Bolder is a huge disappointment. If you remember, before he was drafted, his agent set up a camera of him knelling at the 50 yd line and throwing the ball thru the uprights. Well, good for the Ravens drafting a guy. Too bad this game has nothing to do with knelling with no defense in your face and throwing the ball through a huge target like the field goal posts.
Boller has arm strength but is a scrub. Every year he gets worse and worse. He has little to no confidence. His arm strength is there, but his decision making and accuracy are horrible. The Ravens are very similar to the Bills. We both have QBs that don't need to win the game for us. They need to not mess up. It seems JP is doing much better than Boller is. Boller threw an INT on his first pass of the preseason. You would think that would have been on Boller's mind and he would try to do better this past week. Who works hard during the offseason to throw an INT on their first pass? This pass week he sucked! 2 INTS! I know its the preseason, but to think Boller is better than Losman is riidiculous. Experience is not a factor. Boller is proven garbage and Losman hasn't proved anything. SO far he's doing what the Bills need him to do. I only wish he would slide more and not try to be Jerome Bettis out there.
I agree with this - obviously, most of you saw how ridiculous the prognosticators are being this year. A NewEngland Lovefest and A "Must hate the rookie" diatribe.
Finally, we are getting close to real games where the "experts" will shut up and history will be the judge. Of course, my complaint is, why prognosticate at all if all one does is predict a continuance of the past (in my field, meteorology, this is called "persistence".) Pick New England until they ose? THAT is NOT a prediction. Especially when worded that way,
As to JP -I, too, have seen what I have wanted to see (no glassy-eyed expectations o.k.?). And that is - a gradual improvement in his play and an indication that he is learning from his mistakes. I agree that he needs to slide more. I think that will come - hopefully not too late! Last Sunday, JP, Mularkey, Wyche and some Green Bay players stated that thedefense was designed for maximum pass protection and that the QB scramble was freely given. JP took advantage of this. One would prefer he not run in preseason but we have to be realistic about this -JP's legs ARE part of the Bills offensive game plan. If a team is giving JP tons of room to run, he should take it.
But, yes, slide a bit ay kid huh?

Reponses to your comments:
1. While I agree with your statement, Lee did average better than 20 yards a kickoff laster year with Dallas which shows he can be counted on a RS and allow McGee to concentrate of CB.
2. He might stick around but he gets beat up on this baord for a reason.
3. Haddad sticks around until Parrish returns then he gets cut.
4. Leohard will be counted on to primary return punts and cover kicks where size doesn't matter.
Aaaaagh! There is NO WAY McGee is replaced as our kickoff returner!!!!
This is the greatest "it ain't broken so don't fix it" situation of all time on the Bills. Using your logic, why has clements continued to be our punt returner?
Answer - he's been great.
Thus, Terrence is the main KO returner for the Bills in 2005. Bank on it.

I will pm you

Boller is in the perfect situation and needs to perform this year. He has a good D, a good in Lewis, a good te in Heap (if healthy) and some decent wideouts. They dafted Clayton and picked up Mason. If he stuggles this year he has no excuse.
I think Buffalo's team is similar in many ways -except the te position. But to say that Boller is better than JP at this point is crazy. The jury is still out on both of em.
No BC - Boller is better - haven't you been reading all the "experts" predictions?
Jeesh
Boller is "experienced" = better.
This reminds me of a friend trying to get Bill Cosby to smoke pot. "Bill, cmon try it! It will bring out the real you".
"yeh" Bill replied, "But what if the real you is an !@#$?"
Boller MUST be better since he has experience and JP doesn't. Get it?

Hammer's Lot - 9/11/05 - CNJBBB wings - Be There!
who's ready to eat hot wings at 8 am?

Sure they do. And why? Because the Bills have "A huge question mark with JP Losman at QB"
I see. And the Ravens have the experienced Kyle Boller.
Hmmmm, it is really looking obvious that Boller is better than JP right?

Ravens | Boller Struggles Against Eagles
Mon, 22 Aug 2005 11:09:56 -0700
Jamison Hensley, of the Baltimore Sun, reports Baltimore Ravens QB Kyle Boller was picked off twice, fumbled once and was sacked once in the Saturday, Aug. 20, preseason game against the Philadelphia Eagles
***************************************************************
I think I will take JP right now. Thanks
BTW: I love the "prediction" on the TBD front page: Pick New England UNTIL THEY LOSE. Wow! Can I bet at THAT casino?
-
I see Williams making the team and Gates on the Practice Squad. My guess is that Lee makes it and Burns is released. April wil fight this though - he loves Burns on ST.
At WR - I think Wilson go PS but the question is Reed or Haddad? Does anyone think BOTH will make it?
At DE it is still too close to call (Gause or Ritzmann).

