27-23 Bills. This could be one of those come from behind deals where the D forces a huge turnover to lift us to victory.
In this strange NFL season, where all these players and teams are doing wrong....somehow the Bills are the feel-good story of the NFL and will continue to be.

Can we all let out a hearty laugh on Nike condemning AP? The company built on child labor? What's next, slave owners condemning Gulag work camps?
Just as soon as these companies like Nike and Anheuser-Busch come out and condemn the NFL ...they are inviting all kinds of dirt to be dug up on their companies and employees. That's what the press and bloggers will do. I hope they vetted themselves and are squeaky clean across the board.

yeah nice. one guys compares the Bills make-up to the Seahawks. Not bad.
Is this the week we see UB's Branden Oliver get some snaps?
-
Nah, he will let Jimbo continue to roam the sidelines and break down practice with some cheerleading....use the team facilities whenever he wants, etc... No reason to sell ownership shares to Jim.
-
I say the same about Kiko...Getting him back next year will be like drafting an impact player in the first round...
Yup, i've been saying that same thing. "With their 1st pick in the 2015 NFL draft, the Buffalo Bills select Kiko Alonso". It just makes me feel better about that whole (no 1st rd pick) situation!

They got waxed by NE yesterday with AP out. When the Minnesota Vikings, Inc suffers on the field it will impact the bottom line. They are 1-1 with an important game coming up. I'm sure their front office does not want to go 1-2. They will (quietly pray) that the PR nightmare of Ray Rice will not mushroom into a similar thing for AP... I'm not saying i agree with the Vikes here...but if i were a huge Minn fan i might want this to be dealt with AFTER the season when due process happens.
-
I did hear the name blunders. Just as bad were how many times the announcer said after a play "3rd down coming up" and it was 4th down, or 2nd down, etc... The guy screwed up which down it was several times. Kinda' sloppy to say the least.
-
EJ was never fast. He's athletic enough to make a run happen, but he's not a fast/quick guy. He is bigger, he takes long strides, that's about it.
Right, true...but last year he would outrun LB's to the edge and be able to really run once he got going. This year he is not going to outrun defensive ends let alone LB's. It would be great if he can perfect the art of stepping up in the pocket and side-stepping pressure to buy himself time. I just don't see him taking off and running being a threat anymore. Those read-option keepers will be few and far between.

I don't think you can praise Watkins enough yesterday. It obviously hurts him to even breathe let alone absorb hits to the ribs and contort his body. He is downplaying how much pain he's in but you can see it. Hopefully this injury gets a chance to heal but unfortunately it may linger the whole season.
-
I like what I'm seeing from EJ, don't love it. He's managing the game. The Bills are running the ball alot, as advertised. They probably should let him throw more on 1st down. It's tough to mainly ask EJ to throw in obvious passing situations.
So basically I'm thrilled with 2-0 BUT in my opinion EJ is the weakest link (skill player) on an otherwise talented offense. Hopefully he continues to improve especially in the Red Zone with his accuracy.
Also, is it me or is EJ kinda' slow now? He has escapability but he doesn't appear to run fast at all.
-
Props all around but wow, Sammy Watkins...give him a game ball. You could tell it probably hurts like h*ll for him to even breathe let alone play, absorb hits and contort his body. He was playing through immense pain you could tell.

27-16 Bills...

At the end of the day...Ray punched the lights out of his girlfriend. NO one else did anything. Meanwhile Harbaugh and the Ravens are made to look like idiots for supporting him during a press conference a few weeks ago. The club loses it's best RB of course. The owner has to write a ridiculously detailed letter of apology to PSL and Suite holders. Sponsors are affected and have to drop Rice. The NFL is looking like morons for having given Ray the 2 games suspension...not following through with viewing the video,,,not taking domestic violence more seriously from the start. Now Goodell and his cronies are looking at their jobs on the line due to Ray's punch. Amazing the trickle down effect here.
Personally I wanted Goodell around because i felt he was a supporter of the Bills staying in Buf (being from Jamestown). Now that Pegula is here, it's perfect timing. I don't really care if Goodell stays or goes..but he did not punch any women so I'm not sure why there's such a witch hunt for his firing. He said they (NFL) screwed up and they will change policy and do better. What is he supposed to say now?

