Well then, his "team" is still doing better than our team. Randy Moss' team went 18-1 last year. Plaxico Burress' team won the SB last year. Having !@#$s doesnt necessarily mean your "team" is going to suck.

Just throwin it out there, but i hope the people who are badmouthing pacman and TO realize that their team is 9-5 and just got done beating the giants and were missing their qb for a month or so. TO has also had one of his teams in the SB...

I'm gonna take a lot of sh-- for it, but its gotta be the patriots. They are everything I wish the bills would be. Such good coaching and potential maximizing. I can't !@#$ing stand them as a current bills fan, but i mean if the bills were out of the equation, you gotta love a team like that. Keep this in mind: They demolish teams year in, year out, starting completely random dudes. Matt Cassel, Benjarvus Green Ellis, Sammy Morris, random cornerbacks, random wrs, and all of these guys look like stars. We draft evans, reed, parrish, hardy, and lynch all in the 1st 2 rounds of the draft and can't get sh-- out of them.

Your so !@#$ing wrong. Shut the !@#$ up. Please explain to me the talent on the team that beat us today. Or last week. Or on Monday night. We have a bunch of very good players on both sides of the ball. Let me run through them for you: offense: lynch, jackson, evans, reed, peters, trent(you can't give up on him yet, we all saw so much in the first few weeks that we all know he is and will be very good) defense: greer, mckelvin, whitner, posluszny, mitchell, debatable stroud special teams: mckelvin, parrish We are exactly 0-4 in the division, correct? We are also 0-2 against the 49ers and Browns. Could somebody please give me a talent breakdown of one of these teams that beat us and explain why exactly that talent deficit caused us to lose the game? I'm dying to hear it. If Bill Belichick can take Matt Cassel and Benjarvus Green Ellis and pretty much destroy us with them, then there is no validity whatsoever to saying that the bills don't have the talent. Our team is a very solid group and if we could get a good, new staff in here, we could definitely pull an Atlanta. Speaking of, Atlanta is led by Matt Ryan, Michael Turner, and Roddy White. Doesn't sound any better talent-wise than Trent, Marshawn, and Lee.

Post gave me chills. SO !@#$in right.

Thank you! I feel like its the influence of DJ but who knows really.

Your ridiculous. Obviously he's not a Brady/Manning, but hes not our problem either. He was definitely a top 5 player in the league for the first few weeks of the season. What you consider some of the worst quarterbacking youve ever seen in the league is taking so much other sh-- and just not paying attention to it. How was the playcalling? The run game? The receivers(no reed)? The defense? Of course he digressed a little bit, and threw a few picks, but he's still one of our better players. Get rid of Dick and see what happens. I'd really be interested to see.

Can someone explain to me exactly who was the MVP candidate in the beginning of the season that also just about single-handedly brought us back in about 4 games? Thanks... If you think QB is the problem your !@#$ing clueless. You guys flip out over a couple picks but the fact of the matter is that Brady/Manning throw picks too and their teams get over it cuz theyre not coached by !@#$ing Jauron.

Striking Differences: Bill Belichick vs Dick Jauron Striking Differences > Striking Similarities

I agree with both of you guys, believe it or not. On one hand, it pisses me off that the guy leading our team never seems to give a sh--. On the other hand, it is not necessary to be a Tomlin type to win football games. Problem is, teams seem to be a bit like their coaches. Polamalu and Tomlin are right on the same page. Belichick and Harrison are just about the same. Unfortunately, we have too many guys "just not executing well enough" and scoring minimal pts in all of our big games and nobody getting !@#$ing pissed and just going off. I would love to see Trent throw his helmet in frustration or something like that, just so we know how pumped he is. Instead, we're stuck with too much "theyre good opponents, we just gotta prepare better for next week and keep working hard" mentality. !@#$ that mentality, I've had enough of that sh--. Its completely obvious that these other teams are just tougher, more badass teams, that just go and play football. Mitchell is on the right path to being one of those guys, but Jauron and the boys overshadow that. !@#$ the coaches. Grow a set and play like men. !@#$in bills. Just posting this got me all frustrated. But seriously, what's worse than a guy killing our collective hopes and just hearing "well we need to execute better?" Someone give me an answer to that please...

