Immediate Reactions, Wk10





nick@wgr550.com

For the amusement of in-game reactions, check my banter at Twitter.com/NicholasMendola

The worst team in maybe the worst division in football. If it were that easy, you'd just turn it off. But the Buffalo Bills aren't the worst team in this miserable football league. They aren't even bottom five. Worst franchise? Now, we're talking.

Your official "if we win out, there's still no guarantee of playoffs" Immediate Reactions...

-- So, here's my dilemma as a post-game typer: If I start with criticism of Trent Edwards, I'm a "hater." If I start with Terrell Owens, I'm taking the easy way out. If i start with the defense, I'm dodging the real issue. If I start with the coaching, I'll stab myself in the arm pit. So...

-- This offensive line isn't helping anyone out and, injuries aside, it's hard to feel for them. Penalty-after-penalty-after-blown-assignment-after-batted-down-pass. Every lineman except Geoff Hangartner got himself a penalty, and the center disengaged early on a play that cost Marshawn Lynch a good 5-10 extra yards. It's a shame the NFL demands five linemen. I'd rather put a quarterback 12 yards deep and throw seven wide-outs out there. Then, James Hardy and Roscoe Parrish wouldn't have to watch.

-- What in the world are the Bills going to do in the offseason? You get Brad Butler back for one of your tackle positions, but barring a miraculous recovery and performance from Jamon Meredith, you need another tackle, a starting quarterback and at least two linebackers. If we don't see anything from Hardy, you need to think receiver at some point, because T.O.'s gone.

-- Okay, I need to throw in another game-related note before we get to Edwards, Owens or Jauron: Rich Gannon is the most useless color analyst in pro football right now. Can we take him and Mark Schlereth, and ship them off to the Island of Misfit Meatballs? It was clear from the get-go that Gannon was going to criticize everything Vince Young did, and hand massage every thing Edwards did. He's one guy who hasn't gotten past -- or at least found a way to conceal -- his clear biases developed during time in the league. I know he knows more football than I've forgotten, but listening to him is like that being the guy in the Bud Light commercial where his redheaded girlfriend uses a nailgun to put his boutonniere on his jacket.

-- I'm listening to Bob Dylan right now to calm my agitated nerves. It's working.

-- Look, Dick Jauron's time in Buffalo is as expired as a 10-year-old bottle of cow's milk, pre-Pasteurization, but I have a hard time criticizing him for allowing Tennessee to try a 51-yard field goal instead of a 3rd-and-23. Chris Johnson looked like Walter Payton had a kid with Barry Sanders on his receptions, and Titans offensive coordinator Mike Heimerdinger had the upper hand on Perry Fewell all day. It's a definite "damned if you do, damned if you don't" decision for Jauron, particularly considering his standing with Bills fans right now. I think I would've let them kick instead of gaining 10 yards and then kicking, but I'm not sure it matters nearly as much as the announcing team wanted you to think. Rod Bironas is an excellent kicker.

-- He reacted like a baby, and was not good for the Bills, but Owens did show that he can still get open, and probably has been for a lot of the season, He definitely should program his gloves to "catch mode" the whole game though. Far too often, he's been flipping the lever for "granite fingers."

-- I know Alex Van Pelt is desperate, and that it's fun to watch offenses pass, but he again bailed on the run game too early. Both Marshawn Lynch and Fred Jackson were getting more than four yards-per-pop, even before Jackson's late 14-yard run moved him to a deceiving 6.0 average. It's sad that this is a coaching staff that acts like it's down 14 during a tie game. It's tough to watch, and I bet it rubs off on the guys.

-- Jairus Byrd is a great, great story in pass coverage, but I'd love to see him not wimp out at the tail end of multiple Chris Johnson runs. Not exactly the "safe" thing for a defense.

-- Even with my kind words for Young, don't forget that Terrence McGee was missing.

-- Another Gannon beauty was saying Young failed to take advantage of the mismatch between safety-turned-linebacker Bryan Scott and a tight end. Rich, I'll take a DB on a TE all day.

-- DFHAJKSDFBASKFN.

-- I just realized I didn't give my views on Edwards. He was fine, maybe even good for what he is -- a great option as your No. 2 quarterback. He made some nice throws, and the touchdown to Evans was a solid throw, one tossed with confidence. That's something we haven't been able to say an awful lot about him. I bet he'd even look slighlty-above average if he wasn't picking his linemen's equipment out of his stomach after most plays. Made a couple real poor decisions that cost his team big, but that's life in 2009 Bills football, I guess. He's your quarterback for the rest of the year, and here's hoping he plays better. If not, would be that big a deal to let Gibran Hamdan play NFL football for the last :57 of a fourth quarter, down 354 points?

