Why are you so confident that if we give him time he will become starter quality? Why is he so different from the majority of first round quarterbacks? Do you think Joey Harrington needs time?

Or he won't. When will people stop believing that every first rounder works out? Only a third of them in recent years turn out to be the answer, a sixth make it as journeymen (ala Holcomb quality), and half are busts? I'm hoping JP makes it, but we can't blind ourselves to the odds. We may get more of the same no matter how long he is the starter, and we have to have the ability to cut our losses and be ready to move on just in case. So - what would it take for us to decide he is not the answer and get a new qb to start over with? A full season as a 50% passer? Two? Three?

I already do. That's why I think having a dominant runningback is a suckers play. Same for a dominant corner. This ain't your grandpa's NFL. Three starter-quality WR's, none of them great, is your biggest bang for the buck. Same with the secondary.

You forgot a runningback who was horrible in every phase of the game.

Got to see Flutie?

Should we start a thread on what kind of pick we can get for WM?

That's why I was hoping for a home shutout. Preferably capped by a 50 yard Flutie bootleg.

... in the bad way, and have a top pick in the draft. Do we take Reggie Bush, or Matt Leinhart?

Actually, what's sickening to me is that kind of knee-jerk attitude, since it is precisely why this team is in this mess. Fools like this are first in line for TD's brand of cool-aid: Gotta support you team. Anybody who criticizes the management or coaching or players are bad fans. Or jerks.

Why?

Field goal from their 20, down 21-0 at the start of the 4th. 'Nuff said.

Fun fact: The patriots have three players, each of whom is individually outrushing the entire Buffalo Bills football team.

I think Belichek did it just to show us how the Pro's run that play.

My hunch is that Wilson has already made up his mind after the Moulds incident. I think he told Moulds he was on his side. But for the benefit of prospective coaches, if there's one thing RW cannot do it is to appear to override the head coach on a disciplinary manner. So that's why Moulds took his suspension, didn't appeal, and said RW has always been a class act. This game just gives Ralph reason to do it mid-season.

Wow, 54 yards receiving, with a 42 yarder - those are Lee type numbers! Of course, he's playing for a much better offense now.

*** IMPORTANT NEWS FLASH *** Meanwhile, Travis Henry has 19 yards in 8 attempts. Thats 5 times the yardage on the same number of runs.

Losman is our leader rusher with 7 yards

Tuesday, after Wilson talks with TD first. He's not a Schneider-type owner.

I don't care if it was 4 and 11, if you're on their 20 down 3 TD's at the start of the 4th Quarter, you go for it. What good would the FG have done us, other than spare TD the embarrassment of a home shutout? At this point I WANT a shutout.

He just keeps throwing to Evans pass after pass...

No doubt an irate fan broke into the coordinators box.

What's the early line on Wilson holding a press conference Tuesday to announce some departures?

Willis was never as great as people made him out to be. He is a legit starter, nothing more. He's not going to carry any team anywhere by himself. Barry Sanders couldn't do it, and WM is no Barry Sanders. And he doesn't suck. He's simply a legit starter toiling behing a poor line and without a decent passing attack. He's not nearly as good as he thinks he is, and has yet to take over a game and dominate it they way Cribbs or Thomas did, but he doesn't suck.

Good post!

There's a reason why down the stretch good teams hate to play teams that are out of it and with nothing to lose... but you won't see it with the Bills.
