Yep, time will tell. I agree, his ball is more naturally thrown. EJ has a nice tight spiral, but the throwing action is somewhat artificial....its actually what they teach, though, at the QB camps....oh well.

He was a great prospect with bad hips. He may yet heal after his surgery, but it was to much for this year...he was a walking cripple really. I hope he is OK for normal life .

This management group does not look functional. The Byrd mess....should have traded him earlier. the Qb mess, absolutely no foresight. Whaley and Marrone do not seem to have the stones for the job. Only one looking competant is Pettine. And, of course, Brandon is also implicated here. I think Littman is the carrier of the bad decision impetitus, however. Brandon will never be in charge until LIttman is gone and replaced by Brandon's own man. Of course, Byrd wanted to make a miracle recovery to play on national TV on Thursday night......selling himself to the other NFL personnel that were watching. Glad Marrone sat him. Personally, I would have activated him, and used him as a gunner on the punt team. Lets see if he can run and hit. But, with all of two days of full speed work, I also was not convinced he was ready to play a new defensive scheme.

Greer, ok, Florence....was washed up when let go, he would be faster in a wheel chair.

If Manuel is out next week, who will play QB if Tuel gets hurt? Fred Jackson?

I agree about Hackett, but I also question the special teams coach....wondered at the time he was hired. One of Marrone's gumba's, I think. Yes, some questionable officiating the year. But, yesterday was not near as bad as the Baltimore game.....I never saw so many bad calls and missed calls. that business on the Baltimore O line was crazy. The guard was moving in advance on every play, and they call it once during the game. I was there, and I saw it. Funny, very visible from the lower bowl, and not visible on the field.

Not surprised here....saw him kick in person at both the Carolina and Baltimore games. He really was inconsistent, and was outkicked by the punters on both of those other teams. Couple of shanks against Baltimore. I think last night was just the final straw. OF course, the coverage teams are at fault on those returns as well.., but he had to kick high to give time to cover, and he was not doing that. Maybe draft a punter again next year......

Freeman apparently has a (prescribed) drug problem, and is immature. Doesn't sound like a pro to me.....we need pro's on this team, not problems. Let somebody else nurse him along.

Actually, Byrd puts who on the bench....Jim Leonard.....small slow guy who is directing traffic out there because he knows the Defense.......replace with Byrd who has never played a down with this D. Or, do you put A Williams on the bench, who is playing out of his skull right now. Not sure we get an improvement right away.......might be more talented physically if Leonard sits.......but, maybe not as savy. After all, Leonard only has two picks so far, just like Williams. Just sayin......

Yeh, I saw Kiko on ESPN today, live. He did warm up to question about the Oregon Ducks, his alma mater and their team this year. Mostly, I think he could do without the media stuff, however. He plays football, and was quick to credit veterans and coaches helping him to get ready to play this year.

Well, since EJ missed Stevie at least 3 time Sunday, I don't have much hope for Stevie haveing a great season. This pattern is something to be concerned about....they do not have a connection.......Fitz Stevie was a connection. Chemistry is part of the game....and those two, who are supposed to be together are anything but....I was there, and saw the really bad throws. Two behind, one long....

The error in your analysis is that Graham is a wide receiver. He has almost no receiving skills. On a long ball to him against Carolina, which was well thrown, the Carolina db knocked the ball down for a great defend (their only one of the day) But, Graham, the receiver in question never even looked back, and the ball would have hit him in the back of the head had the defensive play not occured. Graham is beyond RAW here. I say, give Easley a shot, he cannot be worse than Graham at this point. (I saw this play right in front of me at the game)

Waiting for the Bills O to wake up.....until then....best to pick the birds.

I am wondering if the Bills are still waiting to find out if Bradham is going to get discipline from the league on the pot thing? why play a guy who might sit out a game or three?

NO, next question please.

I swear I saw Streeter on the field for Oakland last night. I thought he was on Bills PS?

YEs, based on what I saw today, gino Smith has a better arm than EJ . You can stuff all the intangibles.

My take is that the media is playing to the hugh NYC audience......looking for good ratings. Not a football consideration.

Yeh...no team 1/2 sacks. He is either sacked or not. Might share a sack for statistical purposes between players, but the team always gets an integral number of sacks.

Chandler is a shell of his former self after the knee surgery. Although he was in camp, they did notu se him much, and he doesn't look like he is really able to perform at least years level. This is his last year with us unless he steps it up big time. (contract up)

At the game Sunday, I noted several large blocks of seats were totally empty. This was not consistent with the advertised "sold out" condition. This was both in the south upper deck (I could not see the north upper deck) and the south red seats (mostly under cover) I estimate that 3-4 thousand seat were empty there. If it was sporatic attendance, there would have been scatter folks in those areas. These areas were really devote of anybody. So, I conclude that the game was not a sell out, and these blocks did not sell at all. So, why the "sold out" status and local TV. I am thinking that the Bills are doing this to promote interest after many loosing seasons.....and in anticipation of accepting 90 Million NYS dollars to redo the stadium. They don't want a flap about a blackout right now. Anyhow, I know when the stadium isn't full (40 year season ticket holder), and the stadium was missing a lot of folks on Sunday. Surprised this hasn't already surfaced on this forum.

Can't judge #3 yet, needs to heal his hand. But, at th3 back end, Meeks and Richardson haven't shown me anything. Cuts later, when Byrd is healthy.

I was there, he is playing better than he ever has......and, he covered Smith.....when Cam overthrew Smith, McKelvin actually showed his speed, outran Smith easily trying to go for the int. He has SPEED, and now, apparently, ball awareness and technique.

Williams needs to work on self control, really bad pf penality gave the ball back to Carolina...still needs to mature. But, he was hitting a load, he IS a safety!!!

If he sits all year, it will be hard to get that sweet deal he wants....he has an incentive to play. If he sits all year, the Bills will cut him loose, and he will get another 1 year NFL contract somewhere, but not the megabuck one he wants.
