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!
r u kidding?
yeah, jp was very good today. but it was at home against a bad defense.
didn't any of y'all watch jp in the away games he started? what's the word that is opposite of poise? whatever it is, that's what he was.
if i want to win that game, what little chance they have, i'd start the veteran.
please save your petty insults. i can't wait until jp is ready to start tough games on the road. that time is not now.
Because the QB who couldn't guide his team to a SINGLE FIRST DOWN in a quarter and a half at home against a bad defense is such a better choice. Wake up and smell the coffee.

If the Bills do start JP next week, he has to start for the rest of the year no matter what happens, good or bad. They can not start playing musical quarterbacks. I was happy with his play today, but my question is, can he keep it up? Like someone said, it was at home and against a very bad pass defense. Also, after those two touchdowns, he didn't do too much else. On the flip side, he did not have to, so I am good with it. I don't think it is quite a no brainer, but there is a solid argument for starting him. We will see next week at San Diego how much wiser JP really is from his time off.
KC's pass defense ranking was irrelevant today; remember how bad our o-line is. KC threw the sink at him, and he did a good job of avoiding sacks while running for his life. Both TD passes were perfect execution into good coverage.

If Holcomb had played well before he got hurt I could understand the other sides arguement but he did'nt. He looked like crap against a bad D, holding the ball to long and he freaking fumbles almost everytime he gets sacked. This team will go just as far with JP as it will with Holcomb

omg
dude, you have a serious "i'm with stupid" tatoo on your forehead now
a) holcomb had a top efficiency rating going into this game
b) the ol was pass blocking like girl scouts on weed
c) he had no chance on his sack/fumble
don't worry. the tatoo will fad in a couple months. until then, you're wearin'
i am very concerned about the pass blocking for next week, though
that's one thing jp definitely brings to the table compared to holcomb. jp is absolutely fantastic at avoiding the rush, getting out of jams, and getting the ball to an open man. he's really gifted in that part of the game so it's not even a comparison.
and, btw, those were two terrific throw/catch combos by him and evans. very sharp throw, very sticky-handed catches.
but don't underestimate the importance of a veteran qb presence on the road. holcomb hasn't been in triple-digit rating territory for nuthin. where i think jp would wilt under the pressure of a big game on the west coast right now, it wouldn't phase holcomb, at least on a relative scale.
i know they won't do it, but i'd have no problem starting jp at home and holcomb on the road the rest of the way. seems like that could kill several birds with one stone.
a hugely encouraging performance by the superstar in waiting. but it's not soup yet.
Shouldn't it be Who should start next week: JP or SM I don't think Holcomb will be ready he didn't look to good walking off the field after the sack he took. He was seeing 's or little birdies like in the cartoons. Ride the kid out for the rest of this season let him learn!
