Two spots on this week's predictions: The most aggravating part about making predictions is that, at the end of the season, one surprise team will go 12-4 and it'll TOTALLY make sense as to why they went 12-4, but it won't make any sense right at this moment. No one told me EJ Manuel would run for 15 touchdowns and led the Bills to a stunning AFC East title. Three Throwgasms Patriots at Bills: No Jeff Tuel? I feel so let down. You mean to tell me that the Bills passed on starting a hard-working undrafted free agent in favor of a FIRST ROUND MEGABUCKS GLAMOUR BOY?! Sounds like a recipe for failure if you ask me. By the way, the Bills fans sent the best emails for our season previews. I desperately want them to crush the Patriots and then go 11-5. Reality's a B word.

This is my biggest point of contention with the NFL. You're a multi billion dollar operation with millions bet each game and you have a 70 year old ref "EYE UP" how far he thinks the ball advanced, then he runs in a "straight" line to spot the ball and then you bring out a chain and two sticks to measure it. my favorite is when it's short by an inch. like that ref could spot the ball 5 different ways as he runs from the sideline to the spot. It's ridiculous.

I'm not trying to put this evil on the Bills, but I've had consecutive dreams of Spiller going down with a knee injury early in the game. i'm talking back to back nights of the same dream.

We would be doing ourselves a huge disservice by dropping back and letting Brady throw.

sigh of relief! i can drink in peace tonight now

It just so happens that fluke TDs still count for six AND they happen in the regular season too

remember when flutie got us to the playoffs and we played a meaningless week 17 against the colts and rob johnson lit them up and then wade phillips decided to start johnson in the wild card game instead of flutie? yeah let's not repeat ourselves here.

In the words of Mike Tyson, "everyone's got a plan until they get punched in the face"

"He's telling me he's ready to go but he's not. But that's his mentality." EJ taking mental reps as if he'll start Thursday. "He's progressing well, he's 100 miles an hour" & has been rehabbing with team trainers daily since surgery.

someone just started a thread "is this the worst 48 hours in bills history". This is where we're at in the off season. these boards shouldn't even open up to opening day kickoff.

It's just our starting QB injured without a timetable, our second string QB with a career-threatening concussion, our three string undrafted rookie starting at QB, our number one DB out for 8 weeks, our new second string QB having never played a full season, both kickers being rookies and our franchise-tagged safety wanting a trade. It's actually not that bad.

I cannot believe that it is august 26th and i'm having to root on Jeff Tuel for week 1 vs the new england patriots. i just spent 3 months enjoying the fact that the patriots were going to be depleted and beatable, now i'm hoping our undrafted QB can make clean hand-offs. what the hell just happened?

I love preseason. we're amazing! we're horrible! 11 wins, possibly playoffs! 5 wins tops. Kiko and EJ defensive and offensive rookies of the year!

Can we just forfeit the 4th preseason game. we literally can't afford to lose anyone else.

The more a timetable isn't presented for EJ's return, the more I think it's a bigger issue. We're looking at less than two weeks until the opener and we just picked up two more QBs who have mediocre "careers", don't know the offense, and haven't taken a snap with our first team yet. Tuel looked really poor vs WASH. Don't you think this would be the perfect time to allay any fears and put EJ's time table out there to the public? I honestly don't think Marrone is smoke screening New England by not providing a time table. There is a reason he hasn't released exactly what's wrong with him, and that reason is that if he did, medical professionals would weigh in on a time table that doesn't have EJ starting week 1, which is probably the case.

Where are you in carolina?

Yeah you're right. I mean look at the Pats, open up away against a division foe and then play four days later against a divisional foe. That sucks!

17-24 (1) 24-1 (2) 1-8 (3) 8-15 (4) 15-22 (5) I guess I meant five literal weeks as opposed to five matchups.

when it's too tough for them, it's just right for us--Marv

I think it's don't let 5 weeks go by without an actual home game. I don't need 3 dec games and i dont need 5 straight "away" games. Just a balance.

Just taking a closer look at the schedule and realized that with a late bye week, a game in Toronto and a road trip, we wont be in front of our home crowd for five weeks. Why does it always feel like we get the short of the scheduling stick.

I love that all of our coaches go on to other teams but in more limited roles: wade, greggg, wanny, mularkey,

Week 1. I have night terrors of Kolb dropping back to pass and the center stepping on his foot and him falling backwards and thinking 'oh god, no. I need to show these fans I'm confident" so he desperately throws the ball straight up in the air and the Pats intercepting for a TD. and that's only the first play of the game. By that time it's like 1:08PM.
