What a Tuel

I did not notice, but it probably fired our guys up haha. Was it a 71 yard drive for a TD right after that then?

Yeah that was BS. There were a few PI calls where the receiver was mugging our DB's but we get the penalty. There was also the one where Graham I think? reached up and around the receiver to deflect the ball, being very careful not to touch him and he still got called. I know the NFL wants this to be a pass friendly league (Can't have a repeat of last year's SB), but geez at what point will they start calling "interrupting the act of catching the ball" on the DB's.

RG3 getting beat up. San Francisco routing Dallas. Bills beat Chicago without needing the 7. He got the Indy by 8, but boy oh boy was that close. Maybe he will be 2 for 5 after tomorrow night with the Chargers haha, but the best result was the Bills with ten more than they needed to cover.

You should be optimistic because each game is a new game. Else why bother playing the games at all. Go Bills!

We definitely have to score to win this one, so I hope not. Bears averaged 20+ points a game last year.

It starts out as a joke which gets a couple laughs. "Oh the Bills are x Bad, X could beat them!" and compounds with every playoff less season. It simply isn't funny anymore, which is why the more optimistic of us are annoyed with the naysayers. Most of the time it is people who know nothing about football jumping on the "loser bandwagon" which is even more irritating.

Those are good points, but the Redskins were a 3-13 team last year. That game really could go either way. Neither team looked particularly good in Preseason, and we all know how much Preseason matters around here! The Cowboys offense is what you need to worry about when betting against them. Can Kaepernick and Crabtree outscore Romo and Dez? The Dallas D will be a liability in that, but I dont think it is a sure thing the Niners keep up. Rivers last year was great, but that doesn't mean the Chargers win. Dolphins vs Chargers? Take the 3? Lost by 4. Raiders vs Chargers? Take the 3? Lost by 10. If these things were safe bets, I would just bet full time. As for the Bills, we won/lost within 7 points 8 times last year. Giving the Bills 7 points is a good bet. If we look anything like we did in the preseason, OP will lose the money, but Chicago, Washington, and San Francisco also looked bad in the preseason.

Shall we cut the hat in half?

I don't know about the rest of you, but the last 14 years have been bad, but I have still had a good time rooting for my Bills day in and day out, and will continue to do so. We will make it back to the playoffs, and we will win a Superbowl. I don't need to attach myself to another team to make sure I get that experience. I am just fine rooting for my team, and I will leave it with this: Fight on, my men,” Sir Andrew Said “A little I’m hurt but not yet slain. “I’ll just lie down and bleed a while, “And then I’ll rise and Fight again.

How long to you think Houston plans on keeping Fitz? As much as I like Fitz, I dont think they plan on doing much with him at QB.

I don't think the bears should be ones to talk about inherent disadvantages. 1 Playoff appearance in 7 years (4 in 20) isn't something to boast about.

Yep, throwing another 1st round QB into the fire always works! Anyone notice that many of the teams who drafted QB's are reverting to their veteran qbs rather than throwing their guy into the fire? Cassel Henne Hoyer Granted, the rookie may end up taking over at some point throughout the season. If Bridgewater was in Buffalo, and they said "We are starting Cassel over him", there would be riots.

I think he was signed prior to Pettine leaving, and Pettine had him as a starter. Schwartz had him as a backup, and he lazy, and was getting outplayed by the other DT's. Compound that with the DUI and it made sense to cut him. I think it is more on him that he seemingly signed a contract and then stopped trying. Maybe they should have been able to tell this would've happened, maybe they couldn't. Who knows.

Brian Billick "If you want to fight thats fine, just keep it under control. If you can't keep it under control, and you don't want to practice, we can just condition the rest of the time." So more than one player is publicly complaining about the practice schedule in spite of Marrone, but aren't really complaining publicly? Just according to Joe B.? Gotcha.

Branch who is gone now, so it's irrelevant.

I think you are making it into a bigger mess than it is, because this offseason is going on forever. Just this post leads me to believe you are blowing it out of proportion: Whaley, and Brandon putting pressure on Marrone. That's a good thing. Saturdays play was not acceptable. 2 people "spoke out" about the practice schedule. Two. That's it. The funny thing is that one of those two was asked what he thought! God forbid he be honest and tell what he thinks. So in reality, one loudmouth spoke out, and talked back to the head coach. You are blowing it out of proportion. The players kept fighting so Marrone disciplined them. If they would quit fighting like high school kids, maybe they wouldn't be treated like kids. He had to do something.

Manuel and the offense played nearly flawlessly against Tampas 2nd. That does warrant discussion. It means given time, and when receivers execute their routes properly and create separation, Manuel makes the throws.

You are right. Nassib didn't play with the 1's against the twos. I believe Manziel and Hoyer alternating may have resulted in this situation. Probably not as much as I initially stated though. I don't think that it nullifies the point though.They got thrashed against first stringers, so I don't think they get the benefit of the doubt that they are truely superior to second stringers. I sure hope they are, but the whole offense wasn't in the league of competing against 1st stringers.

His last full season with the Bucs he had 4,056 yards 27 tds and 17 ints, 8 fumbles. Major upgrade over Tuel and Lewis. Like I said above, I don't think he is. Something seems to be off with him though.

Slim pickens. Orton wouldn't be bad would he? I thought he retired though. I am still under the impression that Freeman has the skill to be a decent backup, or even a low end starter, but he doesn't seem to have the will. Not a fan of the rest. Edit: Hey the trick shot guy is on there!

I think the point people are making is that the whole offense sucked Sunday, not just Manuel. We do have a lot of talent, but it is young talent that needs to develop, and grow together. It needs time. The kicker is that the fan base won't give it time because "14 years without playoffs!!!", which as bad as it is, is irrelevant. The 2005 Bills had an entirely different team, coach, gm, and soon even owner. All people are asking is for people to give it time before getting their pitchforks, and demoralizing the players.

Yeah, EJ made some mistakes but the whole offense did too. Hopefully Hackett has something other than vanilla for the regular season as well as our players executing it better. Yeah, that was only a fumble because the defense made a solid hit on the ball with his helmet.

There have been plenty of cases of young QBs playing with the firsts against 2nd string D's. .
