Why.... not....run...the....ball?
they can't run the god damned ball with EJ in there, did you see the last series? Literally 10 in the box
-
c'mon excuse makers let's hear it
-
Great blocking.
Sorry that's not blocking. Left side was overloaded and that's on the qb to see and react to.
-
Good old EJ.. He will never be more than a solid backup
what makes you think he has the talent to be a backup? there's nothing in evidence other than his draft position to support that idea.
-
what the !@#$ is that retard doing
-
TE wide open in the end zone, throw ball into stands. The EJ Manuel method
-
Jeezus how long is McKelvin out for
-
zactly. We got playmakers, and Meh can't use them. Another bad pass by Cassel with a great catch by a receiver. But somehow, we never hear aobut Cassel's accuracy as an issue.
Because in general it hasn't been an issue. Also, short passes to playmakers who can RAC, with a tight end who can work the seams is the patriots offense. Don't have to throw well deep to run that way.

I saw him lead a team against a good Carolina D on a game winning TD. He beat Chicago and Miami to start last year. The Chargers killed us as a team, Defense too and he was MURDERED against Texans and still was in it at the end. I'm not calling him Tom Terrific but I wish he had 1. Legitimate coach ing in his first two years. 2. played all of last year and gotten the live reps. Who honestly cares that Saint Dougy of the Morons got to 9-7 last year? We would not be having this discussion had EJ played. he would have been already cut or the presumptive starter. Cassel is Orton!!!!! Cassel will always be Orton!!!! No More Effing Ortons!!!!!!
I don't know how a person could be so vociferously against another Orton and pro-EJ. At this point, Ortonish is EJ's ceiling. At best he'll become a manager, with apparently little fire and a slow-moving game mind.
I think Rex secretly loves EJ and wants him to man up. I think he's trying to bury him to light a fire under his ass and to see what he's made of. It's undeniable, that TD pass was gorgeous, and I don't see Orton or Tyrod hitting tpasses.
I don't think Rex loves EJ, but I wouldn't be surprised if the snaps were part of a plot to see how he'd react. I think Rex wants a leader with some fire-could be he wanted to see if EJ would step up and let the center have it or not. I think it was Urbik? He's not THAT bad on shotgun snaps.
And in terms of that throw-that's a wide open reciever in the middle of the field without anyone pressuring. Anybody that can throw a football 40 yards could make it, and certainly any qb in camp could once in a while. What matters is consistency, and until it happens again doesn't mean much.

So there were 3 passes all night that hit the ground that weren't drops. Receivers were basically quite wide open after the second quarter. There was little if any pressure to force a ball into tight coverage or make quick decisions all night, for any of them. You didn't learn too much from that game, except that none of the three qb's disqualified themselves due to this game.
If we're going to give EJ the drops he had, you need to give them to Taylor as well. So 6 of 8 and with at least one TD. And much more dynamic and threatening. I don't know how anyone could watch that game and not think that Taylor had the best performance. It wasn't even close. Moved the offense, dictated the game and made the right decisions. And no, disqualifying his performance based on it being second teams while not doing the same for EJ vs. third and fourth string is not reasonable. There's a massive dropoff between second teams (guys who will play NFL football for the most part) and the third and fourth team scrubs, most of whom will be looking for work next month. He may be able to do it against better competition, but it's reasonable to want to see it happen when he has to make quicker decisions and faces regular pressure (and the same goes for the other 2 as well). Jeff Tuel looked fantastic in early preseason games against scrubs as well.

