I imagine he will speak after the team has won a game. Right now, I don't think he wants to appear in public with his red face after Ralph gave him a good ass chewing.

relax...relax...I see this all the time cuz, ashamedely, I live here. This was a charity event that they do many times. It's basically like a dance marathon, only this is a see-saw marathon.

Bledsoe is not a winner anymore. I don't know how many times that has to be hammered into the heads of Bills Nation? It's over for him.
How dare you? This is a "CRUSADE". You cannot post such disparaging comments regarding "Bledsoe". I'll have you know that right now you are making a certain "Nervous Guy", well, "nervous".
-
Well, tomorrow the Jets will be 4-0 and still haven't beaten anyone!
-
Now, Now. Let's not continue to make disparaging comments about the Bills performance (or lack thereof).
many posters below, if you care to read, drew inner strength and tranquility from the Bills performance Sunday. They accentuate the positives. Just look at the positives from Sunday's game... they actually made a few first downs too.

So far I've watched the first and second quarters over.
Allow me to suggest that you pass on watching the last 2 quarters... er, uh... at least the last quarter. I don't want to spoil it for you, but it doesn't have a happy ending.
Unfortunately, for us Bills fans, the game lasts 4 quarters and not 2.
Wouldn't that be interesting if the Bills could play a full 60 minutes?

Please allow me to suggest the GM's suite. The view is excellent... actually enhanced. Rose colored glasses are handed ot as you enter the suite. And if you promise Teflon Tom some help with divine intervention, I'll bet that he'll hand you a locker room pass or two.

I can just visulize twhat it might have been like to be in that meeting.
I'd like to know what you folks think, but I gotta believe it went something like this...
Bledsoe: Josh, you gotta get open more.
Josh: I am... you just don't throw it to me.
Bledsoe: Eric, no more dropsies.
Eric: Bite me Drew, I'll stop dropping footballs when you stop taking stupid sacks and making bonehead mistakes in the redzone.
Bledsoe: And you, Travis, you gotta start keeping those damn blizting LBs off me.
Travis: Yeah, right... the best thing you can do to keep LBs off you is hand me the ball... I'll make the plays. Screw passing!
Bledsoe: You too Damien, you got to block for me better and get open.
Damien: Duh, what the hell was that I did against Jax? There was no one within 15 yards of me and everyone in the house saw me open except for you. WTF?
Bledsoe: Ok guys, we gotta stop bickering here, we're not gonn awin games that way. JP, go get me another Pepsi.
JP: Sure Drew. He's right guys, we gotta stop this bickering and making silly mistakes. (wink-wink), cuz if you don't, everyone is going to start to point fingers at Drew, and we don't want that fellas, do we? Coach will end up having to yank him in favor of me... and we know the success rate of rookie QBs with great mobility, rocket arms, quick releases, and excellent ball handling skills are in short supply. So, if I have to come in in play, the pressure is really going to be on you to see that I don't get hurt again.
-
John, Glad that you have had an epiphany and agree to what you didn't agree with last week regardsing Losman. That's OK... you are allowed to flip - flop because you're not running for president. I welcome you to the dump Drew club.

A punishing defense with a mediocre offense
Let me see if I've got this right... Punishing defense? would this be the same punishing defense that gave up an 80 yard winning TD drive to the Jags including 4 4th downs? and the same punishing defense that gave up 24 points at home to the Pats? How many times was Brady sacked?
Mediocre offense? averaging 10 points per game? That's mediocre? that's putrid! The Bills need to avg. about 6 more points /game before I'd call their offense mediocre.
-
Why was he handed the starting job???
He was out of work and needed the job and Teflon Tom needed a FB that wouldn't ask to be paid more than the NFL minimum.
-
I see no reason, based on their 0-3 start, that the Bills will beat the Jets in the Meadowlands Sunday.... and I'm not even sure the Bills will beat the Dolphins the following week...I guess that game will hinge on which team's QB gives the other team the "W"... since our "D" can't muster a pass rush and the Fins D can, advantage Miami.
So if we chalk up a "W" against Arizona and another "L" aginst the Jets at home, that puts the Bills at 1-6, possibly 2-5 going into New England on Nov. 14... and I guarantee another "L" there. So at that point I've got the Bills at 1-7 or 2-6.
With home games remaining against the Rams, Browns and Steelers, how do the Bills put people in the stands that late in the season with virtually minimal or no playoff implications? Certainly Browns and Steelers fans will to travel to the Ralph.
So, Teflon Tom will pull off another marketing coup. He will go talk to Mularkey after the New England loss and lift the "no bench" ban on Bledsoe and give Mularkey the greenlight to play JP Lossman. I guarantee, that will be the marketing tool the Bills need to get the fans intersted again and fill the seat....
However, this maneuver is going to backfire on Teflon Tom. JP will actually move the offense and score points and win games.... something Teflon Tom wants to keep to a minimum. And no longer will the fans be whining about the offensive line, receivers, or rbs. Instead, it will reveal what a huge mistake Teflon Tom made in aquiring Bledsoe... and how every offensive breakdown and inability to move the football directly points back to Bledsoe. How he wasted a few more million $$$ of Ralph's money on re-signing Bledsoe, and what might have been if the coaching staff were allowed to play Matthews from the beginning of the season til after the next New England game when JP is fully prepared to takeover the reigns.

