If you think the Bills lost because of JP then you didn't watch the game. It's a team game, if you forgot.

Seriously, did you really expect to win with JP this year if you knew that ANY of the following would happen?: 1. The Defense played average at best. 2. The Defense could not stop the run. What 200 yards two weeks in a row? 3. The Defense STILL can't stop the 3rd and long. 4. The "Offensive" Line can't pass block for more than two and half seconds. 5. Either the WRs cannot get separation (either due to the player or play design). JP is a rookie. And we cannot expect a Rookie to win the game and play from behind all the time. JP is no different than any other rookie, he can only play as well as those around him. He CAN'T carry the friggin team. Neither Manning, Palmer, Farve or any other rookie has EVER done that (ok, maybe Marino). JP will get better when the TEAM gets better. Don't expect any different from Holcumb or any other QB.

"LONG Development?" Three friggin games?

I like the play calling (3) so far.

No. He's hurt. Almost anyone would have been hurt on that play.

Give it up. You're flat out wrong.

Not that I don't mind spending $50 while standing in a bar for three hours.

I wouldn't. Cadillac is a beast, but a rookie. He's got the talent to sustain his start but it's unlikely, esp. not enough to exceed Palmer and Jones over the long run. I really like Palmer, I think he's got potential to be a top QB this year while Jones is a solid, if unspectacular back. Unless Tampa can play from ahead most of the time his carries will certainly drop off; and most rookies tend to wear down during the year and production becomes much more unpredictable.

"Facts" after two whole games? One of which was a win? How soon people nervously smash the panic button.

We need a few dozen more "talentless hacks" to get our kids interested in science. Nye is an assest, there's no reason to bash him.

Yes. Thanks. I didn't think I discovered a new theorem or something complicated.

I'll take a "hammied" Vick over Schaub. Dunn has played well with 171 yards on 37 carries (4.6) but Vick is close behind with 111 on 19 carries (5.8). Given Vick's injury history, I hope he's a much slower healer than Fletcher. But heals enough to play.

I signed. Good job.

I'll take the win no matter what. The media and other fans opinion has no impact on Bills ability to win or lose the next game. The only matters is the win or the loss. Not sure why fans get so bent out of shape about "respect" for the Bills. It has no impact except to motivate the Bills players. God knows there are plenty of fans eating crow this week after going apolpletic when experts predicted a Tampa win. Of course, the other scenario is losing to a Vick-less Falcons, which we won't speak of.

I watch the game in a bar but I often thought: "where is Shelton?" I simply didn't see him in the game very much. Please tell me if I'm wrong but I thought the problem was Shelton WASN'T in the game enough.

Synder. He's driven that franchise into the ground, not that I mind. But the guy is insufferable even though the team has stunk up the league since his takeover. Win something first, Dan, then you can be a complete dick. On the other hand, that's not to say I like Jones, but I respect him. For all our distaste for the guy he IS a winner. Not that I don't enjoy his obvious pain when Dallas loses. BTW, he IS very funny in that new cell phone commercial. You gotta like that.

How do you know JP will get hurt week 4? Guess JP won't make the Pro-Bowl with lost games.

If posts make you smarter, then what happened to you?

If they do, I'm turning it off and going to bed.

Can't judge a player after 70 passing attempts and one NFL start.

I'd rather have an 85% Vick than a 100% Schaub. Schaub is pretty good and may be a better QB than Vick. Also, you know what you get with Vick while Schaub is a big question mark.

There is "intelligent conversationists" who bring thoughtful insight to their concerns and then there are "one note wonders" who sound like a psychotically-miserable eyeore.

Why do you even come here?

We'll see. I'm not a knee-jerk Fish basher, I did see the game and while they did not play disasterously that was kind of the point. Better than last year, but I've yet to see how they are good enough to win many games. Though I won't be surprise if Miami's first game occupies 55 minutes of a 60 minute 2005-2006 Dolphin highlight reel. I will agree you can add Baltimore and Houston (though PGH is awfully good).

Not discouraging in the least. Bad teams turnover the ball and have penalty problems. Those things are talent indicators (see Pats). I just think the Bills had the wrong gameplan and attitude -- the play not to lose strategy caught up to them mid-3Q. After the Bills got their first possessionl in the 3rd at mid-field they should have opened it up but they played like they were ahead by two TDs. To me, that was the turning point of the game (especially after Moorman booted the ball into the EZ ) 80-yard drive ensues . . . Plus, we should also credit TB for playing a GREAT game. You can change game plans but that doesn't do a whole lot to eliminate turnovers and penalties.
