I may be one of the only one's remaining in LA's Dinner pool. So I'll keep predicting what I did on that thread way back in April...a Bills win. Bills 23 Saints 17

Thats exactly how I felt during this game. Even though we were close, there was never a feeling that we could do it. The Bills did not deserve a victory at all and were not playing well enough to get you excited that they might get lucky.

3 games is hardly enough time to warrant calling Losman, RJ. You would have to be a fool to believe JP was going to light up the scoreboard immediately and not make many mistakes. These three games went exactly how I thought they would for the offense. The problem I have is the Defense is horrendous, I don't think many people had that in the equation. JP will continue to have these problems over the next several games. If the defense doesn't step up as they did in the Houston game, we will be 1-7 at the halfway mark. Worry about the defense not JP and TD. I listened to the game yesterday and I don't think I heard TD's name called once.

Falcons 27 Bills 13 Falcons defense is pretty good and will stymie the offense. I was very disappointed in our defense last week. They couldn't tackle anyone, Vick will get a couple of long gainers and Dunn will have a decent day.

Very sorry for your loss. We went through the same thing with our dog a couple of years ago. Its a very difficult time.

Buffalo always has a tough time in Tampa. Difficult time for JP and Willis, Bucs win 17-6.

Stopping the running game will be key. Once the Eagles did that, the Falcons couldn't do much.

I don't know how you can't be afraid of the Falcons. Their defense was flying yesterday. That defense will be a lot of trouble for our offense. Also, in the first half, I was very impressed with the Falcons OL. The holes Dunn had to run through were huge. Our biggest advantage in this game is that its at the Ralph.

I'm pretty sure that game is still scheduled for the 2nd. I read somewhere (don't remember where), there was something going on at the Alamodome that day, car show or something, and they agreed to move it to another site.

Rams fugged me!

No info, but I saw the same thing. I wonder if there's a chance we'll see him at some point today.

I really find that surprising that the national media are saying that, but we haven't heard anything like that from the local guys that are hanging out with the team all the time. You would think that Jerry Sullivan would jump all over that and B word about what kind of jerk TD brought in this time.

That's mine too.

As much as I like the idea of a 9th "Home" game, I don't care for the idea from a competitive standpoint. I'd be bitchin' up a storm if another division team got an extra home game.

Ouch!

The game is still 3 weeks out, I see no reason why they can't settle on San Antonio in the next few days. The Saints need someplace to call home. NO is trying to make the playoffs for the first time in years, it will be hard enough mentally after everything that has happened. At least give them some stability and decide on a home stadium ASAP. The game should be in San Antonio. All proceeds, if played in the other team's stadium, should not be given to the Relief Fund. The Saints have to generate some revenue. Some of it should go to the fund but not all.

23 - 13 Bills

Have to put him on Moulds. Make the second year man beat you.

Its normal to blitz a first time starter as often as possible. Luck for us, JP has been going up against a tough blitzing defense since he was named the starter.

To be honest that's exactly how I see our season going, too.

I haven't changed my driving habits, but I do work from home more often than not the last few weeks.

Thats how its going to pan out. I don't see Smith making the team this year. He hasn't done anything to stand out from the others. Wilson is probably going toend up on the Practice Squad.

Good Luck and stay safe!

I'd play McGahee only a series, as that's where most of our hope lies for this season. Losman and the OL the entire first qtr. The receivers only a coupel of series and see what JP does with them in. Then bring in the backups to see what they can do with the starting QB until the end of the 1st qtr. After that the WRs deal with Holcomb. Defense only the 1st qtr. Thats my thoughts, I know its not going to get the team in any kind of rhythm, but that doesn't really happen in a preseason game anyway.

Thats about the only way to do it. If I got rid of it in January I probably could have gotten what I need to pay off the loan plus a couple grand more. Now I'd just be happy to get enough to pay it off.