Here we have a GM who's had 4 drafts and yielded 7 starters on both sides of the ball... 8 if you count Bledsoe. In these 4 drafts, he's drafted 15 players in the first 3 rounds, five of which have distinguished themselves... if you count Mike Williams, and I don't know of any Bills fan that thinks he's lived up to being a #4 overall draft selection.
His major FA aquisitions have been Fletcher, Spikes, Milloy, and Vincent... 2 of the 3 are good pickups. We don't know yet about Vincent. Milloy... What has he done for us... no picks.. quite a few missed tackles... and at around $4M.YR., a waste of money.
On offense he aquired Teague, Vallerial, Lindell, and Shaw. Anyone happy with that group?
The best player I think Teflon Tom acqurired was Brian Moorman... and that's said when the best compliment you can give the guy is his pick up of a punter.
His best move in terms of marketing was Bledsoe... all of the fans were jacked... but, from a "football" perspective, the Bledsoe pickup was a disaster. And re-signing Bledsoe was just throwing away good money after bad money. I know many of you will say Bledsoe played well yesterday... if you look at the numbers, but I see a guy that takes a full second longer to set up, a guy that does not have exceptional ball handling skills, fakes, ability to "sell" a play. I see a guy that has his feet so far apart in the pocket that he can't "tap dance" just enough to buy an extra half. second to avoid a rush and get a pass off. I see a guy that, even when reeivers are open and he has time to thow, overthrows or under throws. I see a guy who has a very low rate of TD success in the redzone. I see a guy who makes huge errors in judgement in the redzone, as in fumbling, taking a sack, and throwing picks.
Teflon Tom's biggest gaffe was the hiring of Gregg Williams... and then to follow that up with another rookie HC in Mularkey was plain stupid.
All I know is that Teflon Tom has done a horrendous job of assembling a football team. However, from a purely economic perspective, Teflon Tom has pulled of a Houdini. How he can continue to fill a stadium week after week when this team is bascially the equivalent of the 84-85 vesion of the Bills. He must have taken a page out of PT Barnum... or even Vince McMahon's memoirs. This team sucks and is not even entertaining to watch...and it sure does not have what it takes to win football games.
Well, Teflon Tom's contract is up after next season... if all Ralph cares about is the economic end of things, he'll extend his contract. But, if Ralph is about winning, then he must kick the Teflon man to the curb.
Can anyone, in all honesty, say that the biggest problem with this team is squarely on Teflon Tom's shoulders?
-
Any recommendations?
yeah... Staples, Office Depot, Best Buy, Walmart. Get the least expensive one you can... they'll all do what you want them to do. If you're really anal and have to have the best of the best, go to ZDNET and see what they say.

The Bills slip to 0-3 and the rest of this season is for entertainment purposes only.
First of all, good synopsis on Sunday's game.
Now, let's fast forward to Monday. My questions...
What if the Bills go 0-3. What do they need to do to rebound from 0-3? Do they have a legitimate shot at the playoffs?
-
If Drew gets yanked for Matthews, it means that Drew is playing poorly and that the Bills are on their way to a loss.
Drew, playing poorly? You think?
Drew's dragging the team down. You and many others have to get over this Drew Bledsoe "myth"... the guy had 4 out of 11 decent years and only once got an 87 QB rating... hell Favre's carrer QB rating is equal to Bledsoe's best season.
-
So, you are hoping the Bills lose this Sunday??? If you are, then
Now come on Mike... I didn't say that. I said Ihope it is Bledsoe's last meanigful game. That could be that he get's yanked in favor of Matthews. Not hoping for a Bills loss, but I'm definitely not expecting a Bills win.
It's OK to be an optimist. But, I'm a realist, and Belichick knows how to get into a QBs head... especially Bledsoe's, and he's going to do it again on Sunday.
The only chance the Bills have is if they play smash mouth against the Pats and run Travis 30+ times and then turn Mcgahee loose on a tired Pats defense.
-
and here is a little more info. They haven't released the name though.

here's a link

I thought I heard something on the news this morning... they didn't release the name, but I think the police chased him through three counties before the accident... at least that's what I thought I heard
-
Is this Bledsoe's last meaningful game, as the Bills starting QB?
I hope so. wishful thinking.
-
He now has emotion and has something to prove. Maybe the rest of the team needs the same medicine!
If they need this kind of motivation to get them to play then they shouldn't even be in the league.
-
But what are you actually advocating? Take JP off the injured list right now because Drew is so bad even though he and every one else knows he is not healed yet (even being ahead of schedule), much less ready to play even if he was ready to be made active.
No, no! I've already gone on record twice stating that my belief is that Losman will start against the Rams on 11/21. I don't think he should start before he's physically ready to and before having at least 3 weeks of practice. I also think that if he's ready to play by 10/17, they should get him a few snaps in each game.
-
Since the Bills acquired Bledsoe and needed to protect him, Teflon Tom should have traded down from #4 and taken Roy William, John Henderson or Dwight Freeney and then taken Mike Pearson in the 2nd round to play LT. Pearson played in a pass happy offense at Flordia and has shown he is much better at pass protection than MW.
Hindsight is 20-20, but, damnit... I can't argue with this at all. THis is a defining year for big Mike. If he doesn't cut it this year, he ain't gonna ever.

you're gonna wake up on Monday morning extremely pessimistic.

?????? Oh, I almost overlooked the fact that the Bills are 0-4. Yep, no reason that anyone should piss and moan.
