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!!!!Aren't you contradicting yourself in this post? We did address the qb situation by grafting EJ didn't we?
-
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.When McKelvin got his roughly 5mil a year, many of us were not happy about it. He was pretty bad in coverage and definitely not someone we wanted as a #2 cover.
Most of the rationale was that we actually only paid him 2.5 mil as a cb and 2.5 mil as a returner. From what he showed last year, possibly worth it.
Now that we have Goodwin, who I'm going to assume is taking those jobs, is the McKelvin deal still looking okay to you?
To me, the only reason it's okay is that we are amazingly shallow at the cb position and don't have any other options at this point. If we did, I'd personally say that the deal was terrible now that we have a possibly even better returned that we are barely paying. I'm pretty sure we could have used that 5 mil to throw at another CB or contributing player.
It's all a moot point, but just something I was thinking about

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.A 4 game suspension is likely
-
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.I think that Rogers is on the roster because you won't be able to PS him. They are going to give him a chance to show some of his enormous potential at least for this season. You took a chance on him because of his talent so you have to see if he can develop and stay out of trouble.
I still think that they try to deal a WR for Oline depth. Brad Smith for a guard. And before a hear that he has no trade value a WR with 3 years experience and zero career catches just got traded. I am not saying that you will get much but you can get a OL as good as some of the guys that are in camp.
That leaves 1 spot which I will give to Torell Troupe.

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.If we are to trust the posted depth chart, I think it answers this question. Aaron Williams is listed as the starting SS, and Jairus Byrd is listed as the starting FS, with Searcy as his backup. I also think that, minus Byrd of course, this has been how they have been lining up in training camp: Aaron Williams at strong, and Searcy at free.
-
There will be three QB's, we know their names.Exactly. However he hit receivers in stride and generally looked impressive. To me he looked better than EJ, but EJ was playing against the Indy starters (of course he was playing with the Bills starters as well, which is an advantage).
I saw Tuel early in camp and figured he wouldn't even make the practice squad. I was very pleasantly surprised today.
Can Marrone go with 2 rookie QBs?
-
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 mostlyHard to disagree with a low ranking from any media source at this point. Really, other than Spiller and Jackson, and perhaps Stevie, who else has shown anything on offense? And last time I saw our D, it was having a historically bad season, which was worse than the terrible season it had the year before. Too many question marks to justify a much higher pre-season ranking.
GO BILLS!!!

Didn't understand when the Pats cut him.....now I do. They could not release the information publically.
If you were Belicheat, how would you prepare?

A lot of what the Pats will see has not been shown in preseason. Tuel will handle it if he has to start. Tuel has nothing to lbe afraid of, nobody thought he would be where he is today. If he is the backup, he will also be ready. Look for Leinart to be #3 against the Pats, unless they decide to go with the guy from Detroit. (he might be cheaper, anyhow) Leinart never made it in the league, hard to figure, he was all world at US C. If he has better attitude now, he might be another Kurt Warner late bloomer. Warner kicked around for quite a few years before becoming the SB QB he was.
