  1. Well EJ sure hasn't looked good these past few games, I find it really hard to pin it on him. The offensive line has been absolutely terrible and so has the running game.

    If you can't pin THIS on EJ, you never will.

     

    He missed wide open WRs with clean pockets, failed repeatedly in clutch situations and fed the JJ Watt media machine.

     

    It's time, my friend.

    Why destroy the Spygate tapes?

     

    Why try to add games given the concussion research?

     

    Why add a Thursday game knowing it puts player's at greater chance for injury?

     

    IT's not like this is the first questionable thing Goodell has done. A lot of people would have been fired for similar mistakes. He doesn't hold himself to the same standard that he holds the rest of the league.

    Goodell is the "CEO" of a business than just commanded 1.4 Billion dollars for one of its LEAST valuable franchises. I'm sure he doesn't make this stuff up, but I have no idea on the real answers. Neither do you, Simmons or any of the thousands of others who are sure he should be dumped. I can't even feign outrage.

  3. 2 Thoughts:

     

    I think it takes more than 2 weeks of struggling to get any starter replaced.

     

    It is different for a QB because he's touching the ball on every play, and needs to be in synch with his WRs, OL, RBs, etc. Depending upon the type of player, the entire offense may need to be modified to suit the new QB's skill set.

     

    Again, the team is 2-1 right now; are we supposed to think that a 2-2 record is bench-worthy for a QB that has started 14 games (and gone 6-8)?

    I'm suggesting 2 MORE weeks of struggling. There's no reason EJ should struggle against Houston (other than JJ Watt going up against Henderson). But if he does and looks bad against an improved Lions D, I wonder how long they let it go before they feel it's better to get him out of there for a spell.
  4. Let's play over/under

     

    Percent of posters who came to this thread with an open mind, who then, through thoughtful and measured discourse had their opinion evolve.

     

    I'm setting it at 0.5%

     

    And I'm taking the under.

    God forbid you have a contrary opinion.

     

    I am open to EJ improving to the point of being serviceable. But I think the biggest Bills fan would have to admit to seeing more to be worried about than to be excited about. Great...or even good QBs usually do something well early on despite the expected interceptions and poor record. I just haven't seen much that separates EJ from anyone. Throw, run, read, anticipate? I'd think you would see signs of it and they are too few and far between for, well, most people that watch football.

  5. And they'll be near last place AGAIN next year even if they get either of St. Connor or St. Jack. But yeah...back to football. Saying Pegula's "patience" with Regier paid off because they now suck enough to draft a generational talent is just illogical. I wouldn't base any expected patience that.

  6. Regardless of whether it's wise, I don't think you can ignore the change in ownership as a factor on how this team is managed this year. Fair or not. Smart or Stupid. Orton is here to play if EJ doesn't play well enough to win.

     

    EJ's salary in 2014 is $1.2M. Orton's is $5M.

     

    How did Pegula's patience work out with the Sabres?

  7. The Bills are not paying Orton 4X EJ's salary because they think he holds the clip board better than Tuel. If the Bills go ofer on this 2 game road trip and EJ looks bad at home early on 10/12, I think you'd see Orton at some point in that game.

     

    Marrone is on a 1 year audition for Pegula. So is Whaley. Winning is way more important than his development,imo. So I'm circling 10/12.

  8. It is clear to me there is no use to even read these threads anymore unless you want to B word and moan about who sucks, how bad, why, Sullivan and Schopp suck, etc. Maybe when they actually PLAY a game, the subject matter will change.

     

    God forbid they win the Bears game.....this hysterical board will have them going to the Superbowl.
