Georgia Bill

Lame Assinine Moronic Post. LAMP

You're eyes do not deceive you. I decided to use this avatar until the Bills squish the fish (a bit of a protest against their play of late). IT BETTER HAPPEN SUNDAY! I can't stand this much longer.

I've been here 14 years. Yes the traffic can be brutal at rush hour, but I'm lucky enough to have a short 10 mile drive to work up in the northern burbs. I lived 5 years each in Orlando, Dallas, and Phoenix and have to say the traffic here is no worse than those. I like it here best due to lots of trees, rolling hills, change of seasons (even occaisional snow), good economy, decent (but not great) schools. You have to get used to Southern rednecks, but they mostly keep to themselves. I'll be a Bills fan for life though, no allegiance to Falcons!

Just trying out my new ugly avatar. I think I'll keep it til the Bill's Squish the Fish. It BETTER BE SUNDAY!!!

I wasn't meaning to offend or come off as superior, just making an observation that most of what I see posted tends into one of these categories (concerning sticking w Losman or not). It was kind of stupid to add my last line, (kind of like saying "which of my pigeon holes do you fit into?").

Well let's put it this way, compared to most on this board, you ARE a hyper-optimist. You still believe in a playoff run, sticking to your original assumption that we can groom JP and do that. There just are not that many on this board in that camp.

I think it boils down to this. There are basically 3 camps here: 1) Those who still believe that we have a decent shot at the playoffs. Mostly because the rest of the division is also looking rough, and expecting Miami's bubble to burst. This group wants Holcomb to start because they think he might be enough of a QB for this scenario, and they're worried any more JP starts = losses = end of the dream. This group also hanging on to the hope that we actually do have a great defense that is going to start showing itself again soon. 2) Those who look at this team and realize playoff chances are extremely slim. Thus the rationale is that you stick with JP and let him get experience, in the hopes that he develops as quickly as possible into something special. This group is willing to take any improvement as a positive - not for this year's playoffs, but for next year (and years after). 3) Those who think JP will turn things around fast enough that we can still make a run at the playoffs this year. This is clearly the smallest group, made up of hyper-optimists. Is there anyone that doesn't see themselves at least for the most part in one of these camps?

You judge for yourself. Here is the exact quote from the USA Today article: "The Bills won eight of their final 10 games last season, making many forget — until now — that they started last season 0-4. The Bills have lost three in a row and the job of starting quarterback J.P. Losman (pronounced LOSS-man) is in jeopardy." maybe the emphasis on LOSS was not an intentional stab, eh?

Me too! A win against Miami is a fine salve on an open wound. I just hope these guys get up for this game. I'm not so sure they really have a hot rivalry w Miami anymore (sad). When I was young I suffered through the 21 straight losses to Miami. In my mind, until that score is evened, we cannot beat them enough. GO BILLS - Kick some Tuna!

It was pretty low for the USA Today, in front sports page article on struggling AFC East, to write "...J.P. Losman (pronounced "Loss-man")...". Give the guy a break! It's bad enough all the second guessing for a new QB, now they stoop to making cracks on his name Give em hell J.P. and make em all eat crow! That is just pure BS.

Soon we'll know. After dropping 3, with both anemic defense and offense (passing anyway), it's time for this team to either dig deep and gut out some tough wins (which would give us fans some hope), OR the finger pointing, infighting, blame game starts and the season spirals away. I hope out of adveristy a true team emerges. I must admit like many others, I'm worried it will go the other way. I think we need to stick w Losman. If we postpone finding out what he is made of, (playing Kelly so Losman can take a breather/"develop" on the sidelines by watching, etc.) we will end up at the end of the season wondering if maybe he'll develop/ be ready next year. BS! I don't want to go into next year wondering if he might possibly be something. Play him ALL year. If he is not getting better later in the year, he is not the answer, but at least we will KNOW it. Playoff chances are so slim, it's not worth talking about. This is a DEVELOPMENT year. I'm hoping something hopeful is developing by mid season. Not just JP -that also includes O-line pass blocking, and a defense that regains it's pride. Go Bills

Near the corner of Stoney Pt Rd and Staley Rd. My dad and stepmother owned Job's barber and beauty shop (it went belly up not long after their marriage).

