Takeo Spikes took a good number of reps with the second team.

definitely encouraging news.....hopefully soon he'll be practicin with the first team...

I do think that getting the extra reps in practice could only help our starting QB, whoever it turns out to be, but Pyrite Gal did make a very valid point in stating that is important for BOTH QBs to get reps, as nowadays, most do not start a full season....
Very valid points to all of you...

I agree with you wholeheartedly. I really, really hope that that is what Jauron is doing, is basically just making it seem like it's a competition, for the sole purpose of allowing JP to earn the support of his teammates.

Please forgive me if this topic has already been addressed, as this is my first topic created.
Am I the only one not in agreement in how Dick Jauron is handling the quarterback situation? The way he has tap-danced around the issue, refusing to name a starter(I know it's only the first preseason game and apparently who starts is irrelevant), almost brings back memories of Mularkey and the way he would dance around issues and be vague with the media and everyone else. "It may be seniority, or it may be reverse seniority." I mean, what's the deal?
Also, I just don't believe that splitting reps in practice, especially with the installation of a new offense, is good for either QB. I am definitely a JP supporter, and I hope with every fiber of my being that he does win the starting job, but if DJ's plan is let Holcomb start, then dammit just let him get the majority of the reps.
I think it's pretty much a safe bet to say that JP has outplayed Holcomb in camp from day one. His passes are much more crisp, he looks much more poised in the pocket than last year, he throws a gorgeous deep ball, and his accuracy, while it may not be the same as Holcomb's(mostly because of all of Holcomb's checkdown throws) has definitely improved. So why has Jauron not come out even once and praise JP in camp? I don't think he's mentioned him individually even once.
I say that to make this point. As good as JP has looked in camp, imagine if he were getting the lion's share of the reps. I think Jauron's approach to this QB situation is just plain wrong.
Please someone shed some light on this for me....
GO BILLS!!!

A million dollar talent with a ten cent head. If this kid could only imagine everything he's thrown away. One day he'll wake up and realize he could be spending an early retirement on a beach somewhere instead of the pen. Clarett has to be one of the most tragic stories of unfulfilled promise in many years.
Well put. It truly is a shame.

Starter Soon At QB: Dick Jauron said yesterday he thinks he knows who will start at QB on Saturday against Carolina but that will not mean that person is the starter entering the season. A final decision was expected to be made last night after a meeting with the coaches but he doesn't plan on making it public until Thursday or Friday. He said the starter this week may be based on seniority or reverse seniority. Expect Kelly Holcomb to get the nod for the first preseason game.
Well, at least JP the backup Qb. But remember, look how much time the backup Qb's got in the Hall of Fame game. JP better show us that he can be the true starting Qb for this team.
Very good point on the backup QBs in the HOF game. I wouldn't mind seeing Holcomb start and play a series, then JP get in there for a couple quarters. I just pray when the regular season starts, Holcomb is ANYWHERE but under center for us. JP is gonna have to be the man for us...

I've actually only been going to Township Grille since 2001, but I'm not sure who the owner is. When I meet up with everyone on Saturday, I will ask who it is.
I really do like going there. Every Sunday they have a room reserved in the back for all the Bills fans, and they have a buffet set up for the whole game. It's wings, meatballs, hot dogs, pasta, and salad. They also give out prizes at halftime.
I believe the other spot now for Bills fans is Tavern on the Tracks, although I haven't been to it yet....

I live here in Charlotte. Several Bills Backers are planning on doing some tailgating at the Township Grille, which is the regular season spot for everyone to watch Bills games. I think everyone is meeting there around 3:30p, then heading over to the game together.
As far as getting some tickets, to me the best way to get a pair is on e-Bay. Right now you can get a pair for about 90 bucks, which isn't bad. But being it's less than a week away now, your best bet might be getting them at the stadium.
I just checked on ticketmaster.com, and single seats are still available for purchase.

1) JP Losman
"When Losman came to talk with me, he came alone. When Holcomb came by, he was with Willis McGahee. Everything counts in this battle, and developing relationships with your teammates is always a factor."
As I said in a previous post, JP seems like a pretty cool guy -- but from all indications at camp, he really doesn't seem to have too many good friends on the team. When he was out that one night, he was witih McCargo and Fowler, two new guys... but just from my vantage point, he has not mingled much with other vets on the team. Thought it was interesting that Kirwan touched on that as well.
2) Willis McGahee
"McGahee can play, but I never get the feeling he embraces the concept of being a team leader of the Buffalo Bills. He reminds me more of a veteran free agent signed to play well but never part of the "family." There's nothing wrong with his style, but it's hard not to get the feeling he will finish his career somewhere else down the road."
I couldn't have said it better myself and hope that is not the case.
Thoughts on either or both???
It really doesn't surprise me to read what he had to say about Willis. I too get the same feeling, that he just plays for a paycheck. I love the fact he's in a Bills uniform, and I think he's a stand-up guy. When I went to the Bills Packers preseason game last year, I saw Willis sign at least 20 autographs DURING the game, and even took a few pics with fans on the front row. But he just doesn't seem like a 'team player'. He kinda seems like he's content to get paid, and doesn't really care where he does it at.
What does trouble me is reading that JP STILL has not earned the respect of the players. I mean, it sounds to me like there's still plenty of players that would rather see Holcomb under center, and that really bothers me alot. I mean, what did JP do? I honestly believe that anyone who follows football, let alone the Buffalo Bills, knows that all Holcomb is is an adequate backup, at best.

It's very possible. I think I read he was already in the rochester area because he was so close to getting a deal done, so it's a good chance for that!!!
Let's Go Buffalo!!!

Niiice. Let's git r done Whitner!!!

I will be tuned in....

...compete for serious playing time. I'm very excited about the potential of Simpson paired with Whitner. Imagine the Bills with two playmaking safeties patrolling the backfield for the next 5-6 years (and hopefully longer).
Damn, I love football season. Even the negative !@#$s on this board can't keep me down. Go Bills!
I agree. I heard some good things about Ko Simpson, and if he pans out the way the brass at OBD is hoping, he and Whitner will make a nice tandem for years to come.
Although many people are predicting a horrible year for us, I'm remaining quietly optimistic. Nothing would make me happier than to prove all the non-believers wrong...
