JP looked tentative on the leg. I hope for the best. All I can say right now is...he ain't no Roethlisberger.
He did learn some great lessons is a no lose situation though.
1) Don't try to make a living scrambling in the NFL. You WILL get stripped of the ball. Use your legs to buy time and the occasional sideline scamper but mainly learn how to throw NFL passes and buy your self time in the pocket.
2) Really keep your eyes open or you will be embarrassed and throw directly to the wrong guy. Don't lock in on one guy like Bledsoe does.

Yeah baby, nice win UB. Probably not enough to save Jim Hofher's job though. Definitely not.

Wow, i think a bullet would bounce off that thing. That butt should be declared illegal in many states!

Moorman should get all the AFC's votes considering the weather he has to punt in. Already Miami and Arizona have been awful conditions. No way should a dome or warm weather punter get picked if Mooman has similar stats.

Don't think he'll ever be as fast as he was in college (pre-injury). That being said, he looks bigger, thicker....in the NFL and he is pretty fast for a big guy. I look forward to seeing him run a long one with no one in front of him and see if he gets caught from behind. That's the only knock on Henry, he always got caught from behind.

Saw this quote from Josh McCown. Great quote.
"I know one thing, I have a newfound respect for Jim Kelly and what he did here," McCown said. "To put up the numbers he did in this type of environment is unbelievable. It was the toughest conditions I've ever played in."

Look, anyone who gets excited over Drew's performance today is not a knowledgable football person. He made some routine plays that most any NFL QB would make. He got a break on a dropped INT but most importantly for Drew....he DID NOT LOSE us the game today like he has in the past. I won't get excited about Drew until he strings together a couple road wins. Winning at home againt sub .500 teams does not make him back to being the old Drew in my book. He still does absolutely nothing extraordinary to help us win. I just hope he continues to not help us lose.

Yep, come winter time, you have the usual array of cookie cutter cold weather places like Foxboro, Green Bay, Chicago, Cleveland etc... But where else can you count on at least one or two "pre-winter" horrible weather games?!? ORCHARD PARK, NY...that's where! The wind, rain and low clouds that whip off Lake Erie can be really intimidating to our opponents. I'm glad we wiped out Miami and Ariz in OUR conditions in OUR house. Can't wait for the Jets next week!

Pats, Ravens, Bucs win Superbowls. Lightning wins the Cup. Red Sox, Diamonbacks, Marlins win World Series'. The gloves are off. G_d has nothing to do with it. Anyone can win any sport at any time (except UB will never win the NCAA football championship:)
I will say that the Sabres probably have a better shot at winning the Cup than the Bills the Superbowl over the next decade. Bills will be chasing the dream for a Looooooooong time.

lol ok,
I have lost count how many times i have seen someone come into the backfield after drew because of poor blocking, misassignments, etc..
The one game we won was against the Dolphins and the oline actually blocked well and Willis happend to through in some good chip blocks. Look at the games we lost. Count the total number of rushing yards we had and the sacks. You will see why we lost.
I'm not laughing. I said we are on par with a Dozen other teams. Obviously the line is not in the top half of the league. You mix our line, however, with a QB like Drew and you have a disaster. If you can't see that the QB is 70% of the sack problem here than you need to watch more NFL football. Big Ben just completed 21 for 25 at Dallas a couple weeks ago and at least half his throws were on the run due to protection breakdowns.

Just take a cheap Southwest flight to Phoenix and watch it on the tube out there!

Once again, I wish you guys would quit with the O-line reasoning. Let's face facts. In this league, O-lines are are all close in skills, with a few notable exceptions like Orlando Pace and a couple others who are just plain dominating. As an example, just look the ravens game to see what Schobel did with a so-called dominating O-tackle.
And, as far as McNally goes, he's obviously a great O-line coach as the past speaks for itself. So, why can't the Bills O-line do squat?
It's the QB, folks. 3/4ths of an O-line's performance is predicated on knowing what your QB will be doing and where your QB will be doing it. It is both for position and for confidence. Right now, the only thing anybody knows about Drew is that he'll be holding the ball, while lying on his back. In essence, the line has no contingency plan for Bledsoe to move to safety as the pocket evolves and they certainly have no confidence in knowing that he'll find that safe place. That's because he can't and won't.
Its funny, because a couple weeks ago when we all gasped as we saw Drew actually sidestep a rusher and step into the pocket a couple times, the line seemed to miraculously be giving him solid protection. Duh, the line wasn't playing any better than they generally play. But, for a change, they had a little confidence that they could create a little safe pocket and have Drew get into the safe spot and step into his throws and complete a few passes with some accuracy. Its just a case of the O-line and the QB getting on the same page, so-to-speak.
For whatever reason, Drew is incapable of improvising on the fly with his O-line. Until we get somebody that can play with his head in the game that way, our line will look bad. When we do, the line will be fine with the guys we have. Great, no. But fine, yes.
Good post. I agree. Our O-line isn't any worse than a dozen other teams. I'm not saying they can't get better but Drew just makes the Line appear so much worse than they are because he is always in the exact same spot....5 to 7 steps back in the pocket and can't buy himself time to save his life. Did ya hear how excited his linemen were after the Miami game? it was like "Whoa, where did that movement come from!?!". Anyway, you can tell from those types of remarks exactly how the Line feels about Drew Dreadslow.

