All: The new Billszone site with the updated software is scheduled to be turned on Tuesday, May 21, 2024. The company that built it, Dynascale, estimates a FOUR HOUR shut down, from 8pm Pacific, (5pm Eastern) while they get it up and running. Nobody will be able to post in any forum until they are done. Afterwards, you may need to do a web search for the site, as old links will not work, because the site is getting a new IP address. Please be patient. If there are bugs, we will tackle them one at a time. Remember the goal is to be up and running with no glitches by camp. Doing this now assures us of that, because it gives us all summer to get our ducks in a row. Thank you!

Power Rankings: ESPN "Losman's underthrown pass should have been picked off"
Don't get too excited about J.P. Losman's performance in relief of an injured Trent Edwards on Sunday. Yes, he had the 85-yard TD pass to Lee Evans, but that ball was underthrown and should've been picked off
J.P. Losman played the role of reliever on Sunday, replacing an injured Trent Edwards and leading Buffalo to a hard-fought 13-3 win over the Jets in New Jersey. Buffalo's defense — banged up and ravaged by injuries — held New York to just three points and sacked Chad Pennington three times. After replacing an ineffective Pennington late in the fourth quarter, they intercepted Kellen Clemens twice. The play of the game came on a wild 85-yard touchdown pass and catch with Lee Evans. "We both kind of had it," Evans said after the game. "I figure once it's in my hands, it's mine. I tried to be as strong to the ball as possible." Buffalo's now 3-4, and despite a slew of injuries and inexperienced players getting significant playing time, the Bills still have a flickering playoff pulse.

Stupid freakin thread and post. How many throws have the potential to be intercepted but aren't. Typical ESPN and typical posters just trying to stir the pot.

Ofcourse when ESPN says something that you like they are once again a reliable source.
Look - The Answer gives credit to Losman for the Parrish throw because upon further examination it was a great pass and the little fella didn't make the catch.
But the Evans throw was very dangerous - and could have easily been picked off and returned for a TD by the jets. It was a lucky play that went our way and credit Evans for turning into a TD.
Re: Power Rankings: ESPN "Losman's underthrown pass should have been picked off"
Several of those throws by Tom Brady to Randy Moss should've been picked off too. He's even caught a couple in TRIPLE coverage. Sometimes you just gotta throw it up to your receiver and let them make a play. It's been done throughout the history of the NFL. Get over it people.

Aren't you the one saying the Pats loss was credited to JP and the Jets win is credited to Trent? Don't try to throw technicalities back my friend... JP was 3 for 5 (60%) for 113 yds (22.6 yds/att), 1 td (20%), 0 int's, 143.8 pr
Sometimes you just gotta make your own luck. Live with it!!

Losman lost the pats game because he started and the pats scored to make it 3 - 0 before Edwards came in.
Edwards is credited with the jets win because it was tied when he left but even The Answer will give Losman credit for scoring 10 points in the 4th quarter.
Bottom line it could have easily been 10 - 6 Jets if that horrible pass to Evans was Intercepted.

And I'm sure if that "horrible pass" was intercepted, and we lossed, you would credit Edwards with the loss since he was the starter. Right?

Did the end justify the means?
Any pass has the potential to be intercepted. Evans and Losman have hooked up like this before, this was not a lucky pass.
How any "Bills fan" could say that the game winning pass was horrible, is just absolutely beyond me. I can't comprehend where they are coming from.

The Answer don't make the NFL rule books - we aren't talking baseball here when a reliever comes in during a tie game and is credited with the win/loss.
