Great, from a 20+ point blowout loss to a Win now that Thad will play. Yahoo!!
I still think his illness (reportedly the flu) was more the reason he sat out 2 days of practice....
-
too beat up to compete this week. Bills will look like s__t on national TV yet again. boy this gets old. root for the defense and special teams. That is all we have this week. Anyone see Kellen Clemens stink it up Monday night? that is what you will get Sunday. Just need to be quiet when the offense is on the field and go nuts the rest of the time.
Yep, but hidden behind the Monday Night score is the fact that a nothing Rams team outgained Seattle in total yardage 339 to 135. No one would have predicted that. They sacked Wilson 7 times. The determining factor in the game? Wilson only threw for a net of 91 yards but 2 TD's. Clemens threw zero TD's and 2 INT's. Protect the ball!

They said yesterday he had an illness (Flu)?...so hopefully that's the major reason why he's not practicing, not the ribs. I'd still take my chances with a recovering Thad Lewis off half a practice, than Tuel off a full week of practice. I just can't picture Tuel leading the team to any points, other than maybe a couple long FG's.

I think the Bills defense really needs to step up if the Bills have any chance at winning this game. The offense is beat up so lets hope the defense can dominate. And speacial teams can't give up any big returns either.
The last home game that the defense needed to really step up (Cinci) they failed miserably in the first half. I do think Cinci is a better overall club than KC, but the Chiefs will nickel and dime you to death with the short stuff and ball control it all the way down the field for points.
The Bills D just has to get off the field, and get a few turnovers (which will be hard to do since Alex Smith does not throw many high risk passes).
-
Relax man. He was thrown into his first NFL game due to injury and he performed poorly. That in no way indicates that he will never be able to play in the NFL as a backup QB. I would have no problem giving him another shot with a full week of preparation.
I don't know man, i was at the Bills/Redskins dress rehearsal game in DC back in August. That game mattered for Tuel big time and he played the final 3 1/2 quarters. He was 10 for 17, 63 yards. The guy looked like a poor man's version of Trent Edwards and that's not good at all. I saw Zero "it" factor and i saw nothing in that Browns game to change my mind.
-
You can't go into this big "whiteout" game with Jeff Tuel as the starting QB. The KC D will eat him up alive. What a run of luck KC has had facing backup QB's huh?!?
If Tuel does start, that is our coaching staff throwing "spaghetti at the wall" and hope it sticks. They have no idea if this kid can play in a big game.
-
He must be feeling really bad. I mean it's not like he doesn't need the practice or something. If Tuel starts we're gonna lose. If Thad starts i think it's 50/50.
-
Urban Stadiums like Seattle and Baltimore are tougher for tailgating. I mean you do have some season ticket holder Lots nearby the stadiums that hum with activity but it's not like out in Orchard Park. We have wide open vast areas to throw footballs around and go nuts.
I tailgated in Baltimore a few times under the I-95 overpass. It gets all smoky from grills and you feel trapped inside.
-
So, does he still have that hot Cowboys cheerleader girlfriend?
-
I like Thad but hope EJ can come back before the bye. Hopefully his knee heals quickly like it did in preseason. I can see the Bills beating KC on pure emotion but something tells me Thad won't get them to the bye 3-0 even though Pitt and the Jets are nothing special.
-
Injuries are part of the way players are judged overall. If a guy is injury-prone, unfortunately he's not all that valuable and will never live up to his potential. Hopefully Goodwin and EJ prove to be durable after this season.
-
Winston is better than Manziel in my opinion.
-
It's a tough one. I get that they want to secure a unique name...something that high schools and colleges (who used to have Indian names) haven't already used. But still, all i can picture when i hear this is Mel Gibson running around 13th century England with a huge sword.

The Chiefs have a very good defense, one of the best RBs in the league, good WR in Bowe and a solid yet unspectacular QB in Smith
7-0 is 7-0 no matter who you play
Very true. No one can bust on KC's record as being fluffed up. They've beaten everyone on their schedule and it's not like they are Alabama playing FCS schools. Every NFL game is men on men.
That being said, if the games go this week as expected (KC beats Cleve, NO beats Buf)...i expect KC to run into an absolute buzz saw in Orchard Park next weekend. I actually think Cincinnati is a better overall club than KC and the Bills hung in there. I do think they will beat an undefeated KC team which would be very cool.
-
You gotta be happy if you're a Browns fan. They were going 5-11 or whatever with Richardson or without him. Now they get an extra #1.
-
My opinion is that New Orleans is 2 TDs better than Buffalo when the game is played in New Orleans...if the game were played here I'd likely feel differently.
However, it's been 3 calendar years since a Sean Payton-coached team has lost in the Superdome...I have trouble seeing this Bills team being the one to break that streak.
I'd absolutely love to be wrong though.
The AFC has been surprisngly tough vs. the NFC this year. Let's hope the Bills D and special teams play a ridiculous game and NO comes out rusty like Miami did (after their bye).
-
I expected the Bills to lose at Miami and at New Orleans. If they somehow win to go 2-0 i will annoint Marrone & Co. to football royalty..and i already hold this staff in high regard.
-
They remain a sad, sad program. I can't believe that in nearly 20 years, UB can't pull it together.
Well, 5-2 overall and 3-0 in the MAC thus far. Maybe they have pulled it together, finally. They've beaten some bad teams but to crush them like they have is impressive for any UB team.
Over the last 4 games they've outscored their opponents 148-29. Not quite Baylor-like but very impressive for UB.
-
Like what the defense has done. but if they were bordering on elite, they would not have been roasted by Cinci at home.
Overall, huge improvement from last season...not even close.
-
Freeman was slated to start this Sunday against GB, but has a concussion. MIN may have to turn to Ponder to start. Can you say disarray?
Seems like a convenient way to give Freeman more time to get prepared without saying he is being replaced. We heard nothing about this injury until today. He looked awful and starting Ponder vs. Green Bay could not be any worse for the Vikes.
-
I'm surprised the hit and Thad's reaction didn't get any National airtime on Monday. It really was violent. If that was Brady or dare I say Geno, we would've seen clips of it in every highlight package.
-
He says something funny to the Miami RB after dumping him for a loss like... "don't make me chase you" Lol
-
People can nitpick some of Marrone's in game decisions to death (all coaches make good and bad decisions).. Fact is he has instilled a level of toughness and an "expect to win" and no quit attitude. Under his leadership he and his staff are changing the culture in Buffalo.

Thad listed as doubtful

Tuel leading the Bills to victory over the 8-0 Chiefs...even if he only throws 12 passes...would be the biggest upset in years. There's just no way, KC would let the Bills running game beat them. They'd make the kid throw downfield and he looked like a poor mans Trent Edwards in preseason with almost no pocket presence to boot.
