DC Greg

Kirk Cousins or 1st rounder. Otherwise I'm good. Learn how to use him Hackett. I know it may take some special additions to your rigid playbook to throw in a few middle screens, but good coaches know how to utilize their talent.

Certainly those are the positives we've seen, and they are encouraging. By all rights the offense should have put the Panthers to bed and rendered that last drive unnecessary with how many times our D stuffed Newton in that game. Likewise in the Baltimore game, thank god for the D for their 5 picks and all the sacks because the O couldn't put that one away either. New England comes to mind as the flip side of that coin, where EJ failed with the ball in his hands on 3 late 4th quarter opportunities to even gain a first down. 3 3 and outs gave Brady the ball back one too many times. But I mean I know, that was his FIRST pro game. I'm definitely on board for giving the pass on that one. Just hoping to see the trend of confidence and aptitude in finishing games. I probably came off as too dismissive in the first post. I am as hopeful as anybody for EJ to turn out! Right now my spock side puts it at 50/50.

I love CJ and think he's a great playmaker/our coaches need to find ways to use him better. That being said, I would love that trade. I doubt it would ever happen because, in my opinion, the front office is so in love with EJ they don't want to bring anyone who might hurt his ego and unquestioned grip on the starting job and potentially derail his fragile state of development. Also, I just don't think the redskins would make this trade. It's so rare to see two legit players get traded in the NFL at all, and really player for player trades in general.

Ryan Fitzpatrick was and is a poor, poor NFL quarterback. He really turned it on and showed some big time stuff for 3 games one season, for which he was awarded an enormous contract. After he took a jarring shot to the ribs via London Fletcher in Toronto vs. the Redskins, he never stepped up in the pocket and delivered the ball quite the same. That and I think DCs just caught on to his limited ability and Chan's playbook full of meticulously designed single route pass plays. Whenever the game was on line, Fitz was the absolute worst quarterback there was. Every time, without fail, you just knew that INT was coming. NFL football is going to be competitive, back and forth. It's the OBs who can make it happen on the last drive that will win those games instead of lose them to take you to the playoffs. Winning those close games at the end is what we haven't done, and what we need a real QB to do. I have serious doubts about EJ, but it's only year two. I'd rather take my chances with him than what I know you've got in RF.

hahahahahaahha no

Uh huh. Seems pretty straightforward. Don't try to shake him down for another hundred mil. Let him use that to make the new stadium even more awesome than it's already going to be!

Billy Buffalo.

Not going to put too much into the HOF game. Hopefully just shaking off some rust and getting a feel for the pace of the game again. Man was that last throw bad though. Right into the linebacker's hands. He was right in the lane. That was a poor, poor read and easily could have gone the other way for 6. Hope to not see more of that.

Some pretty legit hits in this game. Fun to watch.

And in other news, Dan Carpenter is so clutch. Do we really need two kickers?

A strong receiver can fight through that contact and take that ball out of the air. A weak receiver like graham lets his hands be controlled and let's the ball bounce right off his chest and straight up in the air.

Ok. I've seen enough of TJ graham. That spot is Easley's and/or hogan's

Have we blitzed at all?

hmmm Nassib showing some pocket presence and zip on those passes

Yeah. EJ's got some work to do. Hoping to see a lightbulb moment for him at some point this season, preferably sooner rather than later.

What a guy!

Bruce = G O A T

I don't know how I've never seen this before, but it is the most amazing thing I've ever seen. Yeah, he shouldn't have put his head down like that. That's a broken neck waiting to happen. But all's well that ends well... well, for Tasker and the Bills anyways I love his reaction after this hit too. Just gets up with the double fist pump, hard as ****

Best line of the article was the last, "For those counting at home, that's two doomed Bills-in-Toronto ventures to die an overdue death this year." THANK GOD!! Best comment on the article was this one "I know for a fact that, "Jaws: The Revenge" was entirely believable. 'Specially when that shark followed their plane across the Atlantic Ocean. Stellar, top-notch film."

Every time I see Lee Smith on the field I cringe. Perhaps he is actually as good as blocking as I often hear. Maybe I don't pay close enough attention. I seem to notice all those holding flags that get thrown on him that bring back big plays though, as another poster mentioned. He's about as useful in the pass game as Garrison Sanborn.

I'll take the Kiko jersey, thanks!

To leisure!

Well I guess I changed the point then, didn't I? Yeah, except if you try to be leisurely in football you die.

Great talk about what makes sports more exhausting! I've played a lot of sports, and I found boxing (both training and competing) to be by far the most physically grueling. After that is was probably wrestling, football, hockey, soccer, bball, then like, beer pong, then baseball. You can say you run this much in this one, that much in that one... something about getting constantly hit while you do it makes it a hell of a lot more tiring. Also, equipment is heavy and ice skating is tiring in it of itself let alone trying to play hockey while doing it. Then again, I probably always took it easier in soccer than the other sports I played because I didn't care as much. Always just seemed more leisurely.

When you really look back on this list, it's incredible that we fired Wade Phillips. Playoffs two years in a row then one .500 season and he's out. Back before a decade of incompetence our franchise really did demand excellence. If a coach gets us to the playoffs two years in a row again he'll get bare minimum 3 years of missing the playoffs after that before he's canned. Projections for this year? I mean it's safe to stick with all the "experts" and say this has the makings of another 7-9 Bills team. Slightly improved, but still trying to figure out how to win the close ones (of which there are so many). I'll err on the side of hopeless optimism and say 9-7 or 10-6 and we're back in the playoffs. Go Bills.
