the reason they couldn;t run it 3 straight times is that Drew used our last timeout while lined up to run a play.
Run the dam ball and let Willis fight for the score.
-
Bannan-
he moves really well for a big man- although he isn't really, really fast
It should be no problem for him to run down field and turn around - we mostly run button hooks anyway because Drew has no confidence to throw downfield anymore.
-
why stop at LG?
with a few more meetings, Bannan could take over for Bledsoe- he definitely moves better than Drew.
I mean how much more complicated can playing QB be than learning how to pass block?
-
yeah - his # is 97 and he is kicking butt and taking names
-
ICE, didn't you hear? Bledsoe didn't throw any pics. That means he had a great game, right? I mean, he only threw the ball for 81 yards in the second half - - - oh wait, i mean THE ENTIRE FUGGING GAME, but he didn't screw up.
How sad that we have fans that are so desperate to back this guy that by simply not throwing the game away, he played well.
unfortunately- he did screw up and threw it right to a Cards DB - who was so intent on planning his TD celebration that he dropped the ball.
Drew is not even looking to make a play downfield anymore. He is done.

the TEAM is not horrible.
only the play of the QB.

from Allen Wilson
" The Bills and Cardinals have identical 18-36 records since 2001. Their 18 wins are tied with the Cincinnati Bengals for the second fewest over that span. Only the Detroit Lions (14) are worse.
The Bills haven't had a winning season since 1999, which also was the last time they made the playoffs
"The Cardinals' front office has been blamed for the franchise's woeful history. Draft picks, most of them high first-rounders, turned into busts, and frugal ownership refused to go after top free agents. The team also has made some dubious coaching hires"
Gee- sound just like Teflon Tom
Too bad no one is saying the following about the Bills
"All you have to do is throw the tape on, and no matter what I say they're going to see this team is playing hard," he said. "Their bye week (prior to the Seattle game), they went back and retooled a little bit. I just see a different team. They're playing with more confidence, at a faster tempo. They're playing more physical. They're playing with more high emotion. I don't think there's any team you can take lightly in this league. Not for a second."

Wow this is a tough question but If I was gonna trade for any one player It would be Randy Moss. He opens up everything. I mean when guys like Nate Burelson(who?) Kelly Cambell(who?) Marcus robinson (ok I think you get the point) are putting up stats that just says it all. Moss opens up everything. He demands Double and sometimes triple teams on every play. Teams aren't gonna all out blitz your qb cause all you'd have to do is throw it up to moss's side and he'll come down with it. Theres not one corner in this league who can man up randy moss. So That would be my answer.
Guys I'd Consider other than Moss
Jevon Kearse
John Abraham
Dwight Freeney
John Ogden
Orlando Pace
Anyone on the chiefs offensive line
Olen Kruetz
Anyone on the colts offensive line.
Kris Jenkins
Shaun Rogers
Ed Reed
Sean Taylor(Despite his problems right now I believe he has the ability to be an all world safety)
but no mention of the QB that runs the offense that Moss plays in.
Vikes would be in last place if Drew was their QB and Moss would be another wasted talent with potential

great- maybe if he made just 1 play to score from the red zone, maybe someone would take him seriously.

In another anrrogant move, Teflon Tom will draft a QB to battle JP to backup Drew.
In a draft day quote from TD- "After that rotator cuff heals, this QB will be the steal of the draft!. We couldn't pass him up even though those 3 pro-bowl quality OL somehow fell to our spot"
-
Donahoe compounded his first error in QB selection (RJ instead of Flutie) by the Bledsoe trade. The 8 great games in 2002 do not balance the mess since. The lack of perception by TD has directly put this franchise in trouble. Any boneheaded contributor on this board could have done as well.
All bad things can be traced back to Detroit's surprise decision to draft Joey harrington at #3, right before the Bills.
Teflon Tom had structured his entire re-buidling plan around drafting Joey H at #4, including the timeline of giving him a couple of years to mature.
when Detroit picked him at #3, TD panicked and grasped at what he thought was the least risky pick at that point- Fat Mike. The proper plan should have been to trade down, but no TD had not explored any serious trade talks because he was set on taking Joey H. The extra pick could have produced an interior OL. Drafting a run blocking RT at #4 who had never played LT was a huge mistake from the moment the card was handed in due to the huge cap hit for a RT. At least McKinney was a LT.
Things got worse when TD worked out plan B to get Drew to replace the lost Joey H. Too bad that the the pass protection that Drew desperately needs would never be coming from Fat Mike. Mike Pearson shoould have been the pick to play LT in the 2nd round- instead of Josh Reed.
Redoing Drew's contract for more money was complete arrogance when combined with the acquisition of Losman for 3 draft picks. Worse is that TD did not use the deferred cap savings to bring in any quality OL to protect Drew and fuel the running game.
Teflon Tom - too many arrogant moves- not enough production
-
why would Parcell's want a turnover machine that can't score from the red zone?
-
17 is the number of future games it will take before Drew is fiinally retired as our QB.

