Next year, when the season starts and I look at our roster and schedule to peice together what I think our record will be, I will forever include the "Dick Jauron" factor.
I wont look to if we signed a bunch of quality FA's or none.. Seriously, whether we bring back Sam Aiken or we go out and sign Suggs, Dawkins and Haynesworth-- I'm not basing it on that anymore.
I won't factor in how the draft went.
I will instead remember this season VERY well and use the Dick Jauron formula, and for every game next year I will taken into consideration.
* One stupid challenge
* One third and inches where we run a play with nobody in the backfield.
* Count on having fewer than 2 time outs with 12 minutes left in a half.
* Count on not trying to score before a half.
* At least one play call everyone here will be talking about the next day.
* 3-5 times our coordinators literally outsmart THEMSELVES.
* Injuries pile up due to the padless "camp Jauron" summer.
* Losing a December game in bad weather at home because Jauron likes to practice indoors (in Buffalo!) when it gets nippy outside.
SO add that up, and how ever many wins you think the Bills will win next year based on their roster, subtract no less than THREE due to the Dick Jauron factor. And Im being generous, the number is more likely four, the equivalant of one-quarter of the season.
So if you think they're an 8-8 team right now with this roster, pencil them in at 5-11 in Vegas right now.