Right, MadCap!
your suggestion has led to this change this year:There WILL be a donation box (decorated by the CNJBBB "artist" Kaz) to help offset wing expenses for those who wish to do so. checks are fine (and safer! make them out to Rich Gudgel)
We also will accept donations of canola oil and frank's hot sauce

-- Bledsoe Holding the Ball too Long --
Thu Aug 18, 2005 --from FFMastermind.com
#
The San Antonio Express-News reports Dallas Cowboys HC Bill Parcells believes QB Drew Bledsoe, who has been sacked 402 times during his NFL career, holds the ball too long. Bledsoe was sacked twice and knocked down at least three other times in the 13-11 loss to Arizona on Saturday in the preseason opener. He said afterward the play of the Cardinals' secondary often forced him to keep the ball longer than he would have preferred. "A couple of times, I was able to get to my No. 4 progression, and I didn't have anybody open," said Bledsoe, who completed 4 of 8 passes for 27 yards. He also fumbled and nearly threw an interception. Parcells said it would be wrong to assume that Bledsoe is an easy target because of a lack of athletic skill. "People have this misconception of him not being able to run and move around," Parcells said. "He's actually a pretty fast runner. If you time him in the 40, he's not going to run it in 5 seconds flat. He's going to run much better than that." While Bledsoe's tendency to hold onto the ball too long worries Parcells, it's a trait that has won the No. 1 pick of the 1993 draft the admiration of his teammates.

A bag? Huh?
As to reading about a "calmer" version - no my dear, then they wouldn't be Buffalo wings.
But, there is no law against wiping off the sauce. it's a crime though.....sniff
-
Ahh too bad I ddin't know - I leave for WNY tomorrow around 1 pm - I would have been happy to have sold (or at worst given them away)
I doubt it is worth fedexing 'em to me to arrive by Noon tomorrow at "Bills Central"
Hammer also would have at least taken off your hands and, if he sold them, have passed along most
of the proceeds! -
uhhh....actually, 28 strong.
You ready for some Hot Wings Cindy?
-
Preview is up. Look for something today on SportsCenter also.

fair article
I liked the part where they say "Last year, the Bills' defense dominated the offense in practice. Now the offense is holding its own."
I will be at the Ralph on Satuday
I am expecting to see JP move the offense better than last week and I expect fewer penaties.
The defense? It can't look any better except to maybe have the LB's do a better job of covering WR's and RB's out of the backfield.
Ritzman, last week, was unstoppable. I will be watching for #91 again.
Lastly, I would like to see one of the #3 WR's to stand out. Could be Haddad. Could be.
And, no, FEZ - in case you were wonderin'., I won't be cooking wings.
not THIS game. But the CNJBBB cooks are talking about timing the first batch today. Can you taste them huh huh?

CNJBBB Hot WIngs
Be There!

with what you listed, I'd grab the Bills D
-
yeh but didn't wgrz report the Bills had released Rob Johnson and kept Doug Flutie?
-
be careful with statistics - especially when handed out as one or 2 liners
see if you can track down more information which is very pertinent to the evaluation of these statistics
(trust me, this will be a bit of work!)
things to consider (my initial thought laundry list)
- how many attempts to each side?
- which teams for each percentage of carries AND the actual numbr of attempts each side for each opponent
- injuries - who was out for each particular game
- long vs short runs - what was the MEDIAN run from each side? (This asks the question: Did Willis happen to get a FEW long runs left while attempting more runs to the right thus making the left look like he consistently achieved better results?)

Is it a live draft? When is your draft?

This post, everyone, is somewhat "sight unseen" but I caught part of a pretty long discussion on the 2005 Bills on NFL Playbook last night. I tivoed it to watch in its entirety when I get home tonight. It might be replayed sometime again which is why I am sending this out - look for it folks.
For those that watched the scrimmage, an expression that Sterling Sharpe kept using (which I really enjoyed) was how the Bills were "running downhill" to make their tackles. Sharpe stated in the show that it was TKO who told Sharpe to say that when talking about the Bills defense. TKO explained to Sharpe that the Bills were so fast and coordinated in their defensive attack that it was just like they "were running downhill while their opponents were on a flat surface". The group of four analysts broke down the Bills defense and how they coordinated their attacks to make it very difficult for offenses to get their receivers open before they were mauled by the Bills front line or blitzers. They said no other team defense can do this. They raved about Gray too. Moving onto the offense, they actually were split on JP (at first) but then they all agreed he would "do fine and get better with time". Sharpe commented on how JP needed to avoid the mental vs physical mistakes. He noted how JP made the expected physical mistakes (low throws and running when he should have stopped and thrown the ball) -Sharpe said JP would gradullay reduce these type of mistakes as he matured and grew more comfortable. The mental mistakes, he said, are the focus of the Bills coaching staff. Sharpe commented JP made those too in the scrimmage and he was certain the staff would drill it into JP to teach him to read the defenses, react under pressure in a "safe" manuever rather than throwing blindly where INTS are likely. They all were very impressed with Parrish too.
There was more but the discussion was lively to say the least. This discussion got me more pumped than I have been at any point this offseason. (Just to give you some idea as to how good it was
)-RichNJoisy

Oh.
I like Reed but he has been a disappointment. He practices well but drops passes in real games or doesn't get open. Still, I will be comfortable with him getting one more year to step up his game on the field.
But, if a trade is worked out for Simon involving Reed, I am fine with that as well.
I think he's better than the Philly WR's except for the TO - The Total O-hole
-
down on Moulds? Have I missed something? I wouldn't trade Moulds to the Eagles at any price.
Help! Need one more owner
