November 19, 200817 yr comment_52129 Sounds a lot like Zombie Smith... http://www.profootballweekly.com/PFW/The+W...+It/default.htm Buffalo Nov. 13, 2008 By Matt Sohn Bills' lack of inspiring leadership holding them back Coaches often stress the importance of not getting too high or too low in response to whatever situation a team finds itself in. Dick Jauron and the Bills are doing that well … too well, in fact. In talking to sources close to the club, the lack of emotion and fiery leadership both on the coaching staff and on the roster is keeping Buffalo from escaping the doldrums of their three-game losing streak. After being praised for his calm in the pocket in a terrifically efficient start to the season, Trent Edwards' measured stoicism has reflected the offensive stagnation he has directed. Meanwhile, Donte Whitner's absence with a shoulder injury has left the defense without more than just it's most talented defensive back. “Donte's really the only guy this team can rally around,” one source said. “Without him, there's nobody on this team who will make sure you're busting your tail out there.” Report

Lovie won 2. Why is this a discussion point???? Peace Report
November 19, 200817 yr comment_52133 The Bills are struggling to their QB, IMO. Edwards was good but he's struggling. He's only started 19 games so it's understandable. Jauron is an awful coach. He's only had 2 seasons of over .500 in 9 years of coaching. Report
November 19, 200817 yr comment_52134 Jauron never won a playoff game for the Bears. Lovie won 2. Why is this a discussion point???? Peace It's a discussion point because Jauron the Moron was a bad coach with the Bears who elicited nearly no supporting emotion from his players. He also just happened to be bad at game changes and adjustments. Not only that, but he basically lost his job because he stubbornly held onto an assistant coach who was borderline retarded. All of those points sound quite a bit like Zombie Smith, and it's just a reminder that while Zombie Smith may have delivered the team an NFC Championship, he has been considerably worse since that season. It's also a reminder that the Bears are, IMHO, still probably searching for the right guy for the job. Report
