Vlad hurts us a lot in the passing game. Wilkerson tossed him like a jart. I thought some of the play calling was pretty suspect tonight. Agree on post suggesting should have spread them out earlier.

He played well against Raiders too, so make that a seven game break-in period. Sometimes the negativity is a joke.

Just a bad game. Run defense didn't suddenly become bad. A few bad penalties to keep them moving and a few missed tackles and this is what you get. They were flat. They will learn from it. Brady with throw for 350 both games because they will be trying to come from behind.

Maybe not, saw him standing on sidelines late which is a good sign.

Six and a touchdown in part of a game where offense was rarely on the field. Buzz off. And eight games as a rook is not a long break-in period

This just means we have to beat the Pats twice. Wouldn't shock me if we did. Flame away. I know, Brady is perfect. Screw that! Irvin is an idiot.

Loved his route on the TD. Caught balls in traffic. The threads tonight saying we were exposed as pretenders are just as asinine. What a great season so far.

Ridiculous. Team is quite good. They played flat and stupid. It happens. Learning experience/growing pains.

Kind of foreseeable, as I said in the pre-game thread. Division opponent, us of a big win reading some clippings, them playing for the season. A more mature team will be more used to handling success. This should be a learning experience. Growing pains, not the same old Bills. First stupidly played game all year.

Kid showed he is going to be a player. Now just hope he is not hurt too bad. This is a game they can learn from. Hate to say I saw this coming, but I kind of did. Suggested that in another thread only to be told I have a bad case of BBF syndrome. Of course I do, but road game, division opponent, playing for their season, that we already beat once, Bills are jacked about Benjamin, and everyone pumping our tires all week. Kind of foreseeable. When the team is more mature and more used to success it will stop happening. NOT the same old Bills. Growing pains.

Yes, that is my point. Unlike some games in the Kelly-era where it could go either way, but you pretty much knew it wouldn't (Indy comes to mind). So yes, while I appreciate the sarcasm, I fear this game could legit go either way. Full BBF syndrome perhaps.

Draft is a crapshoot. Bird in the hand - develop the man. Draft someone to join Peterman in competition with TT if you want, but for now you have a QB you can absolutely win with.

Surround the man and keep TT! I think McDermott intended to replace him when hired - until they started talking, and he decided to give TT a chance. I think he has fully won the admin over - they are now one person T.T. McBean!

I have seen various places that injury was not as bad as feared and he is "improving." Anyone have any insight on when he could be back? Aints a possibility?

I am fearing this game. I believe we will win, but could see it going South - Jets playing for their season, short weak, division rival we already beat. Lots of risk factors. If McDermott has them as up for this as Raiders I think it will be one of the best moves he has made all year. Heard from a source inside that the players are very happy about Benjamin, fired up about it. So maybe this is a helper. Plus this does not seem a team given to letdowns. But I remain worried.

I think TT is the kind of worker/character guy that will gradually improve until he starts getting hurt in his 30's. Cam, however, may have already had his best year. So I would not make this switch, IMHO.

Absent major drop-off in performance there is no decision -- TT is the quarterback and leader of this emerging team. Deal with it. Having said that, if there is a guy you like when you pick, take him and let him compete. No need, however, to throw a snotball of picks at a rookie who will have a high failure risk regardless of when chosen. If we have a powerful roster and TT, Peterman and our pick all fail we can acquire a Cousins-like vet (albeit not Cousins because he will be gone) in the future. For now, I think we can find our championship QB among TT, Peterman and a pick taken wherever we choose. TT Baby!!!!

So happy to see that lazy under-achiever out of here. He was a cancer with a huge attitude.

Fed it through this large shredder we have - it was really funny. Some of the old ones I keep, some are destroyed. This was not a keeper.

I can't even hear the name Sammy anymore. Love him, hate him, he is over for the Bills. Please let us win this one!

We need a true #1 wideout and I would strengthen both lines. Perhaps a speedy linebacker or two? Need another good corner. We have so many picks!

I will say 6-2, but Jets game scares me every bit as much as this one!

Absurd post Meaning at the beginning, not directly above.

He was virtually "dead cap" when we had him (another poster pointed out Cedric Thornton has more tackles). So dumping him is a straight $7 million save short term (this year and next). Plus free after next year! Yay! Watkins, Gilmore, Dareus - we have completely flipped our cap situation while stockpiling picks and improving on field performance. I am stunned. So pleased.

Actually, none of the points listed above have really been his problem. Nowhere is (i) learning to finish his route or (ii) failure to catch the ball listed. Route stuff is being a rook. Drops are having the yips. CHILL!
