There was a 1-3% chance of making the playoffs at that point and we weren't mathematically eliminated yet. And I still was ok with tanking. What I really want to know what is where was the crazy accurate EJ Manual that wowed me in that Sports Science segment on ESPN that had me celebrating when we drafted him?
Really? Fitzpatrick is brought up every week by at least one of his fan club and he dumped us for less money to be a backup somewhere else. Why not EJ?
It's nice to know that this board still has its QB priorities in order. Based on the threads I've had the honor to read over the years, any prospective QB, regardless of talent, has to:
1) love dogs
2) have stood for the anthem his entire life
For all of his faults, he has a Doug Flutie-like way of making plays at times. He would come dirt cheap with a myriad of behavior clauses. He would be a affordable backup. But ultimately the only way I think a team would take a chance on him is if he agreed to regular blood/breathalyzer tests in addition to random tests at the team's request.
I remember seeing EJ's Sports Science segment and thinking we got a steal in the draft. And up until his injury against the Browns his rookie year, he seemed on a decent progression trajectory to my untrained eyes. But he was never the same. Overly hesitant. Basically Trent Edwards jr.
I don't know what's worse, having a wife who actively roots for a hated rival, or my wife who is overly sympathetic to the point of almost mocking.
Having 1% chance of making the playoffs is preferable to where we've been in December most of the past two decades
Seasons like this one, but mostly games like this one are the reason the only rule at Christmas is no Bills gear as gifts. We haven't been relevant in the past two decades to enjoy a Bills gift at Christmas
Likely the same reason other teams can overcome two score deficits in the 4th quarter to win and a field goal deficit at the half is insurmountable for us
It is so sweet that there are those still burning a candle for Fitz. Unfortuntely we've seen this show before. But those 4 other teams must be wrong, right?
Saving people the time of looking it up would've justified your caps lock. We need for:Kansas City loses out.
Pittsburgh loses two of three games.
New York Jets lose two games (one of which would be to the Bills).
Oakland to lose one game.
