Did CJ have any movement?

Just anounced it's a head injury. Movement in all extremities.

Good news as far as I'm concerned

Agreed, you'd hope at worst it's a concussion.

Thanks for the update.Not nearly as important but down 12, the Bengals opt to throw every pass over the middle?!?

 

[Bills Fan]

I don't think he ever recovered from hitting the ground hard earlier in the game...

I have a feeling the earlier hit he took when he was shoved out of bounds and landed head first has something to do with this hit. Both shots to the head, most likely a concussion. Possibly had a slight one earlier and worsened with this hit. He was out of it after the first hit he took, barely running, seemed to be having a hard time.

 

[QuizGuy66]

What's the record for different players getting a catch in one game? 19 different players have caught a pass in this one.

*sigh* 2-6

"Who needs to debate the Bills' revolving door at quarterback when Marshawn Lynch showed he can effectively fill two positions?

The rookie running back threw a touchdown pass and ran for another on consecutive fourth-quarter possessions, sparking Buffalo's popgun attack in a 33-21 win over the Cincinnati Bengals on Sunday....

He was as effective as J.P. Losman, who put up big numbers but lacked finish in attempting to win back his starting job.

Losman went 24-of-34 for 295 yards with a touchdown and interception in making his first start in five weeks. He was filling in for rookie Trent Edwards, who sprained his right hand in a 13-3 win at the New York Jets last week.

Losman's problem is the same that plagued Edwards so far this season. Against Cincinnati, after Lee Evans caught an 8-yard touchdown pass on the opening possession, the Bills settled for four field goals on four trips inside the Bengals 20 before Lynch took over."

http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/recap?gameId=271104002Once again Losman is bashed. For those of you that saw the game, do you agree with ESPN? I think Losman did very well. The offense moved the ball and looked good for once. Losman made a couple of stupid throws, but who doesn't? He made many more good throws to more than make up for it. And the offense's woes in the red zone... how can you blame that on Losman? I haven't checked the play by play but I'd have to say we ran it about 80% inside the redzone, if not more.

Thoughts?

Ryan Leaf would have put those numbers up on this Bengal defense, so I wouldn't get too excited about Losman's performance today.

Losman's fault? Or is the problem the conservative playcalling? I'd go with the latter..

Doubtful. And after what Losman did last season (#11 QB Rating, #13 yardage, #11 TDs, #11 Yards/Attempt, #9 completion %) and last week (saved them against the Jets leading them to two scores and nearly a 3rd if Parrish doesn't drop a pass right in his arms), I don't think he should have to worry about his job.
