Tasker had a rough day with the Vikes game... I actually thought he was decent until that one, but I don't live locally so have only heard him on the national broadcasts.Believe me, the Bills homer announcers are equally as brutal. Particularly Tasker. Loved him as a Bill, hate him with a white hot steaming hate as an announcer.

Well, if what I've read around here is any indication... we won't need a punt returner!
-
With McKelvin our #1 CB (it is sinking in now), I am thinking that it is not a good idea to put him back there on punt returns especially since he tends to get injured... a lot. We saw Woods do pretty well in the PS but that makes me nervous as well, really want him in there as the #2 WR as I think he is going to be a stud and great help with the rookie QBs. Is there any reason we wouldn't use Goodwin on punts and kicks?
-
CJ is doing the right thing and the only thing he could do. I am not sure what he would do if this occured during the regular season, but it didn't, and from a football perspective I am glad he won't be on the field Thursday. I also like how Marrone handled it - told him to go home and to let them know if he needed anything.
-
Sure, that too. I don't care where he is as long as it isn't here.You mean the STs

I have heard this about Asomugha a few times and thought I was heariung things (that he may not make the team in SF). It is astounding to me how far he has fallen in a few years in terms of his value. I would love to get him!! He can still play, watched him in a PS game the other day, but SF is just stacked.Snippet from an article on CBS with regards to cuts:
Older players can be in jeopardy during the final cutdown because versatility becomes a factor. Players making up the back end of a roster are required to play special teams. Older players are at a disadvantage for these spots because they usually haven't been special teams contributors since early in their careers -- before they became starters. Backup older players don't have much utility unless they are making a significant contribution to the offense or defense (i.e.; pass rushing specialist, nickel defensive back, third-down receiver, etc.). Example: Four-time All-Pro Nnamdi Asomugha could find himself out of work in San Francisco if he doesn't win the third cornerback/
Will this really happen and if it does, will the Bills jump and get him.

Airs on ESPN2 Tuesday 9/3 at 8pm EST. Other rookies will be Sharrif Floyd, Tyrann Mathieu, Marcus Lattimore, and Denard Robinson.

I have found two camps with Tuel, nationally. Those making it a "typical Bills" punchline and those rooting for the kid with this David v. Goliath situation. Everyone loves an underdog.This type of stuff stops hurting after year 19 of Bills "fandamnation". Its cool though I like the underdog. LETS GO BUFFALO!!
-
But Crezdon Butler > Matt Cassell. At least Butler played corner in college.
Hell no, but the minimization of this injury and the comparison of it to the Brady injury was just so ludicrous I couldn't help it. -
Another one: Wanny is in Tampa Bay dumping the vanilla extract into their defense.
-
Same lower body injury that kept him out of OTAs and camp. Sucks.Geez, what's going on with this guy?
-
I actually have a feeling he will have some success on Thursday. I don't think this is the worst signing. I think he is more talented and durable than Kolb and supposedly they say he fits the offense well. I would like to see EJ #1, Leinart #2, and Tuel #3/PS.
-
Can you play corner? Sign here...Just bring on the Patriots. If I have to run out on that field myself and play defense I will. But, don't expect me to play QB.
I am fine with Tuel starting.
-
The jokes are piling in on Tuel being named the starter (as of now) for week one on the national shows. But at least we aren't the Jets, who actually won their PS game this weekend but you would never know because the media only makes fun of their coach and QBs. It is getting ridiculous how much negative attention that team gets. At least ours is an injury situation, not our own doing. So far, I really like Coach Marrone has handled everything with the media.
Can he return kicks?TCU cornerback Jason Verrett
I listened to Marrone's presser and it seemed to me he was just saying that they have to prepare with Tuel as #1 because EJ can't practice yet and the other 2 guys just got there. I would be surprised if EJ doesn't end up starting against NE.
This is exactly what I heard... he is the only one that can practice right now so.... he is the one! I am sure that will change.Haven't had time to read an etire article, only hightlihgts....doesn't Marrone say that they are preparing to start Tuel in week 1? That is slightly different than saying Tuel is going to be the starter on week 1. Tuel is the #1 guy, right now, week 4 of preseason, but that could change next week, if EJ is ready.
-
I found another positive - everyone is up in arms about the almanac predicting a major snowstorm for NYC at SB time... so we don't need to worry about that now...
-
Can someone check to see if Brad Utility Smith can play corner... man needs to earn his roster spot.
-
The silver lining could be that, depending on what CB they can pick up in the last round of cuts, that guy replaces Gilmore but then when Gilmore comes back, has shown to be better than McKelvin and we have a new #2
They have the cap space to pull it off. -
Don't remind me. I didn't think it could get worse after the Colts homer announcers then I had to listen to him and Snyder's trophy wife talking about her clothing collection.I'd like to agree with you but Theisman was adamant the bills defensive starters were out there well into the fourth quarter. What a Super beta douschebag he is.