Awesome way of putting it. I think we might be better than 7-9, but you're right on about the sentence above it.

Is that we're actually good. I'd rather we just suck in the first place than actually have talent and waste it. conservativeness is the worst football strategy ever.

Exactly correct. I hope your wrong with your prediction, but the post itself is absolutely right.

We beat Hasselbeck soundly, in a game where we played highly aggressive defense, so your point is invalid. Rivers actually moved the ball down the field decently well against us, until we had our few turnovers at the end, caused by a veteran play and a blitz. And I seem to remember a few Favre dink and dunk drives that we couldn't seem to stop.

Is that you Dick??? You're completely wrong. I notice these plays all game long when i watch good teams, and thats my point. I watch Tom Brady sling it all over the field. I watch Peyton Manning's arm open up running lanes. I watch the Giants D sack the cowboys 4 times and cause 4 turnovers. I watch the steelers hold the redskins to 6 points with 7 sacks. I saw the Eagles wreck the steelers earlier in the year with 9 sacks. I saw Aaron Rodgers and now Peyton Manning lose due to the titans agressive scheme. And, to refer to your "if you blitz all the time, you are so much more susceptible to the big play" comment, thats correct, but IRRELEVANT. If you never blitz, your guaranteed to give up about 9 small plays, which equal one big play. Just watch the Pennington and Favre game films buddy. If I haven't already proved my point, do the steelers and titans and giants blitz more than any other teams in the league? I believe they do. I also believe that they are all near the top in the fewest points allowed category, so apparently they haven't been too worried about giving up the big play. As everyone here is quick to point out, probably the team with the best big play ability of all time lost in the SB last year. They didn't lose because of any reason other than the defense they played against completely owning them, and just attacking brady all game long. Football is not for conservative pussies. The best teams make plays to win the games, they dont watch the other team make their own small plays. How can you defend conservativeness? Losing to the Jets and Dolphins isn't enough to pull you off the conservative bandwagon???

Can someone tell me exactly one thing jauron has done right??? His team sucks every year they have average talent, then they finally get an extremely talented team and get to 5-3, although its looking like we're headed way downhill. Every time we play a halfway decent quarterback, said qb tears us apart, as we watch him do it in our soft coverage. Every game, our offense underachieves. He just stands there on the sidelines and never does anything. If anyone here has watched the offenses of the Colts, Pats with brady, Giants, Broncos, Saints, Cowboys with romo, and eagles, they will see that such offenses actually attack the defenses. They actually call plays to move down the field instead of the same old "run into a brick wall play." If anyone here has seen the defenses of the Redskins, Steelers, Titans, and Giants, they would see that these defenses actually tend to use more than one playcall. They also tend to use 5-6 man rushes to get to the qb. They also tend to stop teams like the !@#$ing jets and dolphins. So, as you can see, coaching is a real big problem here in buffalo. Jauron sucks. So he can get a team past the seahawks and radiers, big !@#$ing deal. Wait till we get put up against the steelers in the playoffs, itll be a massacre if dick doesnt switch things around. And, the most annoying part of all, is that when we do go outside of the normal conservative sh-- and actually venture into a decent playcall, we make our biggest plays(Greer INT TDs, Mitchell sacking Rivers, Whitner sacking Russell, etc). Unfortunately, Jauron seemingly likes the results of the plays that destroy us more than the plays that help us.

Our defensive playbook is about 3 plays deep. Favre, Warner, Rivers, and Pennington have had no problem figuring that out. Our offensive strategy wastes about 40% of our plays running into a brick wall, hoping we can convert on 3rd downs. If we tried getting the 1st down on all 3 plays, maybe we would get more 1st downs. How can you think our philosophy has been good?

Just to clarify my statement, I agree with what you are saying. The overall scheme of Bills football is what loses us the game, not going for it on 4th and 1...

If anyone thinks our coaching the past few games isn't completely terrible then they are wrong. You simply cannot defend it. Its terrible. I hate to say it but Jauron has no clue.

You clearly only read about the bills on places like this message board and don't bother watching the games and forming your own opinion.

