McFarland Was On Bills' Radar: Many thought that when the Colts traded for DT Anthony McFarland from the Bucaneers that he would have been a great fit for the Bills. He did play in the Tampa 2 which the Bills defense is based on. As it turns out, according to a report from the Sporting News, the Bills were interested in him. The report says the Bills were looking at trading Nate Clements to Tampa Bay for McFarland. When the trade fell through, the Bucs sent him to Indy for a 2nd round pick. The Bills would not part with such a high draft pick since there 2nd will be much higher then the Colts pick. They were probably willing to part with Clements since he is most definitely gone in the offseason as a free agent when they agreed to not use the franchise tag on him again. The Bills then went to plan B and traded for Anthony Hargrove who was in on two tackles in his Bills' debut yesterday.

Foolish Mistakes Kill Team: Dick Jauron talked to the media after yesterday's loss. He called it a long day and they continued to make foolish mistakes which they can't make against a good opponent. He said the roughing the passer call was an unbelievable play when they were still in the game. The long kick return also hurt them. They have to stop making the foolish mistakes and the coach took the blame. He said he has to do a better job getting to the guys and getting them ready. They also need to find a way to score points. They need to get over those hurdles and the bye week will give them an opportunity to step back a bit and get where they are going in a hurry. It will also allow them to allow the injuries to heal. There are things that J.P. Losman needs to do better like making quicker reads and getting rid of the ball faster. It isn't just J.P. though according to the coach, the team is really struggling on offense and they need to get some things figured out. The reason he started Aaron Merz instead of Duke Preston was because Preston took all his snaps this week at center because Melvin Fowler was hurt. He called this loss particularly disappointing because it was at home and because of what the fans have been through with the snow storm. He is sure Losman can't feel too confident right now since they've lost three straight. He still thinks the team works hard and just don't get it done on gameday and it is discouraging. He thought Terrence McGee made a lot of good plays and solid tackles in the game but took him out because he needed a break.

Losman Confidence Not Shaken: J.P. Losman began his post mortem press conference yesterday with a statement that said he is not hanging his head and hasn't lost confidence in his abilities despite the struggles he has had recently. He said he's frustrated and upset but he's ready to roll. He knows there are tough times to go through regardless who is at fault for the recent struggles. He knows it is a process and there are all kinds of factors going into the way they are playing. The team needs to stay together and do it for each other the QB said. He said the only thing he looks at it is himself and he will critique what he did wrong. He knows he has things to do to get things done, especially holding on to the football. On the interception, he said it looked like the right play but he needed to get it further outside and out quicker. The team will get next weekend off because of the bye and it gives them a chance to watch other teams, get a fire back in them. They are moving the ball but they need to play smarter football and figure out a way to punch it in the end zone. He said it starts with him since he has the ball in his hands on every play.
