I agree!

I agree

My thoughts, the NEW and IMPROVED Bledsoe, will reak havic on the Jaguars Defense. It would surprise me if we see a Brady-esk performance from Bledsoe in Week #1

Just my humble opinion is all
:gobills: :cheers: :beers:

In game one, I see (black and white)...

the good
Bledsoe having a superb day. The Bills pound it with Henry and McGahee for a shocking 203 yards combined. Moulds and Reed/Evans will bring down a touchdown reception each. Schobel will earn his $7mil signing bonus and get 2 sacks and Pat Williams will say 'shhow me the money' with an interception for a TD. Spikes gets a sack, so does Kelsay. Leftwich, gets sacked and hurried so can't find his recievers and we might get a lucky INT.
Jags 6
Bills 36

the bad
Offensive line falls apart. We see one of our RBs go down and we think all might be lost for the season without our 2-headed monster. Aiken/Shaw gets hurt and Teague goes down. Defense has a good outing, still gives the Jags offense some trouble. Bledsoe will be bad Bledsoe if the line doesn't hold up. Look for someone to be made a hero on Jacksonville - most likely a defensive player. One of the Bills RBs will be the only ones to score a TD for Buffalo.
Jags 19
Bills 13



My overall feeling
GOOD - 77%
BAD - 23%

I think the Bills got this one. We are going to look great out there.

Byron and Drew are the same QB.

Except that Leftwich is a rookie just cutting his teeth in the NFL, his numbers should improve with experience.

You can't compare a rookie QB to a 12-year vet. To do a fair comparison, you should compare their rookie seasons:

Leftwich (2003): 239-for-418 (57.2%), 2,819 Yds (6.7 Yds/Att), 14 TD, 16 Int, 73.0 QB Rating

Bledsoe (1993): 214-for-429 (49.9%), 2,494 Yds (5.8 Yds/Att), 15 TD, 15 Int, 65.0 QB Rating

Me thinks Arm Palm has way too much time on his hands. Dude you need to wake your ass up LOL :loser: !

[TigerJ]

Leftwich is still a young QB. He's one of the few in the NFL who is taller than Drew, and only marginally more mobile. The biggest difference might be Leftwich's sore thumb which could affect his accuracy.

[NapalmDeath]

The crowd is going to play a big factor in this game. If Jax can shut us up early, its anyone's game but, If Jax can't shut us up... Way different story. 12th man will help the Bills here. No way I am going home with a voice.

[The_Philster]

If you go home with a voice, you were slacking off anyway :cynic:

[Throne Logic]

The big difference in the way these stats look is this: They're not bad for a first year starter. They are horrible for a 10 year veteran.

Well then compare Bledsoes rookie numbers to Leftwiches.

OK. They aren't as good.
