Well Frazier must be liking all this. His asking price can keep going higher if no one else even wants the job. "I mean, if you want me to coach the Bills, sure, but it's going to cost you..."
-
Let's face it. With an owner in his 90's who has not made it clear what is going to happen to the team upon his demise, there is quite a bit more "uncertainty" associated with coaching the Bills than with most any other team out there right now.
I want a big name proven coach too, but I'm starting to believe none are going to be interested. It's not "Buffalo bashing" or disrespect for the city. But really, the team is in tatters and it's future is totally up in the air. What coach who feels they can wait things out or afford to be choosy is going to choose us?

I know from a record perspective last year may end up being better than this, but I'm loving the fact that this year we are actually beating AFC East opponents. That's job one in being competitive. Well done Bills!!
Now if we can just find a way to beat NE this year too, that'd be sweeeeeet!!

Why is that? Because upstate NY has snow and cold? Gosh, he never saw that in balmy Denver. Also, there is upside -IF he's given the control he wants:Well, if Shanahan has half of brain he wouldn't want to come to Buffalo...think about it. Bills fans might want him- that doesn't mean he wants Upstate NY. Look at the coaches who have agreed to take the job over the years- not exactly five star guys.a) The team has nowhere to go but up, he'll be considered a savior
b) On reputation alone everyone will give him at least 3 years to build a playoff caliber team
c) He's gonna gets some decent draft picks
I think the reason the "five star guys" haven't agreed to take the job over the years is there hasn't been any five star money. I mean seriously what five star guys have we even talked to in our last hunts?

I've got to say that was way worse than DJ dumb. Leading by 6 with just over 2 minutes to play and you go for it on 4th and 2 from what your own 28? That's not just having big balls, it's over the top asinine arrogance!A very stupid call, especially with no timeouts.That was DJ dumb.

At least we dont have it as bad as Cleveland fans....Derek Anderson 3-12 23yds.
Don't know about that, they did manage to beat us didn't they
-
I'll take a helping. I posted there was no chance we even sniff a victory in this game. I was wrong (and glad I was). I stil will remain skeptical though. We still have gaping areas needing improvement, but I've got to say it feels pretty good to get a win on the road against a division rival. It's been far too long.
I won't go so far as to say Fitzpatrick is the "answer". Far too little to go on to come near making that conclusion.

Based on this is a very talented team and Im pretty sure they are angry. Tell me one person that likes to lose. The Bills are on fire this weekend and you can bank on the paper jets to fall apart. Week 6 is when you see what teams are really made of. The Bills are better than you think they are.
It's going to take a lot more than the Bills being "angry" for them to even sniff a win this weekend. I've been a fan for about 40 years, and it pains me to say it but we suck this year, and I see no light at the end of this tunnel. Call me a pessimist, naysayer, whatever. At this point I'd love to be proven wrong and have to eat my words, but I just don't see it. I'll always hope for a win (miracles can happen right?), but when you look at the team objectively, they really seem to be coming apart at the seams.
But hey, it's nice to see there still are some fans keeping the (blind) faith.

Buffalo needs to win when the temps dip. They haven't done that against quality competition (remember the home Giants game in 07) in a long time.
When the temps dip? Hell they need to be able to win when it's great football weather before they worry about winning when the temps dip. For the last few years we have not been able to beat any teams with winning records, hence we get the 7-9 seasons. Now we've slipped to the point where we can't even beat the teams with losing records. We have slid too far away from where we need to be, that's for sure.
And I agree with your point, paying just enough to have a D that can at least keep you in the game into the 4th qtr (and hence make you think maybe we're CLOSE to having a winning team), is foolhardy, if you really wanted a contender team. You've got to have a great offensive line too, and at least a pretty darn good quarterback. But of course that all costs more money. How long have we been saying we need an offensive line? I think that goes back at least 7 or 8 years now.

Coy Wire in Atlanta too.

They keep showing him replays of the early 90's and he thinks
we're going to the Super Bowl!
Sigh, remember those good old days, when we'd moan because we couldn't win the Super Bowl(s)? Now we can't even with the Loser Bowl that we played in today.
-
I know I had nothing to cheer about during the game. In fact, towards the end it mostly turned to pathetic laughter on my part.
It's kind of a sick looking at a train wreck thing. You can't believe how bad it is, but you can't turn away. You say to yourself, they can't really be this bad, then the next series you say, oh, maybe they can be.
At this point, most of us are starting to wonder just how bad we are gonna suck this year. Is it going to be all time bad suckage, or just mediocre 5-7 win suckage? The hope for a winning season is fading fast in the rear view mirror. Sad when it hits that fast.
-
Yep. Telling Jason Peters to take a !@#$ing hike and get out of his office was outstanding work.
You don't understand - we just can't afford to be good!
-
I think we are in for another "O-fer". Then at the end of the year Jauron will be fired, and we'll be right back where we were after firing Wade Phillips, Gregg Williams, and Mike Mularkey. Hoping the next coach is the one to bring us back to respectability. Groundhog day!
-
Anybody still there - suffering to the end?
-
A rare chance with all day and a dump off.
Throw it to a WR anyways you !@#$nut.
to a well covered guy about to get tackled, and short of the first. Brilliant

LOL DID ANYBODY JUST HERE THAT IF YOUR WATCHING THE STREAM
Yeah, getting some heartfelt commentary now! Hilarious!! better than the game...
-
While our new Oline is holding up fairly well to the pass (given their newness), they've been doing a pretty good job at run blocking, probably better than we've had for awhile. Freddy's been taking advantage of it, I'm looking forward to seeing what Lynch can do. This could be an awesome 1-2 punch (and lord knows we need it)!

