    Why the long kick

    why did we become conservative running the ball with a 47 yard kick!

    we should have tried to hit them in the end zone on the first down following the play to royal.

    Jauron needs to know the percentages of hitting a 47 yarder vs a 30 plus yard kick

    Re: Why the long kick

    because he was scared that trent would stand in the pocket with a ton of time.. like he did all night.. and then throw another interception after staring at the receiver for 10 seconds and waiting for the coverage to catch up.

    did you watch the game? it is obvious why they ran the ball. it was their only choice. trent couldnt complete two passes in a row.

    Jauron is totally incompetent. There is no reason why they wouldn't at least try a low-risk, high percentage pass to get into Lindell's sweet zone. None at all.

    If you can't trust your QB to EVEN THROW THE BALL ONE TIME, he shouldn't be playing.

    You mean it was their only choice right after Trent threw a strike to Royal for 22 yards? Umm, ok.

    I agree they were scared, but nobody knows what will happen during the next play, so that philosophy is totally laughable. Dickey lost this game at the end of it because he played for a 47 yard fg. That is a loser coaching and not coach who is a winner.

    Our best player last night arguably dropped a potential game clinching INT in the games' final minutes.

    I agree man, this is FOOTBALL, not some beauty pagent. The QB isn't there to be a statute and worshipped like a Roman God, let the kid throw the freaking ball.

    Re: Why the long kick

    I don't buy the confidence in Trent excuse. If they didn't have any confidence in Trent they would've yanked him after the third pick of the first quarter. They left him in so they obviously had confidence in him. Trent himself didn't have confidence in himself which is why he constantly ingnored open receivers downfield and dumped it off to Marshawn. The reason they ran the ball three straight times is because the coaching staff is consistently gutless. It doesn't matter what the game situation is, if it involved taking a risk they are going to go the safe route 99.8% of the time.

    so the truth is, the coaches have no confidence in Trent either. Got it!

    Re: Why the long kick

    I've been a Jauron supporter for some time; however, after his performances the past two weeks I have given up on him. It's time for a change. But who to go to is the question. It seems that other teams have the ability to pick a winner(Atlanta, Baltimore, Miami) but that doesn't seem to rest with the Bills' management. Don't tell me about Cowher. Ralph will never pay him what he wants.

    I must be wrong about Trent too then and just admit that he blows and the coaches have nothing to do with his failure.

    Ralph should kiss Polians ass and beg him to come back.

    If they had confidence in Edwards they would of had them throw the ball. I think the reason they did not yank Edwards is because they have more confidence in Edwards than Losman. Basically, by their actions, they do not have confdence in the QB position.
