Jets vs. Bills-What Just Happened?


Did anybody else notice that the Jets defense forgot to show up to the yesterday?

Did J.P Losman really come that close to beating the Jets?

Is Dick Jauron a moron?


These are the questions I was left asking myself after the Jets lucky win against the hapless Buffalo Bills Sunday afternoon.


Watching the Jets march up and down the field so effortlessly their first 2 drives of the game, I was filled with relief. Thinking to myself, "Where has this been? Thank god." Unfortunately that feeling didn't last after a hokey Brett Favre interception that lead to a Bills touchdown. I was still feeling O.K but once again, that feeling didn't last.


The Jets defense which had been the driving force during their 5 game winning streak, has now become nothing more than a whisper in the wind. Marshawn Lynch cut up the Jets D like he was on Iron Chef. The difficulty in which the Jets had tackling was mind boggling. It was like watching Eric Mangini in front of a Donut Buffet. It's going to be ugly and end horribly. I mean honestly, the Jets D gave up 27 points to a J.P Losman lead offense. Do I really need to elaborate any more to show how much this defense is struggling?
But the guy who gets the Dunce of The Day Award goes to.......Bills Head Coach Dick Jauron.
Why in your right mind with 2 minutes left in the game and your team up by a field goal, would you ever EVER decide to throw the ball? Especially with the way Lynch was stampeding through the Jets. Especially when J.P Losman is your QB. What was he thinking? Better yet, what were the Bills owners thinking? Quite literally 5 minutes after watching their team blow what seemed to be a sure victory, the Bills announced that they had extended Jauron's contract for 3 years. WHAT?! Could the timing be any worse? Couldn't this wait until the end of the season and not while still in the shadow of the Moron Move O' The Year?
Either way, the Jets won and are still leading the AFC East at 9-5. But please don't let this "victory" cloud your judgement. This team, more specifically this defense, is in a ton of trouble.

Dick Jauron has been doing this for years. He is a terrible coach. Just so you know, the rumors of Jauron's extension started when the team was 5-1 and doing great. Buffalo ownership, coaches, etc do not discuss contracts during a season. We Buffalo fans can only pray that extension was never signed, but I'm sure that cheap bastard ralph wilson already did it. Lets hope the last 8 weeks, including the cherry on top yesterday, wilson has changed his mind

No announcement on Jauron till after the season
