Schonert's jab at Jauron is as empty as the Bill's offensive stat sheets. His offense has been a failure for the last 15 games including this preseason. The quarterback couldn't run it. To suggest that an extra 100 formations would have turned things around is like Sadam suggesting that Iraq might have won the Gulf War if they had better uniforms. Turk…baby…..an offense is supposed to produce points. You can't win games without them. If Van Pelt can't get more production this discussion will be a footnote to a full blown team collapse in 2009. After battling to attain mediocrity the last three years this team will lose its will to fight if the offense fails again. The defense isn't good enough to carry the load.

Perhaps for the same reason I chose this for my first ever comment. I was one of those left wondering just whom Dick Jauron held ransom after his return from a third consecutive season of continued mediocracy. That said, a new outlook, innovation and a surprise addition this season seemed about to reinvent the wheel. Siince then some questionable decisions have been made….
Why then with a coach described as amicable and conservative, a team as predictable and tentative, should there be any controversy in firing the O.C. for installing too complicated an offense? We have to take a shot sometime. Right? I guess someone had to take the fall. Wrong guy? Your call. Go Bills!!!

I think you find it interesting enough to write about because the issue of a complicated, or not, offense will rear its ugly head with the Browns, also. In theory, a new coach might keep things simple so as to not challenge the mental midgets that he has inherited. Then, when they're "his boys", load up their plates. But it seems that Mangini isn't one of those coaches, either here or in Newt York. If the Browns start out slow, especially on the offensive side, we are going to hear some the players complain about the too many plays in the playbook, and other statements that indicate their brain stems are just stuffed.

Jonah, I understand you make not like TO's mouth, but make no mistake about his talent. He will provide a credible threat opposite Lee Evans. I wonder do people ever take the time to look at TO's career stats. I think they may surprise some folks.

Any offensive strategy that limits the catches and overexposed mouth of T.O. is a good strategy in my book. Media people, please ignore the Bills and maybe that egomaniac will just fade away.
