the Bills are going 7-9
by Steve
I'll tell you right now, this is not an over reaction. This team sucks. Their coach is terrible their owner is about to die, the team has never won a Super Bowl and the city is among the 3 poorest in the country. It sucks, big time.
They are not going to win more than 7 games this year. Yes seven. Yes they went 5-1 and are going to go an unprecedented 2 -8 to finish the season. Dick Jauron is a joke. Trent Edwards has not and will not, this year, recover from a concussion. Lynch nearly killed a bitch and hasn't done anything this year. Peters held out and it has cost him at least a season and probably $10 mil. Crowell was basically cut cause he was an asshole and there was no alternative to replace him.
Maybe I am Debbie Downer but this team sucks.
Look at the team from player to player
Trent Edwards- concussed gas been 1-2 since then and looked like a shell of his former self.
Marshawn Lynch - nearly jailed before the season for a hit and run hasn't hit the 100 yard mark
Peters - sat out game 1 has looked like a pile of nothing
Dockery - most over paid guard in the league
Center- Folwer/Preston pick your poison
Brad Butler - average has been hurt, given long term extension before the season for no reason
Walker- not terrible
Schobel - casper the friendly ghost + injury
Kyle williams - decent for a nobody
Stroud- has had little impact since week 2 looks old and is
Kelsay/Denney- who?!
Crowell/Ellison - out for the year slash wouldn't be starting for any team in the NFL Dispute that!
Posluzney - has never made a play in his career, been injured more than he has played
Mitchell- best years behind him in Giant land still good
Whitner - now hurt, has 1 career int 0 big plays ever
Ko Simpson - benched for Scott, zero impact
Greer- decent undersized #3 cb starting
McGee - injury plagued not bad when in there, best cb on the team... I guess
This team was dependent on Edwards being above average, since the concussion he has not been. Jauron is awful and costs this team 2-3 games a year. Lynch has been non-existent. Evans can't carry the team on its back. Royal is one of the worst starting tight ends in the league. See you in 09 .. this sucks

Still In first Place...Jets 26-Bills 17
-Coast
The more I think about this, the more I realize that the Bills have only lost one football game this season and that was against the Arizona Cardinals. The Bills have absolutely self destructed and beat themselves in each of the past two weeks and I don't know what that means. Is it happening because they are a young team and can't handle the pressure of big divisional games against teams they are more talented than? I want to think that everything that is happening can be fixed...but the fact is, it can't for one reason...the Bills head coach is Dick Jauron.
It is no accident that Jauron has only one winning season in his coaching career. The guy does not know how to win and we expect him to magically learn? It isn't going to happen. In back to back weeks he got outcoached by the likes of Tony Sporano and Eric Mangini. He had no answer yesterday for the Jets dink and dunk offensive gameplan. Our defense allowed the Jets to just get 4 or 5 yards every play and never adjusted...it was like they were so afraid of the big play. Yeah, Perry Fewell should be blamed too, but it all comes back to the head coach. Where was the aggressiveness on defense? We did not pressure Favre. We should have been bringing the house on this guy...but we didn't. The one time we pressure him he makes a mistake. Jauron also cannot go a game without making a ridiculous challenge. I could tell by watching the game live in the stands that Coles caught the ball. He is at field level. Is he blind? The one challenge he wins so to enable us to punt. I just can't stand him. It seriously makes me sick to think that he will be coaching our team till 2011.
Ever since I anointed Trent Edwards the MVP and top 5 QB in the NFL, he has looked exactly like JP Losman. I gave him a free pass last week in the 4th quarter but no free pass this week. He was awful. You can't make the argument that he singlehandedly lose us the game. He completely wasted three time outs for no reason. You need to be aware of the play clock and what is going on in the game. How do you ever even think about wasting a time out on 2nd and 11 from the 40 yard line in the third quarter? That is just inexcusable. The pick 6 was obviously another mistake that just can't happen. How reminiscent was that play to the Newman interception last year against Dallas that cost us big time. He also fumbled inside his own 10. He didn't see the corner blitz coming from his right. He turned his back to it assuming Corey McIntyre would pick up the blitz. He didn't. He held the ball way too long all day. He got sacked 5 times. He had back to back sacks in the 4th quarter that led to a Lindell missed field goal. This happened with the Bills down by 13.
Edwards isn't the only problem. The Bills ran the ball for 30 yards. The farthest Marshawn Lynch has ran all season was chasing down an interception return. After that play he disappeared for a quarter and a half because of flu like symptoms. He isn't used to have to run for more than 1 yard before getting hit by 5 players. The interior of the Bills offensive line was no match for Kris Jenkins. They are no match for anyone really. Jason Whittle was getting tossed around like a rag doll. Duke Preston is not Kent Hull and we all know everything we need to know about Melvin Fowler. Dockery is making 49 million dollars and I would really like to see him blow someone off the ball. Can we open a hole? Every yard Lynch or Jackson gets seems to be 100 percent their own doing.
The Bills dominated the first half. The Bills had the ball for 15 straight minutes. They ran 27 consecutive plays or something like that. They ran something like 35 of 39 plays in the first half on offense. They got outscored in that span 10-0. Their first drive was an easy touchdown march. Their next drive was a fumble at their own 6 by Edwards. Their next drive was a long march that resulted in Edwards throwing a pick 6 inside the 10. Their next drive was another long drive that resulted in a turnover on downs inside the 10. When you have a bad running game, you don't run a play fake on 3rd and a foot thinking there is no doubt you can pick up the first down on 4th. You just need to be smarter and realize you might need to shots at it.
Yesterday was an embarrassing loss. The reality is that it is over and the Bills are 5-3 and tied for first place. They have a huge game next weekend...at New England. They haven't won there since Clintons presidency. I'll be in the stands hoping for a miracle.
On a side note: Dante Whitner has a separated shoulder. He has week to week along with Josh Reed. I don't know what week to week means but all I know is we need Josh Reed back as soon as possible.

