That description fits this Bills team perfectly

Most of these penalties were identical to this weeks, in that they would be classified as mental mistakes, usually committed by an undisciplined team. That description fits this Bills team perfectly.On rare occasions, leadership among the players can overcome some of these obstacles. Regrettably, for the Bills, what passes for leadership on the offensive side of the ball is Trent Edwards, a quarterback who lacks the courage to overcome his own mistakes. In trying to play error-free football, Edwards plays passively, without any aggression at all. This was evident in yesterday's four yard pass when one of about 12 to 15 yards was necessary. On the rare occasion when Edwards does try to be bold, if he should throw an interception, that will be the end of any downfield attempts for the day and perhaps for next week as well. Unlike the great ones, who throw a pick and shrug it off to resume attacking at the next opportunity, when Edwards throws an interception, he reverts to dump-off passes which move the offense at a snail's pace if at all, never gaining enough yards to make up for one dropped ball, which results in an inevitable punt by the Bills.Surely, Edwards needs better protection from what passes as an offensive line in Buffalo. The huge question there is, knowing howsub-par this unit is, how could the Bills allow Jason Peters to go unsigned, and eventually be traded to Philadelphia Must have something to do with the tremendous ability to evaluate personnel of the general manager.With this year's edition of the Bills clearly doomed to a fate somewhere along the lines of 4-12, one can only hope for next year. However, any high hopes for that would have to be predicated on some dramatic changes. I have a few suggestions.Ralph Wilson needs to kick Russ Brandon back upstairs into a marketing-only role. He also needs to kick Dick Jauron to the curb.Place a call to Floyd Reese, currently acting as a consultant in New England. As a GM, Mr Reese rebuilt the Tennessee Titans not once, but twice.

Instruct him to bring Cowher to Buffalo to rebuild this once-proud franchise, and to disregard the cost. Tell Cowher he is free to bring in any coaches he should choose, along with any scouting personnel he values. Tell them that there are no players currently on the roster who are indispensable, and that any who they feel are not on board with what they intend to accomplish are to be summarily dismissed. There are no guarantees that this would result in an immediate turnaround for the Bills. But, if nothing else, Bills fans would most likely not have to sit through games where the offense spends four quarters shooting itself in the foot with undisciplined play resulting in nine false start penalties. Not to mention the fact that there would be reason for having real hope for the future. As it stands now, the only hope Bills fans have is for a high first round pick next year that hopefully won't be wasted. .
