Is Bills HC Jauron's job on the line?

Sep 04, 2009

If the Bills get off to a poor start, it is reasonable that owner Ralph Wilson would at least strongly consider a head coaching change before the fans are in open rebellion.

No one expects Buffalo to win its opener at the Patriots on Monday, Sept. 14, but the fans will grow restless if the Bills lose to the rebuilding Bucs in the home opener Sept. 20. If the Bills can't put consistent pressure on Bucs QB Byron Leftwich, it would be a huge disappointment.

If the Bills somehow lose to Tampa Bay, the pressure would be on coach Dick Jauron heading into Week 3, when the high-powered Saints come to Ralph Wilson Stadium. That will be a very difficult matchup for the offensively challenged Bills.

For the record, the Bills have had four in-season coaching changes in their history, but none in a very long time.

“I will be playing on Sunday. Very excited, can’t pass up playing the Packers. I will be out there for sure.”

George Kittle says he’s good to go for Sunday

Related Players: Eric Saubert

Fantasy Impact:

Kittle returns to a great matchup against a Packers defense that ranks 26th in TE aFPA. He should be fired up as a high-end TE1 once again.

Per Bears head coach Matt Eberflus: Ryan Bates remains in the concussion protocol. Elijah Hicks (ankle) and D'Andre Swift (groin) won't practice.

Teven Jenkins will be limited.

Related Players: Roschon Johnson, Travis Homer

Fantasy Impact:

This is definitely a situation to keep an eye on, as Johnson would have a huge workload if Swift were to miss Week 12. Homer has three rush attempts and zero targets on the year.
