I'll take the SB win, tape the game and 5 years from now, pop it in the VCR each and every Sunday during the football season..

We all know there is only one JP quote that falls under the category of worrisome....
He invited me to the house for me to pick him up, so we went to the house for a little bit and there he was, with his tight little shorts, no shirt, with his little red hat, and he was doing some farming or something because he was covered in dirt. It was awesome, man." - J.P. Losman talking about his visit with Brett Favre.

I found this on another message board. Tice and Martz are constantly battling for the title of Worlds Biggest Buffoon!...
Sep 27 The Star Tribune reports Minnesota Vikings RB Michael Bennett was expected to be the team's No. 2 running back for their Week 3 game. The Vikings planned to use Bennett more than the two plays he actually saw action on. RB Moe Williams mistakenly was used as starting RB Mewelde Moore's primary backup. Williams carried four times for 2 yards, while Bennett carried twice for 4 yards. "I was not pleased with that," head coach Mike Tice said. "No finger pointing at anybody. We were trying to win a game, and you get caught up in offensive schemes and adjustments and trying to fix protection problems and substitutions at times get lost in all of that."

I'm on the bandwagon with you. I've questioned Clements play calling and wondered how much he has to do with developing blocking schemes for every play. Keep in mind he was not an OC with the Steelers, just the QB coach. If the offense continues to sputter, at some point does MM take over the play calling? Wyche?

I'd like to attend, but I'm a little winded.

More fun than watching a 10+ year vet in the twilight of his career needing an alarm clock in order for him to know when to throw the ball.
-
Maybe we don't know what we have. How are high profile guys like Milloy, Vincent, Fletcher, Moulds, Villarial, Adams, Posey, Schobel, Shelton & Teague grading out every week at OBD? Maybe their play on the field isn't equivalent to how they good they look on the depth chart. This is our veteran leadership.

Waiting around for JP to gain his much needed experience is at the expense of the entire team. A team that won't be around when things finally click. By then what we'll have is a QB with no running game, no decent recievers, and a rebuilding defense. Sorry but I'm not looking forward to that>
So the Bills aren't going to replace the older players or ones who leave via F/A with other F/A's or draft picks? Did you also consider that some of the "aging" vets on the team, may not have very much left in the tank right now?
-
In year 6 there is not likely to be a Moulds, Clements, Teague, the Takeo we knew, and Adams. So now that we need reinforcement in those areas, not to mention the rest of the holes to plug, how do you see year 6 being appreciably different than years 1-5? At what point do we admit that Teflon was the biggest mistake, in terms of building a winner?
If TD is a good GM, he takes the money that was spent on those players you mention and reloads via F/A and the draft ASAP. If not, he is not as good as some think.
-
In the off-season, I expected the Bills to go 8-8 or 9-7. Looks like 7-9 or 8-8 may be a reasonable goal at this point.
-
The Bills get a pass this year, but if they miss the playoffs next year, in YEAR 6 of the TD master plan, I'd have to question TD's effectiveness as GM of the Bills.

I just listened to Jim Kelly on WGR and he got me all fired up. He kept referring to the Bills as "we" and said he will never jump off the Bills bandwagon. He talked about JP and how he needs to keep on studying and gain some confidence by having the coaches design shorter pass patterns and throw the ball to Moulds on crossing routes.
PS Kelly agreed with me regarding the fans leaving early with the Bills only one score behind...

If our OL stinks so much, could somebody explain to me how TB whose OL is a bunch of cast-offs are paving the way for the NFL's leading rusher. Better coaching, better RB, better talent on the OL or all of the above?

