i vote for beck

as depleted as this team was on the Oline, you gotta give Beck alot of props. He was shaky in the first half, but came out blazing in the second. And let’s not forget about all the dropped balls and gaffney getting the ball stripped, giving away 3 pts. can’t say what he’ll look like from here on out, but i don’t think a top rated QB could have great games with the way the injuries are.

Not to defend Beck

as I don’t think he’s particularly good, and one game is too small a sample size to make an evaluation, but I think a big part of the change was the play calling.

First half they were calling very tight, calling the handicapped offense they installed to minimize opportunities for the QB to make turnovers. Second half they opened it up more. I don’t think Troy Aikman would look all that fantastic in the handicapped offense.

I don’t think he was all that bad Sunday, they just handcuffed him the first half.
I’m also looking forward to seeing Paul get more snaps on passing downs on offense. He’s going to come out of our last draft as the best wide out of the 3 we drafted.

I didn't think we were going to win last week, but I do think we're going to win this week.

If you’ve ever watched the Bills play in Toronto, it’s pitiful. There is basically no vibe in the stadium what so ever and those crazy Canucks just root for everyone. Also Buffalo is coming off a bye so I think they may be a little rusty and have lost most of their positive momentum. I just think we need to set the tempo of this game and we’ll come out on top.

I also think we beat San Francisco. It’s in DC and I think they are a bit of a farce.

I’ve said 7-9 from the beginning. At this point the Giants win charted a little better trajectory for the season. I hate doing this, but I think we win the next two, then get tripped up Miami, beat Dallas, lose @ Seattle, go 1-1 against the Pats/Jets, and then beat Minny. So 8-8.
