Heels20X6 Posted November 30, 2008 Share Posted November 30, 2008 I'd actually lean towards yes, believe it or not. I think the talent is there, but the coaching is not even close. I agree with you 100%. You try and tell me Jeff Fisher, Mike Smith, Tony Sparano, Mike Tomlin or Tony Dungy wouldn't have this team at 9-3 right now with the schedule we had this year and I will laugh in your face.

manateefan Posted November 30, 2008 Share Posted November 30, 2008 What, no comments on the play of Edwards? Of course not. It's not his fault, never is. I don't buy the groin injury. He just looked bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly my point. I'm not begging for a Cowher or any big name right now....just someone that knows how to strategize during the game and can organize a game plan that has a chance of beating the opponent. Don't forget to add John Fox to that list, btw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

guesswhosback Posted November 30, 2008 Share Posted November 30, 2008 It will continue until this city wins a pro championship of somekind or you pack up and leave this pit of misfortune. You feel this way bacause you see other cities old and new to their respective sports win championships EX.Carolina, Anahiem, Tampa Bay. Or football's Ravens and Tampa bay Bucs. Being a Buffalonian comes with the baggage of being the barren waste land of New York state. We get nothing from Albany and zero respect from the rest of the nation. The Bills were stepping stones for other teams to win Championships and the Sabres were stepping stones for Carolina and Ottawa, Philly and Dallas. It is also the way we lose, the absolute break down of the way that got us to the "Big Show" . I use the 1999 Sabres for an example we were a shut down team that took the oppostions big guns out of the game. Tight checking and good puck control with 4 lines that could score... Then that all went out the window. We choked, not resembling the team that was in the regular season or in the second season. Combine that with the dark cloud like, wide right, miracle in Memphis, no goal, no goal #2, no goal #3 and the steady stream of self inflicted gun shots to the feet and you start to carry it around like luggage, bitter and pissed looking at other teams saying " if they were in a Buffalo uniform we would still lose" . Losing has become away of life here in Buffalo. While the world lives, we die one year at a time. Soon both franchises will be gone and so will I.

BuffaloWings Posted November 30, 2008 Share Posted November 30, 2008 Of course not. It's not his fault, never is. I don't buy the groin injury. He just looked bad. Nor should anyone. Saying that Trent had any type of injury is an insult to the fans, the media, and everyone involved with this team. I'd rather DJ call out Edwards and say that this will continue to happen until he gets better. He did this last year, too. Terrible way of handling this situation.

Fewell733 Posted November 30, 2008 Share Posted November 30, 2008 1) Did you ever notice that Bills players often laugh after a penalty is called against them? McKelvin had just given up a TD, and had a s t eating grin after getting flagged. The reason for this? Nervous laughter? I am going with Dick Jauron. There is nothing to fear from this emotionless eunuch. I don't know, both the penalties called against him were laughably bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Adams Posted November 30, 2008 Share Posted November 30, 2008 Here's what I don't get. The QB has time. The running game is working. Why can't either QB complete (or even attempt) a long pass? I think the "bomb" is overrated but how about a pass that is 20 yards in the air? Do such plays exist? Are the WRs blanketed? I am not sure if the WRs aren't getting open but I know there was one 2nd and short where the safety showed blitz and Evans was 1 on 1--it would have been a great time to check out of the play and try a deep shot. Instead, 5 yard pass to Shouman. I HATE this offense and hate is not too strong of a word. Preston's 2 penalties were awesome. Strange thing is: he's not anywhere near as bad as Fowler. Edwards was awful. JP was better but still JP (taking bad sacks). I don't know why they ever stopped running. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with him. 10 whole years, eh? Try doing this for 30 years (and I'm nowhere close to others here). I have never said in any way that I'm done with this team. I still believe...and I'll take that to my grave. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Adams Posted November 30, 2008 Share Posted November 30, 2008 Another thing that bothers me as I hang up any chance at the playoffs: Why doesn't anyone ever help Lynch up after a run? He NEVER EVER gets a hand up from a lineman. I see that as both lazy lineman and lack of team cohesion. Stupid observation but it bugs me. Enjoy the next 4 games. The season is over. Goddamnit.

You try and tell me Jeff Fisher, Mike Smith, Tony Sparano, Mike Tomlin or Tony Dungy wouldn't have this team at 9-3 right now with the schedule we had this year and I will laugh in your face.If Jeff Fisher was here,Lynch and Jackson would be the best pair of backs in football and Edwards would be a better QB. Fisher would put less pressure on him being a second year QB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buffbills4834 Posted November 30, 2008 Share Posted November 30, 2008 Its been 10 years since "Bills" were in playoffs and longer since they won a playoff game. I have supporte this team for many years and bleed Red, White and Blue. Enough is enough.Please Ralph sell the team. Find a buyer, make a ton of money to give to your family and if our beloved "Bills" move they move. Watching the product this organization puts out is painful.

manateefan Posted November 30, 2008 Share Posted November 30, 2008 They probably were open, but Loser man would not throw the damb ball. He is a dumb ass. Neither could TE the Savior. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cåblelady Posted November 30, 2008 Share Posted November 30, 2008 In short, this season ended as an embarrassment. Coming into the season the Bills were probably a year or two away in terms of talent. But, as this season ends we look even worse. I'm not sure if we took a step back or if we didn't take any steps at all, but it is sad nonetheless. It starts at the top and trickles all the way down from the owner, to the coaches, to the players. But the blatant "suck" of this team has made the whole organization stink. Call me a bad fan or whatever. I am loyal enough to watch the Bills no matter their record. But enough is enough. I'm going to try denial. I'll let you know if it works.

bizell Posted November 30, 2008 Share Posted November 30, 2008 hey, bill from nyc, since you're such a proponent of keeping track of qb's wins and losses: what's trent's record now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Adams Posted November 30, 2008 Share Posted November 30, 2008 Lynch averaged 8.5/carry and had 1 carry in the 4th quarter. QB is an issue. Play-calling is a problem too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattM Posted November 30, 2008 Share Posted November 30, 2008 Of course not. It's not his fault, never is. I don't buy the groin injury. He just looked bad. It will be interesting to see if Trent is truthful about his "injury" in the postgame sessions. We all know that Jauron used the injury card so that he couldn't get called out if and when Losman sucked in the second half (and/or to salve TE's brittle psyche for getting pulled). I'm not buying it and no one else should either. Horrific decision all around. Like him or not, Trent is the future of the franchise at QB, so benching him does him no good confidence-wise. If Losman had done well, what then? Ride the hot hand as far as he'll take you (not likely to be the playoffs), watch him leave in FA and then go back to the guy you've dumped? Complete crap all around--what a f-ing joke..... My "auto response" on this point.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sisyphean Bills Posted November 30, 2008 Share Posted November 30, 2008 Of course not. It's not his fault, never is. I don't buy the groin injury. He just looked bad. The concussion moved south for the winter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