Hello guys and gals.....put away your unrealistic expectations (I've already filed mine away) because this team is nowhere near ready to compete.
The offensive line is nowhere near good enough from a pass protection standpoint and can only run the ball effectively against a 7 man front.
Teague won't be signed this year, Villarrial should be cut as well, he's 33 or so and gets paid too much for an overall average performance. Mike Williams IS now officially a disappointment. (Kudos to the guys that have been saying this the past two years). Anderson is a big fat blob that can't get to the second level on any defense. Gandy is our best lineman right now!!! He's a quality player, but should be a guard in this league.
Our D line is fading fast. Adams is slowing down, Kelsay and Schobel are marginal pass rushers and get bulldozed against the run. Edwards is a back up. Tim Anderson looks to be only a marginal starter at this point.
The game of football is won in the trenches. We haven't had a strong calibre Oline since the 1992 season.
We have aging safeties, a starting corner that will leave via free agency this year and Willis McGahee doesn't look happy in Buffalo at all.
JP will take a season or two, but looks like he'll be a good NFL QB.
3 years Bills fans before we can say playoffs!!!! Sorry to be the bearer of bad news.
A good GM can turn a mediocre team into a playoff team in one offseason. I don't buy this crap, that we are 3 years from being competitive.

This team was supposed to win based on great defense and special teams, and an adequate offense that did not turn the ball over much, and let a pea green QB get his feet wet. The offense is not great, but has turned the ball over only twice in three games and scored on the first three drives yesterday, and got 16 points. This team is supposed to win 10-6, 13-7, 16-9, etc. This defense is supposed to be great--16 points needs to be enough to win 95% of the time.
What did the defense do? It gave up touchdowns on the FIRST TWO possessions. It allowed a ridiculous 60 yard run to permit a FG right before half-time when the other team had given up trying to score. When the Bills closed to 17-16 early in the second-half, special teams covered the ensuing kickoff at the Atlanta 3. A hold and the Bills are in scoring position for the lead likely off the PUNT Return. What happens, a 60 yard drive. The defense, except for the one pick, did absolutely nothing to help the O. Nothing.
There may be a very small gap between what we could reasonably expect and what we are getting on offense. But there is a chasm between what we expected on defense and what we are getting. If the defense is just decent yesterday, WE WIN. People who think we are going to win by becoming an offensive juggernaut with Holcomb or otherwise are fools. This team rises and falls on defense and special teams. The prospects look dim right now, given the defense's play and now the huge loss of Spikes. But bailing on JP is crazy, and shows how little patience people have, and how little they understand the game in general and the Bills in particular. Good God... CD
Excellent post. The Bills defense which everyone expected to step up to the plate and hold teams down, has not been able to accomplish this the last two weeks. I find it funny that so many who said that the Bills will not miss PW because he only played 1/2 to 2/3's of the time are now using him as an excuse for the woes of the defense. Would I have given PW the money? No and I don't believe that losing one starter out of 11 ruins your defense. Especially when he is a DT on the wrong side of his career who only plays part time.
-
The truth...DB would have given us a chance to go 9-7 or 10-6. If the Bills had made the playoffs, they would have been clobbered. I stand by my opinion that DB could not take the Bills to the SB. Therefore, I was in favor of the decision to let DB go and take our lumps with JP in 2005.
-
It's funny...when DB was here, the OL was bad, we didn't have a Ben Coates clone at TE, the WR sucked, blah blah blah.
Nothing has changed this year regarding the above, yet it's all JP's fault? Go figure.
-
And it could haunt him his entire career. Which would make his career short. Hopefully he'll get over it. I Like the kid. But again, it's a coach's game. And mularkey has not impressed me yet. Like him, but I'm not impressed. If I could trade him right now for Saban, I would.
Too negative for ya? Well, whatever. I'm sick of the same old story with minor edits.
WTF...Did you expect Losman to be an All-Pro right out of the gate. Go back and take a look at Eli Manning when he came in for Warner last year. 3 games and you are ready to write off his career. Did I expect that Losman through 3 games would show more signs than he has? Sure I did, but I'm not ready to write him off, because he hasn't.
-
Like I said before, unless he continues like this for the remaining 13 games, showing no improvement, he more than likely will get another shot next year. He's going to have ups and downs this season. Can you give him at least a few more games before you get on the Leinhart bandwagon.
Why a timetable for Roscoe's injury now??

Maybe because his name is Roscoe Parrish and not Terrell Owens or Chad Johnson. I don't think opposing DC's are losing sleep at night worrying about a 3rd WR who has yet to play an NFL game.
