Thank you.
Tough guy syndrome runs rampant around here. It's a wonder all of the hulking, ultra-confident supermen around these parts haven't already conquered the NFL, Al Qaeda, Antarctica and space the way some people talk.
Working with the equivalent of a mental fitness coach is no more a sign of weakness than is working with a strength and conditioning coach.
Please. His weakness is the sign of weakness. He's a weak runner, a weaker passer, and a weak quarterback.
This forum is the most polite internet thing I've ever seen. Credit to the mods for keeping it so clean. But knee j is on blast tonight.
Let me clean it up a bit... EJ Manuel plays football like a coward. Better?
-
Matthew Fairburn writing for syracuse.com noted that EJ is going to be in contact with his mental coach from FSU. I don't even know how to adequately and appropriately respond to this, if true. A mental coach. You've got to be kidding me. Unbelievable.
"Prior to the game, Albert Breer of NFL Network reported Manuel was again working with his mental conditioning coach from Florida State."
Marrone cannot fix someone who's been told for years that he's good. Nor can Hostler, Downing, or Hackett. If a guy's mentally weak because no one has been hard on him at times, then the NFL isn't the correct venue to start.
Seriously. In the words of an FSU QB who is a degenerate but can actually win. "F@#$ this PU$$Y." Football, and especially NFL football, is not the game for you EJ. Get the f!@# off the field. Jim Kelly beat cancer this year. You can't beat Fitzpatrick. Best thing you can do right now is take a que from kevin kolb and slip on a f!@#ing mat and be out for the season/forever.

EJ got beat by ryan pickspatrick who is absolute trash. Who we rightly discarded. EJ is absolute garbage. Just move on already. This is sad. Yes, sometimes it takes QBs time to develop. But there has to be something to develop. He is garbage.
Overdrafted because he is big and tall. Won a few games with a great team arouns him at FSU. Underacheived. What happened when they got rid of him? Oh yeah, they won the national championship.
And Hackett... wow. JV is right. What and embarrasment. Other coaches are cracking up watching game film on us. Probably saying holy hell, it's a good thing they are so dumb because they are actually good. Too bad they're too incompetent to realize it.
I'm tired of being an embarrassment in the NFL. And that's what this team is right now. When my friends watch the games with me, they are absolutely dumbfounded. If you are an NFL fan and not just a Bills fan, it's quite apparent how unbelievably inept our offense is. The game plan, OC, QB, and by proxy, the head coach, are beyond bad. They are disgraceful to professional football. They should be ashamed that people pay to watch their coaching ineptitude.
-
Yeah. Honestly guys nothing else matters without anything resembling the most basic competence from our starting QB. Who gives a **** about a RG when EJ is your starting QB. Swing and a miss by the dougs on this kid. Time to move on.
-
Again, if the Bills score 24 I think they win. Bills 24-20
-
Boy that last one where he didn't see Chandler wide open... c'mon EJ.
-
I think a blowout would be great, but i would also love to see a come from behind win where EJ is throwing down field and making big plays with confidence. I know, he's flahsed it (Carolina), but we're gunna need that typeof play from our O to be really good
-
I saw 80% chance. Did anyone see this forecast? Late afternoon or during the game?
-
You guys will probably blast me for this, but I think one of the best play-by-play announcers out there now is Mike Tirico from ESPN.
Too bad we'll never be on MNF to get him...
I used to DESPISE Tirico. He knew nothing about the intricacies of the game, and always said the wrong stuff at exactly the wrong time.
Now he's the best out there, and my favorite. He does an amazing job, keeps a great rhythm, is exciting to listen to, and banters very well with Gruden (which no one else on the planet seems to be able to do). I gotta say, he has really impressed me. That guy must have worked hard at it, which is pretty awesome.
-
I think this is a game where the offense is going to have to step up and score 28 or more to win. Rivers and SD are going to score points. There are going to be big plays. It won't be a complete domination by our defense like the past two games. Still think D will play great and force some turnovers, as well, but I strongly believe that just not turning it over for Bills offense will not be enough in this contest.
I'm looking for that first big deep pass to break out our passing attack. Flash Goodwin anyone? C'mon Hackett, let's come up with some special for Rivers, Reich, and the Bolts!
Since I'm coming from DC for my first game at the NEW Ralph Wilson Stadium, they better win!
BILLS 30 bolts 27
GO BILLS

