Nix? Nix did some good things and started the turnaround, including bringing Whaley in. Nix did an above average job, but from what I've seen I have to give Whaley much more credit than Nix. Bringing Sammy, Percy, McCoy and Clay in over the course of 2 years while improving OLine at the same time is the reason why we expect to be in the playoffs this year and that is all Whaley...

What do you really think about Whaley? Since releasing Fred, I see Whaley becoming a bit of a meme around here ("going rogue," etc.). Personally, I was upset about Fred, think the EJ pick was a disaster, and recognize how much we gave up for Sammy considering there were other great WR picks in that draft. However, my confidence in Whaley has never been higher. Is he not primarily responsible for the stellar roster we currently have? All I have seen since Whaley joined the Bills, and since he took over the Bills, is the Bills getting WAY more competitive and the culture and expectations completely changed. I love Whaley, and I think some of the fools around here should appreciate competence when they see it. The Bills are good, and it's because of Whaley.

EJ fought his ass off to beat out Cassel...good for EJ. He's still garbage but at least the can isn't on fire also

What? Both those guys are reasons why our offense is insanely talented...you don't put together an all-star squad to rip it apart before week 1...

Why did we cut IK?

IMO Oline depth is ok provided we don't have multiple injuries. CB is a problem.

Even though the lag sucks it has been getting a little better as it goes...should be better this year. Just do what I do and set a basic precedent that texts should be at commercials...or don't look at phone until commercials...refresh the feed at halftime. Slingbox won't work any better than streaming package and it will be more trouble.

Honestly w/ Tyrod's arm strength and ability to extend plays + our support players...complex zones could be a disaster. I think Tyrod is probably more comfortable escaping and hitting a guy streaking in a zone spot he had extra time to find than he is in the pocket doing the same against man.

Bottom line is you can't really gameplan for Tyrod and this Bills squad. We are a nightmare on paper. You have to be prepared to adapt in game to whatever the hell it is we end up sucking at and dominating at.

Do you think that most 1-2 read, waterbug, gimmick QBs have the support players he has? You want to devote 2 over the top spies on 3rd and long with Sammy, Percy, Woods, Clay and McCoy out there?

Not just targeted at you, but I would love for Green Bay to stack the box with Percy, Sammy, Woods, Clay, and McCoy as a target at there. We are LOADED with talent so if Tyrod's presence means more man than we were going to get anyway, good.

Legend has it, Azor Ahai labored for 30 days to create the sword that would defeat the darkness only to have it break. He tried again for 50 days and nights, and it broke again. Only on the third try, after laboring for 100 days and nights and driving the blade through his loving wife's heart did he form the mythical weapon that would defeat the darkness. We just cut out our heart guys. Bring on the playoffs.

Tyrod: is the most dynamic player is the toughest player to gameplan for and defend is exciting has a masters degree in not turning it over and relying on defense from college (aka Beamer ball) is our starter Good work Bills. Nice.

Tyrod is our starter! That is extremely positive.

How can and TBD poster not understand how effed this move is? Yes, it is like a death

Fred is family and this is a betrayal

Decade + w/ no qb? Now we have a few guys who look ok in preseason, better trade one!

No way we don't go 19-0. It's a lock.

Tyrod is going to be great for us.

Cassel pretty much put a sleeper hold on the game. zzzzzz EJ needed more snaps. Put Tyrod out there already.

Is Charles Clay out there today? Also, Sammy, Percy, and Woods confirmed scratches?

I don't think who starts at QB will affect the crowd much, at least not unless they start sucking.

I get all the reasons why it is the way it is, but I agree with you on this one. It could be done. Probably won't be a normal thing to do anytime soon, but a team could do it right now and possibly be better than if they didn't do it.

I'm actually somewhat interested to see EJ take a few snaps w/ the 1s now that we have other options and he's avoided a meltdown for 2 preseason games going against 3s.

Injuries are really hurting us and I agree--it's' negative. It's also frustrating, with all 3 WRs injured right now I can't tell if it's caution to make sure they're ready or if it'll bleed over. Same with Karlos and Shady. It bothers me Kyle may be hobbled. It all bothers me. We have a chance to start really strong by maybe stealing the opener against Indy by virtue of being at home w/ energy and new roster and looks...then we play a Bradyless Pats at home. Then it's on the road to a competitive Dolphins team that could very well beat us in that spot at their home. A huge part of the ideal path to prosperity this year is to steal 2 quick games against the toughest opponents on the schedule. You have to assume a split w/ the Pats at best, and a likely split with the Dolphins. You also have to assume a tight divisional race. So the first Pats game and the Indy game as a conference tie-breaker are huge. We steal those, we look damn good even if we drop a tough on @Mia week 3. If we show up banged up from the start and average at best at QB (which you have to assume re: qb)--could make the entire season an uphill climb w/ no room for error.
