Rusty? Rutabaga?

The ole' Catch 22...can't get hired for a job because I don't have experience, can't get experience if I don't get hired...

Player-coach?

Were it just Matthews and the guy from NFLEurope or another 'yute' as the backup QB's then I would expect JP to get every snap. I just think that having Holcomb on the roster gives the Bills another 'QB starter' option.

In the words of Dave Chapelle: "Come on man, he made Thriller."

I'm torn on that. On one hand JP could play every game for his development and he'll build on that and be a success, on the other JP could play every game for his development and still end up failing, representing wasted time for Buffalo when the defense and ST were doing pretty damn good. At what point do you sacrifice your prospects development for the success of the team?

In an alternate universe somewhere, people are waving those with pride...

A lot of us are cautious about the upcoming season, many projecting we are likely to miss the playoffs again, mainly due to the fact we will have a rookie in all but name at QB with Losman. But many have also correctly pointed out that winning is the name of the game, that TD is close to the 'put up or get canned' threshold of his GM tenure, and that quite frankly Bills fans are sick and tired of not playing in the postseason. With all that said, the signing of Holcomb represents an interesting dynamic. As woeful as the Browns have been since their return, the few seasons they have been successful was in large part due to the inspired play of Holcomb. The braintrust at OBD surely knows this as well so the question is: Just how short a leash does JP have for the upcoming season? Will he play all season come hell or highwater to aid his 'development', or if he comes out of the gate pretty poorly will he get yanked to see if Holcomb can turn the bus around? I think as much as OBD talk up the season hinging on the development of JP, they won't hesitate to make a switch if the defense and special teams are holding up their end and they think Holcomb can create a spark. Thus writing off next season might be a tad premature.

What's about as dumb as dumb can get is your assumption that I want TD to have a free pass. If I didn't think he has the Bills on the right track towards winning, I'd vote to have him shitcanned too. What was even dumber than that were the long knives coming out against TD just because he didn't deal Henry on draft day and calling him a liar, which is why I was defending him in the first place. The "Win Now" mentality fails to see the big picture and the way teams spend years positioning themselves to capitalize on a confluence of events (and let's face it, a good bit of luck) in achieving those winning seasons. Focusing on the small picture, which you seem to be doing, well that is about as dumb as dumb can get.

You have no idea. Even my issues have issues. I've asked the Lord for mercy on my soul many times, but every time I do it seems I hear laughter...

Well put.

Jim Carr: This white haired older gentleman has had a very trying general manager tenure, with the litigation, the notoriety, his subsequent deportation to Canada and that country's refusal to accept him, I guess that's more than most men can handle. Team President, Tom Donahoe.

Go for it. The majority of people in that theatre wouldn't know what people having sex looks like anyway...

Looks like TD coming off a bender... "Wait...wait...wait...I drafted who?"

That's just what I told you. She may be a PITA sometimes, but I sure don't want you giving her Herpes Simplex 7!

According to clump, Lindell would carry a cap hit of $1,312,500. A decent hit but doable... http://www.billszone.com/mtlog/archives/20...ry_cap_page.php

Whoa dude, let's not get crazy here...

I saw that and thought the Bills traded up to get him. Talk about a WTF moment...

Too busy banging Mrs. Mickey (if there is a Mrs. Mickey, being such a miserable old bastard probably means you live alone). Fug that, my kid is obviously smarter than you and knows it's all about defense, and will have a poster of Takeo on the wall.

"Part of" equals the Buffalo Donahoes? Sheesh, I forgot how stupid you pissin-n-moanin' nutcases can be. You are just the flip side of the rational person coin.

Gandalf: His treachery runs deeper than you know. By foul craft, Donahoe has crossed Orcs with goblin men. He's breeding an army in the caverns of Isengard. An army that can move in sunlight and cover a great distance at speed. Donahoe is coming for the Ring.

For those too lazy to click on the link- Interesting...

Oh look, another little suzy sunshine is heard from... Is Donahoe not part of the team?

Chris Taylor: Day by day I struggle to maintain not only my strength but also my sanity. It's all a blur. I have no energy to write. I don't know what's right or wrong anymore. The morale of the men is low, a civil war in the platoon. Half the men with Elias, half with Donahoe. There's a lot of suspicion and hate. I can't believe we're fighting each other, when we should be fighting them.

He's a Bill. I love him until he does me wrong. Hell I'd even let him fug my sister.
