I hated what I saw yesterday, absolutely hated it. Course I haven't been a doom and gloomer. Some folks want to be able to say I told you so, and yesterday gave them ample amunition. Choose to read them or not, some have valid points, some drivel.

For most, I imagine it's a way of hedging their bets. If the team wins, they are wrong but happy. If the team loses, at least they can vent their anger from their perceived high ground. Also, people "grieve" in their own way. The younger generations have been trending (is that a word?) toward expressing their anger through making others feel bad, older generations tend clam up, and the hippies in the middle tend to be blind optimists. I expected our offense to not do well this week, but I didn't expect it to look this bad. I also thought our defense would finally show up for a big game on the road. I hope the offense improves as fast as I hoped they would. The defense...Well, what we see is pretty much what we'll get.

The Poojer Posted September 19, 2005 Posted September 19, 2005 the thing that sticks out about the reactions is how JP is allowed excuses for his performance, yet RJ & DB were crucified from the first faux pax(sp?). but you are right as well, some here relish in being right about the shortcomings of this team.

GO BILLS!!!! 446129[/snapback] Hey I have been a huge detractor of JP's but yesterday wasn't his fault. The coaches and Shelton were non-existant yesterday. I am sure there will be days when the CB's hang onto the ball and it will be JPs fault. But yesterday wasn't one of them.

But yesterday wasn't one of them. 446133[/snapback] So bad passing is only JPs fault if the CBs hold on to the ball? Never mind that the defensive backs were jumping all over the receivers' routes all day because JP stares at his target before he throws...but it's still not his fault until a DB catches the ball instead of knocking it down. That's just weird, man...

Campy Posted September 19, 2005 Posted September 19, 2005 Hey I have been a huge detractor of JP's but yesterday wasn't his fault. 446133[/snapback] JP had a lot of company, but he played very poorly. He's got to learn to look off DBs and make better decisions with the ball. Before the garbage time final drive what were his numbers? Something like 3-19 for 40-some yards? All of our opponents are going to stack the box to stop Willis, therefore, JP must get it done. People can blame whoever they want but the fact is, JP stunk it up yesterday.

That's just weird, man... 446142[/snapback] Yeah I know. I was trying to spount some of the BS I hear here. I know it's wrong, but I still don't think JP was the main reason we lost. Maybe we should have tried the retarded, one and a half pitch back, double end !@#$ed up once around the edsel long bomb play.

I dont mind the negative posts about the Bills, because frankly, moorman's 60 yd punt and lindells FG were about the only thing to be positive about yesterday. But its the Jerry Sullivan posters who are quiet when we win and are doing good, but when we lose, they jump all over everyone and are thrilled because they were right... Some people would rather say we are gonna be 6-10 and be right about it, than have the bills go 10-6 and just miss or even make the playoffs...

Only good thing about yesterday's game is we didn't suffer through that steaming pile of retatta of a play.

GO BILLS!!!! 446129[/snapback] Natural reaction. Those who were merciless in their attacks on Bledsoe last year and predicted that we only needed to change the QB to Losman to win it all this year are naturally going to be Losman apologists. I know, I was a Bledsoe apologist. I wish he was still here. But he's not and JP needs to be cut a break here. We don't know if he is RJ or Kelly yet and we won't for awhile. QBs should never be saddled with all the blame or the glory in any one game. Its always a team effort. Over the course of a few games its fair to say one quarterback or another would be better or worse for a team. Frankly blaming a QB is what the casual fan does. Knowing that other players, coaches, game situations, refs, weather and so on impact games is what knowledgeable fans pick up on. I don't love Losman, but he gets a mulligan from me here. We'll know more in a few weeks.

Just because such people spout off when things are bad, doesn't mean they're not happy when things are good. But then, some people are just massively insecure and need to be right about everything. I.e. me.

Puhonix Posted September 19, 2005 Posted September 19, 2005 we suck, JP sucks, willis sucks, mularkey sucks, TD sucks, i told you so we area 6-10 team 446187[/snapback] Damn Ramius, why you gotta ruin my flava!!

Willis doesn't suck. I won't comment on the rest.

GO BILLS!!!! 446129[/snapback] Let me get this straight, you'd want us to throw Losman to the dogs after 2 starts in the NFL? Johnson had plenty of time to prove himself. The fact that he didn't is on him. Bledsoe needed to make just one or two plays a game and more often than not he couldn't. He had ample time to prove himself as well. If after two seasons it is apparent that Losman is unable to be a quality QB than I will have no problem throwing him out, but 2 games does not a career make.
