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!
Unless you don't care about the future, just a meaningless win.
As soon as it became apparent that we sucked this year -- quite a long time ago -- then every game became a preseason game for 2006. We're no better off today than yesterday.

PS: Competition in training camp next year for starting quarterback job is the way to go.
Great post! It feels good doesn't it? (except to our resident armchair GM's I guess) You play to win right? I myself will take a win anytime it comes along... with arms wide open.
And as for your PS, if there isn't a competition next preseason, someone needs to be beheaded. Losman has shown nothing to secure his job as the starter.
That is all. Merry Christmas to everyone and GO BILLS NEXT WEEK AGAINST THE JETS! WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO hoooo
It seems that only smart fans know the real value of Kelly Holcomb.
He was arguably the best off-season move this year.
It's just insane how people are still claiming to sacrifice wins for hopefulness.

so what you're saying is we have no QB. Holcomb's old and can be counted on to not lose games but won't win too many. If JP isn't capable of starting, this team needs to be looking for a QB.

Ive siad I wish we would lose out for a high pick and I have mixed emotions about todays win I dont want to seem like a flip flopper who switches sides on topics but todays win proved to me JP is right for the job. This kid is a blessing after the QBs weve had the last few years. DB was descent but IMO JP will eventually be better than him. So I guess we should enjoy the victory no matter which side of the fence were on and take pride in todays win.
Let's let all our FA's go and we can get some comp picks. Then fill out the roster with scrubs so we can get the top pick in the draft again. Repeat the process for a few more years and we'll be in great shape.

You have been saying it all year but you have to ask yourself "is Holcomb the future" the answer is NO. Until you realize that JP is the future of this team the better off we all will be, because we then don't have to read this crap anymore. Do you really think that the "KID" got a real chance this year? He needed to play every game win or lose, good or bad. That's the only way he will get better. He has to play and play and play. I still say that he will some day take this team to the Superbowl.

based on what?
Point out ONE GAME this year in which Holcomb started, and played badly?
Hell, look at his stats.
You're right, I am a coward! I haven't any courage at all. I even scare myself.

Hes obviously not the future, but can he get this team to the playoffs? I think so.
Can he get us to the Superbowl? Who knows.

Just like you said about Nate huh, yet again. Burned for 11 catches against 3 recievers. I made sure to keep track this time so there would be no debate.
Holcomb played better then JP. So?
Holcomb is a career backup and isnt the answer. SO if your simply stating that Holcomb is currently playing better then JP........uhhh cool I guess. Holcomb isnt going to lead this team to the playoffs, and he certainly isnt the QB of the future. So while ill take a Bills win any day of the week......I agree this was nothing more then a glorified pre-season game.
There is a reason this guy rode the pine for 9 seasons or however long his been in the NFL. JP bailed him out against KC. Big deal. Im not advocating one QB over the other, Im simply saying your argument with Holcomb is as silly as the arguments you claim to be silly are for JP.
