EJ's horrible accuracy/ball placement removes him from consideration as a starting QB from the get go, not to mention that Tyrod has a chance to develop into a good QB, something that is entirely beyond EJs ability to achieve IMO.

It's a long story. And a sad one.

Me too. Agreed.

Percy is fast but the thing that set him apart was his ability to change direction without breaking stride and with terrific explosion. I don't think I've seen that this year or indeed last year when watching the Jets. I get this feeling he's just not the player he was in Minni or even in Seattle. If that's gone forever as a result of injury or for whatever reason then I wouldn't particularly value him as a WR or ST player going forward. Hope I've got that wrong, especially for his sake.

I think he'd be a better RB (if he wasn't already a QB). He's a lot like McCoy. Incredible moves.

The rule says "in the area of the thigh or lower", not the area of the waist. That's why the Cog call was bad. It was even worse than the one on TNF.

I agree. I'd love to see the Bills win in a blowout but that's unlikely. Although I think we'll score some points the defence is going to have to win this game IMO. Expecting a lot from an offence that has so many of its main weapons unavailable or at less than 100% is expecting too much. Tyrod needs to game manage very conservatively and I think that's what Roman will dial up. That will upset a good number of fans, especially if we lose.

I think that attendance in big venues like Toronto, Montreal and Vancouver would not be a problem. The NFL has many fans in Canada. But the CFL is still a roadblock politically. That league and its brand of football are regarded by many as part of the national cultural heritage and there would certainly be an effort to protect it by not allowing a NFL team to relocate there.

Well if it's just a character issue we should be fine given that were a disciplined team with mature coaches and good veteran lockerroom leadership.

I agree with you. Maybe Hogie gets the axe. Well I won't hold that against him then.

Re Trapasso's comment that Moore has been wildly inconsistent does anyone know what his weaknesses have been.

He values the position because he's smart. A good kicker like Gostkowski or the kid in Baltimore will help win you a lot of games. It grates me how kickers, even good ones, get so little respect.

I still think he's a hoot. How's your cat? I like Sherman period. Great one liners. "You mad bro?"

Once Moore gets familiar with the playbook, I wonder if we part ways with Goodwin?

Because Grigson and Pagano are not very smart. He was their main backup to Gore until they had him returning kick offs in the last preseason game injuring his shoulder.

31/22 Bills of course

Because there's always next year.

I can see them dropping no more than 2 games, barring injury to key players, Brady, Gronk. They are a well oiled machine just coming off a championship. In early action they obviously have a big leg up on a team like the Bills that is having to manage big changes. I think we will be much more competitive against them later in the year. Could wind up being a "pick 'em" proposition when next they play.

Philbin is toast.

He's gonna be good. Just like Russell.

To me it's a real shame that the ball did not hit Sammy in the breadbasket and in stride. DB coming in from the left would have been about four yards closer to the line of scrimmage and Watkins would have been turning it straight upfield with a single high safety to beat, a fifteen yard cushion and Woods in the area to possibly help out with a block. Given Sammy's YAC ability I like his chances of scoring in that scenario. I think we were very close to pulling off a major comeback which would certainly have raised a few eyebrows and changed the post game conversation somewhat I would think. Confirms my belief that our O has the potential to be very productive, indeed explosive at times, and I think we will see that more clearly as the O starts to gel. We are loaded with playmakers and I think Tyrod will have the wherewithal to get the best out of them. For sure his performance so far has been uneven but what I see is a guy with a very strong arm that is not inaccurate and who can make plays with his legs. I have to think those are the main takeaways from the two games so far and I also believe that the Bills brass are very pleased with what they have seen (while acknowledging that Tyrod and the O are a work in process) otherwise they might not have traded Cassell. Trading MC may have been an even greater vote of confidence in Tyrod than it was in EJ.

Jones makes Glenn look like he's on skates lol!

Team has a number of undisciplined hotheads prone to lose their focus and fly right off the handle when the task at hand requires concentration, professionalism and attention to detail. Then Rex shows up and spends the week pouring a jerry can of gas on the fire. Recipe for disaster.

It's broken whatever it is. Could be a collarbone or left arm.

27/17 Bills of course.
