IMHO I think the Bills haven't lost confidence in JP but in the O-line. They're working JP as a drop back passer to get him the experience. They know he can roll out and throw, they are trying to make him comfortable in staying in the pocket. I think they know this was going to be a rebuilding year and they need to to get the right people the experience for next year. Now if this is not the case and they have lost confidence in JP, they what the #$%@ are they waiting for? Put him on the pine!

For every JP sucks, or we need a QB change, of any other talk about the QB being the problem, just cut and paste this post in response. Nicely stated post!

His uniform.

Yeah it's called starter envy.

Whoa Indy's D must have really gotten good. Or maybe our O is just that bad.

Without making position changes (ie replacing JP with anyone) what should the coaches do to get the O on track? We have an offense filled with speed receivers, but can't go 4 wide because we have to max protect because our o-line sucks so bad. Even our TEs can't release and get open. We have a running game that hopes we never get into 3rd and one. And let's not even talk about penalies. So at the risk of sounding like I've played too much Madden I say... We still go 4 wide (even though that's all the WRs we have healthy right now) and spread the field. Place JP in the shot gun so he can save 1/2 second by not dropping back, and run draws, screens, and quick slants. That's the reason I'm not an coach. What's yours?

OK I'm changing my name to "Thread Killer"

Juron in response to why he went for it on forth and 27 from their OWN 1 yard line... "The defense was exhasted from running up and down the field all afternoon. We figured if we didn't convert, they would score on the next play and the defense would at least have the kick-off and another 3 and out to rest."

I just read this whole thread, and finally someone got to the point I was going to make. We may as well have Bledsoe back because the defensive ends know exactly where JP is going to be when he takes the snap. Also what ever happened to screens and draws?

At press time (the time at which I'm writting this) it was 80% yes 20% no. The 20% are all Bills fans.

Hey! You just discribed me and I'm Bills fan!

Did anyone see Holcomb giving JP congrads when he was forced to throw a the ball away because of pressure? Kudos to Holcomb for being a team player! Also I loved that WR screen or whatever you call it pass play to Parish even though the TD didn't count. It's a play I've seen used against us many times, but can't remember us ever running it, at least not like that.

I'll give one to Denny!

In school we had an arch rival school, that no matter how the rest of the season went we had to beat them. Even if they were dead last and sucked really bad. Miami has been and always will be that arch rival team. If they were 0-15, and was that last game on the schedule, with our playoff spot already settled, I would still want to crush them!

JP could throw for 6000 yards, and 50 TD, with 0 ints, and the media still wouldn't give him his props. But if TO gets jock itch its headline news. (Side Note: I despise Dallas, almost as much as the doll-pins.) Right now the media has preconceived notions of JP. It's going to take a good season this year to get any love for next year.

"I've got you where I want you, now I'm going to eat you." Old booger joke.

I totally agree! I'm so tired of not even seeing a DB on my TV screen before the snap. If I was playing us I'd be running quick slants all day long. Of coarse that was last year. Here's hoping that this year will be different.

New England 27 Buffalo 24 Time runs out as Bills drive for tying field goal Buffalo 17 Miami 10 Culpepper throws 3 picks and Bills score on punt return. Buffalo 24 Jets 13 Bills on cruise control in this game. Buffalo 21 Minn 17 Andre Davis catches 50+ TD pass in 4th qtr. Buffalo 9 Chicago 3 Our offense sucks in this game but at least we have one. Detroit 24 Buffalo 10 D takes the day off. Buffalo 31 New England 28 JP throws for 300+ yrds and 4 TDs (Someone turned the AC on in hell) Green Bay 17 Buffalo 13 Let the roller coaster ride continues. Indy 34 Buffalo 21 D-Line can't get to Manning. Buffalo 19 Houston 10 Eric Moulds held to 2 catches for 9 yrds. Buffalo 27 Jacksonville 24 Willis Willis Willis nuff said San Diego 22 Buffalo 17 LT LT LT nuff said Jets 24 Buffalo 18 Ouch this hurts Buffalo 31 Miami 13 Team takes out their anger of last week’s loss on Dolphins (Bring out the broom) Buffalo 28 Tenn. 10 Tenn. shooting for top 5 pick in the draft. Buffalo 17 Baltimore 14 Tough game... but what the heck this is more optimism then I've had all year. 10-6 Lose to Steelers in WC game.

I'll watch a Bills game over anything, a Sabres game is the only hockey I'll watch, then the rest of the NFL. In that order. Baseball, and NBA... well let's just say I'll turn on the Lifetime channel first.

Whoa...Your season is going to suck. The Bills are going to struggle at times for sure, but you have to back a QB you don't even like. Every completed pass is going to be bittersweet for you.

OK let's. His urine test came back infected with strength enhancing nanite probes, he left town because he found a horse head in his bed, he was abducted by aliens, he was voted off the team, and he just won a spot on the next American Idol. Oh yeah and he got upset because someone on this board said he wouldn't sacrifice his body to make a play. OK everything but the very last part is true.

NFLNetwork.com says Tuesday at 12:00 pm. Tivo says it's someone else. I'm recording it either way in hopes that it is the Bills game.

That can be said about every play that doesn't work. Hindsight IS 20/20.

No No! We are grooming our depth this year, and next year we'll begin looking for starters. I still feel like by mid-season this team will be scary. (In a good way)

I was at the Carolina game. I sat way up high and could see the whole field. Our receivers were not getting open consistantly. That was last year's problem also.
