rockpile Posted August 22, 2006 Share Posted August 22, 2006 This is really kind of a skimpy camp report, but I decided I would put in as much effort as Buffalo's three quarteRbacks did tonight. All of them were as flat as Olive Oyl's, well, you know! Underthrown. overthrown, intercepted, sacked, uninspired... I am (almost) speechless. We are a team without a quarterback! JP started with an underthrow, an INT and an overthrow. Holcomb needed seven seconds to pass. He cOuld not even find his checkdown man. Nall seemed to think the object was to throw the ball as hard as you can, in the vicinity of the receiver. For you who have been saying we MUST give Nall a chance. He was lost outside the huddle. On a bright note - he hands off the ball well. We did get there late so we got the cheap seats, and the total field view was not great - but I saw enough to know I was NOT seeing enough. This is basically just a bash our QBs post, I guess The rest of the team was looking pretty good. Lionel Gates and A-Train got a lot of action receiving and rushing. Some nice work by the tight ends. Anyone know why Willis was wearing number two? Did the one come off in the wash? He also ran VERY well tonight. Our offense made our defense look like they were an All Star team. I was with babyrock and a friend and we had fun on a gorgeous Rochester summer night. The two lovely young ladies saved the night for me. As far as football, I saw little to SHOUT about. sigh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone know why Willis was wearing number two? Did the one come off in the wash? He also ran VERY well tonight. 2 was his number at UM I believe.

JoeF Posted August 22, 2006 Share Posted August 22, 2006 Thanks for the update Rock....no chance that you made a wrong turn and ended up in Albany watching RJ, Eli and Lorenzen is there? Or maybe some HS team in Rochester..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MadBuffaloDisease Posted August 22, 2006 Share Posted August 22, 2006 Not surprising, considering they gave all 3 QB's about equal snaps last night. The longer they drag-out naming JP the starter, the further behind the offense will be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rockpile Posted August 22, 2006 Author Share Posted August 22, 2006 Damn man, we JUST got some of the kids here away from the ledge...way to shove them right back off! 748800[/snapback] Look, I have been a Bills fan as long as I can remember (and I can remember a long way back). I did not gloss over in the 2-14 seasons, the decade of 70's, and the LOST episodes that have been the Y2K Bills. Why change now? Come opening day in Orchard Park, I will be there in all my colors cheering on my team. Damn kids gotta get over this "instant gratification" syndrome anyway! I welcome comments from anyone else who was there tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is this an inside joke that I missed? All I am sayng is we do NOT have a QB. The idea of practice is to hit a target, right? I am not the Anti-Christ!

MadBuffaloDisease Posted August 22, 2006 Share Posted August 22, 2006 Chris Brown said that JP was 16-26 with an INT and a sack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BillsFanForever19 Posted August 22, 2006 Share Posted August 22, 2006 You and I must have been at different practices altogether tonight. While Losman wasn't perfect, he DEFINITELY looked good a lot more than he looked bad. A lot of his throws were beautiful in my eyes. He looked worlds ahead of Holcomb and Nall also.

Yeah, I did a double-take when I read CB's report after reading Rockpile's, since 16-26 with an INT and a sack does NOT sound that horrible.

I was actually going to make a post about how well he looked. He threw a pick, but it was tipped from the recievers hand and bounced into London Fletcher's. Not to mention, pick's (unless there's a lot of them) in camp aren't that big of a deal. Most camp situations are no comparisons to the real deal. He threw some real beauties tonight and compared to the others..... well; there was no comparison. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree he was much better than the others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
34-78-83 Posted August 22, 2006 Share Posted August 22, 2006 Check the clips from practice on the main Bills site. He looks pretty good, and certainly better than the other two tonight. Both KH and CN threw multiple picks along with JP's one which explains your overall view a bit though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That leaves us with a developing prospect which is what most fans would call Losman. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The idea of practice is to hit a target, right? I am not the Anti-Christ! 748828[/snapback] Sorry, that was from Allen Iverson on the importance of practice. Probably in his case as a basketball player, practice isn't as important as it is in football. I admit your report does concern me a little bit. However judging from the games so far in the preseason, it definitely appears John Paul is getting closer and closer. He still bounces some easy passes and makes some questionable plays but I can see definite signs of improvement. Besides some guys are just better gamers than others. Plus, it's late in camp and maybe players are starting to wear down a bit. I think with some more game success and confidence, Losman will become the QB we all hoped for. I hope.

BoondckCL Posted August 22, 2006 Share Posted August 22, 2006 How did the TE's and Ofeensive Line do is the real question you want to ask about. As for JP looking bad. People are saying our secondary is the best in the league, and the strongest part of our team. So what if a "second" year - really year and a half- quarterback does not look great and he throws a pick. Relax, he'll come around. He is throwing against three former first round picks back there in Troy Vincent, Nate Clements and Donte Whitner, and throwing against a projected first round pick in Ashton Youboty, and someone as stellar as Terrence McGee.
