Nobody cares if you are not watching it or not. Fact is, the team does not have a better record with Trent than it does with JP over the last two years. Fact is, Trent has been pretty bad since the Cardinals game and has been playing no better than JP ever did.

I watch every game, regardless. Last week I went to the Skins game, but I successfully avoided the score and watched the Bills game as soon as I got home.

I watched every game in the 3-13 season and I'll watch every game this season. Win, lose or draw, we only get 16 a year.

You can honestly sit here and tell me the team plays the same with Losman vs. Edwards?

The last six games they have.

Hell, at least they got a FG out of JP last week. The Trent offense was shutout for a half against San Fran.
And I can tell you the records are the same and that Trent has one victory as a starter against a team that finished the season with a winning record.

Is that much better?

Yeah, until one of them figures out how to get the ball in the end zone neither is going to amount to much. I didn't know about the record thing though that you mentioned in another post (both are 7-9), good find Doc.

In 4 years Losman couldn't muster up a better passer rating than what Edwards has right now.

Right on.


In fact, I think the game might be more entertaining with Losman behind center. His play is so erratic that it keeps me interested to see what he does next. It's often bad, but occasionally he makes a really good play out of nothing or the big bomb that has you shaking your head.

I have no interest in watching a guy that won't be on our roster next year struggle through a game he's not equipped to play at the professional level. Same reason I didn't watch the strike games.

I'm too busy to waste an afternoon on a guy or a team that can't get better. At least with Edwards there is hope for improvement and a win.

Losman= a giant loss.

Lecter, I think you are missing something about the quarterbacks. They have both been bad...but JP is our first round pick five years ago...and TE is our third round pick two years ago. It's very sad that JP can't outperform TE. He's proven crap and TE is debatable. We need him out there playing against the 3-4 to either learn how to beat it or prove that he's not the guy. having JP on the field is pointless.

I think our problems go way beyond the QB position, although neither JP nor TE are exactly distinguishing themselves at the moment.

If I don't watch, it's because I'm so sick of watching us labor and struggle and mostly fail to do the things that other teams seem to do with ease.

Who cares what round they're picked in? Either you have it or you don't. Neither of them do.
At least Losman KNOWS what a 3-4 defense is. That's pointFULL.

Im so sick of this lame excuse for Trent, look if the concussion was still a factor (other than him being scared to step into a throw) then he wouldn't be playing. The coaching staff hasnt been half as bad as the crappy play execution and the OL has played very well especially recently given all the crap they undeservedly get. Trent Edwards has only been sacked 20 times which puts him 15th in the league and many of those have come from him holding onto the damn ball.

The bottom line is this; his mechanics are sloppy, he won't step into a throw if he's under pressure, he's not progressing through reads, he is using his dump off too much, he's playing scared.

He's afraid to make mistakes and that's what his biggest issue is. You can't have that as a QB. I dont want to see Losman play either, Id prefer Hamdan to be perfectly honest. But boycotting a Bills game because of the QB? Be serious.

Dr. Lecter
12-04-2008, 07:27 AM
I agreed with up until the Hamdan part.

At least Trent might have a future. Hell, we all remember how badly the Giants fans wanted Eli gone after his second year. Right now Trent is bad, but a game on the sidelines might do him some good.

But Hamdan? Ugh.

We know what we have in JP, we have a good idea of what the good Trent is like and what the bad Trent is like. But can anybody say they know what Hamdan can bring?

I don't think he'd actually show us anything, but at this point I could care less about a win or loss (its all draft position now), its all about evaluation of the enitre roster for me.

It is also about player development and long term it is better to have Trent playing. Maybe one week off.

BTW, since they are not mathematically eliminated it is still about winning. 100% about winning. You do not start this evaluation crap until it is officially over.

Sorry, but the team is still going to try and win. For that reason alone they will be starting Losman over Hamdan. I doubt you saw it but Hamdan played the whole pre-season game against the Lions and I was not impressed, although he was playing with other third string guys. He has bounced around a bit in the league and you would think at this point if he was any good he would've gotten a shot.

Who said they shouldnt try to win exactly? Anybody who puts on a uniform Sunday should be trying to win and if they aren't they should be cut on the spot.

Pre-Season tells me nothing, put him in a regular season game and see what he can do. If he sucks no problem at least we know, but what if he plays like Tyler Thigpen?? The likelyhood of that is extremely small, but he was a D-I QB at Indiana and has a good arm.

some people are so deliriously from the rose-colored glasses, and the raging mancrush for Lossman, that the Lickers don't see it that way. Lossman is gone in a month. the least they can do is see if Hamdan can play for the #3 spot next year.

