I actually agree with Tate, if it was our home field its one thing but it was there turf so I can see them being upset. As for the lions team I agree, they are tough team to feel sorry for just because they are a bunch of pieces of sh*t

Can we just refrain from making threads after one game? Will people ever learn and just let things play out for even 2 or 3 weeks?

Could you elaborate?

Ebola is scary as hell, thats not even remotely funny.

how long was our non 300 yd game streak?

I was at the game, I didnt see it on Carpenter but saw it clear as day on Orton on 2nd down the play before he went to Goodwin deep. Such horseshit and should be a personal foul on the lions.

Agreed that was stupid, read like 3 lines and got bored.

Thanks for posting the article. My quick thoughts from this: Guards obviously are really bad but would like to see what happens in 2 weeks (Suh this week) when there isn't an all-pro talent across them. I didnt need him to tell me how bad EJ looked or is but this magnified it by 10x. Could you imagine how good this team could be with even a Matt Ryan at QB? Hackett (again maybe it was the limitations of Manuel) really needs to take advantage of the playmakers on this team. He is incredibly unimaginative on a team that has more game-breaking speed/ability then probably 28 of the 32 teams. Looking forward to seeing what Orton can do.

No one.

Don't like Hackett, but EJ has the worst QBR of any qb still playing and has seen his rating and completion % regress every week.

Not at all opposed to it, without a first rounder we don't have a ton of options anyway.

I hope you are being sarcastic? If not I have serious doubts on your ability to judge QB play in the NFL.

Agree with everything said above. The O-Line play was not great but it absolutely was on EJ today.

just came here to say that EJ is really bad.

This. These threads are pointless. This reminds me of the infamous trade Skelton for Mario thread because Skeltons numbers resembled an early John Elway. They really didn't because the game has changed, the QB position is far more important than it ever was. I don't believe in EJ, not because I don't want to but because when you actually watch him with an unbiased attitude you see that he is not an NFL QB. We win in spite of him, never because of him. Hope more than anything he proves me wrong however.

great article, I also agree with the balance its just hard to hear what you know to be true in that with EJ being as bad as he is, we are basically going to be the same old bills.

How did it go?

This as well as the post above about not doing business with him. Great guy but were I the Pegulas I wouldn't let him snag a stake.

no. The NFL will not expand from 32 teams and as of right now the only team that has serious mover potential is St. Louis and frankly I don't know if we are gonna see another team get ripped up and moved somewhere else. The world (mostly media) has changed drastically in the past decade and I really don't know if the league could handle the backlash.

Whats the basis for everyones thoughts that the NFL "loves him". I know Ralph obviously did but what was the genesis of this?

Try www.seatgeek.com looks at all the sites. My family had to drop our seasons this year due to my dad being the only one still in the area but we grabbed halfway decent seats for $135 each. Not the best deal but its the home opener and I had to be at this game.

Just a straight up awesome story, I wont be tailgating this weekend unfortunately but will be at the game so have a blast! hopefully the bills fans show you how its done and take you under their wing!

I honestly like Russ I just think when you have had the lack of success we have had the past 15 years everyone needs to be called into questions. Its one of those things that I wouldn't be terribly sorry to see him go but wouldn't be upset if he was kept either. One of the things I do like is how into it he is, hearing about him shoving people into lockers when we beat the Bears (for some is a negative) is a positive to me because I like when there is an emotional reward as well as monetary with winning. He wants to win and hopefully we have finally found a way to do it.

I have absolutely no issue with him changing the name, its his team to do what he would like with it.

We say this every year, we gotta stay humble and hungry
