A second string QB iced our #2 D today

[imbondz]

Volek looked like a seasoned veteran out there, calm and collected in the pocket. Bledsoe looked like a deer in headlights with not a clue which direction to go.

one thing I don't understand- on a lot of plays our DBs had them covered well, but somehow the receivers were still able to make plays. What gives?

[Dozerdog]

Well, their receivers have been nin big game situations and know how to win.

There is value to not deliberately losing / tanking a season for better draft picks. You players learn how to make plays and pull games out when the chips are down.

Volek was just as impressive against us in that preseason whipping the Thumbtacks laid on us last summer, on ESPN. Hes gonna be a good one.

[Brian Griese Rulz]

Maybe we should trade our 1st round pick for him.

Volek did look pretty good today, but think about it. He got all the reps in practice for the past couple of weeks, as McNair rested and tried to heal up. Tennesse also played a lot of "max-protect" to give him some extra time. Then, to top it all off, their head coach is our headuphisass coach's old boss. Their HC is magnitudes smarter than our HC...but we came close to beating them IN SPITE of GW and his buddy KG> Let's not get crazy with the "let's trade our 1st and 4th round picks for him' stuff. Besides, hasn't Tennessee paid us enough insults already (GW, KG, Eddie Robinson, etc., etc., etc...)?

[Jan Reimers]

Yeah - We traded for Rob based on one good start in Jacksonville.

[BillsNick]

Volek is hurting today. He got rocked so many times I lost count. Wire ate his lunch twice, and I think every defensive lineman layed him out once each as well, yet the dude completed almost every pass. Volek played a great game.

[R. Rich]

Hey helmet, I understand the guy took snaps in practice and all, but the fact of the matter is that a guy who had thrown 31 passes in his entire career and had NEVER started a game before shredded our defense yesterday. Even with Schobel getting pressure, they still need more. The lack of a pass rush really hurt us in this game. Even if they don't get sacks, they need to be in the QBs face ALL THE TIME so that he can't get set and do exactly what Volek did to us yesterday.
