Seasons All But Over

Jacksonville 36
Bills 14

by Coast

Another embarrassing performance by our offense. JP Losman's career as the starter of the Buffalo Bills is over. He had a shot today but again the offense was embarrassing and he was inaccurate. Yeah I agree he doesn't have any weapons, no tight end, no running game and no wide receivers. What is the point of still playing him? I am the biggest Losman backer but what is the point of playing him? He isn't going to get an extension and no he hasn't played well enough to deserve one. Is Trent Edwards the answer? Probably not but why not find out I guess. I don't even know or care as of right now to be honest.

How bad is our defense? I don't care about this bend and don't break shit. We gave up 29 points to David Garrard. Give me a break. Reggie Williams and Earnest Wilford?

(On a side note, I just saw the most embarrassing and ridiculous thing I have ever seen in my life. JP Losman just threw a pass to Josh Reed and Reed literally saw a defender and ducked. That was the most pathetic play I have seen in my life. Was that some kind of joke?)

(Side not number 2: Score update Jacksonville now leads 36-14)

Back to the defense. In the past 2 games the Bills have faced 19 drives and the opponents have scored on 15 of them. This is unofficial, I just figured that out off the top of my head but it is close to that and that is pathetic. Again no sacks. Again not even close to a sack. Actually I think we got credit for one sack because Garrard ran out of bounds but the point is our front 4 is awful. Why do we give receivers 8 yard cushions every play? Are our safeties that bad? I guess they are. It isn't like you need to worry about Reggie Williams and Earnest Wilford running by you. Jacksonville will finish this game with 416 total yards of offense. The third down defense is the worst I have ever seen. They were 9 for 16 on third downs and converted numerous third and 10 or longers. They had to have converted at least 5 third and 10 plus situations. How can you let that happen if you are a defense? The Bills have the 31st ranked defense in the league and it is starting to show. They aren't playing the Ravens and Jets and Dolphins anymore.

The offense was pathetic. Losman made bad throw after bad throw. He turned it over 3 times and all were critical. I have defended this guy all season and I can't even do it anymore. They have to make the change just to see if Edwards is good enough because if not they need to try and make a move for another quarterback if possible. Lee Evans just caught his 2nd ball. The offensive staff can't come up with something to get him the ball more. Fred Jackson was the leading receiver on our team today and he didn't even play until the second half. This defense was ranked 23rd coming into the game today and our offense looked terrible against them. Is Marshawn Lynch really that critical to our offense? I don't even know what to say really. We are running a play with 0 seconds left. Nothing to lose and we threw a 6 yard out. I really hope Steve Fairchild gets fired after the season. Have you ever seen an offense which has allegedly improved personnel wise get this much worse from one season to the next. Who did we lose from last year? Willis McGahee? Lynch is a way better player. Apparently Peerless Price was the most important part of this offense. He is the only difference I think. Steve Fairchild is the worst coordinator in recent memory. Worse than Tom Clements, worse than Kevin Gilbride, this guy is awful.

The special teams was awful today. McGee got stopped before the 20 yard line on numerous occasions. A 12 men on the field penalty on a punt was devastating as it gave Jacksonville a first down and then a 50 yard touchdown on the next play. The Bills wasted a timeout on a punt. How do you waste a timeout on a punt in the third quarter of a tight football game? Jauron just wastes timeouts and he always has. A punt is the same play every time. Just go out there and kick the football. Why would a timeout ever be needed? The Bills went offsides on a kickoff today. Jones Drew returned the kick to the 12. After the penalty Lindell kicked it out of bounds. Jacksonville got the ball at the 45. That is a 33 yard penalty and just can't happen. Who should you blame for that? The players? The special teams coach? Well all these guys work under one guy, the head coach and that who deserves the blame for the terrible play on Sundays. Brian Moorman had another embarrassing game. He has shanked an unbelievable number of punts this year. Moorman doesn't have a free pass anymore in my opinion. I am sick of seeing balls bounce in front of return men. His last punt in which he was kicking from the 40, he needed to pin them, and the ball bounced at the 25 and went out of bounds. This has been a theme this season.

I hate Dick Jauron and have wanted him to be fired all season. He won't be and therefore this team will never be a winning team. The head coach is a loser. He had one lucky winning season in his career and every other season has been a loser. The GM is a loser. Yeah we went to some super bowls but choked in every one of them. That makes him a loser in my book. I don't think guys who go places with multiple hall of famers on the roster and choke in big games should be considered a winner.

So where do the Bills go from here? The season is over. Put in Trent Edwards, maybe he is good who knows, but they need to find out.

  1. levy a loser? ouch.. the running game wasn't that bad today.. the bills need a linebacker to replace ellison the D ends to turn atheltic ko simpson to stay healthy and trent to start the rest of the season.. the bills were in it for most of the game.. frustrating to watch they can still win 10 games though

  6. For arguments sake we will say Levy makes 4 million dollars per year (I am sure this is more than he makes.) That means he will earn 10,959 tomorrow if he makes this much which he doesn't. I am sure I have already earned that much money. In fact, I have probably gambled away that much money (maybe not that much but too great of a percentage of that.)
    Marv Levy had a roster littered with hall of famers (Kelly, Thomas, Lofton, Smith, Possibly Reed, Possibly Tasker but hopefully and probably not, a top echelon offensive line, stud linebackers in Bennett, Talley and Conlan) and this guy had 4 chances to win a super bowl. He got out coached miserably in all of them. That is not a winner. When you have that much talent and you have four chances to win a game and you win zero times, you are not a winner.
