Are you happy with Losmans first game?

[Tatonka]

i see a lot of *****ing on the boards about how 300 yards of offense isnt enough.. about Losman only throwing one TD.. about the offense getting field goals instead of TDs.. about the offense slowing down in the 2nd half..

I also see a lot of praise for the kid like he threw for 300 yards and 4 tds..

I am definately very excited.. and i am not going to even put a "cautiously" next to that.. i loved what i saw.. i think he will get better, but i think he looked incredible for his first game out there.. and i am one of the many who had HIGH expectations for his first game, which was probably overdoing it for what you normally get from a 1st time starter.

IMHO, the kid did what he needed.. his mistakes didnt hurt us.. and the most important thing is.. we got the win as a total team effort.. offense, defense, and special teams.

so i want to see where everyone stands.. Are you happy with the play of Losman right now.. yes or no.

Without a doubt! I like everything I've seen so far. He makes quick reads, has a great arm, and has a great feel for sensing the pass rush.

As long as he doesn't develope any bad habits and improves his decision making (done through experience), I can't see him hurting us in the long run at all.

I was happy with his play and with the added dimension he brings into our offense that Drew never could.

I'm interested in seeing how Gandy fares in this game against TB. If the line plays well this game also, I see JP having a good year. In my opinion, JP's play level is going to depend alot on how the line performs. If he's pressured and forced, he's going to make mistakes that cost us. If the line holds, JP can usually handle a stray blitzer with his mobility and for the most part should make the team pay.

JP was poised, confident and decisive. He threw well and ran effectively, and could have had bigger numbers if we had not shut it down somewhat in the second half.

He was error-free in his first start and we won by 15 points. What's not to love?

[STAMPY]

He won, all i care about

shame not everyone can see it that way.

I loved what i saw his numbers werent as good in the second half because they had such a good lead they call alot of conservative plays mostly. My expectations were so high on J.P that i benched Peyton for him in my fantasy league.

If our D continues to force turnovers in our opponents territory, our O would be lucky to even get 200 yards a game!

[MarvLevy]

WE DID AN EXCELLENT JOB!

[Kerr]

I'm thrilled. I hope it keeps it up.

Let's not go overboard!!!

I was happy with his play. Yes he made a couple of bad throws but he threw no interceptions all game and he will get better he seems to work hard at not making the same mistake over and over. overall I am happy with him and he will get better.

[LifetimeBillsFan]

I was very pleased. For his first NFL start, I thought he showed a great deal of poise and leadership. As I saw it, he only made one bad throw (the near INT) all game--what more can you from your QB? You had veterans like J.Plummer and C.Pennington who didn't play as well as JP did the first time out of the gate.

Does that mean that he won't have some bad games, that he doesn't still have a lot to learn, that he can't play better? Of course he will, he has and he can! But, for his first start, JP did extremely well--a lot better than some QBs who are in the HOF.

Now, I'm not about to book tickets to the Super Bowl or a hotel room in Detroit for the game just yet, but I'm encouraged enough to feel that, even if he has a couple of bad games where he makes some "rookie mistakes", nevertheless. JP is ultimately going to be a good one with a real shot to lead the Bills to a title.

Now, I just hope that he remembers where he put the rest of those Ambien pills...just in case he has a hard time sleeping in Tampa or before any of the remaining games on the Bills' schedule!

Considering that he had his first NFL start, and obviously very he kind of Raw in general, I will say that I loved his performance.

He will have some growing pains, but until this growing pains doesn´t affect on our score board to loose games, we will be ok

Just let him learn and base all our hopes on the D.

[The_Philster]

Did I like what I saw? yes
Am I satisfied with him playing at that level all season long?no...I expect him to increase his level of play and I have confidence he will do just that

As far as the win, I felt he had a big hand in it...but no player wins or loses a game on his own

[Mad Bomber]

I was happy with what I saw. He played an essentially mistake-free game (with the exception of the near-interception). He was decisive, and his mobility is a HUGE plus.

Just like Big Ben in Pissburgh last year, JP needs to play solid, not stellar QB. In other words, we need him not to LOSE games.

It was a great start, and I'm looking forward to him getting better as the year goes on.

[BleedinGreenNC]

I think he did great for you guys in his first game, i think he is going to do great things for your franchise. Granted there may have been a couple of mistakes, but it was his first start. I wish the Jets were in the position that your in. Good luck with him, with Willis in the backfield, that makes for a great tandem. Wait until they really gel with each other, then lookout!

dont ever.. ever.. EVER do that again.
