the Bills have so many broken plays, and they don't seem satisfied until they break them even more....

Since it's Canada, they played an Anne Murray song to get the crowd fired up.... "You needed me.... You needed me....."

1st quarter is breaking down pretty similar to what i predicted in a thread earlier this week...all we need is a drunk canadian falling out of the stands to deflect a Lindell FG attempt....

Les Bills sont terribles ! Je ne crois pas ceci. Il n'y a aucun douzième homme !

Damn....our rushing defense has already given up 31.0896 Metres.... (trying to get into the spirit of this)

agree with some of this, and other parts are plausible. But the idea of saving "money" plays for over half the season until the team is all but out of playoff contention doesn't seem realistic.

Thurman was unstoppable in Tecmo...how i miss those days....

UB wins the MAC on the same day OJ finally gets a sentencing he deserves.... Karma tide is turning....

this is amazing....is UB withdrawing all of Buffalo's karma out of the karma bank?

So someone puts up a post with the title calling other peoples' posts "crazy," then calls people meatheads and guilty of a flock mentality for not agreeing with him? This is a sports message board, not a kid's piano recital. People are here to debate their opinions, not applaud everything that gets posted...If Jauron does it for you, fine. Others disagree. Doesn't make them meatheads or crazy. My own preference...they maintain continuity and start to win and be competitive. But I have serious doubts that Jauron can do it and would not be crushed if he was replaced. His in-game management has been sloppy...and a lot of knowledgeable football people concur.

Jauron may be full of football knowledge, but he hasn't really shown a lot in the way of application over the last half of the season. Have you ever seen another coach (and staff) mismanage time-outs, make bizarre challenges on replays, and oversee some really bizarre playcalling and keep his (their) job(s)? When was the last time we were able to say that Jauron made a key in-game adjustment? Coughlin was accused of not being able to connect with the players of today, but I don't recall criticism like this for his in-game management. Jauron may know a lot about football, and yes, he has a young team to oversee and can't go on the field and make plays. But when the coach is part of the snowball effect of a bad team and coaching becomes as much of the problem as the play on the field, it's time to change the regime. I hope Jauron and the team can reverse the trend...but not encouraged by what I've been seeing.

I'm not even from Western NY (I know enough not to call it upstate) but would probably relinquish fandom if they moved. Been a fan of the team my whole life, been to about a dozen games in Orchard Park (and many road games) and it would not at all be satisfying to see the team bring home a championship to any other city, let alone another country. Having been to many stadiums (and the lame cookier cutter, artificial vibe that surrounds each) there is no genuine football experience like a Bills game in Buffalo and the NFL would be a lesser product without it.

I may not be a great chef, but I know when something tastes like crap...

My wife was also asking me what I was doing as I was muttering to myself down in the basement and venting all this in my post...I was also challenged to explain it without coming across like a raving lunatic. I think I failed in that regard. This has truly been a bizarre season.

Just before start of game, Jauron is caught off-guard by Canadian anthem, burns first time-out. Bills lose coinflip...following advice of coaching staff, Jauron challenges "heads" call, loses, and burns second time-out. Jauron peeved that Dolphins elect to receive, as he would have opted for kicking the ball had the Bills won the coin toss. 15:00 Dolphins commence long drive converting multiple 3rd downs... 13:35 Dolphins convert on 3rd and 22, defensive holding on McLovin 11:46 Dolphins convert on 3rd and 16 following sack by Kelsay...ball is jarred loose, fumble picked up by Ronnie Brown as Bills' Defense celebrates and Brown advances it for a first down 9:22 Dolphins convert on 3rd and 27, after Ted Ginn lines up in an illegal formation, runs out of bounds, runs back into field of play, pushes off on three different members of the Bills' secondary, takes off his helmet, and catches a pass on two hops with one foot out of bounds. Jauron starts blinking wildly (the signal to his staff that he wants to challenge the call), but the Dolphins get a play off before anyone can get the challenge flag out of his pocket. Dolphins drive to end zone, take 7-0 lead. Commercial break - thousands of Bills fans prepare to throw bottles of Labatt at TV screen, yet are strangely soothed by a gyrating Hawaiian girl in a grass skirt gesticulating how she needs a Five Dollar Footlong. Sadly, this brief respite from anger is ended by a rich b*tch getting a Lexus for Christmas and a argument among a family of hamburgers regarding the appropriateness of the young male hamburger selling himself for a dollar. 4:41 Bills take kick-off, McLovin returns it to midfield. 4:30 JP hands off to Beast Mode, who runs it down to the one-yard line 3:59 Jauron and Turk burn last time out of the half, trying to figure out the right play for first and goal from the 1 yard line. They settle on a wildcat formation direct snap to Derek Fine, who loses a yard on the play. 3:20 2nd and goal from the 2, Bills line up in empty backfield shotgun formation. JP holds ball in pocket, gets hit for fumble, recovered by Dockery. 3:17 First post on TBD calling for Hamdan 2:58 3rd and goal from the 7. QB sneak, loss of one. 2:12 4th and goal from the 8. Bills line up for field goal. Kick by Lindell deflects off of drunk Canadian falling from upper deck 2:09 First post on TBD calling for Lindell to be released Following some more commercial breaks where zero percent financing is offered for everything under the sun and Beyonce begs us all to let her "upgrade our packages" (insert pun here), the game resumes. Dolphins add two field goals and take 13-0 lead into the locker room. Sideline reporter approaches Jauron on way to locker room. Jauron instinctively starts with the, "well, obviously, we'd like to be 13-0 instead of 6-7" speech. Jauron is informed that it's only halftime. Jauron challenges and burns first time out of 2nd half, insisting that the game is over. Final Fins 20 Bills 3

let's get crazy... Chris Petersen from Boise State. He knows how to get the most out of marginal talent. I don't want another NFL retread and we're not going to lure any big names in high demand to the table to even consider this gig. The only way the Bills progress is to find the next great football mind before everyone else does and get him on the cheap.

Last Play: 4-15-BUF 14(1:13) (Shotgun) J.Losman pass short right to M.Lynch to BUF 15 for 1 yard (D.Strickland) hahahahaha...kill me now

I'd like to say that Jauron sucks at making in-game adjustments...but I've never actually seen him attempt one....

Arguing that JP is better than Trent (or vice versa) is like arguing that Jennifer Lopez was better than Ben Affleck in Gigli. We are sucking on all cylinders right now

Schouman...yeah Boise State....

I think they finally figured it out...Jauron blinks TWICE when he wants to challenge, and ONCE when he doesn't.....

what's the over-under on how many 3rd downs the niners convert on this drive? I would set the line at 2.5...

to win this game.. 1) run the ball 2) stop a 3rd and long once in a while that should do it....

Cumulative effect of several weeks...hell, several seasons...of futility. For as much as this fan base has gone through and still hung in there, a little whining for a crappy performance at home against a team we should be beating ain't such a big deal. If you want whining, check out a Pats' board

"well...obviously we'd like to be the one winning 7-0...but we're not...."
