Why can't the Patriots put it on the ball on the ground like this when they play us?
I know. We have a better defense than Denver.
-
The Patriots have now fumbled THREE times in the 1st quarter. Amazing.
-
If this game goes well, it will be a clean sweep of AFC team losses for the Bills' bye week! Let's go Broncos!
Nice fumble by Ridley for a defensive TD. 7-0 DEN.
And now Brady is strip sacked and the Broncos have the ball in the red zone. Wow.
14-0 DEN. This is an absolutely beautiful start to this game, but you know Brady can never be counted out.

The Bills have 4 winnable games coming up. If they take care of business they are 8-7 going into week 17 against Pats and probably with some playoff possibilities left.
Of those 4, I think TB is the game they are most likely to lose. Though this team has shown us Jekyll and Hyde even in the last 2 games so it wouldn't shock me if they lose 2 or more of these "winnable" games. Hope the Jets win was enough for this team to pull together and go on a run. It begins and ends with EJ. Unfortunately, there is no margin for error for him to be inconsistent, whicj a rookie typically needs.

San Diego still plays Bengals, Chiefs and Broncos.
-
The Patriots would have to lose out and the Bills win out for the last game to be for the division. That ain't happening.
-
I was thinking the same thing. Still I like our chances against a rookie QB.
Bucs are probably saying the same thing about the Bills.
-
That game vs. Bucs not looking as easy as it did 3 weeks ago...
-
They have 2 wins and absolutely nothing to play for. No excuses in week 13.
-
What I haven't seen anyone mention is that Glennon looks dorky. He could never be the face of a franchise.

I know this is not the right thread for this type of sentiment, but I would just like to see EJ continue to progress in these last 5 games to give the team some real reason for optimism next season. Making the playoffs this year was never a realistic expectation, although I do enjoy being able to maintain some hope for it
But as long as the team continues to play hard and EJ is more good than bad, I will be satisfied with this season.
That being said, the Bills are the better team in the next 3 games and certainly have the edge against MIA at home (beat them at home last year, beat them on the road this year). So it doesn't feel implausible to me at all that they could be 8-7 going into week 17 with a chance to make the playoffs with a win against the Pats and some help from other teams around the league. Now that would be fun.

Nothing warms my heart like watching Pats fans who can't lose with grace.
-
The Bills are currently drafting 7th. For them to overlook any team would be absolutely ridiculous. Marrone has his flaws, but one thing he seems to be very good at is getting the team ready to play, both game plan-wise and psychologically. The PIT game was the only game of the 11 they've played where it seemed like they weren't ready for it, and a lot of that I'm sure had to do with Manuel's first game back after the injury.
-
It all means nothing if they don't beat Miami at home. They split with Miami and NYJ last year so they have to win at least 3 divisional games for it to be progress.

All week I was saying I would rather the bills lose with Manuel playing well than win with Manuel playing bad. It was great to see him bounce back after last week and look like the QB we thought we remembered from before his injury. He didn't play a perfect game but he was good, competent, with flashes of excellence and no major mistakes. In other words, exactly what you would hope for from a rookie with potential.

Manuel's stats through 6 games are comparable to Russell Wilson's. This is notable because I am quite certain the organization was hoping he would be a Russell Wilson type when they drafted him early. Remember, no one thought the Seahawks got a steal immediately when they drafted him in the 3rd round. So the Bills did their homework and took a calculated risk that they could get that value from EJ and wanted to make sure they got him.
So obviously Manuel will need to improve in order to keep pace with Wilson, but we can't just decide that he won't do that until he has a chance to play the games.
-
Let's stop speculating and actually look at the stats for EJ's first 6 games. Great article:

Just so everyone remembers comparing Manuel to Brady after beating Carolina in week 2. Maybe similarly we shouldn't jump to conclusions in the other direction after one bad game.
-
Sine you're no longer The Right Manuel for the Job...You're suddenly a critic of any EJ supporters? How's that broken ankle?
I picked the name because I thought it was a clever play on words and I had tremendous hope that he was going to be great. I don't like what I've seen. So what's better? Admitting I was wrong to be so high on him before he had proven himself or do what many on here do, which is to continue to base their support for him on "gut feelings"? When his play warrants my support, he will have it 100%.
-
It's just perfect that the EJ Manuel apologists already have their excuse if he has a bad game on Sunday. No need to even start a new thread - everything you need is right here.
-
Anyone who saw the photos Buscaglia tweeted of Spiller missing wide open holes straight up the middle would not call him the Bills' best talent. He may have the most talent physically, but he neutralizes it with his atrocious vision and lack of toughness. All important to being a talented football player IMO.

Cue the "should have kept Fitz" threads.
