Did the baggage handler see him back at the airport?

The main thing that worries me about Jauron is his choice of offensive coaches. I'm sure the defense will be a lot better than last year, but his offensive assistant choices have been rather, well, offensive.

He couldn't fix the OLine in Houston, I doubt he would fix it in Buffalo.

I can't believe some of you hate the Pats so much that you won't admit how good they really have been. I can't stand the Patriots, hate 'em more than I hate the 'phins, and yes I was around in the '70's. But you have to give credit where credit is due. What team have we been striving to beat the past several years, what coach have we all wished we had for the past several years? The pats have been the best team in the league easily, until finally, the injuries caught up to them this year. Still, next year, who do you think is going to be the favorite in the AFC East. Its still going to be the Patriots, although they will be pushed by the 'phins. Each one of us Bills' fans wishes what happened to NE the last four years actually happened to the Bills. We would be just as cocky and arrogant as a pats fan if it did. Admit it, they are a dynasty whether we like it or not. If we can argue that the loser of 4 straight Superbowls was a dynasty, you have to admit the winner of 3 out of 4 is a dynasty, even if they were only by 3 points. Now, F___ the Pats!!! Bills in '06!

1. Fisher 2. Sherman 3. Saunders I wish we really could get Fisher. That would be awesome!

Very good post. And oh, so true!

I wouldn't break the bank for Mawae, but I would go after him for the right price. Even an old and banged up Mawae is better than what we have now.

You really can't make comparisons like this because there are a very limited number of 1st round QBs. But there are dozens and dozens of QBS from the "4th round and beyond". So of course there will be more QB's from the latter part of the drafts and UDFA to make the SB than 1st rounders. What % of 1st round QB's become starters? What % of late round and UDFA QB's even make the NFL let alone become starters? There are a multitue of reasons why your argument really doesn't fly.

That was the plan for the season and most of us thought the same thing. I don't think anyone thought our offense was going to light up the board, but most of us did expect the defense to stop someone. If the defense played as a top 10 unit this year, even with this offense, we could have won 8-10 games.

Defense already sucked before that.

I think they blew the entire JP thing. Thats why I can't stand this coaching staff any longer.

I'd like to see him stay, as long as he quits his whining about the QB's. Obviously he is going to have to take a pay cut, but our WR corps is very young, we need a veteran presence here.

The biggest disappointment this year is easily the vaunted defense. The loss of one player, even if he was our main run stopper, should not have brought this defense down from number 2 to number 28, or whatever the hell we are now. I expected a dopoff, but nothing remotely like what we have witnessed this year. Next year, these guys better shut the fug up about how great they are going to be and just go out and play some damn football. I'm disappointed in the offense, in the coaching staff, in the front offices inability to get good players for the OL, but I am absolutely DISGUSTED with the play of the defense.

If we're not going to get anyone better, we're in trouble.

Over the last couple of weeks I have lost all respect for this team and realy can't stand MM. This whole thing about JP's injury sounds way off base.

I like Chad Johnson and his celebrations. He doesn't do them to rub it into the opponent's faces, he's celebrating for fun. I can't wait to see what he does this weekend.

The problem with this thread is we're comparing a 10 year vet with a first year starter, nearly a rookie, and there's no consensus who is better. The 10 year vet should be a hell of a lot better than the rookie. When we first went down by 7, who out there thought we were coming back with Holcomb? At least with JP out there he can throw the long ball and we may get lucky and score a quick 7. Then again, once our defense decided to play like they have been playing the rest of the year, there was no chance to win with either QB.

Gotta be TD he's the architect of this mess.

The Bills were supposed to be like the Bears this season. Young QB just learning the ropes with a great defense to help him along. Ahhh, what might have been.....

Dammit, you beat me to it! I was going to say there's no way that could be true with McGahee being quoted as saying "negligible" , there's no way he knows what that means. (Yes I know the entire thing was a joke, even though it sounds like it very well could be true.) or should I say,

Considering we're going to be down quickly in this one, they'll have to give up on the run early again. I'll say he gets 14 carries for about 36 yards.

How does Jp not starting this week mean he is a quitter? Where does it say JP told the coach he couldn't play? Mularkey said earlier if JP is not able to practice enough, he won't start. Its pretty simple, but go ahead everyone, have your fun.

I would not worry about a QB this year. The OL MUST be improved before we can truly evaluate Losman or even bring in someone new and expect him to produce. Bringing in a new QB will keep us in the same boat we are in now.

Great report Nick! Enjoyed reading it. A lot of interesting tidbits in there about the team.