Fire Dick Jauron
by Steve
Fire Dick Jauron. He is terrible. 3 year extension? Holy shit this dude is a travesty. Our run game is a joke, our team is a joke, we were duped, we were tricked. This team is 5-3 and they are terrible. They aren't good they are average at best.
Fuck Jauron. Holy shit, how do you lay two eggs in a row. Other than our joke of a coaching staff our Quarterback is awful. He has cost us two games. I don't know if it is the concussion or being young but he sucks. He is worlds better than Losman but he sucks. He turns the ball over he holds the ball, I don't get it.
Do I really have tickets to the Patriots game Sunday? fffffffffffffffffffffuck

Bert Favre sucks
by Steve
Bert Favre, Brent Faver, Brad Fever,Brent Farve, Brett Ferve, who ever this old dude is, I'm not scared of him. He makes it rain like Wezzy but instead of money, its interceptions. It is a divisional game so i'm worried, but it is against "Brett Favre" so it puts me at ease.
We pwn'd him last time he was in Buffalo. Some cock smokin chain smokin bitch w/ acne and her dumb little kid had Brent jerseys on. I told the security guard but she didn't get kicked out. Ko Simpson picked him in the endzone to seal the game and the little kid cried. Top 5 moment at the Ralph.
This team doesn't have their best LB, they are on the road, their secondary is a joke, and Jenkins can suck my balls. We'll pound the run till it can't be pounded any more. Trent will have a bounce back game. Parrish will have an end around for a change and catch a few balls. Sweet Lee needs to show up. Hopefully Peters is better.
Plus, the Sabres ended the 4 game losing streak so its on, its on its on on on on. Mangina is an average coach at best. He will be confused by Fewell's attack and Turk should have a bounce back day as well.
Plus I will be intoxicated yelling obscenities at anyone with a dumb ass green #4 jersey. See you at the Ralph

