    Did the Bills hang on and win. If so good for them but I will lose all respect(if I had any at all) for Bills fans and TKO if he comes back and talks trash to the Dolphin fans here on this site. Especially after running like a little puppy.

    Yeah they won it well. Turning to Kelly H could be a good thing. Their defense was good today too

    Holcombs is alright for a QB, he is a lot better than losman. But i bet you the Bills wished they had Bledsoe still

    You know what, I never had your respect, and nor do I care for it - you know how I am, so why don't you just get over it.

    Yeah, I'm a homer SO WHAT.

    Maybe I'm a fairweather fan - if your definition of a fairweather fan is one who doesn't even check to see whether or not his team won or not when they played - then I'm not - because I do find out every week whether or not my team won or not.

    I'm still gonna post on here, I'm just gonna ignore this crap from now on. None of you know me, and you could probably never even hope to really know me (not without meeting me in person) - it's pretty lame that you have to make assumptions and accusations when you don't. So whatever - I'm gonna continue to laugh at you guys when my bills beat your teams and to me, that's far more satisfying then anything you guys can feel out of harrassing me for being wrong about a prediction about a player for a team that none of you like.

    Why is it so hard for you guys to grasp the concept that maybe, just maybe Bledsoe wasn't meant to be the Bills QB - from what I've seen out of Holcombe, he has just as much pocket presence as Bledsoe, maybe a weaker arm, but he's great in the short passing game, and can make some decent long throws as well - see the 24 yard pass to Neufeld I think it was on one of our last drives against the Jets.

    Every Bills board that I've been too, very few people mention him - which would tell anyother person that maybe we're not missing him. Hoclombe's so much more cap friendly too.

    You wanna talk about respect Porky - why did you change your sig and avatar from your favorite NFL team to a college team when your team still sucked - I didn't get rid of Losman in my avatar, because I still believe he can be my team's franchise QB, he's just gonna be a project player for another year who will only see time late in games after we've put a team away (much like last year).

    Talk about fairweather fans - it's way way too early to throw the towel in on any teams other then the Texans.

    Particularly in the East when I've seen my team go from first to last in a matter of a week, and then back up to first the next time and time again - even when we had the colts in our division still.

    I think if you read between the TKO bashing, you will realize that the majority around here thought three things.

    1. Losman needed to have his chance to start.
    2. He would not be as good as Bledsoe this year.
    3. Holcombe was never part of the discussion, so he can't be used to rationalize the debate now.

    What was so hard for most people on this forum to grasp was your various comments that Losman was better than Bledsoe now.

    If Bledsoe was riding the bench behind Losman this year, he would be starting now (as is Holcombe). If your Bills board friends cannot admit this, then my sympathy for the bad boards. Whether you are better off or not without Bledsoe was not as big of an argument as whether Losman is a better QB now or not.

    Most people here did not expect Losman to take the team over the top. IMO, if you played Losman all year, you were going to trade a subpar year this year for the future. At 1-3, that sure looked like the case. Holcombe appears to be doing a decent job so far, and I think he's a serviceable QB. However, having Holcombe start is not part of the "Plan A" that was developed in getting rid of Bledsoe. This was more panic Plan B.

    the problem with the Bills trying to start a young inexperienced QB now is that they are a good team RIGHT NOW. The fact that they wanted to throw the season away trying to get Losman in is absurd. As they showed all they need is a solid QB to win and Holcomb definatly is that solid QB. McGahee will always get yards and despite the loss of Spikes they are a great defense. I just didnt understand why they would try and look to the future now when they have such a good team with such potential
