QB Bills

Can't believe nobody mentioned his TD catch on that fake field goal against the Seahawks from a few years ago. (indistinct chatter)... Wait, who retired today? (more chatter)... You mean that was two different people?

Sorry Chris!

I'd feel a lot better knowing they were going to cut him anyway. Everyone here is assuming as much and I guess that is the logical conclusion but he was supposed to have been cut by a couple of new regimes previously. After some puzzling moves already (Nelson, Barnett), I'm skeptical.

I'm on board with this. In fact, they should go sign Patrick Willis too. Don't even let him play in the game Sunday in case he gets hurt. Just go do it right now. If the niners say he's still under contract, get Willis to tell them he was just kidding when he signed it.

Deadspin just put this out...if he was in on it, which I can't see how he couldn't have been, do you still want this guy? http://deadspin.com/5976517/manti-teos-dead-girlfriend-the-most-heartbreaking-and-inspirational-story-of-the-college-football-season-is-a-hoax

This franchise is a joke. In essence, this press conference was just to say "hey, its status quo here...ralph is not going to be calling the shots anymore though". Which he really hasn't in years anyway, according to most reports. I'm so sick of everyone praising this Brandon clown for being able to sell the Bills during this down time. He hasn't done anything. Newsflash: The Bills sell themselves. Its like narcotics for most of us. There's no way to prove this, but I don't think he's done anything to sell one more seat than would have been sold anyway. Every marketing gimmick they have is low rent and embarrassing. PSY as the half-time show? Have some dignity, for F's sake.

I would, in the small hope that he would one day finally put it all together. It sounds impossible now, I know, but just based on his likability factor I really wish he could be the guy we all wanted him to be. Stranger things have happened. Right?

The look on Fitzpatrick's face after the play pretty much shows that he didn't know it was 1st and 10. Meaningless play, yet no other play perfectly summarizes this year than that. What an embarrassment.

Another thing I always notice, and I think it was brought up by Collinsworth on NBC, is that anytime the Mannings yell "Omaha", its always checking into a run play. Another not so obvious example from our own team is when Stevie lines up in the backfield. He always goes in motion so they can line him up with a linebacker, and they ALWAYS throw to him. Hopefully Jeff Fisher isn't reading this.

I don't think he was good at all today. He was getting beat all game long. Luckily it was Henne back there and not someone more competent. Gilmore, on the other hand, had a great game. He seems to be getting better every week.

Yes, it will take a miracle, but I share your hope JohnnyGold. This team has enough talent to win out when you look at who's left on the schedule. The only thing that can stop them (and probably will) is coaching. Winning out is the hard part. But the help that is needed isn't inconceivable. I think if you assume one wild card spot goes to the Colts, catching the Steelers and Bengals is entirely possible.

the whole thing with this kids expecially took the sails out of his wind

no dolphins haiku? what are you talking about gotta win the game!

What about that 27 yard completion to Chandler? That was a bullet that even the announcer said barely changed trajectory. Granted, it's not the 50-60 yard bomb we are all clamoring for, but for the first time this season, I saw him throw a ball with some decent power. Why can't he do that more? That was a beauty of a throw. Its so frustrating knowing he has the arm to do that, yet when he goes to the sidelines, he floats everything.

I was expecting a reference to Talley or Bruce.

Very good point. As angry as we are about Stupor Mario's play so far, imagine how upset the guy who's paying him must be. (cue the tasteless ageist jokes)

I agree. I find that the closer I am to Buffalo, the worse I feel. So yesterday, I went into another room in my house that was geographically further away from the stadium and instantly felt better.

Ya, who can forget the time he And the time he And what about the time he

I guess I'm the small minority here, but I think FJ should still be the starter and get the bulk of the carries. Seeing what FJ did last year before he got hurt...I haven't seen a guy blend talent and desire like that in a Bills uniform in a very long time. I think once he gets back to being healthy, he'll get back to that level. I love what CJ brings to the table but I just don't think he can keep up this pace. He will get stopped for losses on runs where FJ will grind out 3 yards. Give me a guy who will get the tough yards in 3, 4, 5, 6 yard chunks over a guy who will have 1, 2 yard runs with the odd 20 yarder thrown in there. And even though FJ has fumbled twice recently, I don't necessarily trust the way CJ carries the ball. Maybe its because he's smaller, but I'm always worried he might fumble. Will sound crazy to the "what games are you watching?" crowd, but I think CJ should be the change of pace back, not Freddie.

hahahaha...dude, you are quickly becoming one of the best posters on here...keep up the good work

There's only one logical conclusion: He hurt his hand signing that extension last year and hasn't been the same since.

He could have been really great if he had any football sense at all. The guy's got a tonne of raw skill.

Was it just me or did it seem like there was an inordinate number of Bills fans at the stadium on Sunday? The crowd noise wasn't exactly a 50/50 split, but at times it felt like the Bills were the home team. Excellent job to those who attended. I really feel there are more Bills fans out there than people realize. There has to be more people like me (kids who grew up watching the great teams of the early 90s who are now in their football-watching prime) out there all over North America. If they ever got good again, we might see more old fans come out of the woodwork.

Maybe they should try him at QB next.

I still maintain that McGee was the best corner on the team last year. His game against the Giants was excellent. He seems to have lost a step this year though. His coverage isn't as tight as it used to be. Florence sucks.
