But, but ... how does proving it help us ? (1) We are NOT a playoff caliber team, (2) DB will not be starting next year
So, even if the current batch on the offense proves they can overcome adversity, that will not help with JP in there next year. It is better to prove it by the end of the season WITH JP so we are launching for next year. Much as coaches like to not admit the season is over, it is better to look at reality and act accordingly. Did naming McGahee a starter prove that MM had given up ?
I bet the line is not as bad as DB makes it look. Yesterday was the first time I saw the Bills play and it is amazing how many times, DB could have just slid or moved somewhat to avoid a pass rush. But he does not and the line gets flak for 'having defenders in his face'. At a minimum, JP will learn to sense pressure, move away and make throws on the run.
Purely from a business standpoint, it will put some interest in an otherwise putrid season and sell some seats.

Bledsoe is done. When they pulled him and put in JP...that was the final nail in the coffin.
JP will get much better with the more snaps he takes. We still have people dissing the kid for last night. He was on the sidelines in SWEATS for Gods sake. He has taken virtually NO Snaps in practice. They told him they were going with Mathews. then BANG! Throw him in there. I'm sorry folks that wasn't right by the coaching staff at all. I would almost bet Wyche is sitting up there going 'WTF???
Look the season is over. All playoff hopes are now officially breasts up Time to build.
I for one want to see JP take all the snaps this week. See him start AT HOME Against St. Louis and go from there. We do this and by the end of the season I see JP giving us some really good vibes for next year.
I think an overwhelming majority of this board agrees. Unfortunately, I also saw this article: http://sports.yahoo.com/nfl/news?slug=fanb...nball&type=lgns
Not sure I saw it in the Buff News so don't know the real origin of this news article. It would help if MM came out today and said so directly thus ending speculation once and for all.

Add one more need from us - no turnovers from us especially DB throwing interceptions.

I'll tell you how to end the date. Take her home, and if you would like to see her again, just say "I've had a wonderful time. I'd like another date." Keep your hands and lips to yourself.
Relationships with people that are worthwhile take time to develop, Ramius, exactly because both parties are good folk.
Assuming ofcourse that he is looking for a relationship.

I did post those jokes in the spirit of the original post, which was a joke (hence the Silly Unfocused Wednseday, or SUW, tag). I really didn't want to offend anyone.
Okay, back to bashing the Bills, baseball talk, and all that other crap.

I am offended that you did not have any jokes about (Asian) Indians. Aren't we funny enough ? Too nerdy for you ? huh ? huh ?
Just kidding - your apology, if it was ever required, is evidence of your fine personality.

I hope he does get the start. I can't wait to see what he can do when he gets a whole game's worth of action.
I like how the article tries to make it seem like willis wants to be traded to the dolphins and the only thing they base it on is that he wants more playing time and he misses southern florida. Of course he is going to miss his home at least a little bit. Leave it to the media to start rumors.
If you rate TH as a 1 and WM as a 1.2 (in terms of ability and potential) then WM at 80% fit (1.2 x .8 = 0.96) is better than TH at 90% (1 x 0.9 = 0.9).
Aren't you glad I am an engineer ?

Just to dwell on the little guy a bit longer - it is not about rushes only but also about scrambling and stepping away from pressure. But I agree - the stat by itself is surprising.
My point again is that - if we have a crown jewel OL, receiver, RB and general supporting cast, we don't need a QB with a powerful arm. Just about any above-average QB will do. In the absence of one or many of the crown jewels, you are better off with a scrambling and pressure sensing QB. Am I stating something that is way too obvious to be mentioned ?
-
And therein lies the rub. My opinion is that a good QB makes the OL and team look better. here we have to 'max protect', 'give him the weapons', 'give him time to sit and throw', 'get may recievers that can get open' etc. Planning for this takes away a lot of flexibility the O coaches need. We are babying him and really trying to make him look good. Who cares ? I would rather have an above-average QB that can cope with some of the lines faults and make everything look better.
{dare I say this ?} That was where Flutie was good - he could do things even with a weak arm that compensated for the faults of the O-Line. That is where Favre is a God - he cannons the ball between defenders even if the receiver is not 'open'. So sometimes he gets intercepted but most of the time he makes the receivers look good.

