MDH Posted January 12, 2009 Posted January 12, 2009 They did fail. They won 5 fewer games than they did in 2007, and they missed the playoffs. Fail! They went 11-5 with a QB who had never started a game in the NFL before. It was simply one of those quirky things that kept them out of the playoffs. 11 wins almost always gets you in - hell, 10 wins usually does the trick. Man, I wish the Bills would "fail" like that.
The Dean Posted January 12, 2009 Posted January 12, 2009 They went 11-5 with a QB who had never started a game in the NFL before. It was simply one of those quirky things that kept them out of the playoffs. 11 wins almost always gets you in - hell, 10 wins usually does the trick. Man, I wish the Bills would "fail" like that. They pretty much did. Neither team made the playoffs. Golf course for da bodda dem.
silvermike Posted January 12, 2009 Posted January 12, 2009 Reports of the demise of the New England Patriots have been greatly exaggerated.
Beerball Posted January 12, 2009 Posted January 12, 2009 Just like this year and we tanked it.....We are far from being a division winner. At least our players are happy.
crazyDingo Posted January 12, 2009 Posted January 12, 2009 What does it say about our team when we hope all the other teams in our division begin to suck, too, to give us a chance of competing? ("Um, it says we are staying the course?") Yes. Yes it does.
Flbillsfan#1 Posted January 12, 2009 Posted January 12, 2009 Dick Jauron missed that memo & he will likely miss it next year as well.
Flbillsfan#1 Posted January 12, 2009 Posted January 12, 2009 Ya forgot to mention a Head Coach that knows how to manage a game plan & when to throw the challenge flag.
Flbillsfan#1 Posted January 12, 2009 Posted January 12, 2009 If I could ask DJ one question, I'd ask: If it is so hard to win in the NFL, why do 1/2 the teams do it every week? Hey Dick wins ALMOST 1/2 the time.
rackemrack Posted January 13, 2009 Posted January 13, 2009 Big deal. They lost Josh McDaniels. I could have been a successful offensive coordinator with the weapons he had. turk shonert could be a succesful offensive coordinator with the weapons they have
billsfreak Posted January 13, 2009 Posted January 13, 2009 It was wide open this year, and came down to the end of the season for 75% of the division. Too bad for us we are always the %25 who aren't included.
Big Turk Posted January 13, 2009 Posted January 13, 2009 right...because Bellichick has missed all those other people so much over the years?
VOR Posted January 13, 2009 Posted January 13, 2009 right...because Bellichick has missed all those other people so much over the years? No Superbowl wins since Weis and Crennel left says yes.
Sisyphean Bills Posted January 13, 2009 Posted January 13, 2009 Hey Dick wins ALMOST 1/2 the time. And, if the Bills go 16-0 next season, he'll still be below .500 lifetime.
Flbillsfan#1 Posted January 13, 2009 Posted January 13, 2009 No Superbowl wins since Weis and Crennel left says yes. I think the Pats* BIGGEST loss was the CAMERAMAN.
Hossage Posted January 13, 2009 Posted January 13, 2009 The AFC East is wide open.... Why does that seem so familiar?
OrangeJuiceSimpson Posted January 13, 2009 Posted January 13, 2009 The Patriots are going nowhere. The way Belichick coached up Cassell during the season was the stuff of legends. Early in the season, he was awful, and by the end he was a good QB. We're lucky that tiebreakers kept NE out of the playoffs because they could've won their 4th championship the way the playoffs have been going. McDaniel leaving? So what? Charlie Weiss left, Romeo Crennel left. Belichick will just take the next hard working young man and coach him into a good coach as well. Pioli leaving? Knowing the Patriots, they probably had a succession plan in place for awhile now, and Belichick has always had a lot of say in personnel matters. If he has to take on more duties wrt personnel, he'll probably succeed. Give this man a gold star. (That's not sarcasm)
Stussy109 Posted January 13, 2009 Posted January 13, 2009 Believe me when I say this. Dick Jauron would've loved to be 16-0 but they were 7-9 and they'll go from there. "and we'll take it"
PromoTheRobot Posted January 13, 2009 Posted January 13, 2009 As I look at all the changes the Pats must withstand, I question whether they will bounce back next year. Reports of Brady not being healthy for 2009, Pioli jumping ship, and Mcdaniels leaving for Denver gives me reason to think the Pats might need a couple of years to rebuild. They still have an aging defense, an aging star receiver, a QB that is in limbo, and no real identity at RB. Jets are a team in disarray.... Sophmore slump for Miami? I am always optimistic but I think the Bills may have at least a fighters chance if we can get the front office to spend some smart money in the offseason. Sometimes the best season's come at unexpected times....Let's hope this group can rally and surprise us all. Hahahahahahah! Hillarious. The Bills should be in such disarray. As long as the evil genius is still in place, nothing changes in New England. And your Miami theory? "Sophmore slump?" Is that some kind of rule? Meanwhile what have the Bills done to improve themselves? Is Dick going to get a brick to the head and suddenly understand what head coaches do? PTR
DrFishfinder Posted January 13, 2009 Posted January 13, 2009 The division was wide open THIS year, too. Hell, when Brady went down the Pats were going to be duking it out with My Yami for the AFC East cellar, as I recall.
DrFishfinder Posted January 13, 2009 Posted January 13, 2009 turk shonert could be a succesful offensive coordinator with the weapons they have ...and I could be a lottery winner!!!
