Final Straw for Jauron

-Coast

So, the Bills season is finally over after a miserable day at One Bills Drive and a 13-0 shutout loss to New England. It was the 11th in a row and the 16th loss in 17 games. I think this was the worst three hours I have ever spent watching a sporting event in my entire life. The weather was terrible. The wind was ridiculous and the temperature just dropped consistently. I couldn’t feel my hands or feet midway through the 2nd half, but for some reason, I didn’t leave early.

Anyways, today pretty much summed up the Bills season and Dick Jauron’s tenure as the coach of the Bills. I have seen some terrible decisions made by Jauron over the past three seasons. I really didn’t think it was possible to see something even worse, but today I actually did. Everyone reading this I am sure watched the game and saw the events that ended the 2nd quarter. Less than 20 seconds left, no time outs, and we run the football up the middle to force us to rush our field goal team on the field to kick a field goal in swirling wind. Of course we didn’t even attempt a kick because Duke Preston decided it was a good idea to get in a scuffle and not even get off the field, but we all know this. The decision to run it there is completely retarded. The obvious reason is that we had no timeouts left and needed to try and run our field goal team on the field. The thing that makes me even more pissed off though is that we didn’t even try to score a touchdown. We have beaten New England once since the 2000 season. We are playing for nothing. What do we have to lose? Trent Edwards said they didn’t want to take a chance of getting sacked and not having an attempt at a field goal and that is why they ran it up the middle. I could write an entire blog tearing up this comment but I won’t. Basically, our coach is not only stupid, but a pussy and our quarterback is a pussy too. Oh yeah, and we had no idea what we were doing before calling this play. There was mass confusion. The play came in late. Edwards had to sprint to the line to get the snap off. Alright, I am done thinking about this.

The beginning of the 2nd half demonstrated just how much Bill Belichick owns Dick Jauron. It was hilarious actually. The Patriots faced a 4th and long from there own like 20 yard line. The Bills instantly rushed their punt team on the field but to their surprise, the Patriots kept their offense on the field. In mass confusion again, the Bills waste a timeout less than 2 minutes into the 2nd half. During the timeout, Belichick decides to punt. He tricked us into wasting a timeout. Jauron doesn’t deserve to be on the same field as this guy. He doesn’t deserve to be on the same planet really. He probably doesn’t deserve to be on the same planet as anyone in the world.

Matt Cassel punted. It was a 57 yard punt that pinned the Bills at their own 2 yard line. Are we smart enough to do something like this? Seriously…have we ever done anything smart in the past 3 years? In the first half, we faced a 3rd and 9 and ran it up the middle, seemingly content in settling for a 47 yard field goal with ridiculous wind. I don’t care if the wind was at our back at the time, it was swirling and like 145 miles per hour. Somehow, we were happy settling for a long kick. I have no confidence in Lindell making a 47 yard field goal when it is 73 and sunny, yet somehow we think he will make a 47 yarder when it is 36 and hurricane conditions?

This really was the perfect game though for those of you who want Jauron fired. We were obviously outcoached. We got shut out at home. We have scored 6 points in our last 3 home games combined (including Toronto). What is the selling point for Dick Jauron? There is none. A lot of people will not be renewing season tickets if he comes back. I am predicting a 10,000 ticket drop. 45,000 season tickets next year if they are lucky…this year we had over 54.
