I agree that JP should be starting, and he might end up doing just that. But a ton of factors are influencing this decision so I wouldn't be surprised to see the Bills stick with Kelly. The fan and media pressure on TD and MM will be tremendous if the season implodes. Also with New England playing the Colts, it is very possible the Bills will only be a game back after the bye. I'm just trying to look at this thinking about what the Bills will probably do, as opposed to what they should do. In reality with the schedule ahead we have no chance at the playoffs, but again don't underestimate just how much TD and MM are thinking about their collective heads in this decision. A 5-11 type year would be a major blow to their status with the fan base and media, and the simple truth is Kelly gives us a better chance at winning. JP wasn't just bad for a QB, he was bad for a rookie QB. His stats don't measure up to the best post 2000 QB's, or even the worst ones. If you want so see exactly how he's faired check out this post I made awhile back, it compares the first four starts of 20 or so recent QB's. Old Post Despite the fact that JP's first four starts are among the worst of all recent rookie QB's their is one player that JP has beaten out, Eli Manning. We absolutely must find out if JP is our Eli Manning this season, otherwise we go into next year basically in the same shape as this year, and this years QB play won't be good enough to reach the playoffs. In the end if MM and TD are confident enough in their job security, or New England Wins, JP starts, if not don't be suprised to see Kelly remain in for a few more.

Let’s try and keep this realistic as I’m curious to how people feel. Here are my midseason grades with the following scale. A: Huge impact, among the best performances in the league B: Consistently making a positive impact in the outcome of games C: NFL average, not going to help you much, but won’t kill you either D: Consistently making a negative impact in the outcome of games F: Huge liability, among the worst performances in the league. I will also include the +/- format as I feel some positions fall in between these definitions. Finally I factored in all the players into these positions, for example QB is not just Holcomb, but both Holcomb and JP’s performances combined. QB: D+ RB: A FB: C+ WR: C TE: F LT: B- LG: D C: C+ RG: B- RT: D LE: C LDT: B- RDT: F RDE: B- SLB: C MLB: B WLB: C+ LCB: B RCB: A SS: B- FS: C+ PR: C+ KR: A P: B- K: A- HC: C OC: C- DC: D

I bet Mularkey says something about the officiating, and takes the fine. The deep pass hit the ground; it was on replay so the refs even had a chance to overturn the original wrong call. Maybe my definition of indisputable is different the refs, but that looked indisputable to me. Then the horrible offensive interference call that set this offense against enormous odds. Instead of a 1st down, we get 3 and 16, and as we know 3 and 16 is nearly impossible for our offense. That contact happen all game long, and you might see it called once every two games, instead we get it called to stop our game winning drive. BS!! Everybody's pissed and so am I, but the Bills played a great game. I just think those calls cost us the game more then any player from Buffalo did. Sure Kelly blew it on the 4th down, but it should have never come down to that to begin with.

I don't know how I feel, on one hand I'm shocked at how we played, on the other I'm pissed off at being cheated by the Refs, and Kelly’s stupid throw. It hurts bad, but even in defeat this was easily the most entertaining Bills game in a long time. Still this one stung the core, so dejected would be the best word to describe how I feel.

Cue the Patriot love fest, it was on hold until the NFL robed us. Some will say the Bills blew it, but we got completely jobed on two critical calls. Welcome to Just Give it to um 2 FU Patriots

Holcomb got crushed and many QB's would drop that ball in that situation, but his pocket presence is still scary. Kelly gets the ball out quick but when he's pressured he looks a former Bills QB

When they gave that call to New England I died, they score here now we need to stop the best 3 point combination the NFL has ever had.

This is the first time under TD I am shocked in a good way. Hold on guys!!!

Alright no TD when the Patriots get the ball back and we might have a chance!!

ahh crap, it's coming, damn I knew it.........

For once the blitz got pressure

I think the challenge might be to slow momentum, not get it overturned. This is a huge drive for our chances the rest of the way with the Patriots getting the ball at halftime.

Teddy Bruschi is no Takeo Spikes, Bruschi might be a leader but Takeo is twice the athlete Teddy is.

The play count has to have Buffalo over 40 and New England under 7, to bad we don't have any more points to show for it.

Anybody else love the beer run commercial?

Peters in at RT, when did Mike get injured again? By the way Peters has looked decent so far, way better then Jerman.

I love holding deep in our end

I would tend to agree, you don't see shanks that bad with NFL kickers. Maybe somebody with TIVO can confirm this.

Should have gave it to Shelton on a end around

Should be 10 nothing, this will come back to haunt us for sure. We needed to come into this game and take advantage of every oppurtunity, we dominated the game so far running 33 plays to New Englands 7. I'm happy that it's 3-0 but thats not going to cut it tonight.

Well Pass just blew hammy, so he won't be this weeks AFC player of the week, who's behind Pass?

Bastard

Anybody else have a feeling Patrick Pass will be this weeks AFC player of the week?

The F'in goal posts could have been across the entire field and he would have missed

Damn it Lindell, we can't make any mistakes if were going to have a chance!!!
