Because Losman represents hope for most fans and people don't want to believe there is no hope for this team.

Boller is 2 games above .500 as a starter. This with one of the best O-lines, running games, and D's in the league. That's just pathetic. In that situation all you have to do is no !@#$ up and your team wins, but Boller can't even manage that. The "inexperienced" excuse is gone now, he's started 25+ games for the Ravens. The guy needs to produce now or he'll end up a career backup.

Are you assuming a Losman injury? Because, barring injury, I'd lay cash on the table saying you're prediction won't come to pass...and I don't even have that much confidence that Losman won't struggle mightily this year. I just don't think the club will pull him when he does.

I guess your standards for "quality" journalism are lower than mine if you think doing a bit of research for a comparison equates to a "PhD dissertation" and isn't needed for a simple article in a newspaper. To each his own.

I have to disagree; he only partly earned his paycheck. Its easy to look at the Bills schedule and say "hey, who did they play", but unless you're going to actually compare it to the other top flight D's in the league, you've done a half-assed job. I'd also disagree with you about "if he elicits a reaction from you...then Sullivan has earned his paycheck." Any idiot with a strong opinion can elicit a reaction from the general public, its not tough to do. The trick is to actually make the public think and, perhaps, question their own opinions. Sullivan rarely does that because his arguments aren't generally that well thought out.

I just don't see it happening. He wants to be paid like the best CB in the league (which he's not). Personally, I prefer not paying any one position that much cash, no matter how good the player is.

The prevent D isn't what cost the Oilers that game. It was the run and shoot. They didn't run the ball often enough to take time off the clock. A lot of 3 and outs when you're throwing the ball means that not much time is going off the clock. Its actually the opposite of going into a shell that cost them that game. Had they gone into a shell they would have won.

That jersey looks like you could fit 5 of him in it.

Yeah, I think people forget how good he was. For a few seasons he was right up there with Ray Lewis as the top LB in the game. It's a shame how his career turned out.

If it was just for one year I'd take Pennington. All things considered I'd probably have to roll the dice and go with Losman.

See: Exception to the rule.

Hell, if a coach goes for 2 points with more than 7-8 minutes left its almost always a mistake.

I'm not going to argue that Henry can pass block as well as Willis, but to attribute a turnaround that large to one player is over doing it. It could be possible that Mularky identified problems and instituted changes that would fix the problem, but we wouldn't want to give the head coach credit...

And why isn't MM responsible for McGahee "grasping things" and Evans "getting it?" You can try to give credit to other coaches all you want (Grey, April) but the head coaches job isn't just the offense, even if he came in as a offensive "guru", his job is the keep the entire team on course, to know when he should get more involved with an aspect of the team and when he should lay off. MM isn't Belichick, but to discount the job he did last year by diverting your kudos to other coaches is pretty short sighted. The Bills, even with that craptacular performance against Pittsburgh finished the season 8-2. That’s a pretty good job for a rookie coach.

Yes, because dissenting opinions must be silenced...

Switch our QBs and the Bills would win the division this year, easily. So you can go on thinking there's a huge gap between the two teams, but there's not.

I thought this was pretty hysterical. This chick is smart

All this is true. Warhammer is very expensive, if you want a game that's just as good (if not better) and has miniatures that are less expensive, try WarMachine.

Actually, I have to agree with Greybeard. Ice would be defending JP up and down durning the first, oh, 5 weeks of the season. By week 6 he'd be saying what a total POS this guy is and Holcomb should be playing.

Got a 61 Actually I disagree with this totally. If I've seen the breast I can just about always tell you the cup size...but its not that easy to be able to tell how wide the womans back is.

Its seems that every year the journalists outside the Buffalo area predict that the Bills will be somewhere in the 6-10 to 9-7 range and every year the people on this board say, "they just don't get it" or "the national media doesn't pay attention to the Bills the way we do" or "we never get any respect!". Then, 5 months later the Bills finish in the 6-10 to 9-7 range. As for this year, you can only protect a young QB so much. Unless you have an absolute dominating Oline in the running game you really can't hide your QB. Eventually he will have to make plays and avoid costly turnovers. The national media is right, the Bills will go as far as Losman can take them. I don't even think the national media is judging Losman off of how good they think the kid is, they're simply going by history. And history says the Bills won't go the playoffs this year.

I'll agree that Champ Baily is one of the most overrated players in the league...but the stuff you quote from Dr. Z (a guy I respect) doesn't support that Clements is a top 5 CB, just that Baily isn't. I agree with Sullivan that Clements is not an "elite" corner right now. Clements has only had one year where his play was top flight (last year). Consistancy is what sperates the top dogs and the guys on the level just below them, I want to see Clements do it again before I'll consider him one of the top corners in the league.

Even worse, they booed Darren Daulton's 2 year old son on "father and son" day because Daulton was in the middle of a slump.

You haven't seen enough. Henry was a huge liability in the passing game, from both a blocking and receiving standpoint. He might just be the worst RB I’ve ever seen at picking up the blitz. In addition, Henry's running style subjected him to a lot of abuse. Although he never missed a lot of time he got dinged up quite a bit and that is eventually going to take its toll. I don't see the guy being productive in the league for any more than 2 years. Really, all you have to do is watch WM run and then watch TH run. It’s not even comparable. Those stats you use don’t mean that much. You're comparing numbers from different years and also comparing them to a WM who wasn't 100% last year. Lastly, TD didn't sacrifice anything. That first round pick he used on WM would most likely have been used on Kelsay, who the Bills got in the 2nd round anyway. Switch those two picks around and nobody is batting an eye at that draft at all.

After watching those clips from practice I can now say that Losman will be a bust because its obvious his throwing mechanics suck.