Chargers, Saints, Vikes are all candidates to move to LA. If the Bills ever got moved somewhere it would be luncacy. If you think Cleveland held a grudge against Modell.....Bills fans would absolutely destroy the person(s) who moved our team.

Christ....I'm so sick of Moulds. When we run and get stuffed in the red zone time & time again he's yelling to throw the ball more. Then when we throw in the red zone and our idiot QB throws into double coverage or behind players Moulds yells to run more. He sounds like a fan more than a knowledgable player.

I turned on Empire and saw Reed's speech last night. He had Jimbo standing directly behind him on the podium. Pretty cool. He talked about how he and Jim argued like crazy during games but it made them so much better....they were fiery competitors and teammates and had each other backs. The other players he mentioned were Thurman, Bruce and Tasker and said they were possibly the best players ever at their positions. ANd Marv of course because he treated them like adults and respected them.
He said that 4 Superbowls in Buffalo would NEVER happen again and this current version of the Bills has a Loooooong way to go (before they do anything)! You could tell by his body language that Reed is not too fond of this current Bills team.
All in all it was good to see Reed humbled by the experience but he still has that cocky side to him that made him a great one.

I like that quote in the News the other day. If the Bills ever leave town..Buffalo=Toledo.
-
This whole ordeal ...it seems like TD is orchestrating it so Henry remains marketable to other teams. I wish he'd just let MM be the coach and play who he wants. Something fishy going on behind the scenes. Its seems crazy that they didn't trade Henry before the trading deadline.

I was OK with the Red Sox for a couple weeks but now that they're seriously on the cusp of winning the WS, I can't root for them. Now I hope the Cards tie up at 3. Then in the 9th inning of the seventh game the Cards rally from 9 runs down to win 10-9. Wouldn't that be something to cement the curse!

Please. The talent on the Bills is so unbelievably overrated and over-hyped that I can't take it anymore. Right now McGahee is not even Reuben Droughns and Travis is a poor man's Aaron Stecker. Seriously. There's a hundred other backs in the league better than those two guys...right now, today. I'm not saying Willis won't be awesome someday and Travis won't get back to his usual self. Our QB stinks. Our O-line is subpar. We have one WR (Moulds) and a bunch of unknowns. Our D-line is average. Our LB's have big names but they are not game changers and give up critical 3rd-down conversions. Our CB's are average and safties were the worst in the league before Milloy came back. FG kicker is subpar. Punter is great. Mularkey didn't pick these players. I'm not going to drill him until he has a new QB to work with and some of "his" type of players. I am putting Evans, Losman, Anderson...etc. under his watch, however.

JP is too cocky to be a bust. He won't allow himself to be bad. I like that trait. The only thing that worries me about JP is that he seems too reckless with his body when he's out of the field. Maybe this leg injury was a blessing in disguise. He now realizes that his body is not made of steel. He needs to protect it in the Pro's. If he's smart, he will use his legs to scramble to the sidelines for that all important 1st down and he will use them to buy time in the pocket and roll out. He should not try to be Mike Vick and fly up the middle unless he's prepared to get walloped. As we've seen, the true scramblers like Vick are not that successful and get "sacked" alot behind the line of scrimmage. The great QB's buy time and use their intelligence and quick release. They mostly use their arms to be great QB's and their legs give them the added playmaking ability.

Great Post. I don't care if Bledsoe is sucking hind tit right now. At this point, he is the only option we have, and no matter how bad things have gotten he has never quit on his teammates or the fans. He leaves 110% on the field.
Next time you want to make a post like this please include your boss's telephone number along the names of your coworkers. If you or any of your coworkers f-up, YOU will accept all the blame. Then I will personally leave little flaming bags of love on your porch steps until you leave town.
You are a true class act.
Jagoff!
Tell me what world you're living in that Shane Matthews to Drew Haddad couldn't produce the same results as we've seen under Drew? Why is he the only option? I don't care what he does between the 20's, the guy can't make a play or inspire his teammates. If he has an occasional decent home game, whoopee! I don't care because he embarrasses himself on the road.
You need to understand that this is Pro football. This is the highest level of football and the guy is simply a train wreck when there's a hint of pressure. All that matters is production and results on the field. He's not doing data entry or selling ties for godssake.

No, I would never do that. as a kid I lived in the same Williamsville neighborhood as Butch Byrd, Charles Romes, OJ, etc... No need to invade their personal lives thats stupid (and a very trailor trash mentality).
I'm talking about verbalizing our displeasure to Bills management even more than we do now. The media is doing a good job getting the point across as well.

I disagree, Drew can win the home games. Keep starting him at home. The road is a different ballgame. You need a guy to create a spark and JP could not be any worse than Drew. I'd give JP ample playing time in our remaining road games as long as his leg is healthy.
