I was just rewatching the Cleveland game via the NFL Ticket's Short Cuts and after the review of the play where Moats' knocked the ball away from DelHomme, the referee announced "the quarterbork lost possession..." LOL!! Now throughout Bills' history, we've experienced some quarterdorks but never a quarterbork.

I've thought along these lines for years. Living in NorCal, I witnessed the Niners/Cowboys rivalry of the 80's and early 90's. Each offseason, they would make moves to counter the other team's strengths. Alvin Harper torching the Niners CBs, they draft one, Eric Davis, in the next draft. Cowboys O-line struggling to stop Charley Haley, they sign him away as free agent. Even though the switch to 4 team divisions lessened the importance of divisional games slightly, you still want to beat the team(s) that you're competing with for the division title.

Your expectations may be too high. Mallet is a gunslinger like Jim Kelly. You have to take the bad with the good. Kelly averaged 21.5 TDs per season in his Bills' career but also averaged 16 INTs. As we've seen, most of the college QBs with amazing college stats (Colt Brennan, Timmy Chang, Chase Clement, Kingsbury, Graham Harrell, etc.) are products of their systems and don't make it in the NFL. QBs from the major conferences, with less impressive college numbers, are usually the ones that make it, especially because of the competition they face.

Just because Carolina drafted Claussen doesn't mean they wouldn't take Luck.

Hey, I think that was the 1st game I went to also. Alvin Wyatt with a punt return TD?

Yeah, the disparity in talent was often an extreme back then. They'd have a few games in a season where they'd get just a few 1st downs and lose like 31-0. The Green Bay game, although a similar score didn't feel as bad because the defense helped hold it to 13-7 at the half and the 1st downs and time of possession were close. There were many games in the 70's & 80's where the game was over in the 1st qtr and you knew there was no way the team had the capability to make a game of it.

Me either. He has not shown anything to me to deserve an extension.

Yes, and I've said it several times: Why make a switch to the 3-4 defense when your offense was the bigger problem and your new head coach is offense-minded?? As a result, the top 2 free agent acquisitions in A.Davis & Edwards were brought in because of their familiarity with the 3-4. Two of the top 4 draft picks were for the defensive side. It has been said that you couldn't make this team a playoff contender in one offseason but I disagree. If the Bills stuck with a 4-3 defense, they could have focused on the offense in free agency and the draft. McNabb was acquired by Washington for a 2nd and a conditional 3rd or 4th in 2011 so, they could've gone that way for a veteran QB & drafted one. The QB position would've been in a lot better shape than what they started the season with.

I like Kellen Moore, too!! They have some nice paint colors. Oh wait, you're talking about the QB. Seriously, even though he usually isn't playing against top competition, he has at the start of this year(Oregon St) I've been impressed with his leadership & decision making.

Maybe the Niners. They don't seem to have good East Coast scouts as they overpaid for Kevin Williams, Jason Jennings and Clements over the years. Being a Stanford product they should love him. Alex Smith had another poor game after showing promise vs New Orleans. They also have David Carr & Troy Smith so they might be interested.

Didn't he just get a big extension he didn't deserve a couple years ago??

Are you kidding?? On Mathews 3rd sack, he was Bell's man & all Bell could do was touch him as he went by/

I joined the TBD Pick Winners & Survival Pools started by SDS on BetaBuddy but didn't write down the league names/pwds and don't find them anywhere here. Can someone please help??

Yes, the one-handed interception.

Davis has a learning disorder. He pissed off Singletary who said he needed to work harder.

Same here That worked. Thanks.

He signed with the Niners, who cut Nate Davis

Why would you call Mularkey?? He's with Atlanta.

As does all the Dave Matthews discussion on the Shoutbox.

Yes, the College All-Star game pitted the NFL league champion vs a team of college allstar seniors. The last game was played in 1976.

Maybe he signed to the practice squad.

Make that 11 DBs 6 CBs: McGee, Florence, McKelvin, D.Harris, Youboty, Corner 5 Ss: Whitner, Byrd, Wilson, Scott, C.Harris

And 6 are CBs with 5 safeties. Those are Jauron type DB numbers.

Steve Johnson may have justified his starting position in practices but he didn't do much of anything in these games.

How can you call 6-10 a "great season"?? I wouldn't even call it a good season. Another way of putting it would be " 6-10 would not be a horrible season".
