Can't believe there are 109 richer people in this country!! So much wealth
-
do you want him to pass the
ball and catch the ball too?yes, the pick 6 killed the game,
so did 4+ dropped passes, the inability for the Offense to pass protect better, and the inability for the Defense to stop Fitzmagic
oh and PENALTIES
The homer denial is tough. Keep holding out guys. "Buying that #3 jersey was a good decision! You'll see! He just needs to complete a season start to finish, THEN he'll be able to complete a pass to a wide open receiver."
-
Mike Williams not so subtly calls out staff for adjusting too late.
"We adjusted a little too late. They were playing press man, and we kept getting calls for zone. When that happens things tend not to work."
It's obvious to the players, analysts, and casual fans. Hackett is a disaster and so is Marone, by proxy.

You should nuke some popcorn and go back to that 6-3 Browns game.
That was what... week 15? Give knee j 11 more weeks. I have confidence we can get there. I billieve... sry just puked on a bay as i said that.
I get the offense was bad. Especially frustrating because we could have won by running more. But, hypothetically here, say PI is called on EJ's pick at the end of the game, like it should have been. Hypothetically, say he throws a TD to win the game one play later. That's one play different than what we saw. By all accounts, still a horrible game for EJ. However, we wouldn't have nearly as much pessimism, because of the win. The missed receivers, tipped passes, late throws, etc. would be an afterthought.
EJ is a young QB. Our coaches are a young staff. Both need to improve drastically. That being said, it does the franchise no good firing coaches or benching our 1st round QB at this point. EJ has potential. Our coaches have potential to be great. They need the opportunity to learn from mistakes and take that next step.
Don't get me wrong. I would love to win now. Orton could maybe provide this. Maybe not. I'm more interested in finding consistency to win for years. EJ needs to play so we can determine if he is part of the future.
Also, we'll make the playoffs this year.
Dude. You are right in the sense that it would mask the real problem for another week. We'd toast being 3-1 and talk about those wacky Bills. Fact is we'd be lying to ourselves, just like i lied to myself after we beat the fish. Complete domination on both sides of the ball for a half... 3 field goals. The problems with this offense and quarterback are deeper than you care tp admit. It's really, really bad. At it's core, the best EJ can do is not lose us the game. He will never win it.

What sucks the most is coming to this board and reading all the pessimism. Reading all the b*tch*ng is WAY harder to stomach than the poor play displayed on the field today.
I hear that. Sorry to pile on. But today's performance is hard to view with "pessimism". Pessimism would be like oh we lost and that stinks and i don't think we can win these close games etc. The last two weeks have been more like... wow. This is the most incompetent display of (offensive) football I've seen at almost any level. It's really that bad.
I'm watching a real NFL game right now. Watching the saints get down but not completely crumble. Watching them to be able to run some plays and sustain a drive here or there. The way the Bills lose is just... i mean how do you describe it? How do you describe a team (or offense rather) that always shys from the moment? Never lifts the team. Better hope the D or special teams (or fred jackson single handedly) makes a play. Otherwise, forget it. 3 and out like clockwork.
-
If I had to choose between Manuel and Trent Edwards, I'd take Edwards. Neither quarterback is going to throw the ball more than 5 yards past the line of scrimmage. (Except on extremely rare occasions.) But at least Edwards' 0 - 5 yard passes are going to be more accurate than Manuel's.
That is so pathetic and so, so true. How low have we sunk that people are still like "just let him get through a FULL season. No not just 16 games. Start to finish. If he gets hurt again... one more do-over" There have been no "flashes" with this kid, people. We deluded ourselves into thinking him making a few STANDARD nfl throws here or there were "flashes". What a complete joke.
-
Sure, if it makes you feel good to say it. Let it all out. It's not your fault.
Feels GREAT actually. Knew he sucked tried to do my part as a Bills fan to Billieve. I mean there are just no positives to be found in his play. None.
-
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.
-
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

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.
