HAY LUK GUYS! WE"RE 16 1/2 PT UNDERDAWGS TO TEH PATRIOTS!
Yeah...life sucks. Do you supposed USC would whoops us pretty bad too?
First, the defense is banged-up, but that's not all. Ever since Pat Williams left for the Vikings, the defense has gone downhill. The running defense which was at one point one of the best in the NFL now has become one of the worst. Also, the loss of Clements, Spikes, and Fletcher doesn't make things any better.
Next, the coaching. They don't know how to coach, other than special teams coach. I mean, 3rd and 5 vs. Broncos and Losman tries a hail mary, leading by 2 points? Seriously. And they're not even trying the running game much. Lynch can be good, but they need to keep busting him through the line and eventually he'll break free.
Finally, there's Losman himself. He's throwing poorly. The O-line was supposed to be better this year, but it's still more of the same. Losman is making bad decisions, and his passes are poor. The Bills better pray to god they can win a game just before the bye week. For me, I better look forward to the Leafs season (yes, I live in Buffalo and support the Toronto Maple Leafs!)

Its all JP Losman's fault. He;s played in over 30 games which is plenty enough time to become proficient in an offense. If he was good, he would have made his receivers better. I'm tired of everyone making excuses that he has a bad line, bad receivers, bad running backs, etc. While the players around him aren't that great, the blame needs to start being placed on him more. Hell, the guy even flat out blamed the media for the teams offensive struggles.The guy has nothing but a big inaccurate arm. He's a disgrace to the bills, unworthy to wear the bills uniform, and unworthy to play the position that the great Jim Kelly played. I hate the guy with a passion. If he was laying in the middle of the road about to get ran over by a truck, I'd make no attempt to save him. He is the only player that I would be happy to see have a major injury such as a torn ACL/MCL. The Bills need to look in the first round of the draft next year for a replacement. They could of had Matt Leinart or Jay Cutler a few years back to challenge him, but NOOOOOOO. Seeing as how the Bills have been committed to Failure and to being the worst team in the league over the past few years, I expect them to sign Losman for the rest of his career though. Without a doubt, for as many games as he has played in the Bills system, LOSMAN IS THE WORST STARTING QB IN THE NFL. While other QBs like Harrington, Huard, and Carr may suck just as bad, they haven't played as many games in one system as Losman has. With as much experience as he has, he should be much better: but, he isn't, because he SUCKSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

In large part because we continue to hire coaching staffs who step in with big egos, with their own pre-conceived notions of how to run a football team. They come in and install THEIR scheme, regardless or whether or not it fits the personnel, and then go about reconfiguring the team to fit this scheme, but they always fail. This keeps happening ad nauseam.
In this case, Fairchild refuses to let Losman be Losman and wants to force him to play like a stock pocket passer. He's accurate on the move and has good speed for a QB. He has his accuracy problems, but when he was given an open offense last year, it turned out pretty well. If they aren't going to let him play, they should just cut/trade him and let him go somewhere where he'll get to play, and just start ruining Edwards already...

You need a good offense, defense, special teams, and coaches to win games. The Bills are missing some key pieces.

"Two words.....Scott Norwood! That easy-yet-missed-by-a-mile field goal at Super Bowl XXV is what placed a curse over Ralph Wilson Stadium. "
Easy? 47 yards on grass? Talk about a brain-dead answer...47 yards is no gimme...even for someone with a strong leg...something Scott didn't have

The GM is senile, the starting QB is terrible. The head coach has no clue. Have you ever been to Buffalo? In the winter it's cold, dismal and ugly. In the summer it's hot, humid and ugly.
