  1. This is the first time that I have ever posted on this board, however look over and read articles daily. I live in the Midwest, and purchase the Directv nfl package every year to watch the Bills, only by the end of the season get let down.Ever year I tell myself i'm not going to renewal the nfl package only to renew every year for the past 15 yrs, and will again this year. I'm extremely excited about this year being the year, the BILLS make the PLAYOFFS, and once in the playoff nobody knows what will happen. I too agree with a few others that have posted that Cassell is the safe option, he may not flash or jump off fantasy boards, however if he can manage games, keeps turnovers down, that is all we can ask of him(that is about all we are going to ask or get for other options out there at this time). If he would happen to play above that expectations, then it will make the Bills a team to look out for. I believe the approach Rex is taking is by saying it is on open competition, was to try to keep the confidence of both EJ and Tylor up. If Rex would of called Cassell the open winner before camp, and one the others happen to step up, and he would then name them the starter, the media would be second guessing him ALL the time. If I would say I didn't think there was options out there that I liked better then Cassell, I would be lying, but the Bills are in camp with the options they have, so I say let it play out (hasn't even been a week in camp).

    I see you're adopting the Rex Ryan approach. You believe the competition is a fraud, but you'll let it play out.

  2.  

    And what the hell make you think that he would have done any of that with the Bills?

     

    It's like you all think QBs play in a bubble.

    People shouldn't forget that Tanny was groomed by the same OC he had in college. He walked into a nice situation and he's certainly done well with his opportunity. I give him credit, but don't downplay his situation. He still has to lead the Dolphins to the playoffs...

  3. I am too but would you be less comfortable with EJ Manuel as an opponent?

    I have no idea. EJ's been playing against this defense every day. He'll still be a mediocre QB, but maybe he ends up being a bad matchup for Buffalo.

     

    That's the great thing about sports and football. Sometimes a player/team just has your number. Keeps things more unpredictable and exciting. You go in to play a bad team and they suprise you and vice versa.

     

    I'll stick with keeping Tanny in Miami.

  4. I am actually really excited about Harvin. Would not be surprised if he gets a few TDs/favorable field position on ko returns and makes some defenses look stupid on screens. That type of production is what this offense needs to score and move the ball.

    Greg Roman will be coordinating his bread n' butter offense that got the 49ers to the Super Bowl. I'm not even worried about the QBs.

     

    Just go with Tyrod as another guy who can hit a home run with his legs. When they get the offense into a rhythm, he'll do enough with his arm, too.

  5. I would just like to point out that our team has not made the playoffs in FIFTEEN YEARS

     

    Can we start there........please?

    I just don't want to end there. I want a playmaker, not just a manager. Cassel is a backup. I'm hoping Tyrod or EJ are a little better than that.

     

    But, on paper our D should be better than either of those teams. I agree with the OP's point. That train of thought is where I've been since we traded for him. Sure it would be better for TT or EJ to steal the job and give the coaches no choice, but Cassell still gives us a great shot IMHO.

     

    Those teams had plenty of talent. Buffalo's got plenty of talent.

     

    Maybe I'm being greedy, but I want more than a journeyman backup. Fitz, Orton, Cassel....hopefully one of the young guys can be more of a game-changer.

  6. We dump EJ for a 6th or 7th at best, btw great first round pick Doug, (note Geno has not thrown an INT in all of training camp).

     

    Cassel flat out stinks so we cut him before the season starts.

     

    We go with Tyrod and Simms as our two QBs to start the season.

     

    The winner of our QB competition is NE, NYJ and MIA.

     

    I think I am going to throw up.

    you're trying to imply that Geno is better than EJ?

  7. Agree. Hate watching receivers slow down to find balls. These receivers are fast and EJ knows that. I'd guess coach said he doesn't want to see underthrown balls and EJ took it seriously lol

     

    Edit: There were a few yesterday that I saw from Matthew.

    I've heard a lot of people talk about Gilmore being a shutdown corner...not saying he's bad but I feel like his tires are being pumped a little too much. He had a good season last year but I don't think he's anywhere near Revis/Sherman YET.

     

    Can I get some discussion on this?

    He keeps having slow starts, due to injuries mostly. Then he gets into his rhythm in the second half of the season and has games like the GB game. I haven't bothered looking at his numbers in depth, but I think I've read that they're in line with the best in the league.

  8. On the contrary, I viewed Darby as a Day One starter. I use nfldraftscout.com to get my initial impressions on college players and they had him with a late-first round grade, I think. 1st round physical talent with some questions in the technical aspects of his game. When the Bills drafted him, I figured they would mold him into that press-man coverage CB that this defense needs. I wouldn't be surprised or worried ifbhe starts right away.

  9.  

    How is this getting ugly for the league? The Patriots have already admitted responsibility, paid the fine, and fired the two employees involved.

     

    And now they're !@#$ing around with a federal case.

     

    This should get ugly for the Patriots, if anyone.

    Because it wasn't getting swept under the rug.

     

    They only admitted to guilt and paid the fine to protect Brady! They're the victims here!! Leave the Pats alone!!!! :cry:
