Jane's Addiction.
20+ years later, and they're still around, I think.
They played Saratoga last week.

I don't think he needs to practice either, but if you really think his one job is to get to the QB then you are missing an awful lot of football.
I'm oversimplifying. Just underscoring the (what I believe to be) fact that he really doesn't need practice, which we seem to be in agreement over. I know he does a hell of a lot more than go after the QB.

Considering that Mario Williams is arguably the most complete and well-rounded DE on the planet, you might want to come up with a different theory.
No, thanks. I stand by my statement. His one job is to get to the QB. He's been doing it for years. He doesn't need the practice.

What is the only state with a 1-syllable name?
Nuts.

I understand keeping him off the field if he is a proven performer, has grasped the defense and to avoid injury. However, why is Stephon Gilmore out there in preseason? Or CJ Spiller? IMO, these two guys are just as critical, if not moreso, and yet they are rolling them out there.
I think Mario's role is far more one-dimensional than the likes of Gilmore and/or CJ.

If you look up the word "skank" in the dictionary it should have Paulina's picture next to it.
Weird. My dictionary has Boyst's picture. But it's an older edition.

You have an issue with assuming things.

Here's a goodie for them:
Tuel finished strong scoring on two min drill which included 49 yard pass to Rogers
And the Tuel Shed comes alive again!

Marrone's handling of the Manuel injury is further evidence of something truly new and different at OBD. Severity of EJ's injury aside (did anyone count how many times Marrone said "minor"?), not giving Belichick and the Pats* any further film of EJ on the field prior to September 8 is genius.
Let's face it -- Marrone isn't catering to the media and doesn't care if they do or don't know what he's thinking. He is beholden to his staff and these players, and everyone wearing an official Bills logo in that building knows EJ has already won the starting job.
Marrone also knows the game against the Pats* is a chance to make a huge statement -- does anyone think he wants to begin his reign with Kevin Kolb behind center?
As shocked and disappointed as I was by the initial news of EJ's injury, all of the reports since have been extraordinarily positive (successful procedure, no crutches, EJ back on campus, etc., etc.).
I believe Marrone is going to quickly gain a reputation as someone not to be underestimated among the head coaching ranks of the NFL.
Some of you may roll your eyes and call this a pollyanna or homer post, but I like what I see.
As for Tuel competing to start -- that's just good media fodder. More realistically, he's competing to make Kolb expendable.
Nicely stated.

I've always enjoyed music trivia by either decade or genre.
For sports, mascot questions are generally fun and known by a less-than-average fan.
State capitals.

My opinion: He just doesn't want to practice. As long as he earns his paycheck in Weeks 1-20, I couldn't care less.

they were setting up lights as I left. They had john boats taking workers out there to drive the stuff out. The red crane blew a hyrdo line and dumped fuel everywhere. A PE from the drilling company was there, said the 350 gal diesel tank wasn't leaking ... But may have got water in it. There was a $40k welder down there submerged Total loss, as the brushes etc will be full stuff. The blue rig I filmed driving out. Took 6 minutes, the superintendent of the job drove it, I bet he was scared.
I will post pictures, video later. Wouldn't you know the newspaper showed up, too.
How the hell did the newspaper find out about it?!

"I want him (Jeff) to compete to be the starting quarterback" - Doug Marrone
If he is lying, that's on him, not me.
Yes I did.
"I want him (Jeff) to compete to be the starting quarterback" - Doug Marrone
I read that.
Coach Speak is what your labeling it. Doug himself says he is a straight shooter.
As opposed to saying what, though? "Tuel?!? Are you !@#$ing kidding me?! He's only played against the worst defenses. Be real."
He is a straight shooter. That doesn't mean he isn't going to use coach speak. He's a coach.
Kolb and Tuel could be fighting for number 2. If EJ can't play, number 2 becomes the starter. It's coach speak.

There was recently ANOTHER poster who used A LOT OF CAPS and liked to write in a DEROGATORY manner. I think he got BANNED. but it looks like he might be BACK. yay.

Just so I'm clear, you guys think that the Bills will name a rookie QB who has played in 3Q total of preseason games, is coming off an injury and hasn't practiced in two+ weeks the starter for week one? Right.
No. My statement above says if he practices, I believe he will start - even if he doesn't play the quarter of football he normally would have. If he does not practice for the next two weeks, then I think Kolb will start.

Ok, can I be serious here for a second and give my take on this. The reason I laughed at this thread is that many of you are freaking out about this injury, that this injury is going to ruin this year or at the least hurt it. Let's think about this. Do you really think that EJ was going to come out and turn this team around and finally take them to the promised land? Maybe in a couple of years but probably not this year. Not many rookie QBs have done that. It will most likely have him a bit shakey in his first couple of starts. Uhhhh, dude is going to be shakey in his first couple of starts anyway. First couple of starts in what could end up being over 100 in his career. Stop placing all your hopes and dreams on one person. How many years in a row has that happened with this team? It's a long season. So what if he doesn't start week one. So what if he starts week two and three and is a bit shakey. That's why I said I'm glad I'm no longer emotionally tied to this team. Do I root for them? Hell yeah, but I don't let them determine my emotional state come Monday morning.
I remember getting lamb basted on here for saying I was going to spend a Sunday with my wife and son instead of watching the Bills game. I was called every name in the book and told that I wasn't a "real fan." This was a couple years ago and I still get a chuckle out of it.

He is missing all the practice time for three weeks plus 3Q minimum of game time vs starting opposition. That represents as much game time as he has to date. So yes, it's significant despite attempts to minimize it. It may not mean much over the course of his career, but he will certainly not be ready for game 1.
Vince, how do you know this? Aren't you guessing, like 100% of the other people posting here?
I'm agreeing with Big Cat on this one. I think it's all dependent on whether he practices. If he practices and doesn't play the quarter of football he would have, he's starting.
If he doesn't even practice, he's sitting.
Those are my guesses.

I'm really getting tired of the media once again trying to stir something up when there is nothing there to stir. Marrone has not only exhibited integrity since he's been here, he's also been very transparent in terms of his plans. This was meant to be a competition, and with that comes a prescribed period of time during which the competition will take place and allow the staff to make the best decision moving forward. I love that EJ is playing well, but as Marrone said recently, "just because the plan is working doesn't mean I'm going to abandon it". There was clearly never any intention to take away Kolb's opportunity to start a preseason game just because EJ lit it up, or vice versa, and I'm glad we have a coach who follows through on his word. By the time he makes his decision, there will be enough evidence where he'll have a clear idea as to what is best for the team moving forward. But I think I heard like three media people today saying that people were dumbfounded as to why Marrone didn't give EJ the start against the Vikes tonight...are these morons even paying attention?
Agreed.
This should be pinned, locked and referred to when other similar threads are created.
At this rate, Marrone could have "The Decision" on PPV and charge $50.
If nothing else, nonsensical threads would go away. Ha. Right.
Go Bills!!
