Great card for handicappers this week. With all the field-goal-or-lower spreads, we're picking winners mainly. And the matchups look real even to me with so many better teams on the road. So far I like these sides: Philadelphia, Tampa Bay, San Francisco, Arizona, Jacksonville, Buffalo, St. Louis, and Houston.
The Bills really screwed up with the demotion of Losman, I think. They traded up for that guy last year; why do that and then get weak-kneed when he struggles early? Eli Manning was a dog for what, at least six games. How long did it take Carson Palmer to play well? Not everyone can be Ben Roethlisberger; at the very least, the Bills should play Losman from the start and yank him at the first sign of suckitude. He was real good in the opening drive last week. Put him on a low pitch count and have your Brian Meadows (Kelly Holcomb) prepared for long relief.
Kelly Holcomb is like that donut in the back of your car. You can put him on and go about fifty miles, but the Bills can't regard him as some kind of solution. That said, I think the Bills are poised for real success this week, Losman or Holcomb. By pulling Losman from a game which figures to go their way, Holcomb will get the glory and their QB troubles will be set in stone, Cleveland-style, faster than you can say Tim Couch.