Stat line I enjoyed:
Lee Evans, four catches, 50 yards, two touchdowns
-- I enjoyed the two touchdowns. You have to try and find ways to get this guy the ball. He's locked up to a contract, but honestly, if there was ever a guy you'd understand demanding a trade, Evans might be the guy. A lesser man would've gone off by now. Maybe he will.

Stat line I didn't enjoy:
Chris Johnson, 26 carries, 132 yards, two touchdowns; nine receptions, 100 yards
-- There's a scene in the seminal film of our time, "Billy Madison," where Eric plays a violin concerto or something, followed by Billy blowing on a clarinet before awkwardly declaring, "He's good." Yep.

Game ball:
Fred Jackson
-- Why not? Touchdown pass, bunch of kickoff returns, some catches and some runs. Marcus Stroud had himself another day, and Drayton Florence was miserable. Did he maybe take the year's first defensive pass interference call?

Lastly...
"Can You Please Crawl Out Your Window?" by Bob Dylan (and The Band) is a super-solid song, even if there's something quite against the gentleman's code about it. You could say it was a rebellious shot at the more-vocal and violent protestors of his time. I just made that up now, but you could say it. Go Bills.

Next week:
Much of the same, without the early score and minus the late barrage. I say the Jags lead 13-7 for three quarters before late Maurice Jones-Drew scores put the final around 27-17. Then, I'll do another one of these, host post-game and see the E-Street Band, who are reportedly playing "Greetings From Asbury Park" in its entirety as part of their final night on tour, in Buffalo. BRUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCE (Springsteen).

