Not to mention no accountability regarding the players. Jauron always deflects criticism of the team and staff and magnanimously takes the blame. I could too, if I had a guaranteed 3 year contract. I would take the blame for global warming, the stock market, the demise of the snail darter and the Macarena.

A lot of us are in the same boat. The entire coaching staff has been an exercise in futility and Trent has assumed the personality of his HC. The entire team is woefully unprepared and Jauron rarely blames anyone for the on or off field blunders that they continue to make. Someone always seems to step on the rake game after game. It's a culture of mediocrity and unaccountability.

It's hard to be a quarterback in this league. Trent practices hard, plays hard, is intelligent and he loves to play for me. Dick Jauron

Sure it is. By one win so far.

In all seriousness, I hope you sent a letter to the Bills organization telling them the same thing you wrote above. They should know that fans are about one more pathetic loss away from a full scale revolt.

Ralph is not going to lose his customer base at all, and he knows it. If the fans refuse to fill the seats at games, Ralph starts losing money and as you pointed out, "Ralph's a successful business man". Even more to the point, Ralph is for all practical purposes, a 91 year old business man. How much longer does he put himself through this crap? If Ralph loses his customer base (i.e., fans don't fill the seats) and he starts losing money, decides to sell the team and the team ends up in LA or some other city, that's just about it for the professional sports in the Buffalo area except for the Sabres. No more football team. Bills are a distant memory, remembered by fans and ex-Bills players and that's that. So the fans are in a Catch-22. It's not like Boston for example, where you have the Patriots, Red Sox, Bruins and the Celtics. If the fans let Ralph know how unhappy they are with their wallets, it could conceivably cost them the Bills. If the fans don't buy tickets, would Ralph cave in and go get a top-tier GM and/or Head Coach to get the fans back? Would he? Maybe you would and I would. Maybe 91 year old Ralph Wilson would not. I sure as hell it doesn't end up in a stalemate.

Fewell's defense has gotten shredded over and over. The fact that they held Cleveland to 2 FG's is nothing to brag about. Fewell as HC makes no sense whatsoever. Either does April at this point. There's really not much to save regarding the coaching staff. AVP is OC only because Snert got himself fired, not because AVP earned it. Ralph is almost certainly going to wait it out to the end of the season. He dislikes paying fired employees. He will still have to eat 2 years on Jauron's contract if he fires him at the end of the season. In fact, it wouldn't shock me terribly if Ralph brought Jauron back next year. Hell, why not keep Jauron till the end of the season and let him finish nailing his own head-coaching coffin shut?

No. It's hard to win in the NFL, especially at home in front of people who are making a lot of noise and moving around.

Ralph giving Jauron a 3 year extension just before the team fell off the cliff is possibly the worst decision in Bills history. I submit that the con job the Bills laid on TO is the best ever in the NFL.

I just thought I would point out that Dick is a non-football person too.

You forgot, "Jauron, against every reason in the universe, is retained."

Fewell should have been fired immediately after last season, along with Jauron and Snert. One is gone, but the Bills are most likely stuck with the other two for the rest of what looks to be a miserable season by any account.

Holy crap! I just shot cigar smoke from my eyeballs after looking at the Raiders logo! Genius! Too effing funny!

Do you honestly think Leinart would do any better? We've got a perennial 7-9 head coach, an awful defensive coordinator (4th most points allowed) and an offensive coordinator who only has that job because the other one got canned.

NOW we're talkin'! Lights out, steel cage, Texas bullrope, no disqualification, foreign objects allowed, bring yer momma, and yer daddy too, loser leave town, death match.

The truth of the matter is that no one on this message board, unless they happen to be part of the inner circle at OBD, knows what Ralph is thinking. All we can do is look at past history and postulate from now until Ralph DOES make a decision, so have at it.

Can we get those guys on the Bills staff and have them banish Dickie the J?

Death.

Please, for the love of God, remove this thread.

This is like people refusing to go to Wal Mart and then bitching about no place to shop and higher prices when it is gone.

Crap...I tried but he's still at 3%. His family must be voting.

Ssshhh. Don't let Ralph hear you or he may start having ideas about bringing Wade back. Sssssshh.

What if April were to agree to be HC for the remainder of the year at his current salary, then negotiate at the end of the season? No out-of-pocket for Ralph and the fans would be estatic to see ANY change.

If he's watching this game, he's either puking or laughing.

The OL is in tatters, the defense - what's not injured, is gassed already, and Dickie the J is getting outcoached by Sparano again. Sparano owns Jauron and Fewell.
