Bills 47, Jaguars 10
DOUG PEDERSON: You hate to say it, but this is the reality of it. This is who we are right now, and we're not a very good football team. We got to get it fixed. Got to come up with some answers and got to do it in a hurry.
Q. What was it you saw from the start? (Indiscernible.)
DOUG PEDERSON: I mean, just kind of the same things, right? I mean. (Sound went out. )
Yeah, just wasn't good.
Q. 13 of three pass run early on those first two drives, most lags or screens. Did that catch you guys by surprise?
DOUG PEDERSON: No, that's kind of what their offense has been this year. You know, they've executed it well and a lot of things come off that. They did a good job, you know, of executing their offense.
Q. Where is Trevor's confidence level right now?
DOUG PEDERSON: You know, if he's like me right now, we're all kind of down, right? You know, probably not very high. You know, we just got to keep working and keep pushing and work our way out of it.
Q. What are the fixes you can make or immediate changes, things you can do?
DOUG PEDERSON: We got look at the tape and decide this week on a short week. I don't know some of those answers.
Q. Coach, do you just stick with what you're trying to do or do -- I know you can't rep everything, but do you just to have keep trying to figure out what you want, the game plan, or can you go in an opposite direction?
DOUG PEDERSON: Well, I don't necessarily think you go in an opposite direction. You've invested a lot of time.
But there has to be changes, whether it's play design, personnel, everything is on the table let's call it, right? Those are all things that we have to -- I have to look at, we have to look at as a staff, and make the adjustments.
Q. Is it guys not responding to whatever you guys are trying to do?
DOUG PEDERSON: It's not for lack of effort or trying and all that. I just think that sometimes you just to have get out of your own way, right? We just keep digging ourselves in a hole early and can't seem to dig our way out of it, especially as one-sided as this game was today.
Q. (No microphone.)
DOUG PEDERSON: I mean, it's usually kind of human nature when you get down so fast. Now you're waiting for something to happen. You know, it's a hard position to be in. We have to be other the other side of it. We have to make things happen earlier than later.
Q. In your coaching career, couple years ago got crushed in one of those games by Detroit. Will you lean on some of the stuff you were able to figure out or is this a different animal?
DOUG PEDERSON: No, you definitely have to look back and see what got you through certain tough times. You know, it's a week-to-week deal. We're three weeks in; we're not very good right now. We got two division games coming up back-to-back.
I'll tell you this: No one is going to feel sorry for us, right? I mean, this is who we are right now. It's not very good, right? We have to be honest with ourselves. I've got to be honest with myself.
Just keep plugging away.
Q. Talking about personnel changes, does that include every starter or does that include the quarterback potentially?
DOUG PEDERSON: I mean, you say everything is on the table, we got to take a look at injury. You know, tonight we had some guys injured. Could be moved that way. Could be performance. It's all things we have to evaluate as we move forward.
Q. What do you know about Foye?
DOUG PEDERSON: Yeah, we'll know more. You know, Jarrian's shoulder, Foye's foot, Gabe came out late with a shoulder that he injured last week.
So all things that I just don't know the status. I just know they were hurt and didn't go back in the game. So we'll figure out that as the week goes.
Q. Do you start losing a little confidence or second guess yourself?
DOUG PEDERSON: No, I don't lose confidence in myself. One of the things I have to do is evaluate our process, what are we doing, is it beneficial for the team, right? Is it helping us win?
Obviously it's not right now, so those are all things I have to look at moving forward.
Q. Is there something that you're doing that you can at least point to and say, okay, we can build off this as we move forward?
DOUG PEDERSON: I really want to say something funny right now. (Laughter.)
I just can't think of anything. Maybe the kickoff. Touchback. I don't know. Listen, I get the question. I kind of wanted to be that time.
Gosh, it's just these guys -- listen, they work too hard. You watch them during the week. I mean, they work too hard and then this is what happens. This is the result.
I mean, it just goes to show you each week how important each week is and being ready to play. You know, it's the NFL. You know, it's week to week. Like I said no one is going to feel sorry for you, and you just got to keep working.
Q. Feel like yourself esteem just hasn't handled the expectation coming in? (Indiscernible) I don't want to go back to last year, but...
DOUG PEDERSON: I mean, it's possible I guess. I don't know. Sometimes you want it bad enough, you know. Listen, I know locker room, they're hurting too, just like I am. They want to win and they want it bad enough, too. We've got the right guys. It's not like we don't.
The right guys are in the room and the right leaders. We just have to -- I have to figure out a way to get more out of them, right? It's not more from practicing harder, longer. It's not that. It's just getting more, whether it's leadership during games, you know, how they address the team, whatever that looks like, right?
Those are things I got to figure out.
Q. You need Trevor to play markedly better than he has been?
DOUG PEDERSON: I need everybody to coach and play better. Just leave it at that.
Q. You mentioned being ready to play. Feel like over the last three weeks there is a lot of players or a lot of processes just not ready?
DOUG PEDERSON: I feel like the guys are ready. Feel like they're -- by the end of the week they're in a good place, there is energy, and then it's not translating to the game.
That is the part that I think bothers you a little bit, because I do see how hard they work and what they put in during the week and that it's not translating.
Those are the things I got to figure out.