Bills and Sabres are mirror images of the City of Buffalo!
Bills and Sabres are mirror images of the city they play in! Buffalo and its sports teams are nothing! The city is dead, the teams are dead, and there is no future for the city and its teams. Is anyone really surprised though at this point?
11/15/2009 5:27PM
Do the math..............................
Bills 50 year = 0 Superbowl wins. Sabres 35 years = 0 Stanley Cups. City of Buffalo taxes lack of jobs horrible weather population decline high cancer rates political corruption at all levels = a dead city!
11/15/2009 5:29PM
Hey, Wait just a minute!
That was harsh! Buffalo isn't dead, it's teams aren't... oh wait, you're right.
11/15/2009 5:29PM
???
Who keeps allowing the garbage written above me to keep going up on here? Take that somewhere else...
11/15/2009 5:29PM
Bruce
Maybe after he ends the show in Buffalo he'll say "I love you Ohio."
11/15/2009 5:30PM
I agree with that Math
Add it up and you have 85 years of Buffalo pro sports history and there are no championships at all. That says it all. Usually economically depressed cities with a small population size don't even have pro sports so I guess Buffalo has that going for itself. But it is only a matter of time before both the Bills and Sabres move out of Buffalo. God it must suck to live in WNY still. Glad I moved years ago!
11/15/2009 5:31PM
Re: do the math
Atleast after you commit suicide Buffalo will be a little bit better off.
11/15/2009 5:33PM
Re: ???
Why do you say that is "garbage?" How is speaking the truth "garbage?" Please explain? Are you one of these Buffalo backers who denies reality at all costs just so you can try and feel better about living in that horrible city called Buffalo?
11/15/2009 5:34PM
Re:Re; do the math
...only if he's Dick Jauron
11/15/2009 5:34PM
Re: Re: Do the math
Suicide? Wow. Nothing but classy comments from Buffalo residents. Were you one of those Bills fans that vandalized the Bills player's lawn this season?
11/15/2009 5:36PM
Football
hey guys, maybe talk some football. im sure you cant find someplace else to bash Buffalo and each other
11/15/2009 5:37PM
Buffalo is a JOKE
Oh I'm talking about the sports teams as well as the city of Buffalo and most of its residents. Just read the Buffalo fans comments on here. They are low class and uneducated people.
11/15/2009 5:38PM
Buffalo is a JOKE continued....
All the educated people who have money have left that god forsaken area years ago. And Buffalo still has a annual population loss of 2% a year. Wow....such a great place to live. I wonder why so many people continue to leave that area? Humm, cause it sucks!
11/15/2009 5:38PM
But if we only talked football...
We'd be talking about the Tennessee Titans
11/15/2009 5:40PM
Re; Buffalo is a JOKE
Pretty tough words on an anonymous message board. I'm sure you're highly educated and from some lovely town, rich town. cgallagher@fordham.edu if you'd like to discuss.
11/15/2009 5:40PM
Here is some more MATH...
What area has the highest overall caner rates in the US? What area has an annual population loss of 2% a year for over 35 years? What area has the highest taxes in the US? What area has jobs leaving in droves? What area has over 200 inches of snow a yearand 6 months of winter? If you guess Buffalo, NY then you got it correct!
11/15/2009 5:42PM
Don't forget this:
Buffalo also filed bankruptcy and so did Erie County. Both are under a control board. Now that really speaks well of the city and county....lol.
11/15/2009 5:42PM
Re: here is some more
Wow those "caner" rates are pretty convincing. I guess you're right, Buffalo sucks.
11/15/2009 5:44PM
Ohh I almost forgot
Buffalo and Erie County cannot even afford toilet paper for its city and county buildings. This even made the national news. So now Buffalo is know for more than its snow, 4 superbowl losses and chicken wings. What a city! What a city!
11/15/2009 5:44PM
Gannon and Jauron
Did anybody catch Rich Gannon's comment, "and you can see the frustration on Jauron's face..."? Has anyone ever seen frustration, or any other emotion, on Jauron's face? Ever?
11/15/2009 5:45PM
Anyone?
Is anyone going to monitor these post??? Can we please delete the messages by the tools who are talking about the buffalo consensus
11/15/2009 5:47PM
Ralph is a bum
Ralph clearly doesn't have any idea what he is doing. I used to want this team to stay in buffao but now i wish he would at least sell the team. If they move they move, we can cheer for someobdy else who is actualy good. I'm waiting to buymy peyton manning jersey...lol.
11/15/2009 5:48PM
Re: ohh i almost forgot
Since I'm sure it's you who has no life an has posted every negative comment about Buffalo...I'd like to point out that you spend an awful lot of time researching these horrible things about Buffalo. Don't you have anything betterto do in your wealthy, highly educated city, wherever that might be? Or are you actually this big of a waste of life? Or more likely, are you some middle class 17 year old kid from Orchard Park trying to sound tough?
11/15/2009 5:51PM
Re: Buffalo residents are dumb
So where are you from that's so wonderful? Tell us so we can take our shots at your hometown. You're probably from Detroit or Camden, NJ or someplace equally miserable.
11/15/2009 5:51PM
To quote Jack Nicholson
"You can't handle the truth!"Stop throwing money at an inferior product and maybe change will be enacting. Season ticket holders are a bunch of dopes. Why would you keep throwing money down a cold slot machine? 10 years and no playoffs.Stop going to Rich Stadium and maybe Wilson will wake up with his last remaining braincells and blow up he organization top to bottom.
11/15/2009 5:54PM
RE: Here is some more MATH...
I happen to love the snow for 6 months of the year...the summers are pretty awesome also. So you may hate this city but there are still tons of people who love it. Take your crap somewhere else
11/15/2009 5:55PM
Re: I am originally from Buffalo.
Haha I know "there's not need". I just want to know where you moved to, so I can be as happy as you!
11/15/2009 5:56PM
Re: Jack Nicholson
I agree. Buffalo Bills fans are like sheep to the slaughter house. They know whats coming but yet they continue to go forward and go to games and buy merchandise.
11/15/2009 5:57PM
lol....tons?
Tons of people who love Buffalo? Then why is your area continuing to see its population get smaller? You make like the snow but most people do not. That does not help your area bring in jobs! Hence, you are a fool!
11/15/2009 5:57PM
Re: Jack Nicholson
Yep, everyone knows great fans are supposed to abandon their teams when they're struggling.

Just moved to Tennesee
Just moved to The South and I have to honestly say that I miss Buffalo. Yes, Buffalo can be a harsh place to live in many ways but The South, at least here in TN is disturbing....overt racism, bible fanatics, ignorance, and pride in being a redneck....Chattanooga makes Buffalo look like a cosmopolitan paradise...I miss you, Buffalo!
11/15/2009 5:59PM
Re: lol...tons
For somebody who hates Buffalo so much why are you spending time on WGR's website?
11/15/2009 6:00PM
Here is a typical Buffalonian response:
The siully reasons why Bufalonians love Buffalo: 1) Mighty Taco 2) snow 3) the arts 4) the people 5) the change in seasons 6) little traffic. How sad that is all you have. These people must never travel to other areas outside WNY....lol.
11/15/2009 6:00PM
Re: Buffalo and Cleveland
Hey good win against the Sabres last night. er...
11/15/2009 6:01PM
Hey I agree
Don't let these fools talk back to you. If you live in Buffalo still you have to be a glass half full person. if you werent optimistic then you would probably commit suicide after living there 1 year. That is why the Buffalonians tell you to commitsuicide because they have thought about it so much themselves.
11/15/2009 6:03PM
Re; Here is
Yeah if you aren't from a city like New York or Los Angeles or Chicago you should hate where you live and your life in general! Why look for the positives your hometown offers when you can just bash it instead!?
11/15/2009 6:03PM
Flyers vs Sabres
We have still won 5 of last 6 meetings. Plus.....does 1975 ring a bell?

