All I can say is WOW.
I should start by saying I have never been a fan of either Dick Jauron or JP Losman. Where did the Bills go wrong today? This is the worst Bill’s game I have seen in a long while. And Jauron and Losman do not seem to care. The last three weeks the Bills have come from behind with Trent Edwards under center. When the Bills were down, Edwards was shown on the sidelines talking with the coaching staff, other players, figuring out what they needed to change to take control of this game again. Today I watched JP Losman on more than one occasion, just sitting by himself, drinking water/gatorade and sulking.
Get over it JP, your the backup now, but your still being paid to play. Just because you are not on the field doesn’t mean you don’t need to be communicating with your team. Your inability to lead and play smart football was shown again today.
Tell me again why Dick Jauron did not challenge the fumble that ultimately killed his team’s chance of winning this football game? From the angle that I saw it, it was a fumble, and a well played down by the Arizona Cardinals. Why won’t Dick Jauron win any big football games? Because he doesn’t take chances or show emotion. The Cardinals coach on the other hand, had the game almost won, and instead of taking a field goal at 4th and 1, he took a chance and went for a touchdown, and it paid off, and it sealed the Bills fate.
Other than those two individuals, coupled with the loss of Trent Edwards - this loss does not mean Buffalo is a bad team, or destined to lose a lot more football games (unless Edwards is out long term, JP proved today he cannot be trusted with a football game). What happened here today was the Bills hit a team playing the best football they can, a team with a coach who wants to win. No one could have beat the Arizona Cardinals this week, no one.
I think the Giants would have beaten the Cards this week. Anyway, I agree with your assessment. I was surprised Jauron didn’t challenge that fumble. He had nothing to lose at that point. Although I think it was a fumble, you had to do something there to try to swing it back your way, right? The 4th and 1 going for it at the end instead of settling for 3 points was huge. In the end it didn’t make a difference, but it showed the Cards wanted to make sure they won the game. Kicking the field goal, they still could have been beaten by 3 TD’s
October 5th, 2008 at 5:51 pmGreat write-up. Jaroun and JP should both be shipped out of town this year. Our great start is attributable to Edwards and the offensive D, and Special Teams coordinators. Jaroun looks like he’s dead half the time. When we came back to beat Oakland he barley managed a smile. I honestly think he could care less if we win or loose. Show some emotion and lead your players like a coach is supposed to!
