Sorry, man, but the words "Tackling Dummy" and "realistic" in the same sentence is just TOO funny....

I realize it...I'm just not slitting my wrists and overreacting about the problems and placing blame where it doesn't belong.
I used to react with emotions instead of common sense after a Bills loss. For example, I was one of thousands at the stadium calling for Todd Collins to replace Kelly after Kelly threw 3 picks against the Fish in '96
I felt like a ****ing idiot by the time I got out to the car

Yes, and the Earth is flat.

When did sanity take a vacation around here?

Where does the blame go? The team is 3-6 and not showing any signs of improvement. While I respect your intent at looking at the positive. The fact is there is not a lot to be positive about. There comes a time when someone needs to be accountable. Reality is the Bills are a few years away from being good.

it gets spread around...goes to the right people instead of all on the QB or all on the head coach, for example. People react out of emotion on the day of the game so often....without thinking things through. Certain people have a personal hatred of JP, so they'll give him blame for every sack...others won't give him blame for any. On today's sacks, for example...I think he had just enough time to get rid of the ball on 1 of them...possibly even a 2nd one...though the sack by McFarland is questionable

I can be negative though...believe me...I just see so much negativity of late, I get sickened by it...and don't need to add to it

I agree completely that the blame should not go on Losman or just the head coach but if look at there season but IMO 80% of the problem falls mostly on the line, bad play calling and the fact that Losman locks onto one receiver, holds on to the ball and fumbles a lot.
Losman does not deserve much blame in this loss. I thought he did pretty well when he was asked to pass the ball. It seems though that when the Bills lose the blame usually falls upon the shoulders of the QB, OL or coaching or some combination of them.
The TE's deserve there fair share of the blame in this game thought betwenn bad penalties, not picking up a block or not making the critical catch.