you all sound like a bunch of morons. grow up
11/15/2009 6:05PM
Buffalo
You should look at all the people who leave for jobs and eventually come back because they love Buffalo. Now I already know you're response to this will be something highly intelligent and well thought out, but I know that most of us here in Buffalo are far happier than you will ever be.
11/15/2009 6:05PM
Re: Re: Here is
There are many small cities that are wonderful places to live. Why do you say you have to live in NY, LA or Chicago? Your area has no positives that is why no one has mentioned anything objectively positive about Buffalo. Oh wait, you live in Buffalo so you probbaly dont know what OBJECTIVE means. It means not just your personal opinion. It is somehting that is common knowledge or something that most would agree with.
11/15/2009 6:06PM
Sabres Re: Mirror Images
Leave the Sabres out of it. They're 12-4-1, in 1st place, have actually been good this decade and just won straight vs. 2 good teams
11/15/2009 6:06PM
Re: Flyers vs Sabres
I wasn't alive in 75 so I'm not too bothered by it. Remembered when we dismantled you 9-0 and you blew up your whole front office and team the next day? Maybe you remember our last playoff meeting, although RJ Umberger might be a little hazy on it.

Re: Buffalo
How do I "look at all the people who leave for jobs and eventually come back because they love Buffalo." This is your personal feeling. Show me some stats? Only people who couldn't make it in another city and need to come back to live in theor 95 year old moms basement come back to Buffalo. Buffalo has an annual population loss of 2% so I don't know what you are talking about. Go to college first then come back and debate.
11/15/2009 6:09PM
RE: Flyers vs Sabres
Did you win the cup in 2006? Nope. Have the Flyers recovered from that blowup and have made the playoffs the last 2 years? So what is your point chief?

Re: Sabres
You say the Sabres "have actually been good this decade.."??? Are you nuts? The Sabres have missed the playoffs 6 times in the past 8 years. And this is in the NHL where 53% of the teams in each conference make the playoffs each year! The Sabers started off strong last year and look where that got them! Don't get too excited just yet my friend!
11/15/2009 6:13PM
Bills Fan in Tampa
This mental giant who is writing all these posts is a real winner, can't you tell. He obviously has several lady friends beating on his bedroom door asking for entrance but instead feels compelled to write on message boards. Ever been laid sir? Dumb question all that pent up frustration says it all. May I suggest calling an escort service- even a smelly gross human can get laid for money. Have a nice time with your hand and the internet tonight.
11/15/2009 6:13PM
I just got on here
Wow is all I have to say. Some people are really bashing Buffalo on here and I don't see any good comebacks! Buffalonians are you going to let people talk this kind of smack about you and your city? Pull your pants up and start defending yourself with some educated comments or else let it drop!
11/15/2009 6:14PM

Flyers 1974,1975. Sixers 1983. Phillies 1980,2008. Buffalo.........ZERO. Your only championships are through rooting for the Mets and Yankees. LOSERS
11/15/2009 6:32PM
1975, really?
Really Flyers fan, you're bringing up 1975, over 30 years ago? There's got to be a statute of limitations on sporting events you can bring up to beleaguer another fanbase.
11/15/2009 6:32PM
I moved back
Wife and I both "made it" in another town and we moved back here. We missed Buffalo.
11/15/2009 6:33PM
really with the Buffalo bashing?
Someone needs to remove those comments. Clearly somone is far too worked up, hiding behind his computer talking about a city he has probably never visited
11/15/2009 6:34PM
Philly titles since 1974
1974 and 1975 Flyers. 1983 7ers. 1980 and 2008 Phillies. Buffalo titles since 1974 anyone?
11/15/2009 6:36PM
Words can not describe this crap any more.......
I think the Bills performance has sunk to such a new low, that pretty much any vulgar, vile, or disgusting adjective cannot begin to fully describe this pitifully inept team. Maybe if the extreme makeover show has their stuff still here, they could do aquickie and demolish this embarassing disaster we see each week and begin building a team that Buffalo can atleast respect. all I know is this trash has got to change.
11/15/2009 7:57PM
I was happy to see
that the football game went off without a hitch!

yes the bills are still struggling but atleast they're trying? the sabres is a very good team this year and might go all the way. let's go buffalo!

