    Bills Evans backs QB Losman; still embarrassed by Monday night collapse

    One issue is quarterback now that Losman is expected to resume practicing this week, and should be cleared to play when Buffalo hosts Baltimore on Oct. 21.
    Some people wonder whether the Bills should stick with rookie Trent Edwards, who has helped the offense perform better while starting the past two games.
    With Edwards the Bills produced a season-best 304-yard, two-touchdown performance in a 17-14 win over the New York Jets two weeks ago. He was less effective against the Cowboys, Monday night, but still helped Buffalo control the clock by producing four drives of 35 yards or longer.
    In two starts, Edwards has helped the offense produce two touchdowns, 411 yards passing and 33 first downs.
    By comparison, Losman had 251 yards passing, one touchdown drive and 23 first downs in his first two games before he was hurt in a 38-7 loss to New England in Week 3.
    Coach Dick Jauron has left the quarterback question open, saying every job is up for grabs and the best player will start once Losman's healthy.

      Frankly, as much as I like Lee Evans, I 'm a bit disinclined to listem to him at this point.

        I think that Losman is owed one last chance to fight for his job. If he blows it, then he's done as QB of the Buffalo Bills and Trent Edwards is the starter. I give him 2-4 weeks.

          OF COURSE EVANS IS GOING TO SAY THAT!

          Edwards spreads the ball around!
          JP goes mainly to Evans!

          You shut down Evans, you shut down JP!

          Most players care about themselves first, then the team.
          Evans is frustrated from the loss and for the fact he hardly touched the ball, again.

          Evans, if you want it enough.. you will get the ball through effort. That long ball from Trent is an example that comes to mind.

              JP has ruined Evans big payday.

                Y'all may have noticed i quoted what Jauron said, not what Lee Evans said.
                It's quite noncommital, don't you think?

                  Not necessarily...but I understand your point.

                  I think Lee needs to look in the mirror, and do what he can to play better.

                  No matter who's passing him the ball.

                  Is it just me, or are the biggest egos on the field owned mostly by wide receivers?

                    From watching interviews with him, I never really got the sense that Evans was that arrogant...do you guys really think he has an agenda here other than trying to a win a football game? After two games of Trent, I don't think a clear starter stands out...they both have their ups and downs.

                    TE = conservative O with success on moving the ball...3 TD drives

                    JP = aggressive, big play potential O with little success...1 TD drive

                    To me, I like the fact that we've seen less 3 and outs with TE at the helm, but who's to say that a playcalling change hasn't had an effect on that?

                      Conservative gameplan with a conservative QB = FG's... Aggressive gameplan with a conservative QB = INT's.

                      Conservative gameplan with an aggressive QB = FG's... Aggressive gameplan with an aggressive QB = TD's.

                      The common denominator to no success is conservative gameplanning.

                      JP gets his job back... Hopefully the OC changes it up or the result will remain the same.

                            Lee is traded after this season for a 2nd round pick IMHO

                              Evans just needs to shut up and play. I'm sure he's just as frustrated as everyone else, but it's not really his place to say who should, or shouldn't be the starting QB.
