Oh please, EVERY backup in the NFL is in the same boat when they get put into a game. Gimme a berak. If JPL hadn't been put in, people would've been bitching at MM for keeping Drew in. In fact, I read several posts during the game stating just that. Damned if you do, damned if you don't.

You forget about #6...HE'S your #2 QB. I know it gets complicated for you, Fez, when there's more than two choices. But if JP was not prepared to go in, then Matthews should have mopped up in NE. Sorry to be so hard on you...I know you must be bummed that your boy Drew is not livin up to your hype. But Bledsoe needs friends now. I guess you, Campy and NJSue are all he has.

You can't beat Dell when they run their $399 specials with monitor and free shipping, and sometimes free upgrades in memory or CD/RW.
I do recommend avoiding Dell Credit. You'll be paying off that computer for 10 years and pay $30,000! Use a credit card.

After reading the Fassell post below, it reminded me exactly who is to blame for this mess we are in. TOM DONAHOE! He is bent on riding Bledsoe to the bitter end, oblivious to what is obvious to everyone on the planet: that the "genius" got swindled!
As far as drafting JP, that is not an admission of a mistake. TD never intended JP to play for the next couple of years. Despite what Ben Rothlisburger is doing in Pittsburgh, it's accepted practice for rookie QB's to backup a year or two. So TD had every intention of playing Drew the entire year.
If it's true that Fassell's "bad interview" was his refusal to play Drew no matter what, then I'm afraid we have a wussie head coach who is just a TD puppet. That post about the Matthews/JP confusion in New England makes me very worried. The way JP played certainly makes me think that could have happened.
By the way...if MM says JP is not 100%, why the F*** did he put him in the game???

Anyone see this game tonight? Niagara had a 6 point lead against Providence on the road with 1 minute left. The were outscored 13-2 thanks to 4 turnovers and lose 83-78. So sad. A chance to upset a Big East team in their building on ESPN2. Instead they choke on it.

The fact that he falls apart in big games is proof that Drew Bledsoe is NOT a good QB. I was at the game, sitting at the 50yd line in the upper deck, so I saw this abortion first hand. Bledsoe was not rushed when he threw those 3 picks. Furthermore, he did not overthow his target, he threw RIGHT TO BRUSCHI AND TROY BROWN. He also threw right to Roosevelt Colvin, but he dropped it.
Make excuses, quote stats, do whatever you want. It doesn't change the fact that Drew Bledsoe is a BAD QB! Statistically speaking, he is the WORST in Buffalo Bills history! Worse than Joe Dufek. Worse than Vince Ferrigamo. Worse than Rob Johnson. Bledsoe wins the SUCK Olympics.

I plan to wear a bag on my head to protest Bledsoe's continued starts. You're right, if he plays well the fans will cheer, but expect loud boos at the start. But watch out if he stinks up the joint again.

I am not a Drew apologist but it would be interesting to go back to when Bledsoe was first acquired - the fans were reenergized. He did provide us some exciting football – sadly his best days are well past him but to call this the worst trade in the history of football is fuggn asinine, paricularly when our history of first round selections have left a lot to be desired.
I have to agree that the fans were energized by DB's arrival (remember the rally?) and he did look like the real deal for about 8 games. That might be enough to rank it slightly less worse than the RJ trade. But bad nonetheless.

The Darrell Lamonica trade has been eclipsed at last by the fleecing of "genius GM" Tom Donahoe by the New England Patriots. Not only did we give up a #1 pick, we guarenteed a division rival 2 W's a year. We gave up a #1 pick for a QB that turns into a quivering bowl of jelly every time he faces his old team.
Glad that finally everyone (except for Tom Donahoe, Mike Mullarkey, Fezmid, Campy, and NJSue) realize this was a horrible mistake.

Drew Bledsoe has been the worst QB for the last 2 years in the NFL...and you think Bill Parcells is giving you a #1 for him? Even with Travis Henry? Dream on! Every NFL GM knows the Bills are screwed. Even if they wanted Drew (which is highly improbable), they could wait for the Bills to release him, and not have to give up anything for him.

But, but it's not Dreeeeew's fault...It's his o-line, and his defense, and his receivers, and his mom. If all that was perfect, THEN you'd see how great Drew is...but only if every one else carries him.

