The voice of reason.

I'm not upset with the loss as much as I'm upset with how they lost. This was classic Bills. They give you hope only to crush that hope by the end of the game. I don't know why I allow myself to fall for it every time.

That's fine, I don't have to convince you. I'm not saying that the game was called perfectly but too many people look to place the blame elsewhere when the Bills simply didn't play well enough to win in the second half.

At one point I just had to laugh. There was a tackle where Rodney Harrison came in and hit McGahee. Sims went on and on about what a tough tackler Harrison was and just listen to that hit. Later Mulroney got hit by (I think) Crowell. It was a solid hit and what does Sims say? He gives Mulroney credit for laying it to the defense. Apparently only the Pats are capable of making big hits.

What exactly do you want Losman to do on the safety? The pressure came immediately from his backside. There's absolutely nothing could have done.

Losman played well today. The guy can't make plays when there's somebody in his face on nearly every pass play. To say he looked the same as last year is ridiculous. The OL looked the same as last year. I'm actually pretty happy with the play of both Losman and the WRs.

Guess I'll be the voice of dissent. That penalty on Royal was legit. You can't push the guy in the back no matter how small the push was. Price wasn't out of bounds either. I'm not sure about the INT return, I haven't had a chance to look at it again. People need to get over blaming the refs. Blame the team. Blame the OL and backs that can't pass protect. Blame the D for getting pushed around and allowing the Pats to run all over them. The Bills got beaten today, plain and simple.

Who would have thought before this game that the Pat's fans would be booing their team at halftime?

I've heard this statement about a million times in my life. A few hours later, after the game it's usually followed by, "I can't believe they missed that PAT!?" or "it was a lock until that fluke punt return with two minutes left!"

I was thinking my game food was horrible but you made me feel a little better. Trying to watch what you eat when football season rolls around is tough. I either had to sacrifice the food or the beer, I went with the food. Chicken dogs and turkey chilli are on the menu for me today. =/ My wife's attempt to make it seem like football food wihtout the fat. Hopefully if I douse it with enough mustard it won't be so bad.

Someone save this post as I think it's the last positive post JSP posts all year. It's a shame since his first one was just a few days ago.

63 yards on 19 attempts. 1TD.

He's right. Sure they traded the 2nd and the 5th the following year to move up in the first but they also used a 1st round pick to draft Losman. So they used a 1st, 2nd and 5th to get him. I don't think it was a bad move given the lack of quality QBs that came out in the following draft (granted, that only holds true if Losman turns into a quality QB himself).

The last Bills game I bet on was SB 25 when I bet a friend of mine $100 that the Bills would score at least 20 points. I decided then and there I'd never lay money on them again.

I said the exact same thing a few posts up but only used three sentences.

Are you seriously complaining about the Bills not overpaying for an injury prone Jennings? Donahoe made a lot of mistakes, not re-signing Jennings wasn't one of them. Tell me, how many games has Jennings played for the 49ers thus far?

I'd rather roll the dice that Peters develops and is our future LT than sign McKinnie to that kind of contract. If he does develop into the player the coaching staff thinks he can I have no doubt he'll be moved to LT.

Yeah, your list is important. I've heard that JP likes to tell fart jokes in the huddle. How unprofessional can you get?

Of course I've seen him play and I don't think he's a top 25 player or top 5 WR. Off the top of my head I'd rather have Holt, Fitzgerald, Owens (in terms of the player, not locker room), Moss, Chambers, Smith & Chad Johnson. Imo those players are clearly better. Moss would be grouped in with the second tier of wideouts that includes players like Ward, Roy Williams and Andre Johnson.

I am so tired of using first round draft picks to replace first round draft picks that we let go. At some point this cycle has to end.

Do you actually think Clements deserves to be on that list? I sure as hell don't. Takeo might deserve to still be considered one of the best, but coming off the most devastating injury in sports I wouldn't put money on it. At this moment in time their omission of Bills players is justified.

You went from talking about the SB to saying it's going to be a long season after one game? Your long season talk shouldn't start until next week's loss.

If I was going to question a selection the first one that pops out to me is Santana Moss at 17. I wouldn't rank him in the top 50, much less top 20.

If he can put together another year like last year (and thus show some consistancy) I'd say he's the best LB in the league. The guy was a beast last year.
