Toledo Bill

When he takes us down the field on a game winning drive, I think his confidence and the teams confidence in him will soar. I think his performance will take-off from there. Top 15, I don't know... but I think he's progressing nicely.

I don't know... if the Rusty Jones decision was Mularkey's, it does not give me much faith in any input he might have had.

That remains the key. The control freak was afraid of hiring a strong coach. Bottom line... poor coaching hires due to ego led to a fractured, underachieving team. Yes he had some good draft picks, but any praise for him should stop there. He was UNSUCCESSFUL in his role as the Bills president.

I am very impressed with the cohesive atmosphere of this Bills team. They play together and don't seem concerned with who gets credit for the teams successes. I know that Meathead and Old Whitey contributed to a lot of the dissension last year.... but what a change a year makes. Nobody is complaining about playing time, catches, etc. They are playing team defense and supporting each other. It is hard to not like a team that plays together and has bought into a team concept. Kudos to Marv and Jauron for changing the culture that had been created over the past few years!

It's very frustrating knowing that he can't throw long yet moved the ball aginst us. I didn't even notice the defensive line trying to get their arms up. It seemed like our defense didn't know they were going to see only short passes. Very confusing.

Very little pressure... and that is being kind

All I meant was that he is more effective than most when he has time and that he is very efficient with a short game (also due to his not having a strong arm). I'll try to work on some more novel concepts and astute observations.

but if you give him time to throw he will kill you on short passes... we in no way put enough pressure on him today,

I was disappointed in a few of his plays and then upon further review... I remembered my commitment to be patient with him this year. We are not going to The Super Bowl this year, even with the excitement created by the Miami win. I am sure that many of the knowledgable fans realize that we will have some ups and downs with JP this year. Let's give him this year... enjoy the "ups", live through the "downs" and find out if he is an NFL quarterback. After all these years of the QB shuffle, I am ready, as a fan, to be patient with him.

I love his enthusiasm and leadership He has matured to the point where he is no longer taking stupid penalties. I would like to see us re-sign him although I think one way to exploit our defense is to focus on his pass coverage

With Lawyer Milloy... that would have been an automatic 2 points. He lost the ability to cover a pass years ago!

Poor Gumball... one demotion after another. I wonder who he'll be working with next year.

A rookie making a play like that... sweet! Lot's of promise with the play of our young players!

My disappointment regarding the shutout immediately turned into a sick feeling that we were headed towards exactly what you describe. That missed two- pointer finally brought relief.

when you are disappointed we didn't shut them out.

He has been "money"! How many of us (myself included) were demanding that he be replaced two years ago?

What about if the exact same thing had happened to the Bills... the press would still be laughing... but instead all we hear is poor Miami... what a joke.

I'm right there with you, Rico. Try a flashback of Dave Washington picking up Mercury Morris and body slamming him to the turf. One of the loudest , most bloodthirsty cheers I have ever heard at a Bills game... I HATE MIAMI!!!

I would be surprised if the majority of star players playing in Bowl games do not get this type of insurance.

I couldn't agree more that there was a discrepency in the way the penalties were called. I would believe, however, that this is an ongoing situation that never really changes. Teams that are on a roll for several years tend to get the benefit of the calls. One reason is that they are generally playing better than their opponents... but also due to the officials giving the proven, "better" team more breaks. I would wager that during the Bill's heyday that they received similar breaks, all the while having the weaker opponents complaining about the calls. It doesn't make it right, but I would not be surprised if this is the pattern.

I really question his value on the kick-off return team. I understand the concept of him being out there as a blocker but all he did yesterday was slow down returns. Was he part of the kick-return game last year? I didn't think he was and I sure don't think he contributed yesterday.

I think that with Jauron... we will see the A-Train next time there is a 4th and one.

The news won't stop discussing Saban's "flag incident". What about the very flagrant pass interference non-call against Miami in the second quarter. That non call led to a great punt return which led to Miami's first touchdown. I haven't heard that play mentioned once in all the great press coverage. That non-call was at least as significant as the "flag incident". Next time Saban... throw the flag like a man and you won't have a problem.

If his performances define an "excellent player'... I guess "no-brainer" appropriately applies here.
