Ok but preseason isn't about the Wins and Losses. Coaches and players will all say they wanna win of course, but all it really is about is evaluation. Evaluation of the players in certain scenarios. Through evaluation, the 1st string offense hasn't scored a TD against a 1st string defense in 4 games. Now, is the playbook fully being put to use? No. So we have to take that into consideration. But on the flipside of that, neither is the opposing team. So pretty much the blueprint is the same for every NFL team. If our offense is playing "vanilla", then their defense too is playing vanilla. Their vanilla is working and ours isn't. Plain and simple. The players (according to Marrone's post game conferwnce) didn't "execute" today. He didn't say the coaches called a bad game, nor did he include himself in the offenses' poor performance. He pretty much said the players sucked. We hear the same thing every year from players. Today was just one of those days blah blah this and we need to learn and continue to grow blah blah that. The gameplan Hackett brings to the table isn't great I'll admit, but I bet that if Hackett was New England's OC, they wouldn't look as bad as we did. It all comes down to the players and execution of the play that's being called and I for once this whole preseason have to agree with Marrone on him holding the players accountable for not executing.

I don't agree with this at all. I mean, we're all frustrated but for me personally, football is the only sport I like watching and having the Sunday ticket gives me a chance to watch every Bills game since I can't watch it on regular TV here in NYC. Plus, if I wanted, I can watch Dolphins and Patriot games to see what our division rivals are doing and I can root for whoever THEY'RE facing. But like I said. I don't agree with your decision but that doesn't mean it's a wrong decision. To each his own. I can't do what you did.

In slo mo were you also able to see that EJ doesn't know how to step in, out and around the pocket when he's being "pressured"? Peyton Manning's pocket breaks down all the time. Peyton isn't as quick as EJ. He steps up when need be, steps left when need be and so on and so forth. On top of that he's an accurate passer. EJ needs to use the pocket better when it breaks down and start using his God Given ability and run with the ball (cautiously of course). Russell Wilson and Kaepernick do it all day long. Keep the chains moving.

Every year there are new players added to the team. Every single year. So basically what you're saying is, if we don't make it to the playoffs for 300 years straight, if we lived to be over 300 years old, you want us as fans to be patient because the players who are on the team, are not the same players as the year before and the year before that and the year before that. Think bro think. Did EJ get BOO'ed in a preseason game this bad last year? No. He earned those BOOs today and not just him. Chandler slipping which led to EJ throwing an INT, the O-line allowing the D to penetrate, EJ looking scared and fumbling then lying saying he was down when clearly he wasn't, did I mention O-line not blocking? All I can say about you is, may God Bless your soul and Bless all of us with the same patience you have. But don't be shocked when you hear people Boo the players cuz they're not as patient as you are.

Maaaaaaaan these dudes need to man up. Point blank. We're fans. You're supposed to be professionals. Players can't be shocked at the boos coming from the fans after waiting 7 months to see their team finally come back home and play a good game, only to be let down by that performance. I definitely heard the fans "cheer" the defense. So what does that say? The BOOS were for the offense and offense alone. The defense is allowed to stink it up a little after getting NO help from the O. I'm a BOO'er myself. But the next drive the O comes on the field I start cheering again. It's the nature of a fan. I don't "look" for a reason to BOO Mr. BOObie. Boobie just mad he didn't play today that's all. I like how the fans retaliated on twitter though. No need to be sweet to these guys man. Earn your paycheck. Oh, and BOOS don't come after 1 drive of sucking. It's 4 or 5 drives with NO score and 3 preseason games before THAT without a TD either. THAT'S when the BOOS are heard.

Well Goodwin got hurt. But if I HAD to come away with any positives from this game, it would be 4 things. #1 Spiller is good to GO! #2 Spikes really IS a run stuffer. #3 Cohen is a BEAST! #4 I absolutely love EJ's playaction. (Looks very pretty) How can the O-Line be a strength when the leader of our team keeps shifting players around? You had 21 days in pads at TC, you should know who your best 5 linemen are and stick with them in every practice and preseason.

EJ is a liar.

This drive has to mean something. Preseason or not, you're down 10-0 and haven't scored a TD all preseason. Let's see how this offense responds.

Why doesn't EJ use his legs a bit and gain some yards running?

Didn't the Jets have a different color helmet when they played in those ugly Titan uniforms?

Two questions. How old are you and how long have you been a Bills fan. I ask because I felt the way you feel but like 10 years ago. The Bills losing hurts me still but not like the way it seems to be affecting you. You gotta relax bro. These guys go home and live "regular" lives (spending time with family, playing PS4, going to the movies, Facebook, Twitter etc.) after a game. Don't let them losing take you out the game (of life). Just relax.

Sammy hasn't earned that right as a Bill to be the WR to wear the Reed jersey if that were to ever happen. Neither has Mike Williams. Woods would be my vote to be the one to wear it and honestly, Woods is kind of playing like Reed at the moment with the way he's breaking tackles and what not.

Idk how to feel about it honestly. I kind of like it and I kind of don't. I like it if it's coming from frustration of not scoring points (for the offense) and not stopping a score (for the defense). But if it's something non football related then I don't like it at all.

I'm betting that Reed and Kelly will be announced at halftime to talk about Ralph Wilson. The Ralph is gonna go nutz if that happens which is why I'm purchasing my tickets tonight! I was there for that one. Definitely one of the best games I've been to.

@Country, you don't have a Jon Corto throwback?

If EJ dated a Kardashian and appeared on a couple of their reality tv episodes, he could donate that amount also. Well, maybe.

My friend just texted me this link from a tweet he saw.

Good to hear about Watkins. Thanks!

Not as much as HE'S being paid... Those are million dollar words.

I'll donate 1 dollar for every fumble return yard Cohen makes this year to help obese people get in shape. Help me help get rid of obesity.

Just cuz it's on ticketmaster doesn't mean it hasn't sold out. Those are people who ALREADY have a ticket and are selling an already purchased ticket.

I agree with Marrone not wanting to give a timetable on injuries and also agree with him handing over ALL injury related questions to be handled by "Scott". I also agree with the OP that his press conferences are very hard to watch these days. They're not Jauron kind of horrible but it's up there on that level. At least Chan had the whole southern accent thing which made me chuckle at times and I loved Chan's anger but I always felt concerned he might have a heart attack or something. It was more like when your dad gets angry. I'd like to see a younger guy with Chan's anger to show SOME type of emotion. Then again, if we can just win games I could give 2 tards how he acts. I guess that's what it's come down to. We lose so much that we nitpick how coaches talk (which I just did) smh.

I like Whaley more than I do Russ honestly but don't feel that Whaley is ready to take over a position like Russ has at this point. I think the two make a great team but I have to question the hiring of Marrone and let's say I agree with the hiring of Marrone (which I don't) I can't have a blind eye towards the fact that the coaching staff Marrone brought with him was horrid. This year with the addition of Pepper Johnson and I believe a quarterbacks coach was clearly a Russ and Whaley move, but I feel that it's still not enough. We need a head coach who will not have ANYTHING positive to say after the 1st team offense and defense's performance on Saturday. No positives came out of that game for the 1st string offense and defense except for gaining yards (offense) but no TD and stopping the run (defense) but gave up an easy slant route TD to the Steelers.

At least now every time the opposing defense stops EJ from throwing a TD we can put the blame on THEM for not caring about the kids instead of Hackett and EJ.

Damn... this is wrong on a couple levels. I'd be lying if I said I didn't chuckle.
