Yea!! It's open again.

You said the same thing last year. How did that work out for you? Oh, that's right. Fire up the "no talent" excuse. Sorry. The Bills had the second easiest schedule last year. Despite your obvious "hatred" for the Bills FO (3 years, and still not enough talent?), the Bills had the talent to capitalize on that schedule. The talent was wasted by a poor coach.

There is no need to cuss. This is a family friendly board.

I've tasted victory ... and I "LIKES" IT! I am back to regain my rightful place as the winner.

Looking for my 5 minutes of "winning glory"

And you still cannot dispute what BB has done since, despite trying to pin his success solely on Brady. Moss may or may not had any impact on Cassel's success (we will find out this year), but it does prove teams do not need a "great" QB to produce a winning season. By the time the Browns acquired Testeverde as a free agent prior to the 93 season, Vinny was considered a first round bust. Vinny played 6 years in Tampa Bay, produced no winning seasons, threw 77 TDs, 122 INTs, and had a completed 52% of his passes. Using your own argument against Cutler, if Vinny was really any good, why didn't he at least produce 1 winning season while in Tampa? By the time BB became coach of the Browns, Kosar was beginning his slide. It was because of Kosar's "diminishing skills" that prompted BB to seek out a replacement (this replacement became Vinny). During the 93 season, BB released Kosar in favor of Vinny. Kosar was picked up by the Cowboys as a back up, and played for the injured Troy Aikman. After the 93 season, Kosar was released by the Cowboys, signed with Dolphins, and served as a back up for 3 years before he retired. Using one of your arguments, how good was Kosar really when he never started for another team (other than for injury to the starter) after he was released from the Browns? Bledsoe was his "best" QB, and as we saw for 3 years in Buffalo, not very good. BB was so "confident" in Bledsoe's ability, he traded the QB to a division rival. I think it was safe to say BB was not afraid of facing Bledsoe twice a year. What I do not see is BB ever declaring an unsigned rookie QB to be his starting QB. Even you got to admit, that was pretty stupid for Jauron to do. So, the QB does not make the coach, correct? Cowher went to his first SB in his 4th year, after producing 4 straight winning seasons. Cowher was also able to produce a winning season while starting a QB named Kordell Stewart. "TD left a trainwreck franchise and 1st round bust QBs can leave a team in dismay for many years." That train wreck was saddled with a salary cap problem in it's first year, produced a .500 record in it's 2nd year, and a winning record in it's 4th year (the only one this decade). Still waiting for DJ to produce at least a .500 season. [1] In fact, Dan Reeves did take one of Jauron's QB's to the big dance - Chandler. Call it lucky in making the SB if you wish, but Reeves still made the NFC championship game with the same QB. Further, before you state none of those coaches could take one of Jauron's Qbs to the big game, consider nobody thought Dilfer or Rypien would be SB winners either. [2] I do not credit Dilfer for that win, but it does prove you do not need even a good QB to produce winning results. Once again, proving it's not the QB that makes the coach. So, it's not all about the QB, is it? [1] Your passive aggressive comments are boring and tedious. Stop trying to attack the messenger so you will not have to deal with the message. [2] Interesting comment, considering you were predicting a playoff appearance last year before the season started. Further, you were one of the people that wanted to see how we "DJ detractors" were going to react after the DJ coached Bills produced said winning record. Now are you trying to claim you were one of those Bills fans that felt the Bills did not have the talent, or are you just looking for a convenient excuse to cover for DJ? Furthermore, before the season started last year, I stated I had every reason to believe the Bills were capable of producing a winning season given the talent level and schedule. In looking back, I stand behind those comments, and still feel the Bills had the talent, but that talent was/is being pissed away by mediocre coaching. [3] These last 3 sentences are an interesting blend of thoughts. Despite saying this is DJ's make or break year, you are practically awarding him coach of the year by the last sentence. You are aware such geniuses like Dennis Green and Wayne Fontes have both been awarded the prestigious Coach of The Year?