Per Albert Breer Tweet:
Rob Gronkowski has been running for a while now. That the Pats put him in view of the media today is interesting. PUP call comes Saturday.
-
Tuel will hand off to Spiller and Freddy the entire game. Hopefully the defense gives him a short field. Mission: Get Marcia.Who cares haven't you heard Tuel is going to be our starting QB week one. We are screwed.
-
I agree with this approach - as in we should not do the opposite. But at this stage of his career, he is looking to do 2 things: 1)get the most money he can get now while his sock is high, and 2)win. Right now, Buffalo presents neither of these things. I hope that changes.We have all either watched or read about the recent Jarius Byrd interview where he does not seem to want to play in Buffalo anymore. Even though it was just a couple weeks ago it was said that the Bills brass were real close before the deadline and felt confident they could get this thing done eventually. All of a sudden our top 2 QB's get hurt and we are probably going to be starting an undrafted FA at the QB position and Byrd's attitude is flipped. Why? Who knows, all I know is that if he can flip the switch off he can flip it back on again.
That is why I think it is up to us, the fans, the heart that keeps our beloved Bills alive, to try and win him back. We have done this numurous times as recent as Mario. My thought always goes back to the season where we signed Takeo Spikes from Cinci. He was asked what made him want to come to Buffalo and he responded about how our fans, when we played the Bengals in Cinci that year, had pleaded for him to come to Buffalo and showing him know how much we loved our Bills and our players. This may not have been the sole reason but the same goes with Mario, he talked about the community love and dedication to our Bills.
So lets give Byrd a season he wont ever forget and if he decides to leave anyway, show him there is no better fans then Buffalo.

Let me start off by saying I don't predict the Bills will make the playoffs, as much as I want it to happen. Mainly because of the Pats being in our division and our schedule. However, let me present you with 2 teams who made the playoffs last year and why it maybe, just maybe, compares a bit to the Bills:
1) Seattle
-Head coach from the college ranks
-Rookie QB (one who actually was not expected to start in the NFL. Trust me, I watched Wilson a ton in college. Projected Clipboard holder. Made some plays and he was a great leader, but not someone you would think would start for an NFL team)
-Stud RB
- Decent, not great, WRs
-Aggressive, attacking defense
-Awesome home field, 12th man advantage - rise up, RWS!
2) Indy
-Rookie Head coach
-Rookie QB
-NO Running game
-Defense ranked 29th against the run
-Very good WRs including a rookie
-Decent, not great, passing defense - their DBs were about the same or worse than Buffalo's
I look at what is happening today/over the weekend and I start thinking that the season is over. But then I realize that everything can change in the blink of an eye for any team. It isn't like we lose Gilmore, start Tuel, and every other team stays 100% where they want to be and we don't get EJ and Gilmore back and Byrd doesn't come around, and other teams don't have the same things happen. I still think we aren't there yet, but the NFL is just weird. I remember the Steelers starting Dennis Dixon, I think, or Charlie Batch, one game Ben was out and winning becasue the rest of team completely rose up and knew they had to do better.

Denver, Houston, Indy

Not sure this makes sense since replacing Gilmore is short-term and we really don't have a great replacement for Byrd. I don't like Byrd's attitude either, but I honestly don't care how much he pouts, he better produce this year or the contract he wants will never be his, regardless of what team he is on. The reality is that this team is rebuilding and has some good, young talent. It will not have a good record this year because there are too many teams in the AFC that have everything established already. At least we will all go into the season expecting the worse and won't be disappointed. #Tueltime at QB week 1? Sure, why not.
Yes, but they are indeed looking to the future. I wish they could go to the playoffs this year, but it would be a major miracle.Trading for a corner, yes. Trading for a draft pick, no. This team is trying to win out of the gates. They've been playing the "look to the future" game for far too long.
Who do you want to see returning punts?