I dont think giving Omon a few carries a game is going to hurt anybody and wouldnt be a bad idea to see where he is at now since we could realistically lose Jackson in the offseason as he is an RFA and could be a hot commodity.

They have to play the players who give them the best chance to win. I know most of the coaches are idiots but they see Hamdan on a daily basis. If they honestly thought he gave them a better chance I'm sure he would be playing. They are 6-6 and Jauron is basically coaching for his job. Why would he throw it away to evalutate players for next year when he most likely won't be here if he doesn't win out.

No I got your point but attempting to compare a lost season to one singular playoff game where an entire roster eval is impossible is a reach?

The Giants team is a better comparison but if memory serves me right that team started 6-2 and never lost more than 1 game in a row after Week 2. So again the comparison is still very weak. As of Week 14 the Giants 8-4, not quite the 6-6 and losing 5 of their last 7.

We've seen no indication that Jauron will be canned at the end of this year or not renewed and honestly if he finishes 8-8 or so he'll likely be back even though the playoffs won't happen.

His point with the Giants are that they were not very consistent in the latter part of the season but they kept playing hard and caught fire at the right time. With the Bills still "mathmatically" in the hunt the coaches and players have to take that same mentality.

Now don't get me wrong. I think they are out of it. I think the season is over. But I'm not a member of the Buffalo Bills. They can't think that way.

For the coaches to straight up just mail it in and say "we're going to play the young guys to evalutate talent for next year" would be the biggest disaster they could ever imagine.

No, I said he is an idiot. Most of them are. They should be all gone and most likely will. I think anything short of winning out and going 10-6 will result in him being gone. Ralph has to realize the mood of the fans at this point.

Seems that way, but in reality the coaching/front office are just that incompetent. To openly admit they are mailing it in for next year would be a terrible thing to do.



but some of us see starting Lossman as mailing in the season.

His point with the Giants are that they were not very consistent in the latter part of the season but they kept playing hard and caught fire at the right time. With the Bills still "mathmatically" in the hunt the coaches and players have to take that same mentality.

Now don't get me wrong. I think they are out of it. I think the season is over. But I'm not a member of the Buffalo Bills. They can't think that way.

For the coaches to straight up just mail it in and say "we're going to play the young guys to evalutate talent for next year" would be the biggest disaster they could ever imagine.


6-2 to start isnt consistent? Never having any kind of a losing streak?? The Giants caught fire in week 3-9 and then again in weeks 18-21.

The coaches should say anything. We know Trent is not playing this week, right? Well you can play Losman who we all know won't be back or you can see what Hamdan gives you. Make some BS up in the press about Hamdan looking good in practice, Im sure the whipping boy and run a blog on it and the fans will buy it. You don't have to say you are doing this or that, you just do it.

Activate Omon and give him a few carries to see if he can handle getting rocked by a LB. Throw the ball to Hardy more and see how well he runs the fade route at this point. Let Ellis start, hell he can't be any worse. Give Buggs some reps at OLB, and let Bell spell Walker once every few series. Im not saying these guys should start and play every down Im saying they should see time starting now. The Hamdan thing starting wise is only because Trent is "hurt" otherwise I wouldnt say we should do it.

And if you let these guys play are you suggesting making players like Jackson inactive, so it is guarenteed he leaves?

Is that what I said? I have no issue making guys like Chambers inactive in favor of Bell, or guys making Trent inactive this week (since he's not playing) in favor of Omon so he can get some carries. With all the injuries we have it should be an issue to find time for these youngsters.

Just read that he is out. As of December 3rd:


Bills RE Aaron Schobel doesn't anticipate needing surgery on his sprained foot, but sounds less than optimistic about his injury. "This is a deal that can (affect) you for two years," he said. "At this point it’s almost a career issue. You get up in age and the (stuff) starts bothering you all the time." Schobel will probably miss at least 1-2 more weeks.

You can honestly sit here and tell me the team plays the same with Losman vs. Edwards?If you hadn't noticed, seems you have missed more games then you think.

Mr. Pink
12-04-2008, 11:35 AM
The team didn't play any differently with either QB in last week.

Except Lindell made a kick when JP was in.

They were horrid on offense with either guy in.

That being said, previously to now, Edwards gave more hope to actually winning games. I still think that if Trent played the Cardinal game we don't lose 41-17 BUT he's showing he's simply not good enough to win consistently at this level either.

Edwards, while not as bad as JP, won't ever take you to that next level. Even if he played a warm weather climate, eventually you'll have to play a meaningful game in harsh weather conditions. He's done nothing to show he can perform at even a mediocre level in those conditions.

This all being said we NEED to go out and bring in a vet of outstanding caliber in the offseason....Garcia, Warner, McNabb - if the Eagles move him, would be a good start. Draft a guy in Rd 2 or 3 to learn under the vet for a season or two. Trade Edwards for value.

