"...but they were the suckiest bunch of sucks that ever did suck." Actually, if you've seen my posts its not that bad... but I figured this speaks for the majority of Bills nation. Three losses easily could have been three wins, but if the fans and team start turning against each other its going to be a long season

No doubt - that O line might as well be a turnstile when there's a big play on the line Not that Drew's perfect his short game is not his strong suit - he can toss it like a laser beam at 30-50 yards, but ask him to "touch" it in for 5 yards with a soft throw... well, its not pretty that's especially so when Defenses are keying on the short pass - Drew needs to use the long pass to set up the short game - not vice versa like other QBs So what does your coach do? Mandates the short game first and foremost - I still can't figure out why. Now team Ds are totally keying on the short game, making it even harder for him and harder to run if there's a method to this madness I'd like to know what the coaches are thinking - they've got one of the best long ball arms in football and hardly let him use it But there's reason to hope, as they did let him toss it long on a few occasions today what was Phily's record last year at this time - anyone recall?

Come on guys - I know everyone's abandoning ship, but until the offensive line did something offensive again, that was going to be a tie game with 2 minutes left! Sure the Pats still would have driven down the field for FG at least to put it away, but does anyone doubt if not for just a few ball bounces, the Bills could be 3-0 intstead of 0-3? True, good games don't have the types of lapses the Bills have shown, but the Pats were looking pretty sloppy today too 0-3 is a hole, no doubt, but quite a few teams have dug out of it before Get behind your team!

Probably right about that DC - but I think its beginning to dawn on Red Sox fans that baseball is a flawed product and football is gaining a stronghold as the #1 sport- without a salary cap and given the guaranteed baseball contracts, the product on the field will never be the best, nor fair - baseball might as well be spotting the Yanks 4 runs a game and the Sox 2 for that matter No argument with the fact that the Bills GM has fallen down on the job either The thing about Bledsoe - unlike other QBs who set up the long ball and the running game with short passes - Bledsoe needs to set up the short game with the long ball - when his OL gives him the time he's very effective There's any number of come from behind victories/30 second drives I can recall from nearly a decade of Bledsoe play in New England - but you'll notice with all of them, his line gave him the time he needed

Yeah - I know ... "Drew Three Pat" there were a bunch of things he did that drove usPats fans crazy too But really - from the perspective outside of Buffalo, your QB does not look like your biggest problem sure the offense should share the blame for the game 1 loss - but I put that squarely on a major defensive lapse - and from what I hear the Jags have a pretty good defense themselves then throw in a 13-10 blowout loss to the Raiders, and I can see why everyone's panicked Hey - some football games are just low scoring - even the Pats have their share of games like that - you hope to win but sometimes come out on the losing side Now I know a coach who once said - "you are what your record says you are" and I don't disagree - but I remember a certain team last year was 1-2 after 3 games and I think they did OK in the end

Hey Guys - Sorry if this topic's already been posted. Obviously I'm a Pats fan here, looking to see what Buffalo Nation is saying prior to our next game. But I'm also a long-time Bledsoe fan - why you may ask? A few reasons. He helped return the Pats to respectability in the 90s. He's got a gun of an arm (though the Buffalo coaches would prefer he toss 7 yard passes) He's one tough mutha (go back and watch the tape of games he played with broken fingers) He's a team player (he worked to help Tom Brady - not undermine him) That last one's pretty important. You won't find him blaming his team mates, his offensive offensive line, or anyone else - in fact, he'll go out of his way to shoulder responsibility even when its not all his fault. Unfortunately it seems like a lot of fans and even some of his team mates re more than willing to accomdate him and heap blame on him. As someone who watched Bledsoe play for quite a few years, let me share a few insights: Whether things get better or worse for Buffalo depends much more on the rest of the team than on Bledsoe. If his line gives him some time, he'll make the play. And hopefully, once his line starts giving him the time, the coaches will let him open up the field with a few long ball passes. That, and a decent running game, is essential to opening up the passing game. I know this is all Football 101, but it seems like that's what the Bills are lacking - the RBs are not up to full speed and the offensive line is... well I said that before. Bottom line, its a team sport and the QB can't do it alone. Now yes, Bledsoe is guilty of holding the ball too long on occasion in an effort to make the play. I suppose he just has too much faith in the guys who are paid to protect him. But from an opposing fan's viewpoint, I hope Buffalo will cut the guy a break. If I were him I'd refuse to sacrifice my body and jeopardize my life playing behind that line - but not a peep of criticism comes from Drew. Let's at least give him credit for that. Thanks for listening
