I hope Losman plays a lot tonight

[Novacane]

I really don't wanna watch Travis Brown for 1 1/2 quarters like last week. JP needs all the playing time he can get.

[DraftBoy]

I agree id like to see him in there for a half

[The Spaz]

Hopefully the 1st string offense does well so that will allow J.P. to play more.

[BAM]

I want to see the 1st stringers more than either, they obviously need the work

[saviorbledsoe]

I am hoping to see our first team in there for 1st half. T. Brown in the 3rd quarter and JP in the 4th.

[TigerJ]

I doubt the first team will get a half. That will come next week. Travis Brown is going to get some time with first string. I can't see Drew getting any time with second string. If first string gets a quarter plus maybe one drive in the second quarter, I could see JP getting the entire second half.

[Jayhawk]

yeah I hope that Losman gets more work, he looked good the last game. I just hope that the offense (1st team) can jell. That offensive line is going to gray MM real fast.

[That Guy]

Just kinda off topic.. when is the deadline for the first cuts?

[TigerJ]

I think it's on another thread. Something like August 31, after all of the third week of preseason games.

[Mr. Cynical]

I want to see JP in the 2nd quarter with the first team offense. That would be the smart move imo.

[That Guy]

I think that the team is planning on taking Losman along slowly. I think he'll probably get as much action as he did last week.

As far as quarterbacks go, the only thing that the Bills are worried about this week is if Travis Brown is a capable NFL backup. The only way they can really get a fair analysis of that is if he works in with the first team. Brown is the odd guy out, he's not the starter and he isn't the first round pick. If they really want to invest more time into him, TD and the coaching staff has to figure out if he's worth keeping around.

me too! :up:

[The Spaz]

Won't happen:up:

[That Guy]

Way to deflate their hopes:up:

What if anything Brown will play with some of the 1st string no way will the starters be out there long enough for J.P. to play with them.

[That Guy]

Well as I said earlier, I agree.. I could see Losman playing the entire second half though, or all of it except for Zolman's two minutes at the end.

[Mr. Cynical]

Won't happen:up:

Unfortunately for the success of the Bills, you are right. :sigh:

[The Spaz]

If you want success you don't start rookie QB's. Anyway this is preseason we are doing it no different then any other NFL team.

[Mr. Cynical]

If you want success you don't tart rookie QB's. Anyway this is preseason we are doing it no different then any other NFL team.

Except for the Giants.

As you said...and I agreed....there is no open competition for the QB spot. I think that is a mistake, you don't. That's cool.

But in this case we're talking what we'd like to see here, not what is going to happen. I would like to see what he can do with the 1st O and against the 1st D. If he did well, then the "oh he played against scrubs" argument goes away. Again, this is not going to happen, I know. But IMO it should because we know what Drew can do. We don't with JP and he should get a shot like Eli.

[That Guy]

But the Giants season is going to hell anyways... they know that whether they throw him to the fire or not, they're most likely to suck. As we all know, there's at least a winning team on paper here in Buffalo.

Peyton's first season... 3-13. Aikman's first season... 1-15. Usually, rookie quarterbacks (even ones with successful careers) fail miserably.

And look what happened in the following 2 years with those two examples:

Dallas
1989 1-15 (Aikman rookie year)
1990 7-9
1991 11-5

Indy
1998 3-13 (Peyton rookie year)
1999 13-3
2000 10-6

I'd rather bite the bullet now than wait and waste time. However, I'm still not convinced that it would be biting the bullet with JP instead of Drew. We dont' know because we haven't seen him with the 1st O against the 1st D.

[That Guy]

Well either way, it doesn't matter what he does in the preseason, we all know that Bledsoe is the starter. Also, if they feel like Losman would get eaten up by a 1st D at this point (he has bad footwork, stares down wideout etc...), why would you ruin his confidence in a meaningless preseason game? Let him cruise through the preseason unscathed, and we can talk about him on first O next year.

[BigZ]

I'd love to see JP get some quality time with the 1st string.

I also agree it won't happen because we need to find out if Brown can run the offence in case of an injury with Drew.

If Drew goes down, though, I'd really like us to bite the bullet and start JP. Not sure if that would happen or not.

But I don't want anything to happen to Drew

[Mr. Cynical]

But I don't want anything to happen to Drew

Nor do I. :smile:

I just want JP to get the chance to outplay him, and if he does, to bench Drew. But I don't want anything physically bad to happen to him. That's just wrong, especially with a guy like Drew.

Since when is reality "being able to tell the future" as you do in every post?

[Jayhawk]

I'd rather see this season Drew completly healthy and a Pro Bowl season. I don't want JP to see more than mop up action (when we blow out teams)

Dude, give it a rest. You obviously just want to pick a fight, and I'm not going for it.

im not picking a fight but you seem to want to pick fights with all of us with optimistic hopes by putting stuff like that in your signature.
