense and start calling plays at the line.
From that ability he'll start to use his Stanford education and pick apart defenses with our ample talent.
Edwards shouldn't be relied on that much yet. We potentially have a stud running back but can't seem to get anything going in the running game. Why the hell do we try to run between the tackles so much? Why don't we run a toss sweep? Why not a screen? If we're all thinking this why isn't Coach Dick asking Turk to mix things up a bit. Our backs should touch the ball forty times a game.
-
The problem is simple though. The defense has been staying on the field too long, and our offense is then forced to play catch up, and we can't establish a run, leading them to know exactly what we're doing. If we get a turnover, or the D steps up, notice how exciting our Offense has responded. We just go three and out and when that stops we'll be able to catch defenses off guard.
That's what's so frustrating. It's seems so simple to fix this thing but this coach is proving weekly that he's not capable of doing it. My God, this isn't rocket surgery.
-
We have the talent though. We have Evans. Lynch. Edwards. Jackson. We have it, we just don't use it correctly. We will though. Sooner or later we'll figure this out.
Agreed. This isn't about the players. We have as much talent as any other team, we're just not using them correctly.

I knew we wouldn't beat the Pats on their home field, though that's not something you tell your players. On paper and on the field they matched up better than us in every faze of the game. If you thought that we were going to win this game today you are a complete and utter moron. Though that doesn't surprise me with some of you Bills fans. Your grasp of the game of football seems to elude even the dumbest, you included. But go ahead and be critical, that's your right. But pleas first I want you to come into this locker room and tell these players how much they suck, please do that. Tell them they suck to their faces. You can do that. After All, you've been in their shoes so you know what its like to play in the NFL. Hey, thanks again for your input.
Signed

OK Dick, that's the difference between us and a team like the Patriots. They only matched up better because they are coached better. If you think like that, the patsies won the game before it started. Also, I don't recall any of my posts where I blamed a player. Maybe I should.
-
Didn't Jauron just sign an extension?
Just promote April to Co-Head Coach of the Buffalo Bills and put Dick in the locker room during games.
-
He be speaking highly of Dutch
This is not meant to be a personal attack of Dick. However, in my opinion, he absolutely sucks at his job.
-
He's waiting to read all the idiots here. Un!@#$ing believable
Pretend your Dick Jauron and defend your performance today.
-
Why is it taking so long to hear Jauron's excuses?
I'd gladly write it for him.

Did the NFL layoffs affect the Bills store? I've been trying to contact someone there for about a half an hour and can't get anyone to pick up the phone. Nevermind, this is what I should expect from this organization.