You guys are ridiculously swayed by the media and other opinions. Greer is much, much better than mcgee at corner. Lynch is just fine although his YPC isnt all that good. Whitner is a playmaker regardless of his INTs. Even though you make pick up a newspaper in Dallas or San Diego and just read about McGee, Greer's coverage is much better than his. Its not even that close. Guess who all the other teams always pick on? As to my top 10: 1. Edwards 2. Whitner 3. Evans 4. Greer 5. Lynch 6. Posluszny then theres a dropoff... 7. Stroud 8. Jackson 9. Reed 10. Mitchell Honorable mention(in this order): Peters, Walker, Parrish, McGee, Schobel Certain guys do certain things better than guys listed ahead of them(Parrish's return ability is better than 13th on the list), but overall I'd call Peters a better player than Parrish, and etc.

It should be really obvious to you guys that Jackson is better than Lynch, simply because of YPC. Benjarvus Green-Ellis has more YPC than Joseph Addai this year, so he must be way better too. Come to think of it, Correll Buckhalter is way better than Reggie Bush, too. Don't you guys read boxscores? I mean 1st you guys think whitner is good and he has 0 ints, and now you defend lynch, too? He only has a 3.7 YPC!!!! Are you guys !@#$ing stupid??? I bet you guys think Spencer Johnson is a better tackler than Rian Lindell, too. Well you're WRONG!!!! They both have 3 solo tackles this year. Fans who actually watch games and don't just read boxscores are so dumb...

Your missing what I'm saying but I can agree to disagree I guess. I don't wanna dispute the 90%, I was just making a point. I guess I didn't explicitly say this, but I was more or less referring to big plays. When we need a stop, what do we do??? I'm not talking about 3rd and 1s, or wildcat, or any other running plays. When its 3rd and 8, what defense will we be in? The cover 2. We do the same sh-- too much, whether or not it works. Cover 2, cover 3, man under, whatever. If its not working, go to something else. We really should only do stuff that works instead of beating a dead horse by running the same unsuccessful plays. To comment on Jauron, he really doesn't seem to take any control over the coordinators, even when it seems obvious that he should. Could he be doing so behind the scenes? I guess. But it really doesn't seem like it, and thats one of my biggest problems with the guy. If something isn't done right in a Pats game, Belichick fixes it. Same with Peyton and same with the Giants D. The bills don't, and Jauron will need to learn that for our playoff game, if we get there.

Whatever they played in the Cardinals and Miami games, it DIDNT WORK. It clearly WAS NOT GOING TO JUST START WORKING AT SOME RANDOM POINT IN THE GAME. Therefore, we need Perry/Dick or anyone for that matter to switch our defenses up, do some sh-- to confuse the quarterbacks. As to the Arizona game, it seemed like we may have ran a lot of cover 3, but in any case, we needed to get out of the soft sh-- and play like men. Only give a 2 yd cushion, blitz, whatever it takes, but goddamn it dont just sit in 8 yd cushions and give them 7 yd passes all game long. The San Diego game, we were in Cover 2 all game long, I witnessed it personally. They hit a 15 yd curl to Jackson/Floyd on just about every big 3rd down. Its a good thing it finally clicked in Fewell's mind to send Mitchell on a blitz, otherwise we could have been in trouble. The Miami game, it seemed like we were in a lot of cover 2, even with Scott up, it was still our basic play. Maybe they put scott on the weak/strong/camarillo side where he'll never really need to cover deep? Maybe he was only in the box on obvious running plays? In any case, our D wasn't working and we did nothing to change it. Basically, my point is, we need to change sh-- if the current sh-- isnt working. It's that simple. We have the players to do it, now all we have to do is use them. Mitchell can blitz, Greer can cover man, and Whitner can ballhawk, but if these players never get the chances, then they'll never do those things, and qbs will tear us up. As someone mentioned earlier in the thread, this defense can carry us to a 5-2 record, and probably take us to the playoff, but I can't possibly see it delivering us a playoff win, unless we do blitz and switch things up. Hopefully Fewell notices that.

EXACTLY. I don't get why we draft guys in the first round and then play them as if they don't have any talent whatsoever. I feel like this thread is really confirming I'm not the only one seeing these basic problems with our defense that Fewell is really missing.
