Why Losman?

[Sisyphean Bills]

Are you guys really that surprised Drew got yanked? He sucked. That was one of the worst games by a QB I have ever seen. Why the hell didn't Mularkey grow a sack and pull him earlier?

 

I was surprised to see Losman enter the game but then thought, well, he'll just be handing the ball to a back...

 

But then I see him stepping back to PASS. WTF IS THAT???

 

Losman looked like crap too. He looked like Rob Johnson quite frankly. So, the next thought is: oh no, they wasted another 1st round pick on a Rob Johnson clone.

 

Maybe they did. Losman was truly pathetic.

 

Still, he hasn't practiced much at all and was probably not ready to play. I hope. I hope that was what it was. And not a clueless fool 1st round bust running around and tossing the ball to defenders 1 yard away from him in a panic.

 

After last night, I have to say Gregg Williams (who's doing very well in Washington) is a much better coach than what we have now. And he wasn't ready to be a head coach and wasn't very good at it.

How can you say he was Rob Johnson? That is a very uneducated statement. I would bet he did not get one snap with the starting offense all week. Then he gets thrown in against the Pats. Please! They should have put in Matthews who was the backup. Losman will be much much much better with real prep time. Let him start next week. PLEASE.

 

Bledsoe is just terrible, nice guy and all but terrible as a OB. I think we need a QB, not a nice guy in there.

 

START LOSMAN!

[Sisyphean Bills]

Easy. JP looked like crap.

 

Sure, there are plenty of excuses. He wasn't ready, blah, blah, blah.

 

He looked like CRAP. He was only in there a handful of plays and fumbled and threw a horrible interception. He was totally unprepared. He was the anti-Tom Brady coming in for Bledsoe.

 

Look, I don't want Losman to suck. I wish I saw Jim Kelly and not Rob Johnson out there. But I'm intellectually honest with myself. What I saw was a clueless kid playing atrocious football. Maybe not completely his fault. But he has a long, long way to go.

 

Playing Matthews seems like the only real option if the Bills want to be competitive.

Competitive? We got annihilated/embarrassed/schooled in front of a national audience. Matthews will do nothing to tip the scales in our favor as far as being competitive. The Bills need to think about next year right freaking now. Why wait? What difference does it make if we win a game with Shane Matthews as QB right now?

You didn't see stevestojan. Give us all a break. The kid hasn't been allowed to take more than 1-2 snaps in practice due to them trying to pimp bledsoe. Let the kid play for awhile and actually get practice before bashing him.

And Willis looked worse than Ron Dayne last night. Truly pathetic. WM=RD.

I'm glad that you're not our head coach. Putting in Mathews in throwing in the towel for the season. It also hurts the development of some of our younger players on offense.

Yeah. Competitive. Not every team is the Patriots. Bledsoe is only getting worse and from what I saw Losman is definitely NOT ready. The Bills should be able to compete with some bottom feeding teams.

I hope you are right. I really do.

 

But the fact is Losman sucked.

[BB27]

Playing Matthews next week would be a mistake. You would be better with Drew in there. Matthews is not going to be our QB next year. Play Losman or play Drew.

 

Oh yeah, Bledsoe is done, he is finished. So I guess you have to play Losman.

I'm also glad I don't coach this stevestojan.

 

And whatever. Matthews will single handedly retard the development of which players? More than Bledose? More than an unprepared one-legged wet behind the ears doe eyed kid? Put down the crack pipe and talk some sense.

Is Losman going to get enough reps in ONE WEEK??

 

If so, then sure. Why not?

[Sisyphean Bills]

I'll spell it out slowly. The Bills have 3 options at QB at this point.

 

1) Continue the status quo and go with Bledsoe. Are there any positives to this? Bledsoe can no longer make plays, makes terrible decisions, etc., etc. MM can continue to pretend Bledsoe is going to come out of his funk, but how does that help? I guess it saves MM some grief, because he can just cut Bledsoe at the end of the season and say it wasn't his fault.

 

2) Rush a rookie who has missed virtually everything up until now because of a broken leg into the line up. He's a 1st round pick and needs to develop. Of course, rushing him out there without a clue, he could easily be ruined and enter the books as the latest Ryan Leaf, Cade McNown, or Akili Smith bust.

 

3) Put in the other veteran QB on the roster, Matthews. He can run around and has a so-so arm. He's not the best QB around but it's hard to see how anybody that's actually trying to play well could make as many back-breaking mistakes as Bledsoe does. He's not the long term answer, of course. But he could fill in as a stop gap between an out of gas Bledsoe coasting to the finish and an unready Losman.