Adrian Peterson: 'I am, without a doubt, not a child abuser': http://www.cbssports...-a-child-abuser
Not buying it. Beat the kid with a stick and you didn't know that injuries could occur? Just trying to save his image.
Have you read the texts he send his baby mama after this happened? http://www.nydailynews.com/sports/football/adrian-peterson-faces-years-prison-found-guilty-child-abuse-article-1.1938829
Peterson also allegedly said via text message to the child’s mother that he “felt bad after the fact when I notice the switch was wrapping around hitting I (sic) thigh” and also acknowledged the injury to the child’s scrotum in a text message, saying, “Got him in nuts once I noticed. But I felt so bad, n I’m all tearing that butt up when needed! I start putting them in timeout. N save the whooping for needed memories!”
"Got him in the nuts once I noticed. I'm all tearing that butt up when needed"
Casual, AP.
-
Yeah, forget a trial. Everyone gather together and stone him to death.
Que the drama. Of course have a trial. More likely a plea deal. Since he already admitted everything to the police. I'm not a detective or anything, but a full confession should be pretty compelling evidence in said trial, no?
-
I can't believe anyone is siding with AP on this. Disgusting. Glad I didn't grow up in some horrible family situation like that, so I could be proud to say "Yeah, I got beat. Look how good I turned out." Sickening.
Playing football makes you tough. Athletics teach you discipline. Being beaten and bloodied with a tree branch by a grown man who is supposed to be your idol, role model, and hero when you are 4 years old does not. And it's criminal. AP should be in jail. He is scum.
-
How about the special teams today, y'all? KR for TD, blocked punt, the muffed punt return (granted not really us, but great recovery), any kick they tried to bring they were dropped behind the 20
-
yes. There were at least 2. I know we don't have a pro bowl QB and this is his 12th game so I guess these things are expected. He didn't turn the ball over and managed the game effectively so I am happy. He can improve on the plays he missed after he watches the film. He also wasn't sacked. Nice game by EJ.
Seems everyone's on the same page here. Amazing defensive performance and great team win overall. O needs to find a way to get 7 in the redzone and EJ is still improving. These first two games have to be doing wonders for his confidence though. Sooner rather than later we'll find ourselves in a shootout, and we'll need him to be the QB who can score and win it. I'm much more encouraged that he could be that after these first two games.
-
I'm wondering who that missed TD was on. Was it supposed to be a skinny post (like Watkins ran) or a post (like EJ threw.)
Well the skinny was what was open. Safety had the post taken away. So even if it was watkins did what a smart receiver does and finds the open space. EJ has to see that too.
-
what a freaking pick up by Whaley.
Was a little frustrated that they couldn't shut down that deep out they kept throwing at him, but Graham is a baller. He makes big plays when he needs to. Agreed, great pick up by Whaley.
-
Don't believe he ever played Sunday either. Meant to say Pears.
You did. I agree with 100% of your assessment. Nice write up.

Great opening day win but that game continued a troubling pattern for the Bills. Despite the tried and true statement that the team that wins the turnover battle wins the game, the Bills continue to struggle in games where they actually win the turnover battle. Last year they lost several games when they won the turnover battle, including the opening game against Pats, a game remarkably similiar to the Bears game. When an NFL team wins the turnover battle by a factor of two, they win 82% of the time. Yet we accomplish that yet have to go into OT to win. Last years game v Ravens very similar, win turnover battle by two, barely squeak out game.
The reason for this is pretty obvious. When Bills grab a decent lead, the offense goes into a shell. Against the Bears, a 17-7 lead vanishes as Bills continually attempt to run into a 9 man front, or throw designated (very) short passes. It was a pattern they followed last year.
It's interesting what happened when the Bills suddenly found themselves down 7-0. They came out throwing, and throwing the ball downfield. It was not the running game that got them back into the game, but it was the overly conservative play calls that later allowed Bears back in the game.
Legit points. I said before the season that if the Bills can score more than 24 in a game they are likely to win almost all of those. Hopefully they keep attacking and don't let up. EJ threw big downfield passes to RW and MW late in the game that helped seal the win, so I wouldn't say they have been afraid to throw downfield at all. Let's just hope it continues to improve.

BRING YOUR vuvuzelas!!!!!!

I can't believe what I am reading about this game... I expect this crap nationally, but on this board? THIS week?
This is the first home game after the passing of our hall of fame owner. We are honoring him and our legendary hall of fame QB that just kicked cancers ass! On top of all that, we have just learned that the future of our beloved bills is secure in buffalo.
It's not like we're playing the !@#$ing seahawks! We are playing the dirty, stinky, smelly !@#$ing dolphins! They have no idea what they are walking into. The earth will literally be shaking. There will be such a release of emotion that the thought of it gives me chills. The game will be no contest!
Go Bills!
I hope the guys playing in the game feel the same way!
-
Eric Wood is a strong man. That little shoulder/forearm shot he gave Briggs knocked him clean off his feet. What a block.
EJ looked much better. Hope he continues to improve.
Kyle Williams made just an incredible play on that INT. It's hustle, anticipation, and athleticism all in one. What a huge play for a D-lineman.
-
For me, this rules out us going 4-12 or worse/bottoming out that some had suggested. This was a big win, and there were some clutch performances. The talent on this team is clearly there. Our 3 top WRs and ALL 3-4 (!!!) RBs... goodness. That's talent. But more importantly, the Bills finished red zone possessions and won in the clutch. If they have figured out how to close games, the sky's the limit.
-
First of all, amazing win today! There are a lot of things about the game being discussed in other threads. Just wanted to touch on the BS personal foul that was called on Chandler early in the game.
Perfectly clean block. Hands were inside, it was inbounds, and the whistle hadn't blown. It was a straight up pancake block, exactly the way they coach you to do it. Nothing illegal about it whatsoever. Were the refs just penalizing a bigger player who leveled a a smaller player because he owned him?
I think the refs were just atrocious in general today, but this call in particular really burned me. Every year the NFL gets softer and softer. I understand trying to prevent the hits to the head, but it's calls like these that really make you think they are just trying to take hitting out of the game as much as possible.
Did anyone else feel this way?

Also, as you rush to defend poor, delicate EJ, please consider his salary earned NOT taking the hits to earn it. Literally avoiding contact at every turn.
Even though (please dear god) he'll never get the big NFL payday, he's still taking the Bills and us, the fans, for all we're worth.
Hope his mental coach is the best money can buy.
