Truth hurts.

I don't like the options. EJ's job is safe for as long as it takes Orton to learn the playbook. Once that happens, Manuel's job is on the line. Paying Orton $5 Million is a huge sum for a backup. The Bills FO and Marrone must have little confidence in Manuel. Why else pay that kind of money?

Over. I think EJ is on a short leash. Too many open receivers in preseason not getting the ball.

Sho got that right! The Bills are my drug and I'm an addict.

Marrone is feeling the pressure and realizing that the offense is not where it needs to be.

I don't see letting Levitre leave as a con. Levitre is way overpaid by Titans. Not finding a replacement for Levitre for 2013 season is a con. Also, I see signing Chris Williams as a con.

EJ did miss 6 games last year due to injury. My top 3 are QB, Bills offense converting 3rd downs, Bills defense stopping 3rd downs.

Hopefully the first string offense can score a few td's against TB and I think EVERYBODY feels better!

+1 The NFL Network has reported numerous fights and scraps among several teams. Pat Kirwan opined that the new CBA and all of its rules regarding number of practices, practice duration, and number of days in pads leads to more intense practices resulting in more fights. The only thing that concerns me is Hughes acting out of line but Marrone handled that. Everything else is football.

Agreed. It's up to CK to get his stuff together and push for playing time. He's a young guy and hasn't played football all that long so he has some time.

On run plays, the coaches are looking for the Oline to keep their pad level low and drive the guy off the line of scrimmage. They are also looking for the Oline to maintain contact (engaged) with their guy until the whistle. If there is a stale mate at the line of scrimmage it is considered a defensive win. Too many times, Legursky and Urbik are being stood up at the line (failing to maintain low pad level), not getting any push downfield, and are not engaged with their guy until the whistle. If you have a dvr or TiVo watch the line play on running plays and you can usually figure out the good, the bad, and the ugly. I played oline in high school and don't claim to be an expert.

Glad to see Glenn back and a chance to see Henderson at RT. Didn't Urbik play center a couple of years ago when Wood was out hurt?

Dareus is doing stupid things but releasing him would be even more stupid

The trash guy came by at 0730.

Taking lemons and making lemonade. Feel bad for the young man regarding his career but happy for him that Seahawks treated him well. Seahawks are separating themselves from the rest of the league both on and off the field.

I'm pulling for this guy. Hopefully he can get it together and play to his abilities. If he does the Bills got a steal.

Bortles seems already on the path of a bust. Third overall pick and they are going with Henne as the starter for 2014. Why even draft him especially at the 3rd spot.

One of the 8 players suing is former Bill WR J.D. Hill. Saw him interviewed on CNN. He said he became addicted to pain killers that the team gave him and it took him years to beat the addiction.

For me it's the 70's. OJ running loose all over the place, the Steel Curtain, the Raiders, the Cowboys. Just great football all around. Plus the Patriots sucked! For Bills only, has to be 60s or 90s.

Well I certainly do not know what Jerry loves more - being filthy rich or being a media whore. I lived in Baltimore at the time when the colts left for Indianapolis, Baltimore was absolutely devastated by it. I'm sure Browns fans were just as much when the team moved to Baltimore. Hopefully the majority of NFL owners have a sense of NFL history or allegiance to Buffalo and are willing to here viable options to keep the Bills in Buffalo.

I didn't pay much attention to Sammy before the draft because I didn't think we would draft him. I checked out his highlights on youtube a couple of days ago. I recommend checking them out if you haven't done so. He is a very versatile player and there are several ways to get him involved. Plus we have Williams and Woods who are pretty good too.
