Tues. Buff News - Bills Ready To Go With Losman

Recommended Posts

 

Just give me something about DREW's play, not the teams so much, to make a case for him to contonue to start and be satisified with 8-9 win seasons..

He moved better in and out of the pocket this year.

 

He ran for positive yards more.

 

His QB rating was just under 100 after the 0-4 start.

 

His sacks dropped considerably, particularly after the 0-4 no McGahee start

 

His number 1 WR ranked 45th in the NFL with a 58% catch rating and a sh-tload of important drops, his slot receiver position was essentially useless

 

No TEs for the final 4 games.

 

And all the people bitching about his totals should remember that he sat 4 4th quarters in 4 blowouts

(3Ws, 1L) lots of NFL QBs use this garbage time to run up their stats.

 

He knows the system and the coaches etc far better than anyone else.

 

And finally, his QB rating is 40 points higher than the guy you're ready to turn the team over to.

A couple of years?  So if JPL starts and we suck (4-12, 5-11), you won't complain at all and will just say "He'll do better next season!"

Assuming that the same team is here for the next two years, I would be shocked if the Bills took that far of a step back with JP at QB. I believe that they will go with a conservative offense much like Pittsburgh did this year. I can see 7-9, but not a 4 win season. The rest of this team is too damn good.

You lose all credibility with statements like this. I don't know if you like DB on a personal level or what your story is, but REPEATEDLY throwing out JP's passer rating last year based on 4 or 5 passes is fuggin ridiculous. It appears that you like DB to the point where you hope that JP fails. Whatever floats your boat....I guess. :)

I didn't ask you what you thought the team's record would be, I asked what your reaction would be if they DID suck that bad. Say what you will, but the only game that DB could be pegged with the loss is the Patriots. SO things COULD be much worse than they were this year.

Since Kelly retired the Bills have sent 2 seperate QBs to the probowl. The fans and media ending up running them both out of town. I have decided I'm just going to get a head start now on the rest of the Bills faithful and say JP blows. How big a cap hit will it be if we have to cut him? Are there an UFA QBs we can sign? Boohoo.

Because ALL credibility is lost when you conclude your post with a ridiculous statement like the one I referenced.

 

 

If DB is the better man for 2005, then so be it. I don't see it happening.

Are you talking about the Bills/Broncos preseason game where Mularky called a QB draw on the first play?  From listening to Mularky on that  call, it sounded like he just wanted Losman to get his first NFL hit out of the way.  I don't remember ever reading/hearing that he was being coached to run first (aside from the one playcall, which isn't really coaching).

 

I watched the "Sounds of the Game" yesterday, and that's what I saw.

In order to gauge my reaction, I would have to see JP's play during the 4-12 season. I'd be disappointed overall.

I've created at least 2 posts with lengthy facts. One you chose to ignore, the other you chose to cherry pick one stat from and claim it is useless. Your credibility, since you've decided to impugn mine, is based on what...ignoring the whole of others' statements, jumping on the bandwagon mentality...

 

I have a right to back Bledsoe while the rising tide is against him and I choose to do so with facts not rhetoric. As far as wishing Jp ill, I don't, I strongly believe bringing him in early is absurd.

Last Bills playoff win - 1995. Flutie and Bledsoes Pro-Bowl invites mean nothing, next to that stat.

I wish you well in your continued backing of DB. Yes DB played better after WM was made the starter, but with the season on the line he layed an egg against Pittsburgh. NO, it was not ALL his fault, but if you watch that game and can tell me that he played well in the MOST IMPORTANT GAME OF THE SEASON, then we are seeing two different players.

 

I believe the Bills are spinning their wheels with him as our starter. Let's see what the off-season brings.

"Everybody"  will be ready to lynch JPL the minute he falters as well.  I guarantee that if he throws 4 INTs in his first game, everyone will be saying, "We should've kept Bledsoe!  I've said that all along!" or "I told you we should've signed [insert veteran QB here]!  Why did we start JPL, the guy sucks!!!!"

 

Guaranteed.  It happened with TC, it happened with AVP, it happened with RJ, it happened with DF, it happened with DB, and it will happen with JPL.

Not from me... there is only 1 Bledsoe, & he will not be missed,

regardless of what JP does as a Bill.

What Quarterbacks DONT sit from time to time? Forget the numbers, look at his play, and you know what, some of the points you bring up are valid, im not gonna say EVERYTHING you say isnt valid, because thats not true. Did Drew play better in 04 then in 03? Yes, but did the ENTIRE TEAM, Especially special teams and the defnese creating SO many more turnovers play better? Oh yeah!!!

 

To me its so clear as day when you watch Drew play against some of the better defenses in the league, the Bills have to scale down (aka, be more conserative) when playing better defenses BECAUSE of Drew's inability to handle a pass rush. Look at the Steelers game, the Bills almost exclusively went 2 RB 3 WR shotgun formations the entire game, that is the most conserative Shotgun formation there is. You wonder why receivers couldnt get open? Because the Bills are so worried about protecting Drew, so receivers cannot get open + Drew holding the ball too long in the pocket = Drew sack and sometimes fumble = Loss to 4th stringers, out of the playoffs.

 

Drew, he had his moments, but now its time to move on.

I don't know how to calculate passer rating, but here is DB's for the last 12 games per nfl.com...

 

90.2

30.4

100.4

88.8

14.3

108.5

64.6

132.9

51.5

80.3

89.6

58.9

 

 

Could you tell me how to calculate this as a whole because looking at his individual rating for each game, it does not appear that as a whole that his passer rating is "just under 100" for the last 12 games.

"Bandwagon Mentality" huh?

Right you are OL! 2 things are "IN" on tsw right now, in order:

1) Drew sucks. Not making the playoffs was his fault.

2) Travis Henry is a highly sought after commodity. The 9-3 record after his benching meant nothing, and other GMs wont notice.

 

Disagree with either of these 2 "facts" and the experts (you know, the ones who know SO much more than you) crawl out of their holes and pile on as if THEY have all the answers and YOU are a fool.

The board was not always like this. :)
