These fines/flags drive me crazy. Didn't Byrd have a perfect tackle on OchoCinco during that Pats* game we won that he got a personal foul for?

Yeah, I loved that video. DM had a biggun in there for sure.

Is that gatorade bottle a spitter? I love his amusement at the whole thing.

Naturally. I'm a bills fan. I do think that this week's game was a real opportunity for EJ to get a ton of quality reps. I hope you guys are right and it's just a drain.

I could not be more shocked. This next game was huge for him. Ugh I'm beside myself.

Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu(k

I agree, I think EJ will (and should) be named the starter. It seems the NFL would also like to see the rookie start. This video shows only Kolb incompletions/interception, followed by Manuel's plays (which were almost entirely good): http://www.nfl.com/videos/nfl-game-highlights/0ap2000000230995/Pre-week-2-Kolb-and-Manuel-highlights Kind of funny they didn't include any of Kolb's completions.

I still don't entirely understand why we cut Stahovich

Not. Until. It's over.

I lobbied for him all last year. He is talented.

EJ impressions: First few drives: internal clock a bit too sped up. Made the right reads (except for one play that still should have been a completion), but the throws were more sped up (and hence, slightly off target) than they should have been. Next drive: Pocket presence much better. You better believe someone just told him to calm down a bit. He listened. 2-min drill: Not much needs to be said. He was great. Takeaway: I want him to start. He has a very quick release (sometimes, too quick). Hopefully it will mask our LG spot.

Some very nice plays. Woods over the middle and the TD throw were great.

Is that sarcastic? I think our inside run defense has been pretty poor.

Buffalo is awesome. While I was born here (currently on my annual pilgrimage to Buffalo), I grew up in a surf town on the California coast and live in the Bay Area now. Places people often think of as 'hip' or 'cool' towns. Every time I come back to Buffalo I'm struck by how fantastic it is. Beauty, history, activities - I have a phenomenal time (as does my girlfriend from out West) whenever I'm back. I think it just has an undeserved reputation by those who haven't spent time here.

We know that EJ thought Woods was going to come inside when he turned out.

always look forward to these notes

Perhaps. Though Marquise has impressed the hell out of me. As for the OLine, I'm tremendously worried about it, and am convinced it will be our weakest unit all year. I'm concerned it will damage EJ's development.

OLine is far and away the most concerning group for me. I'm fully in support of finding a way to bring in a vet.

I though Marrone was direct and professional. I wouldn't have asked the "so is he excused?" question if I were JW, but I'm not, so I suppose that's unfair. Tim Graham's article is ridiculous, though not entirely unexpected.

Glad to hear EJ is targeting Stevie. Don't think I've heard/seen much of that.

Thanks man!

I assume that's correct, but at the same time any coach would want to downplay large differences in performance this early in the competition.

Just doing my best to f__cking adapt.
