Re: It's Not Losman.. Its the Line
I especially love this paragraph.
"Give credit to Marv Levy and Dick Jauron for recognizing this when they took over the team in January. They signed Fowler and Reyes as free agents, then used three of their nine draft picks on offensive linemen Brad Butler, Terrance Pennington and Aaron Merz.
But here's the problem: It doesn't look as if Fowler or Reyes can play. And Butler was a fifth-round choice while Pennington and Merz were seventh-rounders. "

Re: It's Not Losman.. Its the Line
It's at least partially the O line's fault, but no QB is going to have perfect protection on every play. When his breaks down, JP needs to learn to throw it away, or dump it off, or run, or - when all else fails - eat it, but in any case to PROTECT THE BALL, rather than fumbling or throwing an interception as he has done too often.Should have known, way back in 1960 when we drafted Richie Lucas Number 1, that this would be a long, hard ride. But who could have known it would be THIS bad?

I dont know any other way to say this.. I think he's a pretty stupid quarterback.. but this OL doesnt help

Re: It's Not Losman.. Its the Line
In weeks 1-3 the protection was adequate... JP looked average to good...
In weeks 4-5 the protection has been terrible... JP looks lost.
I would think that by now some of you would have realized this fact and understood that the line is the problem.

Re: It's Not Losman.. Its the Line
Fact of the matter is, despite mediocre OL play and crappy OL play...the bills can only score a max of 20 points a game. That is PATHETIC! You're telling me that for 2 seasons straight, our plateau is 20 points??? Even a blind squirrle finds a nut sometimes, and I think our offense is the blind, deaf, and dumb squirrle.

BTW...Who is this columnist?
I like these quotes from him.
It's true that Losman often holds the ball too long, and his receivers have done a routinely lousy job of getting open. But when, on average, their window of opportunity is about 1.5 seconds, there's only one direction you can point the finger.
It was another ignominious day for Buffalo's blockers — and we use that term loosely — at Ford Field in Detroit. Losman was sacked five times and hurried more than a Dunkin Donuts cashier at the morning coffee rush-hour by a Lions defense that entered the game ranked dead last in the NFL in sacks.That proves NOTHING about Losman

Notice JP's going backwards. At the start of the year when he was on a powertrip for winning the QB competition he had confidence in himself. Now after the spanking it feels like he is sulking in the corner and waiting to be slapped again.
So in that respect, I think this post should say
In weeks 1-3 JP looked average for a 2-2 record
In weeks 4-5 JP played worse than your grandma in an wheelchair. 0-2 recordThat proves NOTHING about Losman
