What a complete joke. Just when you think you have seen it all. 4th and inches, down 10, under 8 minutes left at their own 28 yard line going up against an offense that has averaged 45 plus points per game through the first two games, and Dick Jauron sends on the punt team. Jauron thinks it was the right move even after the game. Saying that his team fought hard to keep it a game until that point and he didn't want to give up the game then. If punting down 10 isn't giving up the game then I don't know what is. This is among the worst moments of the Jauron era, the most wussiest coaching move that I can remember. Sean Payton was going for it with a lead on his own side of mid field earlier in the game and we are punting with half a quarter left down by 10. Jauron's main objective is to keep the score respectable, he must think that if the Bills lose 17-7 to the Saints, then it looks like a good coaching job by him. After all, he held the mighty Saints offense to 17 points. This is what we have gotten and will continue to get under Jauron.
Trent Edwards had a promising start to the season, and then there was yesterday. It looked like the pre season all over agian. Edwards looked frazzled, all day. He cannot process information fast enough when the opposing teams blitz. Gregg Williams laid out a blue print for the rest of the NFL yesterday. Bring the house, single cover everyone, maybe have a safety over the top, or maybe just not cover anyone, because Trent won't be able to handle it and make a decision. He was sacked 4 times, threw countless other passes into the ground. He didn't have much time, but he didn't make any plays either. He had a chance to change the game on a bomb to TO, but missed him. He didn't get the ball to Owens one time in the game. TO had his first game without a catch in 185 games. Evans again was held under 40 yards. Forget a TO blow up, how about an Evans blow up? Being the great teammate and professional that Evans is, a blow up by him would really send ripples throughout One Bills Drive.
There isn't much else to really say. The defense was up for the task, they played hard and held the Saints to 10 points through 3 quarters. Again, they were on the field for a majority of the game. The Bills only points came on a fake field goal. The Bills have 6 touchdowns through 3 games. Denney and Schobel have one each. Evans and Owens have one each. Our defensive end position has as many touchdowns as our 15 million dollar starting receivers. TO was dogging it yesterday on many plays, you could tell, but who could blame him? The quarterback doesn't even look his way. After the game TO repeatedly said they are just running the plays that are called. Check down after check down. This team will be 7-9 again if they are lucky and there is no reason to think that the coach will be fired. We are stuck with this Bills fans for the foreseeable future and it sucks.
The Bills get Lynch back next week. I still believe he is the best player on our offense, I don't care what people say about Fred Jackson and how much they love him or about how Lynch wears Raiders hats during Bills games in the press box. Who cares? He is the only person on our team that can find the end zone with any consistency whatsoever. Look for the Bills divisional losing streak to reach 8 this Sunday in South Florida.
