smokinandjokin Posted November 14, 2005 Posted November 14, 2005 Now that Losman came in and threw two deep balls and scrambled for a first-down, do the Bills have an advantage by keeping the starting QB a mystery? There was an immediate contrast between Holcomb's immobile style and short-passing attack and Losman's ability to move around and hit Evans downfield. Do the Bills really have an advantage by making the Chargers prepare for both QB's, or are they not going to really worry about either guy? Obviously, any game involving the Chargers revolves around Tomlinson- the guy is a TD machine. The Bills will need to put up some points to win this one.
stuckincincy Posted November 14, 2005 Posted November 14, 2005 No. After a hundred years of football, nothing new exists.
bobblehead Posted November 14, 2005 Posted November 14, 2005 I have a feeling the keeping mum bit has more to do with Holcomb's injury status than it does with competitive advantage this week.

I think everyone in the world knew Holcomb was starting, so nobody really took MM seriously. I wonder if now, the Chargers will have some extra work to do just because it really is up in the air as to who will be starting. In the first two plays Losman was in the game, you could immediately tell how different they are as QB's. But, SD might not be worried about either of them. Not sure, just asking your opinion.
plenzmd1 Posted November 14, 2005 Posted November 14, 2005 There is no way on Gods green earth that KH starts next week.And Marty knows that. Anybody wants to bet that I'll lay 5-1 odds at any level up to a 100 beans

Anybody wants to bet that I'll lay 5-1 odds at any level up to a 100 beans 502689[/snapback] Truthfully, I wouldn't be too terribly surprised if KH started (provided he has no lingering symptoms). It could throw SD for a loop. But I wouldn't be too terribly surpised to see a quick hook either. Nor would I be too surprised to see JP start. Frankly, I don't care what the name plate on the back of the jersey says, I just want them to do whatever it is they think that gives them the best chance of winning the ballgame.
Matt in KC Posted November 14, 2005 Posted November 14, 2005 I think there is at least a 2% advantage for a QB to hear who is starting from the coaches instead of the media.