Find me one with a weaker schedule to start the season and pad that win line..... Edwards is a joke of a QB and won't be a starter for very long in the league. He doesn't have the nose for the end zone that a QB needs to be successful.

I'm not just saying it to be an ass, he really just can't do it. Do I hope he can eventually figure it out? Heck yeah, but having watched him so much from college to this point he just doesn't have the "it" factor. He's going to get another year from the Bills, and he damn well should just like every other rookie in the NFL. But if he can't become a scoring QB next season I think he's officially done.

Honestly, Russell has shown me more as far as "potential" than Edwards has.

I agree with you about the Minnesota combo, but Jackson still has a lot of upside and there's a very good chance he'll be starting again next season.

Bulger is still a great, accurate QB, he is just a QB who has nothing to work with and is a guy who gets jacked up more than any QB you'll ever see.

I agree Bulger is great and accurate, but he has lead in his feet. Abd on a team with a bad line, that makes him look doubly bad. (as a note the should dump him - by the time they are good he will be over the hill)

And Jackson has physical upside, but from what I have seen he has fewer football smarts than JP.

Hasselbeck has 1 win this year against St Louis.

Fitzpatrick has 1 win against the Jags and Palmer has 0 wins.

Schaub has 3 wins against Miami, Detroit, and Cincinnati and S. Rosenfels beat Cleavland and Jacksonville.

Russel has 3 wins versus Oakland, Jets, and Denver.

Bulger has 2 wins against the Redskins and Cowboys.

Hill has 2 wins against the Rams and us.

Anderson has 3 wins against Cincinnati, Giants, and Jacksonville.

Garrard has 4 wins against Indy (when they sucked), Houston, Detroit, and Denver.

Thigpen has 1 win against the Raiders.

And fat boy has yet to win in Detroit.

So with the exception of Bulger beating the Cowboys and Skins, I would say the rest of those QB's wins came against less than stealer teams with the exception of the Giants and possible the Jets.

Yeah, I think DB and I are the only two on the board that still have faith in Jackson. It's funny that you compare him to Losman because that's exactly what I think of when I think Jackson; a guy with more talent than just about every QB in the NFL from a physical standpoint, but a guy who can't seem to figure the game out mentally. He and Losman are going to get another chance though, there's just too much god given physical talent there not to.

The problem Edwards has is that he doesn't have a lot of that same god given natural talent that the other two do so his rope to hang himself with is going to be a bit shorter over the course of his career. I could easily see him going the way of Kelly Holcomb at this point. Either way he gets one more year to show what he's made of, I hope, for the sake of the franchise, he figures out how to get the ball in the end zone or it may be curtains for the Bills.

I think saying TE gets another year to prove himself is, to me, way too simplified for the way the situation should be. Yes, he needs to go off and grow and come back to camp and prove that he's improved. But he also, at that time, should be competing against a proven veteran QB for the job. I'd like to say it's easy to get those guys in here but I don't think it is...and I'm certain without it DJ and company will be done next year and we'll be starting over again.

In short, a proven veteran is a requirement for this team to get to the next level IMO. That also means TE might be sat and he might emerge the next year or the one following that. I would't be too quick to rule that out. And I'd like to be able to hold DJ accountable if that veteran is not brought in here but the reason for that all too easily could be coming right from the top. If someone told me that accepting a coaching job here was career suicide I would not be surprised at all.

With Buffalo, there's no doubt Losman's rope is shorter. But another team out there will give Losman a chance because of his physical talent.

Teams are more afraid of a guy who can move the chains and produce drives over a guy who can chuck one up and get lucky. You're gonna tell me teams didn't fear Tarkenton or Montana or Pennington for that matter? When did any of those three chuck it up? Next to never.

Before last year Tom Brady didn't chuck it up either...are you telling me he wasn't feared a few seasons back? Of course he's more feared now because he can do everything, but he wasn't any less of a player 2 years ago.

And about the Anderson being garbage and Trent's better thing...when Trent can put up a pro-bowl caliber season, then you can say Trent is better. Trent will never do this but, hey. It's good to dream.

Honestly neither QB we have right now should be here next year. One guy can't get it done at all because he's mentally deficient at the position and the other guy cracks at any sign of adversity.

I believe Lechter said put Trent's brain in JPs body and you'd have a top 5 QB...I think that's completely wrong...you'd still have a guy that wasn't good enough to play in this league if you did that. Because you'd have a guy that cracks at adversity regardless.

If Edwards is indeed here next year as starter, with the schedule the Bills will have, they'll be lucky to win 6 games. Edwards has shown nothing that he can perform at even a game manager level against good NFL competition. Just like he couldn't perform against good NCAA competition for the most part.
