Your "journeyman" is technically a rookie.

Cullpepper fumbled again, making it 69 fumbles in his 60 game NFL career. McNabb has found TO only once so far. Neither one has QB'd a Conference Championship winner. Woohoo, aren't they the second coming of Johnny U

Idiotic post of the week nominee right there lads.

I don't think DB played that poorly. Sure, he had his moments, but he wasn't helped by the OL and all of the drops by his receivers, not to mention the crappy field position after 2 return penalties. He seems to be making quicker reads and going to his check-down much more effectively than last season. The drops and the appearant lack of seperation by the WRs were far more harmful than anything DB did.

And I remember another team that was 2-0 after blowing out the Pats and Jags, and their season didn't turn out so well... My point being that 2 games do not a season make.

Well said.

Good post and welcome aboard the er... board. As you can probably tell, the "experts" here are putting the blame squarely on Bledsoe. Seems they recognize he's responsible for dropped passes. He also gives up the deep ball on 3rd and 4th down without simply batting the ball down. And don't get me started about his two holding penalties that nullified returns of 60 and 80 some-odd yards. And who could forget his holding penalty on the last possession of the Jags game that nullified a McGahee 1st down run and forced us to punt to Jax. Bledsoe needs to eliminate penalties and start making the damn field goals. [/sarcasm] This team isn't perfect, and there's alot of blame to go around if one chooses to assign it. But calling for the QB without knowing what plays were called, what his reads were, when and where he audibled, how HE handles the blitz, etc, is displaying what should be an embarassing ignorance of the nuances of modern football. This team is very close to being very good, their defense has been playing lights-out for over a year now, and I believe that as the OL continues to gel and work with our well-respected OL coach (Jim McNally), the difference between our current offense and our Week 16 offense will be night and day.

Holy stevestojan that's too funny

Would you have prefered we lost in blowouts? After reading your posts I'm under the impression if the Bills beat the Raiders 51-3 on Sunday you'd be pissed because either: A-> We didn't score 60 points, or B-> We gave up 3 points. If the Bills create so much consternation in your life, why do you continue to follow them?

The play you cited had hilight reel written all over it until Reed failed to make the catch. Had he closed his hands on the ball and fell backwards to gain a foot after the catch that would have been a huge 1st down play at a pivotal time in the game. Instead, Reed drops it, Bledsoe gets an incomplete on his stat sheet, and the lemmings start clamoring. But for what, for whom? Shane Matthews? Yeah, he's the answer. [/sarcasm]

I for one don't miss the "Bickering Bills."

Did any of the people listed above besides me pick the Bills to beat the Pats?

Nice summary. They're 0-2 by a grand total of 6 points, they aren't getting blown out of games. A play here and a play there, and these guys are 2-0. I'm looking forward to the Pats game, I think Buffalo will win it.

ICE, I'm not as inclined to think the suicide-watch rantings are pathetic, but I do think they're boringly predictable - It's the same people every year. I wonder why some of these people even follow the Bills since every loss appears to be a life-shattering occurence. By their tone, after two consecutive losses I start to wonder how some of these people mustered the strength to get out of bed this morning...

What is this "optimism" of which you speak? Words like that aren't used here...

Seems we did watch different games then. Did your game have Henry consistently losing his footing? Did your game have several costly penalties on Offense and Special Teams? Did your game have the drops by Moulds, Campbell, and Henry? Did your game show the ball going through Henry's hands causing an interception? Did your game have the announcers saying that Henry should have caught the ball? Did your game show any instant replays? DB was far from perfect, but hanging the blame for the loss on him is nothing short of a display of ignorance IMO. Don't get your panties in a bunch, it's week 2.

EXACTLY!!!! Or did Simon and I miss the press conference where Bills brass said anything short of 16-0 was a miserable failure? Get a grip folks, after 2 weeks this season is over?

The receivers not getting good seperation was DB's fault too?

Since the battery idiot light was on for some time before it croaked, my guess would be a bad cell in the battery. But I'm no mechanic, nor did I stay at a Holiday Inn Express last night

The Pro Football Hall of Fame does not induct players as a member of a specific team like Cooperstown does. That said, I imagine his Bills career will be well-represented.

That really was a fun day, thanks to all for making it great. But man, those tailgating hours before kickoff seem to go so fast

Look for a case manufactured by Targus, they're great.

10 hours from Ricmond? Dang Pooj, you must drive slooooooow
