Possibly. JP did not play well today against a defense that the pundits said typically confuses young QBs. I suspect that playing on the road in Foxboro may present a similar challenge to him. Hopefully by then he'll have progressed to the point where he won't telegraph his throws so much, because if he hasn't the Patsies and their infamous "genius" HC will design a defense that eats him up. It'll be a challenge for him regardless. Go Balls!

I forgot...the fact that you post five times a day gives you the right to write sentences that express meanings completely different from what you now say you actually intended. Clearly it's my "reading comprehension" at fault.

Clearly it means the Balls' braintrusts are morons and that retaining Willis was a piss-poor choice. After all, all difficult personnel decisions SHOULD be based on knee-jerk reactions. Willis has absolutely no upside whatsoever and will NEVER learn how to pick up blitzes better.

C'mon ajzepp. Any objective fan who knows anything about professional football can tell you the following points are clear facts. (Remember, they are based on the conclusive evidence provided by one performance on the road against what appears to be a good all-around team). - JP sucks - Willis sucks - Our O-line sucks - Our receivers suck - Our DL sucks - Our secondary is barely adequate - Our coaching staff has the imagination of a fence-post These are all moot points. If you can't see this for yourself get the heck off this board. The Balls are DOOOOOOOOMED.

Since 1st week results mean pretty much nothing, I'll take a wild stab at this one... Road game...tough enviro...Balls lose a close one. Yuks 13 Balls 10

"wouldn't be if the Bills were more experienced" ???? please explain. how much more experienced do you want them to be? we may not win, but i doubt lack of experience on D is going to be the problem.

He can't do anything except catch touchdowns.

Where is the Bills bar in SF? I have the Ticket at home for the games but wouldn't mind occasionally seeing a friendly face during a game.

I typically use "NeoCon" improperly just to read the indignant responses of those who like to wax pedantic about the misuse of the term. Gives me a good chuckle after a long day's work. Politics is great

Remember, it's far easier to concoct a simple explanation, even if it's wrong, than to think through the potential complexities of any situation. America loves their scapegoats. Fits right in to the "black and white" ideology so near and dear to the media and your favorite neighborhood NeoCon.

I'm in. I prefer PokerRoom but have a PartyPoker account as well.

So anybody who disagrees with our boys being sent overseas is a bitter Kerry supporter? You must have blinders on. Oh, wait...that's pretty typical for the typical US resident.

TiVO cut out in middle of 4th set tiebreak. I'd pay for shipping, materials, and for your time.

Yep. Just like FoxNews.

I own a GameCube and an Xbox. The GC is well worth the price, especially if you're into the Nintendo-only games like Zelda and RE4 (VERY VERY impressive!). Some of the cross-platform titles, e.g. Prince of Persia Warrior Within, perform much better on the GameCube than the Xbox, while others take a slight graphics hit as the GC doesn't have the horsepower of the Xbox. The sports titles I've played (Sega/ESPN, not Madden) don't look quite as good as on the Xbox, but the drop in performance is barely noticable unless you have the two running side by side. I'd say pump in the $89 and get the GC.

Hmmm...it took 8 posts on a non-Buffalo related threat for somebody to start spouting off about DB. Why the long delay? I expected a non-sequitor response within a single post at MOST.

This is one of the most insipid questions ever, as I've never seen a dog that can't swim instinctively, and I've never heard of a dog drowning. Having said that, I still go with the dog. Hey, maybe it needs some extra flotation.

And in what alternate dimension would someone question the play of Spikes this year? Oh, I forgot that on this board just about anything is possible.

In regular season action he showed the lovely prediliction toward throwing the ball on a rope while scrambling...to players with Patsies jerseys on . JP's talented, as his 2004 preseason showed. Projecting his regular season performance in 2005 is difficult at best right now. If we start him at the 2005 or he earns the job later in the season, I believe he'll be capable but will make the occasional bonehead young QB mistake. Projecting a record is tough...as a relative optimist I'll say 9-7. He'll make just enough bonehead mistakes to make many games tight down the stretch...and we all know how our D plays in tight games.

How many times are you planning to post this same drivel in different threads?

And, of course, nobody can argue with you, since because of the system we won't SEE USC-Auburn. Talk is cheap. Even good teams have the occasional meltdown, and these were kids playing in a high-pressure, high-exposure game. Once the turnovers started to snowball, it was all downhill. This doesn't mean OU sucks. Oh, I forgot...the rest of the season is rendered irrelevant, and has to be considered a collosal failure due to one blowout loss on a bad day to arguably the best team in football. And Jason White is a choker and a mediocre quarterback who can't win a game to save his life. Now what does that remind me of?

Typical post. It's no wonder pundits in this country make so much money for spouting drivel. People actually listen to it. The whole argument of "so and so is better than my left nut" is TOTALLY IRRELEVANT. What matters is what happens on the field when two teams play. If the teams don't play, you know absolutely nothing. No matter how much you yap about it and how many times you keep repeating the same argument. Cal played USC tough in their backyard, losing 23-17 in a game that went down to the last play. Cal's only loss was therefore to the team that just beat the Big 12 champion 55-19 and won the national championship. The same team that just lost 55-19 shut out your precious Longhorns this year, 12-0 IN THEIR OWN BACKYARD! I'm not saying Texas sucks...nor am I saying Cal would beat Texas by the virtue of the transitive property...or that Utah would beat Texas. I'm saying that you can yap all you want about who's better than who...so-and-so played a "weak" schedule...yadda yadda yadda. The bottom line is that it should be settled on the field. Until it is, all arguments are like yours...a bunch of hot air.

Point conceded. It's not "always" a team win or loss. If you'll read my original post again, you'll notice I wrote "rarely". It certainly is possible for a bad game by the QB to result in a loss. I disagree only with those who blame EVERY loss by the Bills on Drew and Drew alone. Shouldn't their axe be ground to metal dust by now? Sheesh.

Apparently a Duke basketball player broke his foot and is out 6-8 weeks...this apparently was the same guy who went to a UNC frat party, got drunk, passed out, and was teabagged by various UNC students who recognized that he was a Dookie. Romey said "if you don't know what teabagging is, I'm not going to tell you." Hence my comment about the signature in the original post.

You fail to note that rarely do teams that change quarterbacks leave the playbook completely intact. Many changes are made to take advantages of the strengths of the new guy and minimize his weaknesses. Often there are many simplifications made so that the whole offense doesn't have to think as much. Thus, the change at QB resulting in success and changing a team's season often involves MUCH more than just a new guy behind the center.
