Never heard of him.

Must be related to your internet connection. I watched it live and it looked fine. No skips or anything.

True, great players go a long way to making a great coach, but how many times did Shanahan's teams look unprepared? How many times did they lead the league in penalities? How many times were they in the playoffs? Shanahan is a great coach, period. If he were to end up in Buffalo, the the world would come to and end about 3 years sooner than expected.

Ya know it's quite telling that you pick the night Ralph fires the head coach because he's not winning and come here spewing stuff like, "He has no interest in putting a competitive team on the field".

To be fair, could you possibly see anyone sitting through one of Jauron's pre game speeches and not fall asleep? It takes them a few series just to wake back up. Just about the time they get going, it's half time. And Jauron gives them a little nap time after milk and turkey sandwiches. By the time they all came out of their comas, they were home and tucked into bed.

It really doesn't get much better than: Q. What's your philosophy as head coach? A. Play like hell and win.

Keep in mind.. this is the Bills. Whatever they do, it'll backfire on them. Seriously, though, very good point. IMO, the best thing a "name" coach would do is to help establish some credibility to the franchise. It would send a message that Ralph wants to win as opposed to just fill the spot. It may or may not translate into winning, but that's how I see it.

True. Mosquitoes are just the vectors of disease-causing agents. But without the mosquito, those agents wouldn't be around. Yep. Plague, typhus, and a whole host of others things are pretty bad; but it's mosquitoes carrying diseases that kill more peoplle than any other.

About time! Jauron's a goog guy and its always bad to have to fire someone, but this really did need to happen. Here's a thought about the timing: Given Bud Adams' display at the end of the Titans game, does anyone think that maybe 2 old school owners had something more riding on that game? And losing to Bud Adams was enough to finally push Ralph over the edge? Because, lets face it, as bad as they looked, it really wasn't any worsre than they've looked several times already this season?

Yeah.... Trent may be bad. But at least he keeps the ball between the sidelines. That was a bad way to end a bad game.

Because our coaching staff has such a great record of evaluating talent and putting the best players on the field?

Correct answer: mosquitoes (in Africa or the US)

Does it really matter? Serriously?

Until I see our defensive scheme change, I'll continue to contend that Poz's biggest problem is that he runs away from the line of scrimmage, stands in the middle of the field, waits for the RB or Wr to get the ball, then runs over to help tackle. It's that wonderful Tampa 2 plan. When they let him rush the passer or attack the LOS, he seems to do pretty well most of the time. Problem is, IMO, Poz like most of our players is being utilized all wrong.

I agree. And, for me, that was perhaps the most surprising cut of the year. I could understand dealing away Peters. Agree with or not, he seemed to have crossed a line with the team. Walker, however, seemed to have a decent attitude. OK, so he may not have been enthusiastic about the move to LT, but at least he was out there every day playing the good soldier. So, when they realize he's not their guy, presumably because he was too slow for the No Huddle. But why not just bench him and have a nice safety valve just in case, oh I don't know, you're starting RT goes on IR in week 1 or 2. Sure, maybe you have to slow the offense down so the fat guy can keep up. But, he didn't seem to be a complete train wreck out there last season. I guess it just didn't go the way they would have liked. But, oh well, life sucks.

Alas, its only in the land of make believe that I can invision the Bills being successful.

I thought he was already injured. Hmmm. See I guess I did learn something new out of the PC.

According to the OP, someone you don't know dies. So, it would have to be your future wife, that you haven't met yet, dies in a car crash. I imagine that's the plot twist, they push the button and someone that is seemingly irrelavant is slated to die. But then they realize this person was going to save the would or lead the Bills to the Super Bowl or some other such achievement.

Am I the only one that hears, "It didn't go the way we wanted, but oh well life sucks."?

Says it all. No way you risk giving Manning the ball back with a short field like that. No way.

Damn. Peyton just reaffirmed how great football can be. WOW!

Holy crap! What was Belicheck thinking!!! Talk about some balls. Man I hope Manning makes him pay.

World to end.

I don't get it. What are they doing out there?

Yeah, I half expected they'd score a touch down. But, if you know anything about football, you make them do that. You just have to take that penalty. A head coach in the NFL has to know that. The single worst thing the they could do on that drive is score and our coach gave them the oppurtunity.
