zow2 Posted September 26, 2004 Share Posted September 26, 2004 The Bills game was a miracle comeback...a fluke. The other two I don't think he did anything to lose the game. NO turnovers in his last 2 games and I think he was sacked only twice in each game. Remember...each sack is like a turnover or a failed 3rd down conversion (especially when were dealing with the Bills). If Drew can get us through a game with no turnovers and minimal sacks we should win our share of games with our D. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Against the Jags it wasn't he who allowed 2-4th down conversions, but then again, RJ didn't allow that Homerun Throwup either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ray Posted September 27, 2004 Share Posted September 27, 2004 Sacks are not like turnovers--TO are much worse than a sack. But the point of the original post is well taken. Leftwich is not a good QB and their team still wins. Watching today was upsetting as I keep thinking the Bills should be 2-0 not 0-2. Also they could easily be 0-4 in another 2 weeks.

maddog Posted September 27, 2004 Share Posted September 27, 2004 Watching games today made me realize that there are a bunch of mediocre teams and quarterbacks out there. After watching Baltimore vs. Cincinnati (Boller & Palmer), things are going to have to be really bad before I'd be ready to hand the reins over to J.P. Losman. I have no reason to think he's not going to be good, but there will undoubtedly be some growing pains. I think Marvin Lewis is finding himself in a tough situation right now. The QB that gives them the best chance to win now is probably Kitna. I can't see them making the move back to him at this point though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zow2 Posted September 27, 2004 Share Posted September 27, 2004 The point is that sacks are a negative football play and tough for the Bills to overcome. Sacks are drive killers much like the failed 3rd down conversion or a TO. That's all I'm trying to say. Leftwich is avoiding the negative plays except the two TO's in Buffalo. But like I said, they won on a one out of a hundred drive....converting 3 out of 3 4th downs on the last drive is something extraordinary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