I'm not writing this kid off yet. Let's judge him in the regular season not preseason or practices... He deserves that. As for Chicago this Sunday, EJ cannot have similar games as last years Pittsburgh and Tampa. I mean the guy has got to look competent and get the Bills into the end zone a couple times... I don't want to see that deer in headlights look and bouncing passes or throwing over guys heads on 3rd down. Let's see the new and improved EJ,
-
I posted in the Shoutbox, EJ needs to go 1-1 in the first two games. if he goes 0-2 and looks subpar then Orton is going in for San Diego.
-
Yes- bubble is officially burst for me too. I went from having visions of 10-6 in mini camp to now thinking 4-12 is a very likely scenario. It's not just preseason games, it's Kiko, Sammy, Kuandjo, EJ, coaching, trench play on O, 3rd-down defense.... all things could be masked by an Elite QB but we are so far away from that.
My "Super Bowl" this year will be having a local person like Pegula buy the team. If that happens i will be on cloud 9 and not worry about this season whatsoever.
-
I've lost a lot of confidence in Whaley after that Cyrus Kouandjio 2nd round pick. I don't care if every scout on the staff liked that pick, it was Whaley who had to sign on off on it. That is a monumental swing and a miss with a high 2nd pick. That kid may never play in an NFL game. He's just not good.
A lot of here made another point well before the draft. They should have drafted another QB in the middle rounds to groom (Mettenberger, Murray, etc..). I don't know why on earth they are so stubborn about this? You continue to draft QB's until you find one that can play at a high level. Why is this so hard for the Bills management to grasp?
As for Marrone, i have high hoped for the guy but c'mon. Even i said after the Pittsburgh game to shut Sammy down until Sept. 7th. There was nothing to gain by playing him last night. Just dumb.
-
Basically, when i look at the stats of every backup QB in preseason i feel they all show great stats, except for Buffalo. I know that's not really true but it sure seems that way.
-
Remember last years preseaon loss at home to Detroit. lots of doom and gloom and they came darn close to beating NE,
-
Just heard about some kind of sammy injury. WTF?? my expectations have dropped to about 4-12 now.
-
Freeman is like the baseball pitcher that suddenly forgot how to pitch. He was horrible in his last few bits of game action. I would never want that guy here.
-
I'd only let EJ play a series or two with the starters. Let him air it out though. We don't need to see him hand off.
Sullivan this morning mentions in the Buff News about Jordan Palmer playing tonight. I disagree with that move. Tuel needs to play 3 Qtrs in this game. He's going to be the main backup QB for now so let the guy get some reps out there now. Palmer can practice but why does he need game reps right now? He's been here 5 minutes. He's not going to be the #2 man for a while if that.
-
Don't discount the fact that Moorman is an excellent holder for FG's, hey it matters for something.
-
Even though he threw against Tampa's 2nd stringers, i thought EJ had a couple great throws in the 3rd Qtr. The kind of passes I have not seen him complete up to that point. Down the middle of the field, 20+ yds and before the receiver turned around. If he can start having the confidence to make those passes and complete a few per game, I think his overall game will improve tremendously. That's the only shred of hope I can see for EJ right now. It's just hope. Defenses don't respect his downfield game right now so they cheat up and pressure the hell out of him (and he makes poor decisions under pressure). Kelly made great decisions under pressure....so do Brady, Manning, Rodgers and all the elite's of the game.
EJ has to get teams to respect his downfield game.
Week 3: Chargers' Game Preparation - Sammy Wins RoW

SD Tribune is calling this game vs. Buffalo Bigger than Seattle. Mainly because the bolts usually lose after winning a big game. Rivers is talking it up like they are "different" this year and will not be on the win-lose-win-lose slope again. That being said i don't think SD has any idea how difficult it will be to play in front of this crazy Bills sellout crowd. That is an intangible that keeps Seattle winning. Good D and a crazy loud crowd can't be replicated on the SD practice field. I'm hoping we see the same emotion from Bills players this week.