It's not fair to judge a guy after only 14 starts and 3 snaps.
lol
-
"well, that's not good." Never change, Steve.
-
Rookie CB playing his first game on an island style defense against some very good WR's. Darby will make me nervous all year against guys like Kelvin Benjamin. I like the fact that he's in position, the rest will come in time with good coaching and more experience.
This is not exactly a great thing, but it is a good thing. Lots of film and examples for the coaching staff to work with. Give them a couple weeks to work and see what he looks like.
-
eh, first one he just turned his head the wrong way, a mechanical thing that's easy to fix. second one...just got beat. looks like a young corner, most get beat before they get better.
-
A top ranked defence, adequate QB play, ... an adequate QB such as a Russell Wilson, Flacco or Colin Kaepernick present the better scenario for success.
LOL, "adequate qb play"
*names 2 of the top 6 qb's in the league. Quality post.
I think some of the early posters nailed this.
First of all, Rex is planning to be a ground-and-pound team because we don't currently have an answer at QB.
Second, ground-and-pound can still win in the NFL. Seattle has been in the top five for rushing attempts for the past three years. In fact, they ran it more than anyone this year. Pete Carroll clearly believes in ground-and-pound and I believe in Pete Carroll.
Seattle does run a lot. Specifically their qb. That's not ground and pound, most of those runs are dropbacks. Also, winning teams run a lot in the second half. Pete Carroll clearly believes that his qb must be a playmaker, not a caretaker, to have success.
I'll say it again, Seattle's QB rushed the ball 112 times. Having a QB run it that many times is not a true "ground and pound" offense.
If you want a true winning "ground and pound" attack then you need Dallas' offensive line. The Bills clearly don't have Dallas' offensive line (not even close) or the RB so I highly doubt that Rex is planning the "ground and pound" attack that you are imagining.
The Bills are going to run the ball with their RBs, Manuel and Watkins on end arounds so it's not going to be a true "ground and pound" attack. They are going to use misdirection and surprise than pounding the defensive 8 man front into the ground. They simply do not have the players to do that so it would be a mistake to do it anyways. Also, expect a LOT of passes to Watkins this year. Rex loves him.
Dallas still had one of the best qb's in the league to go with the running game. There is no success in the NFL unless your qb has the ability to regularly make big plays.

We're going to get garbage for a head coach because our moron of a gm is insisting that their fate be tied to the garbage known irl as EJ Manuel. No one who has other options will take the job if that is the condition.
-
Sweet, double down on a bad bet. People B word about Marrone coaching the last game for his own record, but Whaley is allowed to follow up this pathetic waste of 3 first round draft picks based on a terrible decision to draft Manuel, and now is going to base the head coach decision around that failure. If this is true Whaley should be fired tomorrow. Manuel is a never was, never will be, and everyone outside this idiot and a small portion of the Bills fanbase can see that.
-
What was the timeline on that blowup at the end of preseason? Was it right after they signed that qb coach type (Palmer maybe?) and before Orton? Was Marrone looking for somebody other than EJ all along? Maybe give me EJ or that disaster of an offensive line, but not both, leading to the late signing of Orton?
Also makes sense of the sudden decision to leave by Marrone. Sees himself reliving the battles over the bust with Whaley that they had over the last year, and another refusal to bring in a decent qb.
-
both offensive pi's were bull ****
-
Who said what about Rodak? That is very rare for host types to comment on other media dudes.
If it's the show I was listening to, they were actually more ripping on Belichek for how he treats the media. Rodak asked what the hosts said was a legit question about Revis playing more man, and Beli paused for 12 seconds before giving a non-answer. He had done the same thing to one of the co-hosts of the show a couple weeks ago so they were replaying that and timing the length of the pauses.
-
so is this more EJ's fault, or more Hacketts play calling?
Oh ffs how can you see this performance and be wondering what the problem with the offense is?
-
Yep shocking you don't have an answer. Let's just crusade for crusadings sake. You claim it's a wasted pick. So obviously you can see the future. So tell us more of the future.
Here's your word for the day Marky: inference
Once you've looked that up, you'll realize that AJ has made a rational inference about EJ Manuel's prospects, not a psychic prediction.
-
EJ is a second half QB (which is better than the alternative in my book even though a whole game is always best) - we should be fine.
Where did this myth come from. Check out his situational stats on NFL.com http://www.nfl.com/player/ejmanuel/2539228/situationalstats-his first and second half stats are mirror images of each other in terms of completion %, rating, and td:int ratio. There's more attempts in the second half due to the Bills being behind. In fact, his best statistical quarter is the second (mostly inflated due to 2 min. drill/defenses defending against the long pass-again clear in the situational stats).
There is no evidence that EJ is a second half qb.

I love how people bash the Bills for their mistakes and ignore their fallout slaughtering of the Colts in this trade.
It's also funny how the Colts' GM is thought to be good because he drafted Luck. He has made some terrible trades.
This is an hilarious argument. "The fallout slaughtering of the Colts in this trade" resulted in 11 wins for the Colts and how many for the Bills? I like Jerry Hughes, but the Colts didn't screw up their first round qb choice and the Bills did. In the big picture the Hughes trade is not a real difference maker-it's not significant in the overall success of either team. That is why their GM doesn't get slaughtered-they have back to back 11 win playoff seasons.That achievement is not even in sight for the Bills' GM.

and that's why you can't run with EJ playing qb. can't block 10 with 7
