If Morse can't go it would seem Feliciano is the starter. Long then backs him up.

Well said.

Then the Raiders should just tell him he doesn't get to play and tear up the contract he signed. Enough is enough with this moron.

If you look back at Morse’s interview with WGR he talks about some extensive testing in the offseason which indicated he didn’t have much recurrence risk. I presume the front office knew something about that. I think this is a classic case of folks here thinking have more knowledge that the fromt office. Beane took what I’d call a calculated gamble perhaps, but he had a lot more data available to make that play. And if it doesn’t work out then he lost.

He played it with a messed up hand last year. And it seems clear Feliciano is the main backup.

The worst case scenario is that Morse cannot come back and they reach an injury settlement. In which case it was pretty smart for Beane to have also brought on both Feliciano and Long, both of which can play the position.

The only generational player that ever played Guard was John Hannah.

I rewatched and it seemed to me the throw to Brown down the left sideline he was trying to go back shoulder and they weren’t on the same page. That should improve with time.

My guess is the starting front will look like this: Dawkins/Spain/Morse or Feliciano/Ford/Nsekhi

Don't forget Sweeney

I'm not sure if you watched the game last night, it would seem you didn't, because Feliciano started at C with the first team. It would seem he is Morse's backup, plus Long can play C. Bodine will be playing elsewhere I suspect.

So by saying you want him to be perfect you mean you don't want him to be perfect

"I want JA to make every throw as perfect as possible" Your words, not mine.

Like other Qbs are perfect. If that is your expectation then the Bills have never had nor will ever have a QB that meets your expectations, nor will any other team in the league.

Bull crap. Plain and simple. Several folks here broke down every single pass he threw last year and showed you're wrong. Your problem is you do not understand what the term accuracy means. I have said repeatedly around here that he needs to be more precise with his placement, and some get on me for that. But this asinine argument about one throw last night shows my point. When you hit a guy right in the hands, right in the hands, that is very accurate. But if you want to talk about, maybe, moving the ball about six inches one way or the other, then you are talking about precision. And he was both highly accurate and precise with that throw, he put it right where he needed to put it, so the safety coming up couldn't get to it. Allen needs to be more consistent, I've said that all through the off season, and a lot of that will be him taking the short pass, having more time in the pocket, and so on. All of which we saw last night. If this is going to be what we have to put up with this year, nitpicking every single throw by the guy, ignoring when he makes a good throw and just making up issues with other good throws, it's going to be a long season around here.

How many times do people have to be told the completion percentage has nothing to do with accuracy?

If people are going to nitpick Allen on the throw to Jones on the 2 yard line, then you might as well just say there will never be a successful QB in Buffalo in the eyes of such fans. If hitting a guy right in the hands doesn't suffice for some there's really not much to say. And spare me the he should have led him more on that throw; if he had the safety that was closing would have either knocked the ball out or knocked Jones out. Allen missed a throw or two, no question. That throw wasn't one of them I saw him going through progressions more than he did last year, going to his outlet in Beasley (who will be very busy this year it seems), throwing it away (the ball to the TE was put where only he could catch up to it, and if not then a good throw away). Things you want to see a young QB start to get. I think it's mental. The guy set an NCAA pass receiving record; it's not like he can't catch a football. But he fights it. I thought he'd catch the first TD pass of te year; I'm not so sure he makes the roster if guys like Phillips keep playing well.

It was not behind him. It was right on him. What game were you watching?

They are not a wash. You can’t be critical of one throw and then ignore him hitting Jones right in the hands in between two defenders. The only way that logic works is if you’re trying to pick out only negatives. The TE throw has been discussed by others and I’ll have to look back to see what you’re talking about with Brown.

The one inaccurate pass he threw was the low ball to Jones, and he said he wanted to bring it in lo w so the defender couldn't come over the top to knock it down. Basing your disappointment on an N of 1 doesn't cut it.

I beg to differ. They have a very good O line. They didn't use their starting LT last night, but the Bills D dominated their interior line.

You can tell when a team is getting better when you cut guys that wind up going to other teams and starting. I suspect that happens with a couple of the O line guys this year.

Try to do a limerick to summarize: An Argentine gaucho named Bruno Wait, that’s something else. Defense was very solid. O line - guys that started last year will get cut this year, and we’ll be OK at center even if Morse is our. Allen was OK, missed a couple throws but made good reads and Beasley is going to be very busy this season.

I wouldn’t say we were arguing. He used a 1932 study of IQ in Scotland to back up his point which was kind of silly. More modern research suggests men as a group may be higher at the smart and dumb extremes of the curve. The question is why and whether it would have to do with environment and not some inherent difference. I woulda still say that when one states women have to know what they’re getting into sounds misogynistic, but he clarified that a bit. So we were just discussing. Regardless of anything else I think Gase is a jerk for walking out so quick right after his child is born.

I suppose my opinion is affected by having a wife who is at the top of her profession, as well as two daughters, one of whom graduated magna ***** laude from college and one of whom is getting free ride offers from several collages because of her grades and test scores. You are correct in that men need to know what their getting into before marriage. So do women. Couples who succeed in marriage have those discussions up front, and are willing to compromise for the other. And I think a reasonable compromise would be to stick around after your wife has just given birth via C section to one of your children. But that's just me, I guess.