"An unbelievable poor call," said Bledsoe, who finished with a horrific 32.3 rating. "Ray Lewis just grabbed Lee Evans around the waist, basically tackled him. I saw him grab him, and I just figured I'd throw the ball to Lee, we'll get the call, and it'll be first-and-goal. Instead, they don't throw the flag, the ball gets tipped and it goes back the other direction."
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
I happen to agree with Drew here.....
Two weeks ago PP was called for having his arm around the WR, yet not turning him at all....
This week.....Look at the replay of that play and watch Lewis grab onto Evans back as he comes across the goaline.....One of the worst non-calls i have seen in a long while....
The week PP did it, people on here said it was a good call and an arm on a WR's back is called 99% of the time....What happen yesterday...In more blatant holding of the back wasnt called....I guess we are apart of that 1%
!@#$ THE REFS
Drew is wrong for throwing the pick.
throw it to someone who has a chance to catch it. If the refs are going to call the penalty, the Bills get defenseive holding and automatic 1st down.
but Drew destroys our chance for scoring by just flinging it up for grabs because he thought a penalty would be called.
He shojld be worried about scoring, not about what the refs might do.
Maybe if he looked off Evans since he knew he was out of the play due to the hold, he would have thrown for the TD. But Drew can't find secondary WRs because he never even looks
-
You have to actulyy run the football to score a rushing TD.
Gilbride has returned to call too many pass plays in the red zone. Drew has probably lowered his red zone rating of 50 from last year.
-
the ball went off their hands because DRew threw it too high for them to catch. Drew's throws were high and off the mark all day.
-
I'm not going to argue whether someone is "overrated" or not (see the Brady post). But a QBs stats have so much to do with the players around him and the offensive scheme. Through 5 games, Culpepper has 18 TD passes and 10 of them are under 5 yards. In fact, I think at least 5 or 6 are from one yard out.
Culpepper is a fantasy machine but as far as being a QB that can win you the Super Bowl, I think he turns it over a bit too much, both interceptions and fumbles.
you are right-
I'd rather have Drew Bledsoe any day of the week (except on Sundays).
-
playmaker??
He may get motivated for a play or two a game.
Bills should have drafted Vince Wilfork to consistently push the pocket and wreak havoc for more than a few plays.
Contrary to Fat Sam's self serving statements in the of-season about his dedication to the game, he still is way overweight and too fat and slow to consistently be productive.
-
a trade for McCardell would give the Bills leverage over Moulds next year to significantly cut his salary or be released.
-
if the Bills can't run, they will lose.
Drew will be sacked at least 5 times

From everyone's favorite source-
A little insight into the thinking of our front office (and why Tom Modrak still has no GM gig)
EAGLES SOAR FIVE YEARS AFTER NEAR MISS
As the Philadelphia Eagles prepare for a rematch of the 2003 NFC title game -- a rematch that Philly is highly likely to win in a decisive rout -- there's no doubt that the Eagles are on their way to success this season, and likely to a fourth straight appearance in their conference's championship match.
But with another supposed NFC contender, the Saints, reeling under the weight of four seasons of unfulfilled expectations, we wonder whether the Eagles would be sitting so pretty right now if they'd made a different decision regarding their current head coach.
Rewind to 1999. After Ray Rhodes was fired after a dismal 3-13 showing, owner Jeffrey Lurie, president Joe Banner, and director of football operations Tom Modrak set about to find a new coach -- the right coach -- to lead the team into an era of consistent success, not just sporadic playoff appearances.
In the end, Modrak wanted to give the job to Jim Haslett, a friend of Modrak's from their days in Pittsburgh and, at the time, the Steelers defensive coordinator.
But Lurie and Banner decided to go in another direction, tapping a relatively unknown quarterbacks coach from Green Bay to be promoted into the top job without the perfunctory stint as a coordinator.
Haslett eventually got his gig, in New Orleans. Haslett became an instant star with the Saints, leading the franchise to its first postseason win ever in his rookie season. Since then, however, the Saints have underachieved on Haslett's watch, and the clouds are now gathering thick, dark, and angry over Haslett's head.
So did the Eagles make the right decision? Hell, yes. As Banner told ESPN the Magazine in September 2002, "Frankly, we were surprised we weren't competing with several other teams for Andy. We're still quite proud about not being struck by the same kinds of blind spots as everyone else. And as far as great moments or difference-makers in team history, the hiring of Andy Reid forever changed this franchise."
From Modrak's perspective, the decision to hire Reid really was a mistake, since it eventually allowed Banner and Lurie to bounce Modrak out of his job, handing control over the football operations to Reid. And Reid is one of the few (only?) head coaches who successfully can juggle personnel responsibilities with his day-to-day X-and-O duties.
As a result, our guess is that Reid will still be winning games as the head coach in Philly long after Jim Haslett leaves his current job. And the next one. And the next.
Here's a question for you

they might actually use plays where the WR's run more than 5 yard button hooks short of the first down marker.
Bledsoe has no confidence to throw farther downfield than that
