I live in San Diego. Chargers are mediocre on defense and they don't have a ton of team speed in general. Rivers keeps them in games, but I don't think they're anything better than an average team. If we protect the ball, I think we win. Something like 23-16.

Not Easy to run against 8 in the box. Manuel has to hit throws.

They are begging EJ to beat them but the kid is just so inaccurate. I don't see how he's ever going to be a good qb in this league.

To be honest, assuming we get half way decent play from Manuel, we should win the next two games. I live in San Diego and am not very impressed with the Chargers overall talent. Pretty average team all-around. Think the Phish are the better of the two teams.

Yeah, but we are talking about a dude that beat his wife and then slit her and another poor guy's throats. Kind of hard to feel proud when you see that guy honored in a big, highly visible way at your stadium.

Jets in the 6th.

Yeah, Riemersma was a pretty solid tight end. I feel like we had another guy during the Bledsoe era that wasn't half bad, but his name escapes me now.

Sure. So long as you enjoy public embarrassment.

What a great day for Bills fans! Thank you Terry and Kim, and most of all, thank you Ralph and Mary Wilson for ensuring that the Bills stay in Buffalo for the long haul!

Boyd is so good that the Jets couldn't even find a spot on the practice squad for him. And he's "athletic" so he must have huge upside. Plus, I've heard of him and his college games were on ESPN. Get 'er done Doug!

I agree he did enough yesterday to win (obviously). I just don't buy him as a long term solution (yet) based on eyeball test and past performance. Hope I'm wrong because I'd like to win now versus another 3 year rebuild.

lol. this board is bi-polar. manuel is still a mediocre qb with a subpar feel for the game. he threw for what? 170 yards? defense won that game, plain and simple. remember, even jp had his moments.

I think Cutler throws for 300, so I'll go with 420 total.

History and preseason eyeball test tell me "prepare for another season of futility." Bears win 24-6 or some other forgettable score in that ballpark. 5-11 here we come.

Wall of Fame? Come on. Fred's a nice player. Maybe an above-average NFL running back but he's only had one half-season that you could call elite. Aaron Shobel or Moulds are far more deserving WOF candidates from the turd era.

I'd say that first huddle is even more important. If EJ goes out there with his visor on he won't be able to look at his teammates eyes and they will lose all confidence in him. I could definitely see a strip sack in that scenario.

I live in San Diego and I've grown to become a casual fan of the Chargers. Not a rabid fan of the team, but I watch the games and root for them so long as they're not playing the Bills. My wife's family and most of my friends are big Chargers fans, so it's kind of come natural for me to root for them. I would never become a fan of a natural rival like the Dolphins, Pats or Jets/Giants. Definitely die-hard Bills fan for life.

I can't wait for 2016 to roll around. Should have a competent head coach and a first round draft pick then.

Thought the same thing. Passed the eye test to me. Made me wonder why he never made more noise in the NFL.

Looks like we are going to be treated to another year of Buffalo Bills football!

I know it's a small thing, but has anyone else noticed the way he holds his gatorade cup on the sideline? About 50% of the time he holds it with his pinky sticking out to the side. A worrying sign of his arrogance and inability to connect to the common man.

Too late. Should have drafted him when we had the chance. Now we'll get to watch him make the playoffs for the next decade, while we cycle through our next losman/edwards/fitz. Regarding race, I don't buy it. The EJ haters are typically the same folks saying we should have made a play for Vick or Jason Campbell in the offseason, and are also chronic should have drafted Russell Wilson handwringers. Their criticism stems from their impatience and their belief that Manuel actually sucks.

Oliver looks great. Actually looks a lot like Sproles in 43. He will make the roster and Grice will be the odd man out.

Mallett looked rough. Cousins, Colt McCoy and Weeden looked good tonight. To be honest, they all look way ahead of any of our guys.

I'm a Fitz fan and I voted no. Fitz had his chance and he couldn't get it done. I don't like what I've seen from Manuel so far but I'm willing to give him (or Tuel or Thad) a chance to develop in the hope that he can become a quality NFL starter.
