Just because the entire team sucked shouldn't make Drew's horrendous night any more acceptable. Sooner or later it needs to be more about the future then who may give you the best chance to win now. We are still rebuilding, and a team that is rebuilding does not scratch and claw for W's behind a veteran quarterback who will not be around in a year. They take the lumps with younger players hoping that it will pay dividends down the road.

We might just have a difference in philosophy, personally I don't think the Akili/Leaf/Klingler's failed because they got thrown to the wolves. I think they failed because QB is a extremely difficult position that takes a rare player to be successful. I look at what the Jaguars are doing this year and hope that we can mirror what they have been able to accomplish next season. Last year they start Leftwhich (sp?) in replace of the ineffective Brunell. Leftwhich takes his lumps, the team shows slow progress, and because of the experience Leftwhich got his team was ready to unite behind him at the start of this year. You can then look at Carson Palmer as a alternative. Palmer gets no time last season and is named the starter for this year. While he is beginning to come around it's no surprise to me that its happening 7-8 games into the season. Game experience is allowing him to improve and actually be the leader of the Bengals. This is what I want JP to be able to get out of the way in what has already become a lost season. This philosophy is not 100% and plenty of quarterbacks take different paths to success. As a side note I agree that Mathews would probably give us the best chance at winning this season, but to me doing whatever we can to increase our chances next year is more important then finishing 6-10, 7-9, or 8-8 this year.

I thought he tore something for sure when I saw the replay, my jaw hit the floor when he walked off the field. You could be right, lots of times a player will walk off and you find out the next day his season his over.

I don't think our season can be resurrected no matter who is taking the snaps. What I do think is we can save 2005 by starting Losman now.

Have you watched the Saints at all this seaon? Haslett would make Gregg Williams look like Vince Lombardi.

My argument for starting JP is this, what do we have to play for this year? Will we make the playoffs? No. Of course we should try and win every game that we play but we need to get JP some experience no matter how ugly it gets. If you sit JP this year he ends up taking his lumps next year, I don't know about you guys but in order to keep my mental health I need to believe we become a winner next season.

JP won't start next week and I don't know why. I just know he won't and since I can not come up with any valid statement to support such a decision I'm even more frustrated. This is what I expect from Mularkey this week Drew didn't play his best game but as a team we just did not come ready to play. New England challenged us and we did not respond. Drew still gives this team the best opportunity to win football games so that is the direction we will go right now. Please can you just save the sugar coating for one week. Say something logical, anything but what I just said. ...ANYTHING!!!!

Oh no JP just pulled a Rob Johnson

It was perfect coverage, not even close to PI. Not like we would have a chance to come back but that was total BS.

Bench Bledsoe, let the people have a voice, fight the man!!

Please Drew apologists, just say one thing good about this POS. Every road game it's the exact same result, why on earth did we expect it to be different this time.

:I starred in Brokeback Mountain: Drew :I starred in Brokeback Mountain: :I starred in Brokeback Mountain: :I starred in Brokeback Mountain: :I starred in Brokeback Mountain: :I starred in Brokeback Mountain: :I starred in Brokeback Mountain: :I starred in Brokeback Mountain: You SOB, you ruined this team for to long

No way Patrick just said that.....#21 is Gay. I know I know I'll shut up now

When your on the field that much its hard to expect them to play well. Offense need to get its stevestojan together.

Well Sam came to play, thats about it

I got a good one, we suck right now. The good thing is New England can't capitalize, if they could it would be 21-0. As is I expect it to get a lot worse the next few minutes unless Buffalo can make a big play.

3 and not 7, thank god, if it was 10-0 this game would be over in a hurry. Lets get some points for christ sakes!

How was that not grounding? Brady throws it away inside the pocket in the end zone. Rules say thats 2 points, how can they announcers not even bring that up?

You see the in route wide open over the middle on the near pick by Harrison? Jesus Drew wake the F up

I honestly can't believe what I'm seeing, no it can't be real, it just can't

In

Haha...type in hummer

If Ralph gives the Bills to his wife then the estate tax would not be applied until she passes away.

The BCS system is starting to hurt the way I look at college football for the reasons you mentioned. IMO Auburn deserves to go but I would not replace Oklahoma with Auburn, I would replace USC with Auburn. The Pac-10 is a pathetic excuse for a conference this season and the fact that they exclude SOS from the formula now is pure BS. Would somebody please implement a freaking playoff system? Until you let the players decide who's best the system will suck.

Several factors make the Bills future situation tricky, the largest one being Ralph's age and the impending estate tax when he passes away. The government applies a 50% estate tax upon death on any assets exceeding 1.5 million. If the franchise is valued at 637 million then Ralph would owe 317 million dollars to uncle Sam on just the Bills franchise. That figure does not even include Ralph's other assets which I'm sure are pretty substantial. Now I'm sure Ralph took a lot of this hit into account with his attorney and planed accordingly. Loop holes can be found to protect assets from the government, I'm also pretty confident he has a substantial amount of insurance to help off set the estate tax. Regardless of the how well Ralph did his estate planing the sheer magnitude of the estate tax he will face leads me to believe his daughter will be forced to sell the team. What we have going for us is a profitable franchise and a good fan base, and if his daughter can find a buyer who agrees to keep the team in Buffalo we will be fine. I'm sure his daughter will try and honor Ralph's legacy by searching for a buyer who would make this arrangement. The problem arises if she can't find a buyer that agrees to keep the team in Buffalo. Remember she will be forced to sell the team to pay the estate tax, if she can only find a buyer that wishes to relocate she will be forced to make that deal. It's really not a matter of her intentions, it's a matter of the buyers intentions. The future basically comes down to one simple factor, the person that buys the team when Ralph passes away must want to keep the team in Buffalo. As a side note I am not an attorney and don't know the specifics of Ralph's estate planing, however I did stay at a Holiday Inn last night.
