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... http://www.stadiumwall.com/index.php?showtopic=31303

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?

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.

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.

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.

I'm making the assumption that he shows some progress throughout the course of this season. I agree that if at the end of December, he is still throwing for 100 yards a game, completing less than 50 percent of his passes and being inaccurate, it will not be pretty.

...except for the fact that one guy is a 10+ year vet and the other has started 3 game s in the NFL.

Is the word "premature" in your vocabulary?

I agree. Losman has to be given a couple of years. He would have to play ridiculously bad for him not to get all of this year and next to show his abilities.

I can't begin to imagine how much Weis' visit meant to the young boy and his family. I know the boy is gone now, but I'm positive Weis put a smile on his face one last time. God bless this boy, his family and Weis for making the effort to give this boy one last moment of happiness.

What does DB's play in the first three games have to do with JP having to "pick it up"?

I agree. Putting in Holcomb is no better an option than bringing back DB for another year of mediocrity. Leave JP in for the forseeable future.

I did notice how the Bills had HUGE plays after the "switcheroo". The Falcons didn't know what hit them.

He's just a SYSTEM QB. Brady should get no credit for the Pats success. Their kicker was the SB MVP, their OC was a genius, their WR's are super quick and run great routes, the OL gives him 20 seconds to throw the ball, etc...

It's not time to start the backup QB until people learn how to spell his name. Last night it was HolcombE, today it is HolcUmb. H-O-L-C-O-M-B

Maybe Posey is jealous of all the positions that Peters should play(per TSW) and he wants a piece of the action.

The Bills have designed plays(besides short yardage) where Moulds is on the bench? Like I said, I'm beginning to wonder about Tom Clements.

It's a long season and we are only three games in, but after the last two disappointing performances, maybe it's time to look at the possibility that the players, coaches and front office staff are not as good as they look on paper. Maybe expectations for year 5 of the TD era were inflated by the fact that the Bills beat up on some of the NFL's lightweights during the 2nd half of the 2004 season. Let's hope they can turn things around.

Actually the long attempted bombs to Moulds were heading towards the tunnel endzone. The plays in question, were when the Bills were heading towards the scoreboard endzone.

http://www.buffalonews.com/editorial/20050925/1041745.asp The Sabres have endured a melancholy week. General Manager Darcy Regier, Ruff and six players flew to Chicago on Friday to attend the funeral of former teammate Curtis Brown's 5-month-old daughter, who died unexpectedly.

There were multiple plays where either Evans or Moulds were on the bench in the first half(could have happened in the 2nd half but I wasn't paying close attention). If Moulds isn't worthy of being out there on ALL offensive sets except for short yardage, then ship him and his huge salary out of here and bring in someone else next year. Also, one of the dumbest things I've seen the Bills do for two years running....After a change of possession with the Bills going on offense, they wait for the referee to start the play clock and then they run 4 guys into the huddle from the bench and 4 others go running off. Who the F*** do they think they are fooling with this "trickery"? I'm starting to wonder how much of the Bills offensive woes(including the OL) should be attributed to Tom Clements?

Thank you!
