To be fair, the only parts of the game I have seen so far are via RedZone and highlights. Maybe my mistake was following ther gameday thread, since the posts indicated he looked really bad, esp. early on.
Yeah, if you're not going to actually watch the game, basing your opinion on the gameday thread comments might not quite give you an accurate assessment of reality.

Interested to hear Microscopes' take on this.
Life is much nicer around here since putting him on ignore. Only problem is I haven't figured out how to block people quoting him in subsequent posts
-
Looked like he might've hurt his hand on that game winning drive too. Nice game and props to SJ!
-
How long did we extend McKelvin for? Thought he played a heckuva game.
-
I wonder if everyone will remember that game saving pass interference call the next time they complain about the Bills never getting a call.
It was an obvious call, just like our penalties that gave the Panthers possession back twice.

EJ blows
Love people that pull this kinda crap out

EJ first game winning drive

Have we had a KO return on Gano yet?
-
We should get the ball back with about 1:20 and no timeouts, with a TD drive to win!
-
CJ is washed up. Right?
Wow, who said someone was washed out 3 years in?
-
Should be no worse than 7-6. Lee Smith killed us. Let's come out ans score in 1st drive.

Where are the slants?

Good catch after fine scramble!

I was a big mckelvin defender. Loved the pick when we made it. But after seeing him play over the last several years, it was pure insanity to sign the guy to do anything other than be a return guy and depth corner.
Mind blowing that they have enough faith in him to be a 2 CB. I hope I am wrong, but I fully expect him to get exposed, benched, and probably cut after the season. again, I really hope I am wrong-- but I am not going to delude myself into thinking the guy suddenly figured out how to play CB.
Also for your consideration, and I hope it was a one game aberration, but Gilmore looked horrible and seemed to be exposed against Washington. His free pass has been revoked. We may have a REAL problem at CB heading into next offseason, which is a shame considering we've got two very high picks invested out there at CB1 and CB2.

He did make it through waivers. Visited Miami earlier. So there's that.
I think his point was a select few armchair GMs around here were howling that the great UDFA Rogers would get scooped up "within seconds" if we were ever to "expose" him, thus necessitating his lock on an active roster spot. Obviously that did not happen, as you said he cleared waivers, quite easily, and even went to Miami and didn't get anything. Best of luck to him though in his future NFL endeavors.

ORCHARD PARK, NY – The Buffalo Bills today have signed CB Johnny Adams, OT Edawn Coughman and RB Ronnie Wingo to the Practice Squad.
Adams (5-11, 177-pounds) joined the Houston Texans as an undrafted free agent following the 2013 NFL Draft and spent time with the Texans and Indianapolis Colts at training camp before being released on August 26th. Adams started 39-of-54 games played at Michigan State and totaled 157 tackles, 35 pass break-ups and 11 interceptions for the Spartans while earning All-Big Ten accolades three times (2010-12). He will wear No. 44.
Coughman (6-4, 313-pounds) entered the NFL as an undrafted free agent with the Seattle Seahawks in 2012 and spent a portion of his rookie season on the team’s Practice Squad. He joined the Dallas Cowboys on May 13, 2013 before being released prior to the regular season. Coughman played nine games during the 2011 season with the Toronto Argonauts in the Canadian Football League after a collegiate career at Shaw. He will wear No. 72.
Wingo (6-3, 231-pounds) joined the Atlanta Falcons as an undrafted free agent after the 2013 NFL Draft before being released on August 30th. He tallied 1,089 rushing yards on 206 carries with eight touchdowns in 49 games at Arkansas. Wingo will wear No. 42.

Better use of a valuable open roster slot than Burton, imho.

Injury settlement and a Velasco signing would be nice.

Absolutely...that on a MB supposedly filled with knowledgeable fans, we're four pages into this thread and not one bit of objective background has been added on the guy. Just bellyaching by the usual suspects.
He sounds like a guy who can play in Pettine's scheme:

"Burton could become a great starting corner for a team with a press-heavy scheme..."
http://min.scout.com/2/1068689.html
Burton is at his best in man coverage, showing the speed and quickness to run with any receiver. At the line of scrimmage, he shows tenacity when pressing the receiver and is willing to challenge anyone that lines up opposite him. Once the ball is in the air, Burton uses his exceptional height and timing skills to compete for the football...

Burton is projected as a second round pick...
Hmmm...disappointing this is all pre-draft hype. How's he performed in the NFL?
"A fifth-round pick in 2011 out of Utah, Burton has struggled mightily through two NFL seasons but the Bills are desperate for corners after losing Stephon Gilmore potentially until midseason. Burton will open the season low on the depth chart, however, and is unlikely to help early in the year. Sep 1 - 5:10 PM"
"In two seasons with the Vikings, Burton appeared in only 14 games and was buried on Minnesota's depth chart, failing to ascend in his first two seasons. He is not practice squad eligible, meaning that he's the first of three expected additions to the Bills' 53-man roster, where he becomes the sixth cornerback on the active list. He has a chance to suit up on game days and play special teams while Stephon Gilmore is sidelined with his wrist injury."
"As a Bills Fan Living in MN Burton is unimpressive. He’s had multiple opportunities to earn a role in MN (esp with Chris Cook and Winfield both missing multiple games each of the past two years) and never took advantage of those opportunities. There was a decent amount of buzz on him two training camps ago, but that was about the highlight of his time with the Vikes. The local media gave him a pass his rookie season (that was the lockout year, when training camps were shorter and there were no mini-camps, and many rookies struggled). But he’s now had two full off-seasons to put it together, and hasn’t."

Disappointing.

The Titans just released OG Fernando Velasco. The thing is, he has just 3 years in the NFL and is subject to the waiver wire. Hopefully no one else picks him up as he would be a great addition. Now if they could just find another CB.
He was a 16 game starter last year, and purportedly can play LG.
Velasco was a 16-game starter in 2012, grading out as Pro Football Focus' No. 11 center, but the Titans will go with journeyman Rob Turner. They have fourth-rounder Brian Schwenke waiting in the wings. Velasco was set to make $2.023 million. He should draw interest from center-needy teams. Perhaps Denver will give him a call.
