Lol, I wish I could take credit for the analysis but it is from BuffaloRumblings.com, link is in another thread but someone said they were having trouble with the link so I cut and pasted it. I can't root for the Pats* either. Against all that is right.Yolo I like your analysis for who to root for with the exception of pats* over broncos. 1. I can't root for them and 2. I want them to lose and play for the division against the Bills week 17!

Tim Tebow led his team to two BCS Championships, and two SEC Championships. As Skip Bayless pointed out, all Tim Tebow does is win.
Not sure what Tebow has to do with this, other than it is another thing Bayless likes to crow about in an obnoxious manner. The Tebow argument of a guy who was very successful in college who wasn't successful in the NFL would only hold water if there were not multiple examples of other QBs were very successful in both. Tebow did not "lead" his team to 2 BCS Championships, btw. In the 1st, he was a freshman who played in certain packages. Chris Leak was the starting QB.

Yes, he looked really disappointed on draft day, didn't he? Life is so unfair.I like the part where Bay-more goes on and on about how it was "unfair to the kid" (EJ) that he was drafted in the first round.
-
But if the rumor is true about him buying it with Kelly, then it doesn't matter, because Kelly does and will.Aha, got it. I think when it's been bandied about that Jeremy Jacobs could be a potential owner that this was the roadblock (that he owns the Bruins). That's what I was thinking of.
I think the team wouldn't get the commitment it needs from ownership with Golisano holding the purse-strings. I guess it could help keep the team in town, but I see it as a holding pattern for football operations.
The team needs someone who loves football and really wants the Bills to win (a Pegula for football -- maybe even the man himself).
I see very little evidence that Bon Jovi is a guy who knows football and will do whatever it takes to win (though a winning on-field product is the most marketable and profitable asset).

Based on what I have seen in Cleveland this year, I think it is safer for Browns to win this one. I can definitely see Pitt winning more games down the stretch. Browns have good D, but no QB and first year HC. Steelers have, well.. you know. Don't think either makes the playoffs but Pitt has chance for better record IMO.Well, I am going to wait for the official red zone channel thread.
Would we all agree we want:
Panthers over Dolphins
Broncos over Patriots
Cards over Colts
Chiefs over Chargers
I think The Steelers would be safer to have a worse record, therefore we should want Stelers?
Ravens over Jets
I think Ravens over Jets?
-
I am getting Steelers-Browns in what looks like it could be a snow game in Cleveland. I am hoping for a tie.

Without the Bills stress!It's like football heaven
The following games are presented in order of importance. Here's who to root for in Week 12.
Ravens (4-6) over Jets (5-5, No. 6 seed)
Buffalo doesn't face New York again, and the Jets are 1.5 games up in the standings. It's the Jets' turn to win in their see-saw season, though. Silver lining: their point differential is the worst in the league, and their conference record is just 2-5. The Ravens will have plenty of chances to lose for Buffalo make up their half-game deficit (full game if they win) on the defending champs.
Panthers (7-3) over Dolphins (5-5)
Buffalo gets a late season shot at home against Miami that they'll need to win, but the Dolphins have to lose one more game. If it comes against an NFC opponent, it's even better.
Chiefs (8-1) over Chargers (4-6)
Buffalo is all but assured of not catching Kansas City. The Chargers still have games at Denver and home against Kansas City to worry about, too. It's going to be tough for San Diego to make a run at the final spot.
Browns (4-6) over Steelers (4-6)
These next two games on our list are close to even for Bills fans. Both the Steelers and the Browns have a win in hand over the Bills, unfortunately. Pittsburgh's schedule looks much easier now coming down the stretch, with games in Baltimore and Green Bay not looking as scary even if Aaron Rodgers is back. Cleveland still has to host Chicago and play at New England, so we'll root for them this week.
Titans (4-6) over Raiders (4-6)
Tennessee has games at Denver and Indy after their trip to Oakland. The Raiders, on the other hand, travel to Dallas and the Jets in addition to home tilts against the top of the AFC West, though Peyton Manning and company could be resting in Week 16. It's probably a wash, but with a better conference record, it would be better if Tennessee came out on top.
Cardinals (6-4) over Colts (7-3)
While it looks like the Colts are going to run away with the AFC South this year, root for the AFC team to lose. If nothing else, it will hurt the strength of schedule for the Titans and strength of victory for the Chargers.
Patriots (7-3) over Broncos (9-1)
Jaguars (1-9) over Texans (2-8)
Buccaneers (2-8) over Lions (6-4)
Similar to the previous game on the list, the Patriots winning would help Buffalo's strength of schedule. Buffalo plays Jacksonville and Tampa Bay, but not Houston and Detroit, so same rules apply. It's the fifth tiebreaker, but it's a tiebreaker nonetheless.
Vikings (2-8) vs. Packers (5-5)
Cowboys (5-5) vs. Giants (4-6)
49ers (6-4) vs. Redskins (3-7)
These games don't really matter to the Bills. Play fantasy football.

