    What does it say as Bills fans...

    when people want to turn the keys over to a guy that was not even in a training camp 4 weeks ago and the league left for dead...For the next three games I'll live and die with Drew...There was a reason Matthews was out of football...just like there was a reason Van Pelt was out of football until Flutie got hurt...




    For all the education and practice each of us undergoes, the achievment of mastery is ultimately the outcome of a personal quest for understanding.

    Fine, live and die with him for another 3 weeks. And if we are 0-5, Drew is still playing like a QB with zero confidence and the O is struggling to put 10 points on the board?

    The problem is, Football is the only sport where you don't bench a player who is not playing well. If this were hockey and he was a goalie or any player for that matter, you'd stick him on the bench for a game or two. Same thing in Baseball and Basketball. But in football, for some reason it's unheard of to take your starting QB out of the game.
    Resign our own guys!

    One reason and one reason only. In football you only have 16 games. You don't do wake up calls in football. You don't do shake up the lineup moves in football. Each game is too precious. Yes Precioussssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss.

    Well then if you go by that thinking, you wasting precious games by playing a slumping player.


    It's kinda thinking out of the box.

    Maybe someone from the Zone can start against the Pats.

    Why settle for Matthews? I'm sure there's tons of good QBing talent here at the Zone. Any number of people can do better for us than Drew. Just ask them.

    I would rather have Zolman play as opposed to Bledsoe. I gave the guy the benefit of the doubt, but he is the same idiot who gets sacked 100 times a game, fumbles every other sack, and can't get our team to move the sticks.

    Yea its pretty pathetic how a journeyman quarterback can perform just as well as a "potential" hall of famer.


    Im all for Matthews starting. Smarter, more mobile, and quicker to make decisions than Bledsoe.
    You're right, I am a coward! I haven't any courage at all. I even scare myself.

    Now you're going to be accused of thinking you could be a better QB than Bledsoe by Drews lovecrew.

    I'm not a Shane Matthews advocate either, but please explain to me how he could possibly do any worse?

    What does it say about our offense when we've put up 10 points in each of 2 games, are completely healthy, and supposedly have our best players on the field?

    How much worse can an offense possibly be?

    That could quite possibly be the last thing I heard a Dolphin say just before halftime of the Fish opener last week.

    "Let's put Feeley in. I can't possibly see how he could be worse."
    Good beef jerkey could possibly be the perfect food.
