Scenario: Assuming we go back to Losman

[The Answer]

The Answer has been thinking about this since there's a good chance we might be forced to go back to Losman if The Young Gun's wrist isn't ready this week. And there's a good chance he may keep the job for several weeks as well. And this is the scenario that scares The Answer the most:

Losman lights up the Bengals for 300+ yards and 3 TD's and we win big against a team that is 0 - 3 on the road and has a horrible defense and all kinds of turmoil right now.

Then we go down to Miami and Losman has another good game statwise against the the lowly Dolfellon.

So we are 5-4 entering a monster game against what could be the 9 - 0 New England Patriots and are destroyed at home with Losman having on of the worst games of his career.

Coming of that loss we stick with Losman as we travel to Washington and Jacksonville in consecutive weeks - two teams with very aggressive, complex defenses that will be contending for playoffs spots as well - so the bottom line is do we really think the result is going to be any different this year? No way Losman wins either of those games and it's right back to square one when we are 5 - 7 heading into the final 4 games of the season and then turn back to Edwards to finish the year and he probably goes 3 - 1 and we finish 8 - 8.

So if this does play out and Losman loses 3 straight - he will have truly blown his last chance as a starting QB - can the Losman homers at least concede to this as a plausible scenario given his history?

Re: Scenario: Assuming we go back to Losman

it's a plausible scenario with either QB - edit, sorry misread that last little bit - I think Losman is gone next year either way.

Re: Scenario: Assuming we go back to Losman

That is one long scenario.

I don't know why you would assume TE goes 3-1. Or why this team, with an approved defense, can't beat Jacksonville or Washington.

And QB's don't win or lose games. Teams do.

Re: Scenario: Assuming we go back to Losman

Yes. Losing to good teams is always plausible.

What about this scenario though. What if Losman doesn't lose three in a row, plays well and leads the Bills to a 10 win season and the playoffs?

I think either scenario is unlikely though, as I expect Jauron to go back to Edwards as soon as he's healthy regardless of what Losman does.

Because Losman has only beat one team on the road with a winning record and that was the jets last year whose defense wasn't that great to begin with.

Jags and Skins defense have been furocious at home this year - similar to NE and Pitt and we all know how Losman fared in those two contests earlier this year.

Re: Scenario: Assuming we go back to Losman

The funny part is that I think Edwards is fine with sitting on the bench.

If Losman plays really well against Cincy I would definately continue to play him. Why not?

I hope Losman plays on Sunday.

Yes I am with you on this.

If that happens I will be starting a thread titled...

"Congratulations JP Losman"

"You have just moved past Rob Johnson for wins as the Bills starting QB. Granted it took you 4 more starts but you did it. Congrats."

.

1)he's not our future. Time to devlop our future.
2) I doubt he trusts our coaches anymore.
3) I'm sure he doesn't want to play for a team that keeps rebuilding every year.
4) Ralphy won't go for that.
5) His voice is too squeeky.

Re: Scenario: Assuming we go back to Losman

By the way, how did JP do against the Patriots, The Answer? Well, while I was watching the telecast, the first offensive play he got injured, and tried to tough it out and got sacked and was lost for the entire game... virtually! I'd say he didn't fare real well, but in my mind, it was due to injury or did I miss something here!!

When has Losman ever played a good game against the Pats?

If Losman goes 1-4 over that stretch, I'll be ready to turn the reins over permanently. Anything better than that, and it'll depend on who he beats, and how he plays in the losses. Personally, I think we'll go 3-2 with wins against Cinnci, Miami, and the Jaguars.

I Totally agree. Edwards already has more experience than he anticpated, and he'll be better prepared to be a starter next year (which he will be)

F it.. Let Losman play out the string.. I hope he plays GREAT too, so that the remaining members of the board who dont already know what a duechebag Ralph Wilson is will have NO CHOICE but to see it.

Re: Scenario: Assuming we go back to Losman

I will give you one worse then that. We put our future QB in a bad spot and ask him to do to much and ruin his confidence while he gets beat like a pinata and possibly injured. Get him some help for next year while he learns the system and heals that wrist and improves his arm strength and gains more confidence. Then year after next we will be ready for the pats when T Bradys best year will be behind him. Trent had a hard time at NY what makes you think NE, Was, or Jacksonville or Miami for that mater will be "W" for him? If you support TE it would seem you would want to put him in the best situation to succeed. I dont think the rest of the team is going to just sit around until T Edwards learns how not to throw picks..as Evidenced by Witner, Evans and other core/ket veterans. That will not be a good situation for anyone.