Grand Island/Tonawanda/46/Atlanta GA I remember learning about what the Buffalo Bills were when Ron McDole moved in 3 doors down from us on Grand Island. I was 5 or 6 yrs old. He was BIG.

Hats off to the Steelers. No use making excuses - if their 2nd and 3rd stringers make us look that bad I am just glad the Steelers weren't playing for home field with their starters. That would have been seriously ugly. I think the Steelers win it all.

I agree. It was hard not to buy into the (unlikely) belief that this team had truly started to become GREAT. They were kicking people's butts, scoring more than 33 points a game, defense playing great w tons o turnovers. So we hoped against hope that gosh, we had turned into a great team. Then THUD!!!! We hit the cold hard floor of reality today. That hurt. So we'll moan for awhile. Lick our wounds. Then come back next year and start hoping against hope (again) that we can become great. Because we're Bills fans. We won't give up hoping, and one sweet day we'll watch our team hold a SB trophy high and we'll cry tears of joy together! Til that day, yeah, we'll moan now and then. All I can say is, this year was better than last, and I appreciate the improvement.

Does his wife know about this???

OK, I'll modify my post to be we need a GOOD QB. But I'll still differ with you on your comment that THIS team (w Drew) being good enough to win (by win, I mean a SB). No O-Line in the world can make him shake enough of his bad habits. He will wilt under SERIOUS pressure every time, and there is no evidence to prove otherwise.

Should he stay or should he go now? Should he stay or shoud he go now? If he goes it will be trouble If he stays it will be double. So come on and let us know, Should he stay or should he go? I guess if it's trouble or double, you gotta go with trouble. He goes...

Why mourn for an early season play that could have "cost us" the playoffs? I hate to say it but after watching the New England game and then today's, it's obvious that even if we had sneaked into the playoffs, we were going NOWHERE. It was fun having the December games mean something for a change, but we really are not yet a team that can go deep into the playoffs. Lots of work needed. We are near the top of the middle tier teams (which is better than last year) But the upper tier teams expose our weaknesses. I hope for improvements, but we really do need a great quarterback for starters. Middle of the road to mediocre will not cut it! Please don't feed me the "if only the O-line was better" BS. Drew folds against elite teams. We just can't keep hoping we will improve enough to win a SB with him. The transition to a new QB will hurt (unless we get really lucky), but we need to do it to have a prayer of getting to the next level. Cheers to a fun year. Hoping against hope for a SERIOUS run sometime soon!

I'm out a bit further (Dacula - just east of Lawrencevile). I go to a sports bar named Diggers on 120, just off 316. While not a "Bills bar", they at least always show the Bills in the same area on about a 6ft. screen. Normally there's only 2 -3 Bills fans that show up, but I go almost every game (for sure all the division games). This place used to be a big Dolphins hang out, but for some reason, they're not there this year. The only big Bills bar I heard of is too far away (Marietta area).

Having been a true blue Bills fan around 1972, I say "get over it!". This team will find a way to build you up and then tear your heart out when you least expect it, but if you are loyal, you never give up hope! What did all you guys expect by the way? With all the coaching changes I fully expected the first half of the season would be a losing record, and hoped that the second half would be when things would start to jell and we'd turn things around. Outside of the last couple minutes of this game we have been in these games and playing tough to the end. Sure the mistakes are killing us, but so far, I am impressed that there is as much heart being shown, despite the losses. Soon enough, the O-line will start to jell, the wins will start, and hope will be restored. And next year, with Losman, we will be a team to be reckoned with. The key for this year is just to start winning more than losing in the second half of the season. I know you'll all blast me for talking about next year already, but seriously playoffs this year? We were completing unravelling at the end of last year!
