he gets it

Kilgore always writes a great column. He is by far the best sports writer in Buffalo. Very practical and logical analysis.

I believe that Jauron is a good coach. However, when your team has this little talent you need to step outside the box and get creative. In the end it might win you one more game but it at least keeps you playing hard.

Obviously Denver isn't that good and we should have won that game.

He does get it! Even the announcers during the game got it but for some reason Dick and/or Steve don't seem to get it. Maybe Ralph is like the evil woman owner from that baseball movie Major league and this is all his fault.

[clumping platelets]

He's right

I believe that Jauron is a good coach.

That's up for debate.

He picked this Cover 2 D. Looks like square pegs are being driven into the round hole again, much like Greggo and Mularkey.

Yes, it will be debated here. I watched Gregg Williams and Mike Mularkey do far less with alot more talent. In addition, when we needed a coach he was the best available and at least had previous head coaching experience.

Is he a great coach? No. But right now we need somebody who can keep these guys playing at a high level. He is doing that. The talent is not here. PERIOD.

To me the coach that has been a major disappointment has been Fairchild. We were all high on him based on his previous experience, and again, was the best available at the time.

If we finish at the bottom in offense at the end of the season Jauron will have to fire Fairchild. If he doesn't, than my opinion of Jauron will change quickly.

Great article. The Bills offense is terrible.

[DraftBoy]

well written piece

Can someone please send this article to Jauron et al?

[Mahdi]

I agree with everthing except for the part about Parrish being a non-factor in the passing game. I think he's the only factor.

[justasportsfan]

MOst acurate article.

[BlackMetalNinja]

Great article. The Bills offense is terrible.

Bill Walton would disagree... they are in fact TERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRIBLE!

[Throne Logic]

I agree.

I'd much rather lose with JP / Edwards throwing 5 interceptions than by watching this offense run the run-run-pass-punt all afternoon. At least it would be more exciting.

Right now it's just a slow painful death Sunday after Sunday.

To motivate the players they'll have a naked poster of Ralph in the locker room, and with each win, they'll put more clothes on it.

"So, we can't lay all, or even most of the blame, on the quarterback."

I believe I said that right after the first game.

[Jan Reimers]

I totally agree with Kilgore, and have absolutely no idea why the Bills have run this ultraconservative, absolutely ineffective offense for 3 straight games now.

We're 0-3 and going nowhere. Would it hurt to open up the offense and play like most teams in the NFL?

[blackonyx89]

Kilgore was always a straight shooter when it comes to the Bills and Sabres. I pray he doesn't get axed like John Murphy.

I actually don't have any problem with our use of a Cover 2, and I think that were it not for 1) the ridiculous spate of injuries, and 2) the fact that our offense does absolutely nothing to help, our defense would be very respectable.

I think Dick is a good leader, generally runs a very disciplined operation, and all in all is a good coach. But the fact is he's a defensive guy, and I just don't think he knows how to run an offense. That doesn't mean he couldn't be a great head coach nonetheless, but when you're an almost purely defensive-minded head coach, you really need to hire an all-star offensive coordinator and let them work. For example, Rod Marinelli hired Mike Martz, and appears to let Martz run the show. The Lions move the ball.

I think that either Fairchild is fairly inept, or Dick is not letting him work and is playing the cards way too tight. I don't think we have legions of talent at the WR position, and our QBs are average at best at this point. But I just don't think that talent alone is enough to explain one offensive touchdown in three games. It feels like a system problem to me.
