Realist

I'm not a Bledsoe apologist or hater, at this time I'm up in the air about the QB situation, I need to seperate myself from Sunday's game a little more before I really get into it. However here is a good article that states a case for Bledsoe. Its on the front page of TBD from Bob Dicesare of the Buffalo News. Sorry if its been posted before. Now go ahead and beat each others' brains in some more.

That's true. Before every game this year, the talk of the other team was stop the Bills running game or get up on them early and you put the game in Bledsoe's hands. There is no team that was worried about Drew this year when we played them.

Ralph loves the guy, he'll be back. And I don't see any reason why he shouldn't.

Sorry if this was posted but Tuesday Morning QB absolutely torches the Bills. It is a good read and doesn't single out any one player, but criticizes the entire team including coaches: TMQ Here's a sample of TMQ on NFL.com "Tis Better to Have Rushed and Lost Than Never to Have Rushed At All (Playoff-Bound Collapse Edition) Leading 17-16 at the end of the third quarter at home with Steelers' starters leaving to take comfortable seats, the seemingly playoff-bound Bills faced third-and-1 on the Pittsburgh 11, on a day when Willis McGahee averaged 4.4 yards per rush. Run up the middle? Instead pass, offensive interference against Buffalo. A third-down gain brings the ball back to the same point, but now it's fourth-and-1. Run up the middle? If you fail the opponent's third-string gentlemen are pinned deep in their own territory with the crowd roaring at experimental-scramjet decibels. Instead field-goal attempt, missed from 28. These two mincing fraidy-cat calls on third-and-1 and fourth-and-1 are promptly punished by the football gods with 10 lightning points for Pittsburgh. Now it's Steelers 26, Bills 17 early in the fourth quarter, with Pittsburgh practice-squad guys populating the field. Buffalo faces third-and-1 on the Steelers 48. Run up the middle? Instead attempted trick play, loss of yardage. On fourth-and-6 from midfield, Buffalo punts, even though the whole season is on the line and you're playing against third-stringers. Emboldened by this mincing fraidy-cat failure to seize the day, the Pittsburgh third-stringers staged their clock-killer drive, and the home team did not get the ball back until almost the two-minute warning. For everything else that went wrong for the Bills on Sunday, had Buffalo simply run up the middle on even one of three late-game short-yardage downs, the Bills would likely now be preparing for the playoffs. "

Its good to hear inside stuff like this, because you know we'll be given the same old stuff through the media.

I don't really have a comment on Warner vs. Bledsoe, but if you're looking for a character guy and a mentor, who better than Drew? If thats what you're looking for in a vet backup, Drew is your guy.

It sucks that we lost to scrubs, but, who knows it may help in the long run. 9-7 is a hell of a lot better than I thought we'd be when we looked terrible at 0-4. As much as everyone is ragging on him, MM and staff do deserve a lot of credit.

There is no way Wire can start on defense but I thought he was pretty good on Special teams.

Congrats! But tell me, how could he sleep in your arms the entire game? You didn't curse, yell, or scream at the TV? You didn't spike him into the ground after Nate's TD either, did you?

As I've always said, its a good thing we, on TBD, do not manage this team. We'd be in the gutter for all eternity. I also trust the staff to make the personnel decisions. I just hope that the QB position is an open competition come mini camps and Training Camp.

It also would have been nice if the Defense could have stopped them in the 4th quarter on that long drive. I think that missed FG really took the wind out of Buffalo's sails.

The reason for the season. Merry Christmas Everyone!

Posts in stupid threads don't count, just like wins against stevestojantty teams.

Sorry if someone beat me to it.

It was best that one died, it was starting to get ugly.

And I was I having so much fun! I was just about to post to it and I got an error. Oh well, back to the Bills suck thread.

Do you think we should petition the NFL to reschedule our game this week with the 49ers to a rematch with Jacksonville? I ask this because we all know that a win a against the lowly 49ers doesn't count for anything, but a win against one of the teams we are fighting for a playoff spot will count in the standings. Then again the Jaguars only have an 8-6 record so that wouldn't count either. Bring on the Eagles! Oh wait, they suck now without TO, so that wouldn't count either. We have the Steelers next week, but we know that won't count because if they beat the Ravens they'll be playing for nothing next week, so they'll rest their starters. The Pats, that's it bring on the Pats! Damn, they just lost to the dolphins so that game won't count anymore... Face it we're screwed because none of our wins count... sarcasm off Sorry just venting...can only beat the teams on our schedule. Yes, this is a LAMP post...

I don't know if I'd want him for 10 years. There's something about him I don't like. I know everyone's on his bandwagon but I just don't care for those kind of QB's that run more than pass.

How many QB's hit every receiver in stride every time? That's what makes a good receiver, one that can adjust to a ball not thrown in the numbers every time.

Just glad the players and coaches don't think like that.

What do you care what the Bills do anyway? I still can't figure that out.

I think everyone here knows that the Bills don't have a great shot at the playoffs, But isn't it at least great to have any hope at all with only 2 games left in the regular season? Would you rather the team be 5-9 now, so you don't have to get your hopes up?

Were you juggling them at the time? Because you have to be quick, that hair burns quick and can catch your hands when you're not ready.

They should make "Drops" part of a Wide Receiver's stats. That way they come into negotiations and say 'Look what I've done for this team the past 3 years!' and GM counters, 'Yeah, you dropped 15 easy catches last year, 5 would've been TD's. How much did you say you wanted?'

They all beat us before we started playing well. And I don't recall the Jaguars or Jets actually "Kicking our asses."
