Admitting your mistakes is the first step on the road to recovery.

After that I doubt we will win any other games. I predict a 4 and 12 season at this point.

It may be self preservation to watch this team from afar and not get to involved emotionally. Because this team is going nowhere this year. They may get better by the end of the year, but no playoffs. We are looking forward to next year already. Thats pretty sad, so how can you buy in emotionally when it looks so bleak?

A QB that is mobile and can run around would buy a few more seconds and hopefully a WR comes free. Being able to throw on the run would be helpful. Drew threw alot of dirtballs and high and behind the WR. There is plently of blame to go around but I have always prefered a mobile QB to a pure pocket passer aka: A Statue

I'm on the wagon to start Losman just to see some interesting football again. Bledsoe needs to ride into the sunset and permantely stay in Montana.

Good points. It really would be great to put in Losman right now. When is he ready? Because this team is unwatchable right now. Start McGahee and spell him off with Travis. And for God's sake, let Willis run at the goal line scenerio's.

Oakland must be a kinder place. When the Raiders were at the Colisum in LA you would have been beaten or stabbed if not both.

I really like Volek as well. It's too bad that deal didn't pan out instead. We would be years ahead of where we are now. Not getting Dominic Raiola in the draft a few years ago hurt as well. We missed him by 2 picks. I really hope TD would have taken him in the previous round.

Good post. I agree with most of your idea's.

least been converted to FG's if not TD's. The difference in the game points wise. This game was winnable again, despite the anemic offense.

Travis did have a sucky game today. Special teams really blew this game more than Travis. Those penalties nullified for sure points on the board. At least two field goals if not TD's.

football. Jacksonville has a playoff caliber if not Super Bowl caliber D-Line. J-Ville stuffed their opponent today worse than the Bills. Today the O-Line faced Wareen Sap and Big Ted on the D-Line at the same time. No wonder they got B word slapped. When this teams faces a weake3r D-LIne we will see a magical improvement. But having seen this O-Line face playoff teams, we are not ready. This O-Line needs to improve before anything else improves. I'm disappointed that TD has not really improved the O-Line since coming to Buffalo. MW is a disappointment. This entire O-Line are playing like girlie men.

I'm on board. I dont think we can really gauge how things are going until after week 10

I have a rule to never wager on Bills games. It takes the fun out of it.

Most cool ICE. Did you ask TD if he has a registered name on TBD? If so, what is it?

My check went out Monday. Not sure how days to arrive. Thanks Scott, I hope it helps !

Bad idea. Very Bad.

Yes very good post ! It wasn't like we got blown out either. It was a game we should have won. The team played very well for the most part. Lot's of reason's to be optomistic about the rest of the season.

You took the words out of my mouth.

I really hate that pass interference penalties get spotted at the spot of the foul. For 50 yard penalties and worse. They should be 15 yards from the original line of scrimmage.

I noticed your Rollie Fingers avatar. I used to work with Rollie for years at a company in Carlsbad, Ca., Hell of a nice guy to be around. He was/is a consumate professional.

Correcto mundo. That is why Drew didn't throw to him. it would have been a pick if he did.

Tasker is usually pretty good as an announcer, but sometimes he goes to far in trying seem like not being a homer. Especially on that pass play to Moulds for the 1st down. It looked good to me but Tasker droned on to the opposite view point. He needs to relax a bit with the anti-homer strategy. It's OK to homer now and then, he is the hometown announcer.

There were many good things in yestersday game 1) Defense was stout for 58 minutes. 2) Drew getting rid of the ball quicker. Looked better than last year. 3) Good coaching decisions, most of the game. There were two plays that were maybe ill advised. The Drew sack when in the red zone and punting instead of going for the field goal. That qualifies as playing not to lose instead of playing to win. I would have kicked the field goal because the defense was playing well. 4) The OL played better than expected. There were too many breakdowns but generally better than I expected. 5) It's game #1, I think this game will show the players what is needed to take the next step to win a game. 6) Solid special teams coverage on kickoff's and punts. All in all, this team is better than last year. Bad things observed. 1) Way to many dropies and TO's in this game. We got lucky on a few plays other wise there would have been even more TO's 2) Penalties are still an issue. This team has got to stop taking stupid penalties. Villareal and Fletcher's penalty were especially bad. 3) The play calling needs to be a little more creative. A few misdirection plays would be nice. But that may not be called because of how weak to average the OL is. 4) I would like to see this OL keep some people out of the backfield more than they do. It seems like the defense is right there as the handoff occurs a few too many times for my comfort level. Is Jacksonville that good of a defensive team? Maybe we are not giving J-Ville as much credit as they deserve. All in all, the team will get better as the season rolls along.

Travis Henry running to the right side.
