I like chan, I really do. But, I'm not seeing good enough results. If he retains Edwards after this season, I will be very disappointed. Since the drought has been so long, I'm all for blowing it up again. No need to be in a hurry now after all of this time has passed by. Once the pieces finally fit it will be obvious we have a winner. I don't see that happening right now. And hey, after a blow up, optimism abounds!

or long sustained titans drives or for giving up 23 points or for not getting any turnovers or for the offense not having good field possession or for not pressuring hasselbeck all day

george, is that you??

Since he is an offensive "coach" he should have a clue what a real defense looks like. He should have input and be concerned about what "his" defense can or can't do. As head coach he has the final say as to which direction the defense is going. That's the part I don't understand. The fact that he appears to be hands off and rely on his defensive coaches and coordinator and seems to be clueless about the defense. Again, as an offensive coordinator first, he should know a few things about defense. The thing that worries me most...is his answer about any possible coaching changes in his Monday presser today. When asked about possible coaches being on the hot seat or of a possible defensive coordinator change he responded with an EMPHATIC "NO". That concerns me. Unless he knows something that us fans are not seeing on the field and knows that it's not the DC's fault for fielding out of position players, then I'm really concerned with his philosophy. He and Buddy have both said they will do whatever is best for this football team. In my opinion (which also coincides with a lot of insightful and knowledgeable posters on this board), there is a problem with the coaching and design of schemes that the current defensive coordinator is using. I know Edwards was picked by Chan, but if it's not working, move on. This was Chan's mantra about talent, if it applies to players it should also apply to coaches. Success is usually hindered by stubbornness. I really hope that after this season Chan is not stubborn.

I think that with the holes they have they should just concentrate on specific areas. Fire Edwards, scrap this hybrid crap. Concentrate more on D-Line (i.e. get a good pass rushing DE) and hit the linebackers from there...start from inside out. No more gimmicky player types either.

Let me be the first to...agree with you.

Next week will be the big test for this team to see what kind of character they have. They still have a shot at the superbowl and playoffs. It all hinges on NEXT week. Who's with me? </sarcasm>

One more year and we get to start over...again...

huh? That pass was on the money.

[This is NOT an automated response...but it should be] Same old Bills year after year...

Miami has WIDE OPEN receivers. wtf!!!

Aside from Fitz's performance today, if the Bills lose PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE FIRE Edwards!!! A loss today basically means no go for playoffs so may as well try the stache for DC.

I thought you meant what would they say about the Jets...

Wow, impressive. He's talented. Thanks for sharing. I don't think an activity like this needs to be reeled in at all. Everyone needs a release from work. I'd say this is much better of a release than clubbing. Kudos to him.

That's some tempting action right there. But why to your $10? If you want to bet, how about man up and put your money where your mouth is and match the bet. How about my $10 to your $1000? Are you in for that or are you afraid to put your money where your mouth is?

Once again, I agree. It has been ridiculous. I also think that if they are going to call PI as frequently as they do when it's an ify call the penalty should be dropped to 15 yards at best rather than spot of the foul. Not sure if that is a solution or a good idea, but something has to change. Either way, there needs to be consistency on PI calls because it's been all over the place this season for many different teams and many different games.

I agree. What's the deal this year? Are the defenders supposed to let the receivers make a clean catch before they hit them all in the name of safety? What happened to getting there when the ball hits the receiver and trying to disrupt the play? I don't get it.

Fitz is fine for now. Did you only watch the game when the Bills had the ball and missed the putrid defense today??? Oh, and I'm not a Fitz apologist, he is what he is but I'm okay with him for now.

All I know is that our playoff chances are much better with a loss in this game.

Down 3 starters the defense still gave up long drives and 27 points, not missing a beat from their normal MO. I'm pretty sure my perspective is just fine, thanks.

At least the defense is sustainable. </sarcasm>

Huh? Pretty sure no one in this thread said anything about a conspiracy. Some of us just simply pointed out a bad call or two and weren't happy about it. Big difference.

You're probably right. I can understand that. Hopefully there is a good drive here. Go Bills!

That sums it up I guess. But I'm sure you were being sarcastic.
