I am hoping that they are keeping him under wraps for future division opponents...
It may also be that the O-line isn't yet capable of holding their blocks for that long. A confident QB is better than a creamed QB. I just don't think TC, SW, and JMac set Drew up to get pummelled like that this early in the season.

It was outside the division, but it was in conference. It's the type of game that would haunt us if we're in a wildcard race with Jax.
That said, it seems that the killer instinct was lacking. Maybe this will wake a few people up...
When the D gets the type of rest it does (i.e. the first half) there is no reason to take most of a series off as in the one that led to the first three points for Jax.

I for one would like to thank you for what you do. Do me a favor and if you kill one of our enemies at close range, don't forget to bring some bacon grease with you...

If there is any razzle dazzle, (personally I'd be a little disappointed if there was) I'd like to see a direct snap to either Henry or Willis (only if Travis can't hold on to it)...
Oh no, I had a thought like FM, time to slit my wrists...
Something like a 30 Dive would certainly set a tone I'd like to see.

After last year's high expectations, I'm glad. I think this team is the best since Home run throw up, but I think I'd rather sneak up on people...

No, thank you!

Put this together with the fact that Phillips departure was predicated by Ralph insisting that he fire an assistant and I wonder if ended up with Williams in part because "quality" coaches were looking at the Bills as being a team that micro-managed its coaches and over-ruled their decisions (and thus not answering the calls or turning down the job...).
Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding!
I don't think the rest of the league appreciated the way RW dismissed WP and JB. It has probably kept RW out of the HOF the last few years. Add the fact that TD and Bill Cower had a rough time and an arguement can be made that if TD had dismissed Gregg, the Bills reputation as an organization would have gone down the tank.
Instead, Gregg's contract was not renewed. While I was calling for GW's head early in October, I think over the long term TD made the right choice.

You know, I am just not that worried about the offense. We had two key injuries last year in Travis Henry and Eric Moulds. Even with last year's patch - work line we we able to move the ball in the first two games. I believe we were moving it against the Fish when TH was hurt. But there wasn't much depth at RB, and that force us to need better receivers than we had. Then Eric goes down and the receiver corps gets worse.
This year, it seems to me the skill positions have more depth.
Also, the first team patch - work line did a pretty good job against the Titans first team D.
What I am worried about is the defense. There is a pretty good chance either Pat or Sam will go down. Without them, the defense is not the same. The same can be said for Fletcher, Spikes and Milloy. There is a huge dropoff in talent at those positions.
If the defense plays at the level it did a year ago, this team is no worse than 10-6 and may be better than that. But that is a very big if...

Well said. It seems that every mobile QBs go down hard at least once in his career. Somehow, in the future, I doubt a late hit will catch him off guard.
Besides, could you imagine what it would be like if he went down in the first game of 2007 (or 2006)? That would be much worse for his career, and the Bills.
Marv Levy had a policy about not playing rookies. Personally, I thought it was a good policy. They learn the game better. When they finally hit the field, they don't have think about the game because it is almost second nature. That makes them better as a player and reduces the risk of injury...

Given that the strength of the Jags D is against the run, I find that 36 Rushes and 26 Passes very encouraging. There was no "We'll take what they'll give us" retoric. They pounded it and held an 8 minute time of posession advantage.
Another encouraging thing is the 7-14 3rd down conversions.
While obviously I'd have preferred a win like the one last year against the Jags, I feel much more optimistic about the prospects for the rest of the season.
Leftwich impresses me. He took a pounding that would have rattled many QBs, but the bad stats don't tell how resilient he was. The D let up a little before the half and again in the last drive, and he took advantage of both opportunities.
