I really, really hope the Bills can sneak out of Miami with a W Sunday.
Dare I say, this game could be a shootout?
I'm gonna go with my heart instead of my head on this one and predict:
Bills 31, Dolfelons 28
A last second field goal by Lindell gets the win!
GO BILLS!

The only one that comes as a mild surprise is Aaron Gibson. I thought he would stick around. I heard he was pretty immovable throughout camp. Maybe they were referring to the inability to move him away from the buffet table.
-
I hope they hold him out as well...no need in rushing him back any sooner than need be. As bad as we need him out there, I wouldn't be opposed to him returning for the home opener against the Jets.
But the coaches as well as Takeo must feel like he has progressed to a point where they feel comfortable enough letting him out there. I just hope Takeo isn't his own worst enemy and trying to come back too soon..

Holcomb does have intangibles..
The ability to throw a 3 yard completion on 4th and 16 counts as an intangible doesn't it?

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...

Losman's Mobility
in The Stadium Wall Archives
Posted
A great win yesterday against our most hated division rival. But there is one thing that has me just a bit concerned, and that is the lack of JP's use of his wheels. I remember reading in training camps and pre-season that the coaches were MAKING him stand in the pocket and avoid the pass rush. In the 4 preseason games plus the 2 regular season games, I believe I have seen JP take off with the ball only once or maybe twice.
One of his obvious strengths coming out of college was his mobility and his ability to make plays happen with his feet. While I do think that many times last year he did have a case of happy feet, I also believe that he was able to make several nice plays by taking off with the football when things broke down. I hope that the coaching staff isn't crippling JP so to speak by taking away his option to run, or even throwing in a few plays here in there designed to get him out in the open field.
I think he is leaps and bounds beyond where he was last year, and I am very pleased with the job our coaching staff has done with JP and the rest of this team, I just think if we want to get Losman playing to his full potential, shouldn't we let him take off with it at least once or twice a game??
GO BILLS!!!
