    Schobel: "What are we doing here?"

    DE Schobel questions Bills’ lack of direction

    By JOHN WAWROW, AP Sports Writer

    ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. (AP)—Resigned to missing the playoffs for his ninth straight year in Buffalo, defensive end Aaron Schobel(notes) questioned the Bills lack of direction with seven games remaining in their season.

    “It’s embarrassing,” the longest-tenured player on the Bills roster said Monday, a day after a 41-17 loss at Tennessee dropped Buffalo’s record to 3-6. “I mean, we’re technically, mathematically still in it, I guess, but it’s like what … are we doing here?”

    Speaking within earshot of several Bills officials near the entrance of the locker room, Schobel expressed his frustration, but stopped short in explaining what he thinks the franchise’s problems are by saying: “That’s about all I can say without saying what I want to say.”

          He wasn't questioning the direction when they signed him to that big contract extension with 3 years left on his old deal, guaranteeing him millions.

                Maybe he was hopeful, like we were.

                  Well, I guess not everybody loves Jauron and the management at One Bills Drive. It was only a matter of time before this started to happen...I'd like to hear more players start to speak up.

                        I like Aaron. He's been one of few positives this year. He plays hard, nobody held a gun to Ralph's head to give him that huge deal.

                          It's about time people started speaking up from within the organization - I want to see the whole house of cards Ralph has built come crashing down.

                            Do the Bills suck on purpose?

                              Would you?