A head coach with a losing record. Now time for you to answer some questions: When trying to compare BB to DJ, why do you always stop at "pre-Brady"? Why do you always try to "ignore" the success BB achieved with a QB named Matt Cassel? Second group is slightly better. Now lets see if you have the balls to answer the following questions (but since you never do, i will not hold my breath): If the QB's make the coach (as you have repeatedly tried to state), then answer the following: How do you explain this statement made by you: (of course, the implication being the "coach made the player") How do you explain BB starting a QB that had not started a single game since HS, and proceeded to produce a winning record, 2 wins coming over our own Bills? How did Cowher reach 2 SB with 2 different QBs, the first one being with a QB named Neil O'Donnell? How did Dan Reeves, Bill Parcells, Don Shula, Mike Holmgren , and Dick Vermeil reach the SB with more than one team? (Said teams also having different QBs) How do you explain Brian Billick and the Ravens winning a SB with a QB named Trent Dilfer? How do you explain Joe Gibbs winning 3 SB with 3 different QBs, two of the named Doug Williams and Mark Rypien? How do you explain Bill Parcells winning 2 SB with 2 different QBs? Let's see if you are willing to answer those questions, or will you ignore them like you always do?

Exactly. There are still people on here that believe a proven loser of HC is actually a qualified winning HC because they have deluded themselves into thinking the only thing said loser HC has been missing is "talented players".

He's got his work cut out for him. I understand you have an infatuation for Edwards as some kind of leader, but you do realize even the players in the Bills locker room can't seem to agree on whether he's a leader or not: Ouch. That's like pursuing a girl, only to find out you have been put in the "friend" category. Linky

Cheekata-vegas? For real? I need to get back more.

I guess it comes to down to how a person defines "competent". Kotite was able to produce 2 winning seasons, and won a playoff game in his 6 seasons as HC. Forget about playoff wins, the "Dick" has yet to produce 2 winning seasons in his 8 years as a HC. Near the end of his six year career, even Kotite realized his coaching gaffes were costing him wins, and the "only solution" was to remove the HC. After 8 years, Jauron just figured out "he" needs to do a better job of time and game management. I now wonder how many years it will take him to figure out a solution. Hopefully, Ralph has made it clear Jauron better have a workable solution to the coaching gaffes this year, or Ralph will exercise his right to provide the "only solution" at his disposal. After 9 years of futility, I am ready for the Bills to take the next step. However, being saddled with a proven loser of a HC, the only thing I can do is "hope".

While the logic behind the argument seems ok, in reality, the logic has flaws: If teams are able to evolve quickly, then why does a Jauron coached team always seem to evolve more slowly? Again, why is winning a consistent problem for a Jauron coached team? All teams have to deal with the same exact issues, whether it's 5 degrees with 30+ winds, or 100 degrees with stifling humidity. So is part of the argument a "Jauron coached team struggles to adapt to the weather"? As for luck, just stop. Is part of the argument a Jauron coached team needs to be lucky in order to be successful? Why can other coaches be consistently successful? Are they just "luckier"? This argument would be valid if everybody (or at least the vast majority players) on the team was not used to snow and wind. That's not the case. Take a good look at the roster (even the roster from last year), and surprise yourself.

Since you are new to the board, I'll just point out this factoid has been discussed before, and it means nothing. What you need to figure out is how that stat compares to BB before and after Brady took over the starting QB spot for Pats*.

How much more opportune than the 2nd easiest schedule do you want? Favorable weather for what your players can handle? WTF? Are you serious?

By being an attention whore and a thief?

He could be making hot tea instead of cold tea. Jauron's first 2 years in Chicago, the Bears ran some "razzle dazzle" Mularkey style type of offense. Overall, the offense still blew, ranking in the mid to high 20's for points scored.

Wonder why the Phins went from 1-15 to 11-5 in one season? Maybe it had something to do with them hiring a real HEAD COACH. Going on his 4th year, we hope Jauron can break .500. To summarize: Phins went from 1-15 to 11-5 because they hired a coach that expects and demands his players to produce, while the Bills hired Jauron, a coach that hopes his players will produce, and with a few lucky bounces, maybe produce a winning record.

They did try trading him, but they botched the paperwork. Beyond that, I think they released him thinking they could not get another deal done.
