Great decisive burst from McCoy. Never saw that from Spiller

To me it seems hes taking almost all of the blame off of EJ and consistently blaming the receivers. 5 yards out of bounds is a lot for a throw that was justbehind a receiver. Ive just seen his stuff before and didnt like it. Its pretty telling to me when every single other reporter is saying how bad of a throw that specific one was and he comes out with "just a little behind, receiver should have looked...". But believe what you want.

As negative as Joe B may be on the anti-EJ train, Chris Trapasso is such an EJ homer its just as bad. He honestly tries to justify the throw into the tent like it was completely normal.

Another classic post where people completely overvalue our own players. No way they pull the plug on Johnny for a bunch of Buffalo cast-offs.

No youre not the only one. Im not advising putting your finger in someones face but there would have to be a lot more to it than that. Especially if I was on the fence about making an NFL team. This guy has basically ruined any real chance at an NFL career. Its honestly kinda strange to see all of the "oh well that makes sense..." reactions to the finger in the face news.

Glad the overarching point isnt lost on Boomer

Chan probably planned this whole thing. It was a set up.

Several reasons. The scrimmage wasnt the entire body of work. They split time with the ones a lot in camp leading up to today. Cassel had the best day yesterday and is starting the preseason game.

I tend to point more at Houston last year as a poor performance. I really havent seen anyone bring up Tampa referring to EJ.

I think its because people dont want to admit that EJ isnt that good so they look for confirmation bias. If the reporters had a pro-EJ conspiracy nobody would be calling that into question and asking them to pump the brakes on the praise. They dont want the truth until it hits them in the face in the first 4 weeks. Its exactly like last year.

At least is he consistently inconsistent.

I really enjoy reading Astros stuff but some people that totally disregard everyone else except for Astro seem to just be searching for confirmation bias. That's all

Just to counter, I'm not saying anything positive or negative against Astro but how do you know who is more objective. If anything I would assume someone that actively roots for the Bills would be more biased. The guys who cover the Bills for local news have always been pretty down on EJ and EJ has pretty much lived up to to their criticism thus far. If what I see on the field totally went against what those guys said I wouldn't buy the tweets and coverage but it's almost always right. I really don't understand why the hate for these guys except for the fact that you don't want to believe that what they're saying is correct. Let's say joe B and Rodak held the opinion they seem to have that EJ isn't good but Fairburn loved what EJ was doing (purely hypothetical) would people here really only believe what Fairburn had to say? It seems that way.

At the same time if the trade is good and we get something in return than I'll commend him for turning basically nothing into something. Doing something a good GM should do. I'll wait to see how the trade goes.

but didn't he throw a TD to Gragg? Just kidding. Thanks for the perspective.

If EJ makes a couple good throws but mostly bad throws, that's a bad day. Throwing one touchdown and then overthrowing or under throwing every other pass you're not going to highlight the one TD. When EJ has had good days the reporters are all over it. When he was in Pittsburgh last year and earlier this year in minicamp I remember them raving over EJ. They report on the overarching theme of the day not necessarily each individual play.

With the talent we have at QB the wishbone might be our best option. I know QBs get hurt easily but I think it's almost worth the risk looking at how bad these guys are. It worked with Kaep for a year with Roman as OC. That's where my hope lies.

Sure he can run. He can run for a couple yards if the picket collapses. But you can't design run plays for him. He can't get to the outside and cut upfield. He's not very elusive. He can run for scrambling. You asked what plays can Taylor run that EJ can't, and now you're saying "I'm not comparing them." Frank Summers could run, you want him to replace McCoy at RB? Because that's about the difference in ability we're looking at here

You can't even compare EJs running ability to Taylor's. They're in different categories completely. Taylor can run like a young Vick.

Any designed QB running play.

Yea I know Taylor isn't good but if he is just as bad at throwing, at least he can run. Plays can be designed for him that EJ couldn't execute to save his life.

https://vine.co/v/eHhgbgUnnHE Not good. To me this is obviously on EJ. If the throwing ability is all equally terrible sign me up for Tyrod

Thanks everyone for the info. I am very excited to move, I'll be there in September. The job starts on September 21st. I'm looking forward to the stupidly high cost of living and the lack of water, a real one too punch that make moving there so attractive. Vader, thanks for the heads up. I will definitely try to get there as much as possible. I love the Bills and would really love to be around fans, especially if we have a good season.

Im moving from NY to San Jose in a couple months and really would love to be able to watch the games with some other fans if possible. I looked in the Bills Backers forums but there doesnt appear to be a south Bay group and it is not checked often so thats why I am posting here. Google brings up a site which says that people meet in Britannia Arms but the site doesnt seem to be updated frequently so I dont know if people still go there. So does anybody know of a South Bay contingent of Bills fans and what bar, if any, is the best place to watch? Maybe Ill have to make my own

You say theres "No way" we pay him...why? keeping an aging Mario and Kyle is better than resigning a 25 yr old Dareus? that makes no sense. If we have to pay a franchise QB than that is a great scenario to be in and we can get cost in many other ways. You shouldnt not-sign a franchise D-line player in the anticipation of signing a franchise QB who is not even on the team right now. Also there no way TN takes Dareus for the #2 pick for us to get Mariota.
