Cleats and the playbook, hah.

It's amusing that the media reports of these games are all basically "eh, preseason, doesn't matter, etc etc" but on the Bills side it's "GREAT CAUSE FOR CONCERN, IS EJ THE GUY"

Last two minutes of a half: Ryan Fitzpatrick (2012) CMP ATT YDS CMP% AVG LNG TD INT SACK RAT 48 76 498 63.2 6.55 30 3 3 6 78.7 EJ Manuel (2013) CMP ATT YDS CMP% AVG LNG TD INT SACK RAT 27 40 231 67.5 5.78 23 3 0 1 107.4 (Most other stats favor Fitz, just to be fair. )

It seems to be interesting that a lot of media focuses on broken plays, but if you look at the play by plays of a few practices, there's a lot of good happening... So what are we supposed to believe?

Many cities have underground to surface exits, it's not a new thing.

Meanwhile in the Tweet thread, there have been multiple good passes, apparently as well. But hey, the only one that gets reported here is the mistake.

Groin issues are no joke, I hope they shut down Spikes and let him be 100% going into the season.. that sort of injury lingers.

Nope. The board experts have already determined EJ to be a bust. NEXT

Wait... Mark Sanchez? 3 out of his 4 years as QB in the NFL have been worse than EJ's rookie year. Sanchez's one better year, he only had a QB Rating 1 point higher. How would Sanchez be an improvement over EJ? I'm asking this seriously.

Most "experts" rank Geno above EJ.

I wonder how feasible it would be to interconnect the nation's water supplies better. I think as the years go on, we'll obviously see certain areas experience droughts, and other areas experience surpluses... it'd be nice to be able to average things out a bit, so that no one area suffers. (I know, awfully socialist of me)

Thanks for doing these.

Maybe a political run is in the future for him.

I love that someone posts pictures disproving certain opinions... and yet he's still wrong, because... well, just because. This place.

Our starting line, and one of our starting LBs is really good... the rest there are serious questions. Hopefully we have a good plan for a healthy rotation that keeps skilled players on the field, otherwise we're in for another long season of not stopping the run consistently and giving up too many successful 3rd down conversions.

Is there any room for results somewhere between bust and Jim Kelly?

Hamas isn't a victim here. The innocent (and likely brainwashed) Palestinians caught in the crossfire, are.

Alright, so EJ sucks. It's been decided. Do we start Tuel? How much time does Tuel get? Who do we draft next year in the 2nd round? Is there a guaranteed vet that we can trade for/sign that would be good? I just don't get all this gnashing about how he's terrible because (xyz)... what solutions are there?

Manuel is worse than all of the above QBs, the ratings prove it. Case closed. End thread. ...or something

Saw Guardians of the Galaxy.... I don't say this lightly, but it was the most entertaining movie I have ever seen. Is it the best movie ever? Nope. But it was wonderfully engaging. Pulls you in and gets you emotionally invested right off the bat. Then the movie is filled with action, suspense, and irreverent humor. Just perfect. It's crazy that such an odd movie ends up being Marvel's best to date.

Also important to note the defender pulling down Mike's right arm on the play. A lot of times that's called PI.

Whenever our defensive line swats passes, we praise them for their play, we never say the other QB sucks because we swatted a pass. It's a weird dynamic.

Also, it'd been nice to hear about how the 1st team defense looked, too.

This is basically how I feel. The batted balls weren't a stare down the receiver thing, I think he just needs to adjust for defensive windows, and I think the OL for it's part, needs to keep engagement with the DL. Also, gotta give credit where credit is due... when our guys swat the ball, we praise our players. But when the opposing team does it, our QB sucks. Which is it?

EJ Manuel - 3 batted passes? Cut. Sammy Watkins - No catches? Possibly miss ran routes? Cut. Mike Williams - Missed catch in the endzone? Cut. CJ Spiller - Only one run, for only two yards? Cut. Fred Jackson - Three yards per carry? Cut. ... I won't even get into all the follies of our second and third units. Man, this one game determined the worth of absolutely everyone on our team.
