Rico Posted February 16, 2005 Share Posted February 16, 2005 I don't think so... Pucillo & Reese will be gone, & Wire won't be playing D I guess it's Lindell, or maybe Josh Reed. No more high-profile players left to slam, What a beautiful thing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McGee may get burned a little, but he'll make plays that compensate. True whipping boys have to really suck with no redeeming qualities, that's the only way to get any strength in numbers against them. . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. K Posted February 16, 2005 Share Posted February 16, 2005 Great post--you know there WILL be a new whipping boy, at the earliest possible moment. Too bad Travis Henry's likely to be gone, because he's the next obvious scapegoat. Reed has already been in the crosshairs, but I expect him to take a lot more fire. Mike Williams could be it. Certainly Tom Donahoe will be a high profile target whenever anything at all goes wrong--if, for instance, McGahee has a serious injury or Losman flounders. I give Losman about three bad games before the screams become deafeniing. I hope he doesn't have any bad games, but that's wishful thinking.

BRH Posted February 16, 2005 Share Posted February 16, 2005 JP will be the next whipping boy. And I'm not saying that because I'm upset about the move (I am all about "my team, right or wrong" and will support JP 100%). I'm saying it because the backup QB is ALWAYS the most popular guy on the team. The minute JP !@#$s up next season -- and you know he will have his moments -- some of the same people who were calling for DB's head are going to be screaming that JP isn't ready and either (1) MM should play the backup or (2) TD should have found a better backup.

Sure, the old Drew Apologists will be out for blood, but most of the Bledsoe Bashers & everyone else will give him a lot of rope for 3 reasons:1. He's still young 2. He'll be very exciting to watch. 3. He's not Drew. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

millbank Posted February 16, 2005 Share Posted February 16, 2005 No Mike Williams will be the next whipping boy, it has already started that he redo his contract , which he does not want to do. He was watched like a hawk last season, with JP starting he will be watched that much more closely and any failing will be attributed to him , fair or not........

LabattBlue Posted February 16, 2005 Share Posted February 16, 2005 My choice would be Jeff Posey, but in order to be a whipping boy, you have to be noticable. Seeing how Posey disappears for games at a time, this may disqualify him from consideration. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Half of the posters throwing cursing parties for the Bledsoe departure were the same nincompoops screaming we needed to add Jeff Garcia last offseason- "all we need is a good QB with mobility!". It's perfectly understandable though if you apply their math- A) 1/53rd of the roster is more important than the balance B) 1/53rd of the roster is capable of losing football games but incapable of winning them C) in '04 1/53rd of the roster lost 7 games while it's not really clear who those 9 wins get credited to ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fixxxer Posted February 16, 2005 Share Posted February 16, 2005 my best bet is Teague, there's always someone who will rip the guy even though he probably don't deserve it. the guy, while unspectacular is solid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buffalo Wing Posted February 17, 2005 Share Posted February 17, 2005 How dare you even bring up Coy Wire as a whipping boy! How dare you! He's the second coming of Ronnie Lott! <sarcasm button off> Seriously, the last time I made one negative comment about Coy Wire's ability to read a play (or should I say, inability to read a play), I got absolutely flamed on this board!

Brandon Posted February 17, 2005 Share Posted February 17, 2005 It'll be JP Losman. If there's one thing I've learned, in the post-Kelly era, Bills fans absolutely love to hate their QB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dante Posted February 17, 2005 Share Posted February 17, 2005 For me it's whomever lets the team down consistently in tough situations, in a Bledsoe like manner. Whomever doesnt learn from thier mistakes. Also in a Bledsoe like manner. Generally, whomever doesnt live up to thier lofty paychecks, ala Drew, they can be my whipping boy.
