I'm allowed to. I've known Mark a long time and I know his GF pretty well .

Nah, he couldn't pass that test to become a firefighter - he kept getting "excited" when they showed him pictures of fires.

I'm leaning this way as well.

Watching people work out is one thing. Standing outside the group exercise studio and licking the glass while watching the pole dancing class? Well that's another thing altogether...

Excellent advice. I subscribe to the Peter Griffin school of thought when it comes to working out with free weights. Remember, the key is to put it all in your groin and your back. Take your legs totally out of the equation. Lift with your lower back in a jerking, twisting motion.

The issue of whether Ralph will pay for a better coach after getting rid of Dick is a separate issue. Jauron is a known commodity -- he's a guy who needs everything in the world to go right to lead his team to a winning season. We know what he brings to the table. But let's keep trotting out a loser coach because the players "play hard for him." Sure, why not? I don't want to go through 2-3 more years of watching Dick's teams struggle because we might hire someone like Gregg or Mularkey. Keeping a bad/mediocre at best coach for longer than three years is no better than replacing bad coaches every three years.

Put the white shirt over your close? Is that slang?

Footrace? Come on. It wasn't a footrace. Peters whiffed. He either misread the blitz or missed the block. Either way he fugged up as bad as anyone on that play, JP, Jauron and Langston Walker included. Move on.

Two things - 1) this is the NFL, aka Not For Long league. We can't wait and hope that all the stars align and Dick somehow evolves into a good coach sometime in the next three or so years. 2) We are the Buffalo Bills. Things will never be close to perfect, so forget about Dick taking us to a 13-3 year.

The Bills will likely end the season at 6-10, and more disturbingly, 0-6 in the division. That a huge step back from last year's injury-riddled 7-9 overall and 4-2 AFC East finish. I'd say that is more than enough for even Ralph to pull the plug on Dick.

Boy, Pooj - you're putting a lot of pressure on ncdawg.

I'm gonna catch some flack for this, but I can think of another Buffalo sports contract that was supposedly negotiated and agreed to and never signed, and happened to the Buffalo Sabres...

I had to work tonight and by the time I got home the game was well in hand for the Iggles...

Unfortunately I live about 12 miles south of Cleveland Browns Stadium, so I have to hear a lot about them.. .

On the flip side, the reports of the original extension have been out there for 2+ months and neither the Bills nor Jauron have confirmed anything.

Quinn's season ended with the finger surgery, and Anderson got hurt in the closing minutes of his first game back as starter - sprained knee.

A little scary that I am agreeing with Steely, but it is what it is. Yeah, there was an article posted a few weeks ago talking about how Hardy played in a very basic offense at Indiana, while Steve Johnson was playing a pro-style offense at Kentucky. The coaches were saying that Hardy was never taught how to adjust his route based on coverage, so he's really raw from a development standpoint.

My brother has season tix and offered to take me to the finale (we'll be in town for Christmas) and I passed. I'd rather listen to the game on the radio on the drive home. I think my youngest brother is going with him, but I would understand if they boycotted the game.

Good teams also know when it's time to pound the rock and kill some clock, and which players they can trust at crunch time. The only thing more perplexing to me is the number of people defending the playcall (not saying you, jester) even after Jauron came out and admitted it was a mistake and shouldn't have put a butterfingered backup QB in that situation.

Another call that Jauron "wishes he had back" according to the WGR story. How many is that now? He admitted he screwed up the challenge a couple weeks ago (when he dropped the red flag on the sideline) - how many more mistakes has he owned up to?

Not as much as I'm tired of his teams stinking up the field...

Tim Graham drew a nice parallel to that in his blog entry: EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. -- Thirty years ago on this site, New York Giants coach John McVay signed off on a play that ended his coaching career. Buffalo Bills coach Dick Jauron might suffer a similar fate with an excruciating 31-27 loss Sunday at the Meadowlands on a call that had the New York Jets laughing in their locker room. -snip- The play was reminiscent of Joe Pisarcik's infamous Nov. 19, 1978 fumble in the waning seconds of what should have been a guaranteed Giants victory in the Meadowlands. Philadelphia Eagles defensive back Herm Edwards scooped the ball and ran it in for a touchdown. McVay finished the season and never coached again. We can only hope. LINK

His turnovers and inconsistency comes to mind. In wins this year (6 games) he is 127-181 (70.2%) with 244 Y/G, 8 TD's, 2 INTs and 2 fumbles lost for a QB rating of 102.5 In losses this year (6 games- actually 5.5) he is 87-143 (60.8%), 152.3 Y/G, 3 TD's, 8 INTs and 2 fumbles lost for a QB rating of 63.1.

No bashing here. Going into the game I had the attitude of "at this point, a loss will help more than hurt." But once they got into it, and started doing well - they sucked me back in. Now I'm pissed for getting my hopes up again, and am really kind of hoping they lose out so their record will be worse than last year and that will hopefully end Jauron's tenure.
