Sisyphean Bills

Maybe Russ Brandon can teach Jauron how to coach.

You are an eternal optimist, Dave. Vote with your wallet, guys.

Wrong. They just read Wilson's statement and it said very precisely that the Bills are not going to shake up the staff, they want continuity.

I nailed it the last 2 years.

Romeo beat the Bills too, but I guess he didn't blow us out so he's gone.

The staff is going nowhere. They all agreed that things didn't go perfectly this year, but they think things are headed in the right direction. Prediction: 3-13 in 2009.

Losing to the Bills = termination of employment! Or in the case of Mangini, even a Jauron gift can't save you if you stick it up against the Bills.

Discuss.

Schonert is likely to stay as well ... per NFL Network.

I took it to mean since we'll never make the playoffs with this format and at the rate we're going, they should just add a few dozen more Bowl Games to the slate, so any NFL team with 6 wins can get a trophy.

Wouldn't be easier to admit that Ralph's direction doesn't really align with your hopes and dreams and just switch teams?

How 'bout that weather, fellas?

They are the anti-Bills. They played a schedule that wasn't all cream puffs and went 8-8. They started off badly and pulled it together and started winning games at the end of the season. Matt Schaub is developing as an NFL QB. Slaton was a pleasant surprise. Andre Johnson is a stud playmaker. Their OL is finally coming together. They have a pass rush with Super Mario. DeMeco Ryans is a true playmaker in the middle. Amobi Okoye is starting to develop very nicely. Now, if they improve their secondary and maybe add some more weapons on offense, they'll be a challenger. The Bills played a schedule of cream puffs and went 7-9. They started off 5-1 and folded like a cheap lawn chair. Their QB situation is still a mystery or if you prefer a concussion with hope. Lynch got beat up again and Jackson was a surprise. James Hardy stunk. Lee Evans is invisible. The OL is still a train wreck. They have no pass rush and the front 7 is bad. They've tried to improve their secondary first and its always damaged goods by the end of the season and their approach is to create more holes and try to paper them over.

On the bright side, it is only his mouth and not his member.

There may be an anti-silver lining in it though. First, you save money by not purchasing Sunday Ticket. Second, the Bills schedule is vastly more difficult next year. That coupled with some of the player regression evidenced this year and minor tweaking of the front office and coaching staff could harbinger another Detroit Lions like fall from 7-9 to 2,3,4 wins total.

Are we officially a farm team?

Henning is now OC with the ... drum roll ... AFC East Champion, Miami Dolphins.

Fixed.

Spinning your wheels and players regressing.

Aught oh! You're running the risk of being called "JP's lover" with this stuff! BTW, I am in agreement with your comparison.

Getting outfoxed by Wade Phillips? Ouch. Definitely.

Being serious. Yeah, no news there. I think we both knew Trent was "it" over a year ago and JP was just playing out his string.

There is a clear nuance to the whole thing. JP Losman was hit by an unblocked defender and fumbled the ball and that proves that he will be bagging groceries soon. Trent Edwards was hit by an unblocked defender and fumbled the ball but it was not his fault, everyone knows it's Windy, and even if it was Dockery's fault, Trent is a rookie in his first full season. It's clear there is no comparison at all because the one happened in the Meadowlands and the other in the stadium formerly known as the Big Whipped Topping.

Cashing out before the franchise value goes any lower, eh?

Jauron was part of Coughlin's original staff in Jacksonville and they posted 3 winning seasons out of 4, and an AFC Championship game, down there before he went to the Bears after the Dave McGinnis clusterduck. That and the magical anomalous 13-3 season in Chicago seem to be his high points. Maybe he truly is a victim of venomous fate.
