Embarrassed Yet Again...Again

-Coast

Leaving Orchard Park on November 17th, I was thinking that it couldn't get worse. There was no way I would have to witness a worse home loss this season. Well, I witnessed one the very next home game. This one was different though. I was beyond pissed off after the Browns game...but yesterday's loss was almost comical. It was a complete joke. It was a prefect display of the ineptitude of the Bills coaching staff and another example of the complete ineptitude the Bills have had of late from the quarterback position.

I have thought all along that the Bills have the worst coaching staff, more specifically, the worst head coach in the NFL. What does Dick Jauron need to do in order to prove to the Bills brass that he is completely oblivious on Sundays? The Bills wasted another 4 timeouts yesterday and we lost another 2nd half challenge. Let's begin by tearing apart Dick Jauron and the specific decisions he has to make. In the 2nd half, the Bills faced 4th and 2 from the 7 yard line. They trailed 10-3 at the time. Down by 7, Jauron felt the need to go for it knowing that a touchdown was needed to tie the game. I do not fault this decision at all, in fact, I liked the decision. Later in the fourth quarter, facing a 4th and 5 from the 22 yard line, Jauron decides to kick a field goal. He said in his post game press conference that he felt we would make the field goal, kick it away, get a stop and drive down and score and win the game in regulation. What the Bills did on offense all day that allowed Jauron to think we would march down the field and score a touchdown is beyond me. We had 3 points at home against the 49ers. Going for the first down in the first scenario and then kicking it in the 2nd scenario makes no sense. In the 2nd scenario, kicking a field goal is absolutely assenine. You kick a field goal, you still need a touchdown. You go for it and miss, you still need a touchdown. This guy is the dumbest human being alive I am totally convinced. Jauron said after the game as well that the time out wasting is a communication problem or something to that effect. That is on you as the head coach and is inexcusable. Oh yeah and coach Jauron, maybe you should have your team practice outside during adverse weather conditions once...your kickers and quarterback are complete disasters as soon as the weather turns bad. When you play home games in Buffalo, you shouldn't practice every day in the fieldhouse knowing that you are going to be playing on Sunday in 34 degrees and rain. You dumb piece of shit.

Turk Schonert was supposed to be an upgrade at offensive coordinator. Well, he isn't, wasn't, and never will be. He is the worst play caller in the national football league. Marshawn Lynch rushed the ball 16 times yesterday for 134 yards. Why he only had 16 carries is a complete head scratcher. He averaged 8.4 yards per carry. He was ripping off 10 yard runs consistently. In this type of weather, with struggling quarterbacks, Lynch should have ran the ball 30 times for about 250 yards. It was set up to be that kind of day for him, but unfortunately, it wasn't. He had one carry in the fourth quarter. HE HAD ONE CARRY IN THE FOURTH QUARTER, the most important quarter of the Bills season thus far, and the best player on the team had ONE CARRY. In the first half, the Bills faced 2nd and goal from the 2 down 7-0. They moved the ball 85 yards to get to this point. They passed twice and then missed a field goal. Does it really take rocket science to know that in this situation the play call is Lynch run left, Lynch run left, Lynch run left. Three runs, behind Jason Peters. WHY PASS, especially considering your quarterback allegedly had an injured groin. In the 2nd half, the Bills faced a 3rd down and 1 from the 49ers 6 yard line. At this point in time, Lynch had 16 carries for 134 yards and was averaging 8.4 yards per carry. We gave the ball to Fred Jackson. He lost a yard. Then on 4th and 2 from the 7...Do I need to remind everyone that Lynch was averaging 8.4 ypc in this game?...We dropped Losman back, he got hit as he threw, the ball landed at Evans feet...turnover on downs. Two drives...one of 85 and one of 75 yards...taking up 8:40 and 8:42 respectively, resulted in 0 combined points. You can blame Schonert, but in my opinion, as the head coach, you need to get in your coordinators ear and tell him you are running the football, we are averaging over 8 per carry with our 12th pick in the draft, we passed on 3 of these 4 aforementioned plays...when we only needed 2 yards. Finally, on the Bills 2nd last drive which resulted in Lindell's 2nd miss, the Bills faced 2nd and 3 from the 49er 18. We ran the ball with Fred Jackson. Again, he lost a yard. WHERE WAS LYNCH?????????????????????? JESUS CHRIST. WHY DO YOU DRAFT A GUY 12 OVERALL? IN CRUNCH TIME YOU ARE GIVING THE FOOTBALL TO A DUDE FROM COE COLLEGE? ARE YOU KIDDING ME? LYNCH AVERAGED 8.4 YPC AND GOT ONE CARRY IN THE 4TH QUARTER.

The Bills don't have a quarterback. My theory is that Trent's groin was fine but the coaches know he is too much of a pussy head case to pull him because of poor play. He has been absolutely pathetic for 16 of the last 19 quarters he has played. He has never had a good quarter in inclement weather. Losman came in and did his thing. He sucked...but he wasn't worse than Edwards. Is Trent Edwards the quarterback of the future? I am having serious doubts. Jauron will keep saying he is going to be a great player. Well, Dick, you better hope he turns into a great player again the rest of the year or else you will need to update your resume.

The Bills kicking game was incredible yesterday. Lindell shanked a 20 yarder and a 40 yarder. Mooreman had punts of 22, 29 and 27 yards. This dude is supposed to be a good punter? He averaged 26 yards per punt. I could do that in my sleep.

What else can I say? It is as simple as this in my opinion. The Bills coaching staff has one card in the deck left that can save them...and it is winning their final 4 games...all against AFC competition, all against teams with winning records, 3 of which are not at Ralph Wilson Stadium. That can't happen, but keeping Jauron around can't happen either.
