I wonder if the Bills changed the plays in the second half of the Washington game because they did not have another Q B on thr bench. Maybe.

McKelvin is the best in the league at this skill. I hate using him like that, but breaking one is always big. Actually, the coaches and McKelvin need to decide together what to do. I think we see him some, but not all the time. Share the duty. Likely see him late in close games (if there are any)

Byrd wants his money, he does not care where he plays, he is a pro.

But, we failed to take 4QB's to camp......rookie GM and rookie HC.....especially when they are running the ball with the read option!!! This isn't a bad break, its a brain cramp on the part of the Bills leadership!!!!

Ahhh, the joys of having a both a rookie General Manager and rookie head coach who went to camp with three QB's. Incompetant leadership at One Bills Drive.....whats new folks. I guess the only new thing is we can now blame Brandon, since Mr Wilson is retired.

With all the cute remarks here, I am putting a depressingly serious thought on here. This is a General Manager mistake, complicit with the head coach. WHY were there only three QB's in camp? Answer.....save a few bucks...should have been a fourth who at least knew the playbook at this point. From the coaches point of view...more reps for those left on the roster. But, both GM and coach are rookies. So, the Bills will pay for having a rookie GM and a rookie Head Coach. And they will pay big, we are now officially in the Clowney derby. These are mental errors on the part of the Bills management, we are used to that. I thought that a new QB should have been signed when Manuel went down....but, still saving bucks then. Wahley did not make the calls until after the game yesterday. To little, to late. Way to late.

The staff will decide, and, if we are smart, we will not look back and second guess. Especially if one of the cuts lands elsewhere and does well.

Actually, you don't want your starters returning kicks....injury considerations. Goodwin is a better choice because of depth at WR (never thought I'd say that) We are thin at CB, and as good as McKelvin is at returns, we need him worse as a healthy CB.

Haven't really seen the O in action......not one long pass. that has to be in there to provide the balance for the recievers to get open short. The D looks OK so far, but the DB's have to hold up. McKelvins injurt recovery worries me...there is no other #2 with the physical skills. Brooks is a step slow, but a hitter. Searcy can't cover (or Williams for that matter), but he (they) are hitters, and will get their share of turn overs off fumbles, I think. (I am thinking of Leonard Smith, I can't be the only one out there that remembers our big hitting safety of the 80's) Rogers is below average, maybe one of the others can do some good (Butler, maybe) I like Robey's quickness, but he is really small. (I do remember Tony Green, a small package who could really play)

A suspension only occurs if you are still on a team. Marrone may just shove him out the door for stupidity.

Bradham's worst problem will be Marrone.......if what he told DeRick is correct, Nigel will be history.

If the knee does not come around, there will be another QB in the mix......to man the 3rd QB position on opening day. Maybe Brad Smith, maybe somebody else. Believe me, this is a topic of conversation at 1BD.

I brought in a mesh back support. They security guy looked at me funny and I looked right back at him.....neither of us said a word, and I got my back support into the game. My clear plastic bag, which I have had for years for a game bag had a radio with headset and my glasses in it, no problem there either. Of course, my grey hair usually causes them to cut me some slack. Good luck to all dealing with this idiotic mess of rules.

Hogan is like the second coming of Tasker.

I watched Rogers last night, playing 4th sstring and looked lost on special teams. Head not in the game? I don't know, but seems overrated on this board.

For a new coaching staff, the preseason is the opportunity to practice doing a game plan together. This is legitimate , and Frazier has a staff in his third? year....so they have done that before. If Marrone was practicing the game planning activity, that means they will be better at it come opening day. Marrone had it RIGHT!

I think the Wr situation needs to get resolved sooner than later. I am guessing that after game 2 of the preseason they will have their minds made up. And, I think chemistry between QB and receivers is better when more work together is accomplished. So, haveing 12 candidates seems like the work is spread around to much. I would like to see the young talent all stay. Willing to let Brad Smith go, he is at best a journeyman receiver, and maybe not even that, since he has done so many other things in his career. the undrafted guys who can play are really a problem, since the Bills staff is so mentally invested in the draft choices. DaRick needs time to mature, he looks like a stud to me...hope they keep him. Kaufmann was undrafted, and I would like to see him on the practice squad...those speed guys are great until they get hurt. Frankly, I was not impressed with Wood at Indy. Easley is an real question mark. If he is so good now, how come he didn't see the field at all last year as a receiver when he was active? (ran back a kickoff for a TD I recall) Something wrong there, maybe he doesn't have it between the ears. Don't know. He sure looked good at Indy, and I don't understand him being showcased like that unless he/Tuel have some chemistry the others do not.

I support giving Manuel the starting role. I think that using Kolb (or even Tuel) as a relief pitcher is also a good idea. I think the locked in idea that you have to stay with one guy is wrong. People have bad days, some QB's differ in style, even when running the same O. I , for one, don't understand the lack why that doesn't work here. If things are getting real bad for one guy, use a relief pitcher/QB

Williams and Searcy are both big hitters, a sign that they both are best at SS.

There will be three QB's, we know their names.

I think Easley and Tuel might have developed the same chemistry as third stringers that Fitz and Stevie did, and it showed when they got in the game. A confidence thing.......

The Bills need to keep some dry powder to resign Spiller. to bad the NFL doesn't have something like the NBA where the incumbent team has a built in advantage in resigning folks. Not a huge number, but still an advantage. Also, the NBA has a salary cap structure, no individual max in the NFL I think. That leads to delusions on players part.

This is correct. But, if Pettine can delivery half of expectations with the talent he has, it would only take a couple of surprise performances on the O to turn it all around. think the QB's and receivers mostly

Didn't understand when the Pats cut him.....now I do. They could not release the information publically.

Fred a step slower than a few years ago...just saying..time catches up with everybody