For this game, I think it would be an advantage b/c I haven't seen how well Ryan has passed in cold/wind. I have seen EJ do it last week, and Bills (should) have a better running game and defense so thought it would be beneficial this week for a Southern dome team to play in the weather when they come up North.I'm not sure a team built on speedy undersized WRs, and a shifty back really want the dome open anyway.
I agree. But it would be nice to have the option when it would be a perceived advantage. For example, when Peyton played in Indy and they built Lucas Oil with the retractable roof, he never wanted it open unless the forecast was 0 percent chance of anything. When he went there this year as a Bronco to play the Colts at night, they opened the roof. Pretty sure to make a perceived disadvantage to him, as he is an absolute control freak. Yes, he plays in Denver where there is no dome. But pretty sure it pissed him off that they could have closed it and didn't.My friends, every time we have a discussion about domes (in Toronto or in some fantasy Buffalo downtown future), we hear the same suggestion: open the roof in cold weather! That is just never going to happen, ever. It has never, and will never. It defeats the purpose of having a dome.
I say this not because I am happy about the fact, but only because any discussion about domed stadia should be based on the reality of what a dome means. If you get a dome, you will never see a home game outside again. If that's what you want, that's great, but don't delude yourself about an open roof in bad weather. Save the delusions for better things, like dreaming of a Bills Super Bowl win.

Does anyone have the link to the teams we want to win today/tonight to help with our playoff hopes? It was down to a science, even potential tiebreakers including NFC teams. I saw it in one of the threads earlier this week...
Looking for this as well...K, couple of things. Can someone in the know start an official " who we are rooting for " thread. I can't figure it out from the playoffs possibility thread. No explanations, just a list of who we want to win today. That would be greatly appreciated, so thank you in advance if someone does that.
2nd, just posted in the beer OTW thread, still watching the games outside today. 32 here now, wind chills in the 20's...fug it , putting on some long undies, hat, gloves etc. Sit next to the fire, drink some winter warming beers, have a bottle of. Dickel for some quick nips when it gets chilly....even have two other idiots coming over to join me! ( yes, one guy is from BFLO)
-
No, but if he has shown to be more of a winner, that may mean he is.Peyton Manning
Blaine Gabbert
Just because a particular player looks like he should be more of a winner than another player, doesn't mean he is.
Glennon college W/L 16-11 (including 1 Bowl win) NFL W/L 2-5
Manuel college W/L 25-6 (including 4 Bowl wins) NFL W/L 3-3

I wonder if Bills tried to get Rogers Center to delay the winterizing until after the Bills game as part of the contract. If not, they should have!Roof is closed. It has been "winterized" so it cannot be opened
-
How much scouting do you think either of these clowns did on EJ? They have no clue. If they take a chance and say a QB doesn't have a "strong arm" to make their point and then it turns out he actually does, they can just say "well, I was comparing him to Aaron Rogers there..."Does EJ have a strong arm? I thought he did.....but they both agreed near the end of the clip that he doesn't.
I'm so confused now.

Or, as I have mentioned before, Kiko in the 1st and EJ/Woods in the 2nd? Because Kiko is clearly playing at #16 overall level or better. Keuchly was taken #9 overall the year before and Kiko is at his level as a rookie. Also, no one knows if they could have gotten him in the 2nd. That is pure speculation. There are at least 2 teams that said after the draft they were interested in drafting EJ early, Phil and Cleveland. So if he's your guy, you take him. I have no issue with where he was drafted.So would it have made you feel better if they took Robert Woods in the first and EJ in the second?
-
There was this one from Week 11 (pretty spot on except for who they picked to win)With a bye this week the Bills will play their finest game of the season (they missed an opportunity there).
Jets at Bills
OSN’s Pick: Jets – Ed Reed will send a clear message to the Texans that he’s just as washed-up and slow as they thought he was when they cut him last week.

Ah - went right over my head. Sorry, long week!That was the well placed part.
-
Against the Bills? Didn't he have 2 TDs though (while injured)?graham had 3 catches for like 35 yards. they were simply very well placed.
-
Based on what I have seen/heard I agree on Saints fansMaybe I am a little biased because I live in New Orleans but they should be higher. Check out the local TV ratings when they play. It wasn't always like that but EVERYONE here loves the Saints. I have lived in a few of these cities and it is not like that everywhere.

It was a joke.. and I actually posted it before there was anything next to it, it was just the link.Not sure how you missed the "29" next to the Bills in the quote the OP posted, but they're 29.

Kyle Long said the same thing about him... he is somewhat undersized for a MLB but in the right system he is perfectVery good points!
I remember hearing a quote from Mark Asper, the late-round OL we drafted from Oregon a few yrs ago. He was recently re-signed to the practice squad this year, and was then asked about Kiko ... he said something like "I can probably count on one hand the number of times I got my hands on Kiko in practice."
This is the polar opposite of what Kelvin Sheppard did for us playing the same position. He made almost no plays because he was always locked up & dancing with the O-linemen as the backs came through.
Since Teo was hurt for most of TC and really has only played a few games it will tough for him to measure up with the fact he went before Kiko. SD also has no pass rush and that will not help his production. Do they do an overall ROY or is it just the Off/Def? If so he should get the ROY hands down, IMO.cool to see other fan forum comments on our players.. good or bad. That was fun to read...
-
Knock on wood, Bills have been able to cover TEs pretty well (except for Jimmy Graham, but he is kind of uncoverable)No i meant Hughes. Unless he is hurt?
Gonzalez is going to be a hand full.
Stick McKelvin on the Falcons little guy Johnson. Gilmore would be fine with R. White. Roddy does not look right with the injury.
-
I agree - I think some of the disdain about the pick had more to do with the fact THEY got it wrong on who would be drafted when.I stopped listening about 30 seconds into the clip when Stephen A. referenced the "authoritative opinion" of Todd McShay.
What I find funniest about the soothsayers heading into the draft was their ranking of QBs. You catch a glimpse of that with Bayless, who suggested that it would have been OK if the Bills had drafted Landry, Geno, Tyler Wilson, or Barkley. When the card came in that the Bills had selected a QB, most thought the name on it would be either Geno Smith, Matt Barkley or Ryan Nassib. When the name was E.J. Manuel, the draftniks of the world snapped.
