Primetime: "Nice, two throw away posts in a row." Yeah, yeah. Thanks for the sarcasm Primetime. I'm finally coming out of a hectic month at work and will be able to settle in before and after to write good stuff without having my mind obsess over what's happening at the office. Keep up the amazing job you guys do in the FanPost and FanShots.

Here's what little bit Herm had to say today about this weekend's game.

On Bills QB Trent Edwards...

They’ve got the perfect coach: Coach Jauron. I know Dick and he’s very patient and he understands that when you start a young quarterback like that there are going to be some growing pains. (Edwards) won five games for them out of the gate. He was hot and now he’s struggling a bit. We’ll find out more about him in how he reacts in the next six (games). But when you start young guys they have a tendency to have some games you wish they wouldn’t have. But that’s part of it.

On the Bills recent woes...

Those things, but they’re still in every game for the most part, kind of like us. In the fourth quarter they don’t make a play or two to find a way to seal it. Before that they were making those plays and weren’t turning the ball over as much.

Quick notes

Tamba Hali will play this week
Tony Gonzalez is "moving around pretty good."
Did not practice today: Donnie Edwards and Adrian Jones
Limited: Jarrad Page, Pat Surtain, Pat Thomas and Mark Bradley

And Yet

Jauron is on the hot seat and Herm isn’t. At least Buffalo fans who can’t stand Jauron can see the light at the end of the tunnel.

Supporting the lesser of two evils is still supporting something evil.

Just out of curiosity.

How many times has Jauron made the post-season?

at least once

going one and done with a 13-3 Bears team

Coaching records.

Dick Jauron:
With the Bears: 35-45.
With the Lions: 1-4.
With the Bills: 12-14.
Playoff record: 0-1.

Totals: 48-63.

Herm Edwards:
With the Jets: 39-41.
With the Chiefs: 14-27
Playoff record: 2-4.

Totals: 53-67.

If you could take our current 1-19 stretch out of that and Herm looks a heckuva lot better. Unfortunately, you can’t take that out of there.

So Roughly

About the same kind of coach. Herm’s got a 1% better winning percentage than Jauron. And their teams are both painful to watch and both coaches’ playcalling is extremely suspect.

Maybe we should just call this game Werm Bowl.