Unlike a certain NFL team on the western end of New York State, the New York Giants didn't wait 27 games to see if "Kurt still has it." 24 sacks and 8 INTs in 3 games? Notice no one in NYC is blaming the O-line.

Meanwhile in New York, Kurt Warner is being replaced by Eli Manning for playing like Bledsoe for 3 games.
Must be great to know you'll never be cut, benched, or sat down no matter how much you suck.

With the demise of the Simoncast, those of us who live away from Buffalo are completely cut off from talk about the Bills, or Buffalo sports in general. The problem is that radio companies like Entercom simply refuse to make their shows available online.
I have tried to float the idea of keeping the Simoncats going online to Howard Simon. He is either unable or onwilling to do so. So what do we do? Wait for something to develop, or take matters in our own hands?
Setting up an online stream is not difficult or expensive. A phone interface is also an affordable item. Getting an 800 number is real easy, and affordable. Considering the number of passionate and knowledgable fans on the Stadium Wall, could we somehow organize our own online talk show?
I know it's a crazy idea. But what do you all think?

It shouldn't be TOO bad. We will not have to fret about paying a top 10 pick.
It will probably cost us 6 million or so to cut or trade Mike Williams. Wonerful. Drew will cost a bundle to cut too, unless it is done after 6/1 to spread out the cap hell, ala Butler.
Schobel got a fat raise. Moulds is due to earn 8.25 million as I recall.
Yes, TD has made some good moves, but from where I sit, the future is bleak. What I forsee is a skinny qb running for his very life, no good offensive tackles, no true center, no first roud pick, and a shaky GM.
I forgot, were we worse off with Butler?
Yes we are okay...but you forget we have no 1st round pick. Our pick willprobably be around #35-40.

Drew was sacked once yesterday. He threw 3 INTs with no rush on him. Stop blaming the o-line, the coaches, the fans, his mom, and making excuses for Bledsoe. He sucks and he's dragging the rest of the Bills down the drain.

If JP's leg is not healed 100% then start Shane Matthews. If JP is ready, then the Rams game is as good as place to start. Either way, Drew Bledsoe should ride the bench the rest of the way.

Entercomm sucks!! There are no rights issues with stations not playing music!! A tiny Buffalo sports radio station streaming surely will be competing heavily against big sports radio markets in Boston, NY, LA etc.... Entercomm sucks. Thanks again John Rigas for smuggling money out of your company so Adelphia and Empire went belly up!!!!
It's not just music rights over the internet. You also have to pay big fees for streaming commercials by union voices!
It's not just Entercom. Almost every major broadcasting company forbids their stations from streaming.

Guys like Campy like to blame everyone else on the Bills first, like it's their job to carry Drew Bledsoe. I remember another Bills QB who wore #12 that carried the team on his back. How far we have fallen in our expectations!

Sorry dude. I completely and respectfully disagree. Bledsoe needs to start the next 2 games at least. I'd prefer if he saw out the season.
Matthews is an emergeny option that I'd rather not see on the field at all. Its got to be Drew all the way with little flashed of JP to help his development. Come January - Matthews goes to be replaced by a proper long term backup and Drew can see out his contract until 2006 to do the same job on JP as he did on Brady.
Nick, what do you base this opinion on? The fact that everyone thinks Shane Matthews could somehow be worse than Drew Bledsoe? The only way that could be is if the Bills could score in the negative numbers!
Drew Bledsoe is PUTRID! He does not desere to start another game. Let me ask you this: Everyone knows how MM handled benching Travis Henry. What does it say to the team when Drew Bledsoe is killing this team, yet gets to start?

JP, Shane Matthews...you could take Jim Kelly and throw him in there cold...and any of them would play better than Drew Frrigginnn' Bledsoe. People keep saying Drew is our only option. As opposed to what??? We scored Z-E-R-O points!! Do the Bills score negative number without Drew?

Travis has some bad games and gets a seat on the bench. Drew Bledsoe plays like crap for 2 and half seasons straight and gets to start every week.

And this is based on what observation? Have you been actually seeing any Bills games? How can any QB play worse than Drew Bledsoe right now? By the way, Kurt Warner was stocking shelves in a supermarket before he took the Rams to the Super Bowl, so your "thumb-twiddling" theory is not perfect.
