ya, he hasnt been good, but someone dropped evans, and i picked him up, i think it's worth it, give losman a bit, and i think hell be real good, by the end of the season he'll be just fine.
His only real problem has been trying to make things happen with his feet. He buys time for 5 extra seconds but nothing happens. He gets drilled for a 15 yards loss.
He also looked deep to Moulds 4 times during the game on plays that would have gone 40+. The first one was underthrown, the next 2 were overthrown, and the final one was a pass placed beautifully in the hands of Moulds, but was knocked out of his hands (thought it should have been interference).
And it took him 76 passes this season to throw his first pick. Didnt throw one last week against a stingy Tampa D, and he threw this one late in the game today against a solid Atlanta D. He had Sam Aiken wide open, and (I forget who it was) just kind of came out of nowhere and stepped in front of it.
I think Losman will end up being fine if he learns when and when not to throw the ball away, and if that offensive line does anything and stays healthy. Mike Williams did miss the game, and Villarial took a couple of plays off during several series.

I seem to recall another QB having an awful first 6 or 7 games in his first starts after riding the pine his rookie year. Oh yeah, Carson Palmer.
Dude, he's a rookie. He's going to have trouble adjusting to the NFL in his first few football games. It was, and should've been expected that Moulds and Evans wouldn't do as well this year with Losman at the helm. Growing pains, you can't avoid them. Even McNabb had a horrible start when he got his first game experience. There's no way you can compare that to the ineptitude of guys like Joey Harrington, who's got 3 years experience.
The Bills really should think about a change while the season is still in the balance. Holcomb is the back-up, no? Scarey, but he should be able to give the ball to Willis and make the simple passes that keep drives alive.
I think, therefore I am. I think fantasy, therefore I am unreal?
