Cynical

1. I would challenge that notion. Decent? Maybe. Great? NO. He's penchant for wasting resources on the secondary is one of the reasons why this team has little depth and is weak along the front 7. 2. This has been debated ad nauseum. I could care less if his players love him. I love my son, my wife, and my mother, but under no circumstance are they qualified and/or competent enough to be a HC of an NFL team. 3. Wouldn't matter. As we have seen, Jauron has significant influence on how the offense operates. Do you honestly expect him to just STOP because the Bills brought in somebody different? Make no mistake. The offense we see and have been tortured with these past 4 years is Jauron's 100%. Bringing in somebody different will not change a thing, as Dickie will want/demand the offense to operate in way he is comfortable with. Bottom line: As a HC, Jauron is loser, and that has been consistently proven. Even by the parameters he recognizes as the "standard".

That kind of talk would continue regardless. Whether it's about undefeated teams or 1 loss teams. The second sentence says it all. That would wipe out "better" regular season scheduling. Higher profile teams would seek out even "weaker" competition in attempt to "preserve" their record. In short, OOC games would become even a bigger joke than they are now. I do not agree at all. #9 has no chance to win, yet who's to say they couldn't have beaten team 'x'? Got 9 undefeated teams? One of them is left out. 5 undefeated teams, and 10 one loss teams? 7 one loss teams will be left out. Who decides which 3 makes it? What's the criteria? What about those conferences that have championship games? There is the potential those conferences would be 'punished' as 2 undefeated teams would play, thus potentially eliminating one of them from entering the playoff. It would make more sense for the conference to send 2 undefeated teams to the playoffs instead of one.

What are you going to do, send it COD? Ooooo, such wrath ...

Pfft. Get a real car: Linky

I could name about 4 of them right off the top of my head.

Where are the idiots before the season started that were saying this was going to be a top 10/5 defense? During the offseason, I argued drafting a pass rushing DE would be a waste of draft pick. My rational was pretty simple: a pass rushing DE is worthless when the opposing team only has to line up, and shove the ball down the Bills throat. So what did the Bills do? They drafted a one year wonder who at present is a one dimensional situational pass rushing DE. Good freaking job. It's not hard to have a better pass defense when the run defense is a POS.

Forgot to take your meds again "Thread Master"?

And such a format would create it's own set of problems, subject to debate, criticism, and cries of programs being screwed. Essentially, you would be trading one flawed system for another flawed system. But hey, as long as you're happy ...

1 winning season out of 8 On pace for 1 winning season out of 9. Even if you limit his time as HC of the Bills: 3 straight losing seasons. On pace for 4 straight losing seasons. FIRE HIS ASS.

Anything to keep bashing Peters. What a POS for allowing 2 sacks. What an overpaid POS for being ranked about the 7th best OT in the league. The Bills are SOOOOOOOOOOO much better with his replacement Bell. And to think, Bell is ranked only the 75th best. FIRST from the bottom baby!! WOO HOO!!! Take that you Peter lovers.

Hell, I would have Jauron arrested for fraud: impersonating a HC.

The best way to limit Jauron is to eliminate him. That way his loser mentality cannot infect the team.

I take it watching the same system fail for 4 years is not convincing enough to try something different. Out of curiosity, how many more years of failure will you need before you become convinced the Dick sucks? Typical Bills fan. Willing to accept "good enough". Winning record. Yeesh.

That explains it.

And as Sully pointed out, it was DJ's idea to go with the no huddle. DJ has more input regarding the direction of the offense than some people want to admit. This is his abortion.

I think it's safe to say we can stop blaming Turk for this team offensive woes. Predictability has been a problem since Fairchild. This is on Jauron and his constant demand the offense be simplified (as we learned from both Turk and DJ). I agree with the OP, Jauron has finally got his wish. He dumbed down the O to a point he's comfortable with. Too bad the O is now a joke.

1. Both the Bills OL and QB suck, so we can't just "fix" one. But you did get my point. A better QB would result in a better performance. And the same could be said for the OL. Get a better line, and even Edwards might generate an extra win. With that said, even if the Bills got a great QB and a great OL, they would still be held back by incompetent coaching.

NO. NO NO NO NO NO And HELL NO I would rather take my chances on a coordinator that has never been a HC before.

I think the obvious needs stated. Essentially, if you have one, you do not necessarily need the other. If a team has a great OL (and running attack), then a great QB is not needed. If a team has great QB, then a great OL is not needed. As bad as this team is, would anybody disagree the Bills would perform better if they had a better QB, even with the same OL?

Was he trying to run the no huddle?

Which one? Mangini or Quinn?

Would not be surprised to find out the fiasco of 89 is the biggest reason Kelly did this.

Probably why this is the perfect thread for Steely. What have we turned into ...

Not the first time a HC got to decide or had a voice in deciding who the GM would be. As for why the HC is explaining why he was fired: good for the Browns. Mangini wanted him, Mangini gets to explain why he's gone.

Just so we are clear: after 3 games, you are convinced Fitz will be nothing more than a back up. But after 4+ games this year, and 16 last year, you still think Edwards may be the answer? He just needs more time? Edwards is . At this point, he is a mental midget (football wise). The only chance he has left is to ride the bench this year, and hope a new coaching staff can straighten him out. Then maybe he can develop into a back up QB.