Actually, I think we really are doome.d. We are 0-4 which means no wins ! What other definition of doom is there in the NFL ? So I wish we stop using this overblown font to make fun of posters that imply the season has gone down the tubes. Wake up - it has. We are one of the worst teams in the league and yes, the season is doom.ed. So there !

Rather than trying to make Drew be what he is not and leaving his best cards unplayed, we need to turn him loose. Rather than pretending we have a bunch of road graders up front rather than what we really have: unmotivated, unskilled, flab-meisters, we need to face the facts, our best chance of scoring is to get lucky deep. Given the lack of protection, we have to play max protect and hope that Evans and Moulds can get free even with only a few WR's in the pattern.
Can we officially declare an end to the debate about whether hiring McNally was all that was needed to get this line to produce? Clearly, it was not. Even a good coach like him needs more talent than we have right now.
Last year, we were screaming for giving the running game a chance and that we were passing too much. This time we have a balance on the number of plays both ways. So which will it be ? I think we continue with emphasis on the running game but when passing, go for the big plays and not the Tom Brady-ish dinking and dunking. That will be the best balance right now. Plus we really have to see if w can make better use of the TEs and test out Euhus to see if he is the Metzelaars type of TE that we have been missing.

As a long-suffering Bills fan who has been a supporter thru the good times and the bad, I feel I just have to vent. One of our three key free agents Mr. Jonas Jennings is looking for a payday after the season. Maybe he should ask the Jets John Abraham for a loan as he made Abraham a few extra thousand yesterday in performance bonus money with his sorry ass performance.
I disagree. Every player has one or two bad games and he admitted he played badly yesterday. We cannot chase overall good players away for just a few mistakes. Look at how we are adjusting after the loss of P Price, A Winfield. It took us one full season to find a replacement to Price (Evans) and this season we are missing Winfield. I think we keep Jennings, who overall is an above average player. We need to find a new center, replace Mike Williams and get a good TE (is Euhus good ?).

No. I think we go 3-8 and play JP for the last five.

- Asking for a change does not make me a marginal fan
- Wanting a rookie QB does not imply throwing the season away. We are not exacting charting an unabated path to the playoffs with oru approach right now.
- What do we want done this season anyway ? Do you think we will win 10 of the next 13 games, assuming a 10-6 record is required to even think of the playoffs ?
- One Coy Wire is not going to change anything. Neither is one QB change. We need to make changes whenever we see consistently sloppy play.
-
Looking at our pending schedule, I honestly feel that we can sweep to victories in our next five games. The Jets can be beaten as their undefeated record has been earned against three really poor teams. The Dolphins are horrid and we can shut down the Ravens. If we can handle Arizona and the Jets at home, we finish the midpoint of the season at 5-3.
I still believe in this team and as frustating as this loss was, it did show me many potential positives we can look forward too.
Is that you Tom Donahoe ?

That's a bunch of poopoo. Their are PLENTY of QB's that start off as rookie's during a lost season. Just to name a few Brian Leftwich, Peyton Manning, our own Joe Fergy. Do you think these guys are bad QB's and is Jack Del Rio, Mora, or Lou Saban bad coaches? Listen to what Peyton says which is start off in your rookie year
. Sick of Focking Bledslow
Yep !!
I hear big Ben Rothlesberger (sp?) is doing pretty well in Pittsburgh. How many years of experience does he have under hsi belt ?
Trade w/Dallas ?

Last night's MNF game showed that the Cowboys don't have a consistent running game and Vinny is washed up as well. So, how about an off-season trade w/Dallas to get back our first round pick ? Just maybe Parcells thinks that he can use DB again till they find a long term soultion at QB.
I really forgot how long TH is signed till. Is he a FA after this season or the next ? I think we have him till next year so it will technically qualify as a trade.
If TD is a good negotiator, he will get more than just one first rd pick for the two of them together but considering TH's lack of playing time this season and DB's awful performance, their combined trade value may be low.
Thoughts ?