When Dick is axed, that play will serve as his obituary.
Nah, sad to say, it'll be due to something much worse than that play...

Over the past 5 years the Bills have had many stretches where they lead fans to believe that they are on the right path, however, they never really improve. Every year they do just enough to keep fans hanging on, all the while remaining mediocre at best.
Just look at '04 season where they finished the season 9-7, just missing the playoffs after the season ending loss to Pittsburgh. Everyone thought that next year was the year, and that after ripping off 10 wins in 12 games, the Bills had too much momentum to miss the playoffs in '05. After all, if the Bills could of caught a break against the Jags in the season opener they would have made the playoffs. However, the Bills then go 5-11 in '05 and all hope is lost.
That is until the Bills bring in Dick Jauron in 06', and the Bills finish 7-9. There's hope!! The Bills go 5-4 down the stretch...losing to Indy by 1, to the Chargers by 3, and to the Titans by 1. All Buffalo Bills fans are optimistic heading into '07....after all, if they only got a couple of breaks they could have made the playoffs. Hell they competed with the best in Indy and almost handed them their first loss...too bad we didnt catch any breaks in that game.
Then in '07 Losman starts the season off shaky and the fans start losing hope....until golden boy Trent Edwards comes in finishes the season 5-4 as the starter. The optimism lost due to the dismal start of the season is regained.... "if only Trent was the starter the whole season the Bills could have made a playoff run". And dont forget...the Bills competed with the "best" at the time, losing a heartbreaker to the Cowboys...too bad they couldnt catch a break in that game either.
In '08 the Bills finally start the season off hot...winning their first 4 games. But just like always, the Bills lose a heartbreaker to the Browns...if only they caught a couple of breaks. Not only do they lose to the Browns in a heartbreaker, but Trent Edwards gets hurt and J.P Losman leads the Bills to a couple of losses. Bills fans everywhere believe that if only Trent was playing during those games (i.e; Jets game), the Bills could have made a playoff run.
Sorry for the rant...and I do agree that the Bills seem as if they are on the right track...with our o-line, backs, and young d. But the past says a lot and it seems as if there are 3 constants with the Bills....1.) They always add/lose an equal amount of talent each year...they never improve their overall roster over the offseason. 2.) They have at least one heartbreaking loss a year. 3.) They never improve over the course of the year...they are the most sporadic team in the NFL. They are never consistently terrible or amazing...just average.
Finally the Over/Under for people who will read this entire post is set at 2.
That's a really good summary of the last four years. You get to the point where you feel torn as a Bills fan. You don't want to give up on them, as you want to think of yourself as a loyal fan, and they always seem to be just a little (potentially achieavable) bit short of where they need to be to step up to the playoff contender level. At the same time, part of you feels short changed, like maybe you've been playing the sucker. It seems being a Bills fan means you stay conflicted (afflicted might be a better word).

Let's see 4th and 1 with 8 miunutes something to go, in your side of the field, don't go for it. You see we wanted to reserve that gutsy call for a little later, when we were further in the hole. Then we could get the chance to really show how good we are when we go for it on 4th and 23. Pathetic...

At this point, it is looking like our D is going to have to score. They deserve one!

Maybe my fellow Saints fans on here may disagree, but I think a lot of smack is coming from "new" fans, those that started following the Saints from the past few years on. I've been a fan since the '70s and have been through some seriously rough times, including being ridiculed by other fans when I was in the Navy. So as excited as I am about our start, I'm still hesitant to declare us the NFC champs. I'll wait and see where we are later in the season before I start talking smack.
That's a good strategy. At 5-1 last year a lot of us Bills fans got overly excited (self included). Short story - it's a long season and a lot can happen.

I'm hoping that the Bills are actually as good as they appeared to be in the game against NE (the first 54 minutes anyway).
But...
there's a gnawing concern that maybe NE is nowhere near as good as they used to be, especially defensively. Let's face it they lost a heck of a lot of talent on defense. Also,Brady was really off the first half, and once he started getting in his groove in the 4th quarter we didn't seem to have the answer. As a result of all that, I can't use the first game as much of a barometer, it's going to take quite a few more games.
I'll stay hopeful, but for some reason, I have a hard time shaking the feeling that things aren't quite as good as they seemed. I don't know why, maybe there's just too much of a history of disappointment..

I keep waiting for the Jets we played to show up - with all the bad decisions/interceptions. But they are playing really tough (and smart) dammit. I think the Colts are going to have their hands full.
