SectionC3 Posted December 31, 2008 Share Posted December 31, 2008 I really love this quote “This should be a wake up call,” said Kelsay. “We have a really good thing here with coach Jauron and his staff" They have a good thing going because they have a coach who takes it easy on them! Kelsey, Butler and Preston love Dick because he keeps them on the team. Any other coach would have jettisoned there asses years ago. I totally agree on Kelsay and Preston. Funny that Kelsay and Preston, both mediocre players, are quoted making those comments. Preston's idiocy at the end of the first half against the Patriots precipitated what really was a microcosm of our season: Jauron and company come on the field and talk to the ref about how dumb our players are, while the Belichick and the Pats professionally trot off the field. As to Kelsay: make a play when it matters. The wake up call should have been missing the playoffs each of the last nine years, not the owner and the fans tiring of this mediocrity. This move is motivated by money. Ralph knows we aren't making the playoffs next year with that murderous schedule. Rather than pay two coaches and miss the playoffs, we'll keep Jauron and whack him after next year's 5-11 showing and several more weeks of "Jauron-isms": We tried really hard, but three points just doesn't get it done in this league." "We like the direction we're headed, and we expect to score touchdowns in 75% of our home games next year," etc. Hopefully, though, this makes the players accountable (not that they shouldn't have been already). They have their coach, now get the results. We should have won the division this year, so if this guy and this staff are what you say they are, do something about it next year. It's sad - I was thinking today about how Drury put pictures of the Stanley Cup all over the lockerroom before the Sabres' run. To do the same with the Lombardi Trophy at the Fieldhouse would be a joke. We can't even get a sniff of a wild card, let alone think about what should be our goal of winning a championship. Buffalo in the Super Bowl is sadly farfetched and beyond reality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The players are happy that they still get to play for their soft asz coach. Ralph Wilson will pocket $35 mil next year. Players will cash their 6 figure checks every Monday.

Shanahan's Horseshoe Posted December 31, 2008 Share Posted December 31, 2008 I love the group of underachievers that they quoted, Kelsey, Preston, Butler and Poz! Those 4 would have a hard time starting on other teams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ralph will pocket more money, because he's got the Toronto money, 56k+ who bought season tickets, and a cheap coach. You can bet they won't splurge in FA, which is to say we'll add some rookies, PR this thing like never before, and provide the same product with different wrapping paper.

Jerry Jabber Posted December 31, 2008 Share Posted December 31, 2008 linky Buffalo’s players were open in stating their support for head coach Dick Jauron as a season of unmet expectations came to a close. Those same players were obviously very pleased on Tuesday when their owner Ralph Wilson announced Jauron would be retained as head coach. “I’m very excited that Dick Jauron is going to be my head coach moving forward,” said offensive lineman Brad Butler. “He’s is the best leader I have ever worked under not only in football, but in any job I’ve ever had.” “I’ve said all along that I have the utmost respect and faith in coach Jauron and his staff and to see Ralph make that decision it’s really overwhelming at this point,” said Chris Kelsay. The players understand the fans are frustrated with no playoff berth this season, but they believe they’re better off staying the course and trying to improve off of what they did do well in 2008 despite the fact that it didn’t translate into more wins. “I can sympathize with (fans) completely,” said Duke Preston. “I think nine years without a playoff team and three years at 7-9, that’s frustrating. That’s frustrating for us, and it’s got to be even more frustrating for them because we have a say in it. But like I said yesterday I think in our day and age of instant gratification and stuff, making switches and pulling pieces apart in my mind I don’t know if that’s the best way to do it all the time.” “I think if you were to bring in another coaching staff, you’re starting from square one and you’d have to build up from there,” said Kelsay. “At least we have our fundamentals and our foundation intact and we can build on things that we need to build on instead of starting over altogether.” The players know in a season where things don’t work out the coach is the one held accountable, but most of them are of the opinion that it’s on their shoulder to get better results on Sunday. “The players, we’ve got to go out and play,” said Paul Posluszny. “It is on us, the coaches do the best job they can and on Sundays we have to go out and do our part. That is the most important thing, on Sundays we have to go out and play the game like we have been coached and like we know how to play.” “Coaches can only prepare you for Sundays and I think coach Jauron and his staff have done a great job in doing that and it’s up to us as players to execute and get the job done on Sundays,” said Kelsay. “We failed this year. Ultimately we didn’t play well enough to win more football games. Obviously the first person they look at is the head coach, but as a leader of this team and a captain I take that upon myself. We have to do our part.” Knowing Jauron’s fate was anything but certain at season’s end the players are now energized knowing he’ll be coaching them in 2009 and realize they’ve got to make the playoffs a reality next fall. “I can only speak for myself, but I know this inspires me to work that much harder this offseason,” said Butler. “And I’m confident my teammates will also be encouraged by this.” “This should be a wake up call,” said Kelsay. “We have a really good thing here with coach Jauron and his staff and we should meet the expectations of ourselves and they’re really expectations that we’re capable of meeting. I hope other people look at it in the same fashion. So hopefully this will get us motivated for this offseason and I’m already looking forward to the ’09 season.” I just don't even know where to begin critiquing this crap...The players were prepared to play? This gem is one of my favorites: "At least we have our fundamentals and our foundation intact and we can build on things that we need to build on instead of starting over altogether" A foundation and the fundamentals of mediocrity... Edit.. As I posted from an ESPN AFC Blog in another post... Let's face, Shanahan's recent track record is one of a coach who deserves to be fired. The Broncos failed to make the playoffs the past three seasons. They were a combined 24-24 in the last three seasons. That is the epitome of average. The Broncos tied the league mark for blowing a three-game lead in the AFC West. Denver lost it's the final three games of the season to finish 8-8. Those are the credentials of a coach who deserved to be fired. Bills front office already making a new batch of kool-aid, well i'm done drinking it.