Micro Management by the Owner
I still wonder why people do not look even higher up the ladder. It was not the coach's idea to go, no huddle, fire the O-coordinator, or rewrite the playbook. This spells big time Micro Management. Management above the head coach, one guy, way beyond retirement, who's time has moved on for him. I do not think any changes will really make a difference till the team finds a new person to fill the top office.
11/15/2009 9:05PM
Let's go Buffalo
The season is a disappointment, but there we aren't that far from success. Injuries are shaping the Bill's season, and some personnel decisions are not helping. Some experience on the O-line (did we really cut Walker before the season??) willhelp and a great deal and keeping the defense healthy will be key next year. This team, is a few small steps seperated also-ran to playoffs. On another related subject the Sabres Rule!!
11/15/2009 10:14PM
Rose Colored Glasses
Those Bills fans who claim they are a couple breaks away from being a contender? Take off the rose colored glasses. You were probably first in line to buy a TO jersey. Keep throwing your money into a cold slot machine. What is the definition of insanity?
11/15/2009 10:49PM
Bring Polian Back!
Let's start a petition to bring Bill Polian back. I'm serious. Thurman said a few weeks back that he still has a home here and loves it here. Ralph, swallow your pride and bring this guy back. He is the best GM this franchise has EVER had.
11/15/2009 10:54PM
Tonight
Let's hope the coaches and Edwards are watching tonights game between real NFL teams...maybe they'll see how real men play football
11/16/2009 2:34AM
Punk from Philly
I think it is time to unload the Bills. I just don't think a football can survive here or be viable in the future. I cannot see the Bills rebuilding another Super Bowl like team either, we are too far north, too small, and most coaches or players of any calibur won't end up here in the future. Hate to expose harsh reality, Bills could easily go another 10 years without making playoffs, hopefully nobody will ever see that! Back to chump from Philly, how could you dig up a 1975 loss by the Sabres to the Flyers, that is ancient. I think our sports teams do good for the size of city we are, do we have a lousy record in championships, yes, but at least we have sports teams that aren't a side attraction in most other cities. Yes, we all go to support and watch the Bills, but we love our sports, even if they are losers!

Punk from Philly" just said it all. It's ok to stink as long as we have a team in town.

I gave you 22 years
i have had three season tickets for the past 22 years. It's over. I just gave all the remaining to charity. At least I can get a write off now. As far as I'm concerned Ralph Wilson can take his season tickets and his team and stick them up his 91 year old arse. Loser!!

Bring back the "Fire Dick Jauron" mailbag!!
Being a Bills fan for the past 10 years has been an exercise of insanity: expecting something better, but getting the same result time after time after time...CLEAN HOUSE BRANDON (start with Jauron!)

football comment
I find it frustrating that TO makes it so obvious when he's not going to be a part of the play while at the line of scrimmage. If I can read his body language, sitting in front of my t.v., can't the defense read it as well?!

Brilliant Coaching
I love that one play where the Bills were on offense and the refs blew the play dead. It was a swing pass to the RB or TE, I forget which. So what does Buffalo, with their brilliant coaching staff, do on the next play? Call the EXACT same play! Which of course got stopped for two yards. LOL.

God Save the Bills

Alex Smith, Vince Young
JP Losman? Nope not here in Buffalo we already tossed him under the bus, so no chance of him ever coming back to salvage anything. You ever stop to think you asked for this? If JP was not the QB of the future you did not have one on the roster...guess what...turned out to be true.

Go UB
At least it is fun to watch UB play football...and you know every 4 years there are new players to watch and cheer for...I pretty much had it with the pro's and free agency. it sucks

Goes to show you...
Liberal democrats in Buffalo have run out of people to tax and are scratching their heads as to why people leave (like me). As for the Bills and Sabres, I would rather watch UB play football in lieu of free agency, salary caps, and all of the millions we play these guys to play a game. At least every fours at UB, there is a new team to cheer and get excited about.

Since you want to comment on the Sabres during a Bills article there is only one team that has made the conference finals more than the sabres this decade and that team is The Detriot Redwings so you logic behind the Sabres is way off know the stats before comments like that

1) Buffalo isn't even close to being dead.2) Dont forget how har dit is to win a superbowl or stanley cup. I bet half of you dont even play sports.3) Even the pro teams need to rebuild and the bills are doing it right now.4) Sabres are ranked 5th overall so stop trashing them.
