‘WGR Sportsradio 550’s Paul Hamilton has heard rumblings that Holcomb may get the start Sunday against Miami.’

‘Coach Mike Mularkey didn’t say if Edwards will require surgery on the shoulder. Edwards had an MRI on the shoulder Monday.’

‘”I’m sure there are bigger Bills fans – but I’m there every week at 9 in the morning, and I’m there after the game ends,” he said. “And I’ve never had a drink of alcohol at a game … and I’m the loudest one there.”‘

It’s a classic decision. With playoff viability swiftly slipping away, the Bills find themselves in a ticklish position. Do you allow the future quarterback to learn on the job and suffer along with him, or do you try to win games now with a more experienced veteran? How do you balance long-term success versus the short-term need to win?

‘Lastly in the free agent period before April’s draft, Bills’ General Manager Tom Donahoe (assuming he’s still employed) had better look to upgrade the team’s offensive and defensive lines with the salary cap money that Buffalo will have to spend. It is imperative that Losman have time to throw and that the Bills’ defensive line can actually rush the opposing passer. Otherwise, the future for the Bills will be exactly like the present…disappointing.’

‘Clements forgot that he and Mularkey coach ball control football. Willis McGahee needs to be the focal point which will help Losman. I know they like to have gadgets, but Losman is not up to them. COACH FOOTBALL, forget about the crap. Tom Donahoe looks for scapegoats for every season that goes wrong and Clements is putting his name at the top of the list with his cleverness.’

‘It’s not Buffalo’s J.P. Losman who should sit down. It’s his critics.’
