apuszczalowski Posted November 9, 2005 Share Posted November 9, 2005 Don't know how many people caught TD on Shred and Ragan this morning on 103.3. I heard a few minutes of him this morning on my way to work and he said Holcomb will be the starter cause they still have a chance at the playoffs and he has played well. He says the desicions are up to MM but KH will start this week. Looking at our upcoming schedule and looking at NE's upcoming schedule, I don't see how it is possible that we get by them unless NE completly implodes and we get a few breaks along the way. He also said they have been looking into getting some long balls to Evans and Parrish, although I don't know how with Holcombs arm, but then I don't know their definition of what is long (maybe 10 yards) All I know is that it is going to be a long 8 weeks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brandon Posted November 9, 2005 Share Posted November 9, 2005 A long 8 weeks, and a long 2006 season, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
34-78-83 Posted November 9, 2005 Share Posted November 9, 2005 MM already said that KH would start this week. I'm starting to think I am on everyones' ignore list Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zow2 Posted November 9, 2005 Share Posted November 9, 2005 Good, KH should start. Maybe he is now getting into a "groove" and who knows? 9-7 might win the AFC East. Personally i think the BIlls are not a playoff caliber team and the JP fans will get their wish soon enough. JP will probably get 3 or 4 more starts to prove his worth before the season is done but for now i agree with starting KH. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Gross Posted November 9, 2005 Share Posted November 9, 2005 I seem to remember someone saying something in all the "start Losman" threads about Mularkey already saying that Holcomb would get the start, but can't remember who... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JDG Posted November 9, 2005 Share Posted November 9, 2005 Looking at our upcoming schedule and looking at NE's upcoming schedule, I don't see how it is possible that we get by them unless NE completly implodes and we get a few breaks along the way. It all starts this week with the Bills beating the Chiefs at home, and the Patriots being upset in Miami! The Pats have not won consecutive games all year, they've been beaten very soundly at home twice, and have three wins by the very skin of their teeth. I the Bills would be very foolish to assume that the Patriots couldn't go 5-3 the rest of the way. If we tie at 9-7, with the Bills beating the Pats at home, we'll have a decent strong shot at the tiebreaker, particularly if the Bills win out in the division.

gantrules Posted November 9, 2005 Share Posted November 9, 2005 On Brad Davies (Rochester radio) they had a KC broadcaster on who said don't even bother to run. Just throw the ball 60 times and you can take down the Chiefs. If that's the game plan then I'm all for Holcomb starting this game over JP.

apuszczalowski Posted November 9, 2005 Author Share Posted November 9, 2005 To all the people saying they said it earlier, thats great I probably read what you said earlier too, but what were you basing it by? Your own opinion our somebody in the Bills organisation? I'm just stating that this is what the GM of the team said during a radio show this morning. I'll take that as fact over "the pats lost so we are not out yet, Holcomb is starting" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JDG 498532[/snapback] This could be true (except for the dolphins winning, I really doubt that is gonna happen) but I'm looking at the fact that the Bills are going into one of the hardest schedules for their remaining 8 games and NE has one of the easier schedules for the remaining games. The Bills have not shown we can beat the harder teams so why is that gonna change now. I think that if Buffalo had beaten the Pats on Sunday night we would be looking at something completly different. I think that was the difference maker this season.

JDG 498532[/snapback] How can anybody reasonably expect this Bills team to go 6-2 against the schedule we face in the second half of the season? I keep hearing that 9-7 might get it done, but I'm wondering where all these wins are going to come from? The only games I see the Bills having a realistic shot at winning the rest of the way are against KC, Miami and the Jets. I'm sure they'll lose at least one of these and pick up a win they're not "supposed" to get, but there's no way in hell this team is going to put up 9 wins.

Also, its never a bad idea to make up some unfounded facts so you can blantantly throw in the smilie. That seems to do the trick for some posters here.
