Scraps

Its a pity our troops didn't just roll a couple of grenades in his rat hole when they caught him.

Points taken. Everything you say may well be true but that still doesn't exonerate the offensive line.

A kind of unofficial Sabres backers club has sprung up in the Washington DC area. We get together at Bailey's in Crystal City for some, but not all games. Specials have been 23 ounce Molsons for the price of a 14 ounce glass and half price wings. Tonight 2 tickets to the December 2nd Capitals Sabres game will be raffled off. Generally we have been in a back room with about 6 TVs and game sound. After tonight, the next games we will be at Bailey's will be November 13th vs the Canes and and November 18th vs the Senators.

In the offseason I was very criticial of the Moulds trade. I argued, and still believe, that the Bills receiving corps would be better with a big physical receiver who could use his size and strength to get passes. The Bills receivers were all of the same mold. Speedy guys but not physical. They simply do not have contrasting and complementary capabilities to play a more diverse game. I also thought that the only good thing that could come out of this season was learning whether or not JP could develop into a franchise QB. To find that out, the Bills should surround him with talent, giving him the best chance to develop. That doesn't seem to be happening. However I would argue that the Bills didn't totally lose out in this trade. They did draft Kyle Williams. He's on the light side but is doing pretty well for a 5th rounder.

Why? It was rigged? The obvious best choice was not included even though the Bills had 2 chances to get him.

Except Eko said he had nothing to feel sorry for or nothing needing forgiveness.

They're 4-3 and could have a wild card slot. What do you consider "not a good record"?

And how is this different than any of the previous 5 or so years? We've had plenty of late round OL draft picks that never amounted to anything.

This line is so bad they did not need to be dominant from day one to earn a starting job. I am so tired of the weak excuses people will cling to avoid addressing eyesore of an offensive line we've had for the past decade.

If Pennington, Merz and Preston were better than who we've been playing, don't you think we would have seen them by now?

Haven't we been trying to address the lines through free agency and later rounds and realize it doesn't work?

How do you figure that? The Bills have the 29th ranked offense and the 15th ranked defense. Sounds like the offense needs the most help.

If this were true I would have expected Donahoe to have picked Kenyatta Walker instead of trading down to pick Nate Clements. He would have picked Bryant McKinnie or Dwight Freeney instead of Mike Williams.

He hasn't been all that impressive in his previous stints. He seems to be a slave to a system instead of fitting the system to the players. Many people who were arguing with me before are now complaining that the coaches are not fitting the systems to the players. I'm am highly skeptical of a light weight defensive line. I think it will have a hard time stopping the run. The proof is in the pudding. Its up to Marv to make me eat crow.

I started judging him from day 1. I've been on record as saying that I'm not impressed with his choice of Head Coach, handling of free agency or the draft.

Well now that you've admitted to being a troll I'll get about the business of ignoring you.

I keep responding to the troll.

No because at least there is a chance of Losman improving. Kelly Holcomb is Kelly Holcomb. He's had 10 years in the league and amply demonstrated that he doesn't have the physical tools.

No it doesn't. I'm not pleased with the way Losman has been playing but he has the physical tools. Holcomb does not. Losman has not played as well as I might like but he has improved over last year. There are plenty of QBs who teams have given up on only to turn it around, a fact you routinely ignore in your anti-Losman jihad. I'm willing to wait until the end of the season. If I thought changing QBs might make the difference between making the play-offs or not, I might think differently but this team is a long way from that because it is weak in so many places, particularly the offensive and defensive lines. I'd rather go 2-14 with Losman, know that he doesn't have "IT", have a chance at a very high draft pick, and the ability to build for the future than finish 6-10 and have none of that.

What hope are you going to get out of Kelly Holcomb? Haven't you already seen him and realized he doesn't have any upside?

And switching QBs will magically improve our horrendous offensive line or improve our fly weight defensive lines ability to stop the run?

They tried, in preseason. Did you watch any of it?

All this shows is that QBs drafted high in the 1st round, while not guaranteed to be a success, are more likely to be successful than those taken later in the draft.

Holcomb doesn't have an arm. If Nall were good, the Packers wouldn't have let him go. Losman won the job in preseason. I'm willing to give him the entire year, as long as he is healthy. I'd rather know at the end of the season whether he is an NFL QB or if we need someone else. Winning a game or two more with another QB isn't going to do a damn bit of good to my ego. This team isn't going to the playoffs.

I think Losman is playing better this year than he did last year. He also beat Holcomb for the starting job in the preseason. If Holcomb were to produce the same results as last year, that will put the team at 6-10 or 7-9. What does that get you? A worse draft pick and a tougher time building a team.
