Bills concerned about offense?
J.P. Losman has the benefit of a Tulane education, but he still has a confusing way of getting his point across.
We talked about it with Steve (Fairchild) in practice the other day. We said, 'We're better than we thought we were going to be, but we're not as far along as we thought we would be.' So it's kind of contrasting right now. We're not as sharp as we want to be, but we are better than we thought we could be. That is a dangerous thing, so we do need our coaches to stay on us and harp on us all the time to not let us slack and players need to own up and take that responsibility on themselves as well.
It's not a good sign if Losman feels that Buffalo's execution isn't matching their talent. Because their talent level isn't that great. Dick Jauron mentioned recently that the Buffalo offense is running out of time to get in gear, especially their running game.
Buffalo made a lot of noise upgrading their offensive line this offseason, but free agent imports are rarely a cure-all. Great offensive lines are created more often through development and coaching. And ask Oakland fans if Langston Walker is a solution. Even Derrick Dockery has been called the fifth best lineman on Washington last year.
Other than Lee Evans, the entire Bills offense screams mediocre. As a Marshawn Lynch owner, I hope I'm wrong.

I have a bad feeling Marshawn Lynch will follow JJ Arrington's footsteps in terms of Cal RBs in the NFL. Be afraid.

As a Raider fan, I can tell you walker is not the answer. Flashed at times, but mostly a liability. Good luck with that.

Marshawn Lynch runs hard. He will be better then willis was last year. The O-line is at least as good if not better then last year. But that still is not saying much. Marshawn is at least a #3 back and may be much may. JP always sounds like that.

Marshawn did NOTHING this pre-season. I kept an eye on him and didn't like what I saw.

Losman always talks like that?
he must be a stoner - that's the same type of incoherent babbling i often wound up spewing when i got caught smoking grass as a teenager.
"no, uh, i was just out here uh, i mean, yeah, we're going to the store. no we werent smoking. the smell? oh, that's uh, the air conditioning. i mean, the neighbors are grilling. i mean the dog just crapped - er, wait, no! i just smoked a cigarette. yeah, that's it. a cigarette."

Lynch is beat! Plain and simple. He has the toughest schedule I have ever seen or atleast close 2 it. He has a bad offensive line. Only 1 recieving threat in the passing game so they will not open up hole to often. Look at schedule and that will say it all! I would not draft him. As I see them leaning more on thomas with that schedule. I know everyone does not like willis but he is going to have a big season with the ravens. He has the second easiest schedule in the league. Also the have an offensive line and run alot. Also he will be running out the games with any easy schedule that should be alot of yards and td's. Schedule is a very important part of fantasy success. That is why lynch is beat and willis will shine!