Bills Jets Week 9
-Coast
The Bills Jets game on Sunday afternoon is one of the 3 biggest games in Orchard Park since the turn of the century. The Bills are sitting at 5-2 and in my opinion, are in a must win situation. The Bills could easily go into Foxborough at 6-2 and one game clear of New England (who play at Lucas Oil Stadium Sunday Night against a desperate football game), but with a loss, they fall behind the Jets and Patriots and will go into Gillette in a tail spin.
The Bills just did not show up last week, simple as that. Fumble, interception, safety, fumble, muffed punt...that is what happened the last 5 time the Bills had the football. That is not going to get you any 4th quarter comeback wins. Now that we have had 5 days to recover though, let's look at this realistically. The Bills are 5-2 and in first place through 8 weeks and if you would have told me this before the season, I would have loved it. No divisional road game is an easy win...and Miami plays up (and down) to their opponents.
The Jets meanwhile survived Kansas City at home. Brett Favre threw 3 interceptions against the vaunted 1-6 Chief defense. The week before that, the Jets lost to the Raiders in the Black Hole. Favre threw another 2 interceptions in that game. That is 5 interceptions to the Raiders and Chiefs, two teams with a combined 3-11 record.
The gameplan seems simple...pressure Favre and he will make mistakes. The only problem is, the Bills have had a pathetic pass rush. The Bills have 12 sacks this season through 7 games and 5 of those came in week one. 7 sacks in the past 6 games...that is bad. Schobel will be out once again. This hurts us as much as I think Schobel is overrated. Ryan Denney is a terrible player and should not be playing ever. Chris Kelsay is making 5.5 million dollars per year or something close to that and he is invisible out there. He has one sack and really has just been invisible. Copeland Bryan and Chris Ellis will be the reserve ends...Ellis, the rookie, has barely played if at all...I'd like to see him get a snap or two to see what he's got. The Bills need to Blitz and when they blitz they need to get in Favre's face...or else he could pick us apart. McGee is playing and is feeling better and has a lot to prove this week...he will have to cover Coles who is a much better player than Ginn. Wasn't this Bills defense supposed to be a defense that forced a lot of mistakes on the opposing offenses? They have 4 interceptions the entire year. Ugly.
On offense, I better see more of number 23 this week. Only 13 carries last week? On the sideline inside the 10 yard line on our first drive? Lynch was averaging 5 a pop and somehow only got 13 carries. That is a joke. Bills running hacks have had a history of torching the New York Jets and tomorrow better be more of the same...although the Jets do have the 4th ranked rushing defense in the NFL allowing 82.6 yards per game. Trent Edwards hopefully will forget about that ugly 4th quarter last week and go back to being the Trent we knew weeks 1 through 7. The Jets pass defense ranks 23rd in the league...and allowed a very respectable day to Tyler Thigpen last week, 280 and 2 Tds, with no Ints. So hopefully Trent and Lee Evans can make some big plays.
On the injury front, Josh Reed will be out as well as Schobel. That means Hardy will see more time. It is about time for him to start to make a larger contribution. Brad Butler is also out, Duke Preston will be starting at center which means Jason Whittle will get the nod at right guard. The healthy Melvin Fowler has finally been relegated to bench where he belongs. McGee and Youboty are both playing this week. Hopefully they are both getting back to where they were in the beginning of the season. Without these two guys healthy, this secondary is very week...they have gotten lit up big time recently. The number 11 overall pick can't even get on the field when McGee is obviously much less than 100%. What a bad draft pick...Can be at least break a kick return at some point or do something? The 2008 draft class is MIA.
On a side not, USA today selected their all pro team at the seasons mid point recently. Donte Whitner was selected as the strong safety. He has made one play this season that I can remember. This is the excerpt next to his name: "No questions now about whether Buffalo reached to draft him eighth overall in 2006." Are you serious?

Last week I predicted a Bills 31-9 rout...but I only picked that because I felt like I had to pick the Bills to win...if you read my preview blog, I said I thought the Bills would lose. This Sunday though, I can't imagine a scenario that results in the Bills losing this game...they can't lose this game...can they? If the Bills are a playoff contender they will undoubtedly win because let's face it, the Jets just aren't that good at all. I am still worried that the Bills are the same old Bills. We have the same coach who kicks field goals on 4th and goal from the 1 and wastes challenges more than anyone in the league. This time I really do think the Bills will win and if they don't that would suck because we just dropped 7 hundo on 5 tickets to Gillette. The Bills will win and cover the number...27-17.
