This is where I'm at. If our offense is going to be 2 yd runs and check downs...why not EJ?

FG city

The all blue is growing on me

Gay is kind of like a lifeguard who can't swim.

Dennis, Buffalo Brothers is a pretty good time. They have a few locations. The atmosphere is probably better than the food, but for wings it's not bad.

Freaking Willie Parker........

There is only one place to go. Tavern on the Tracks. Get there early, there is a tailgate in the parking lot before they open... Its awesome.

Good guy, there's some nice deer up there in Franklin county. Are you in Raleigh jboyst?

This just made me spit my drink out due to uncontrollable laughter. What a great movie and post.

Donate button and I'm in for a c note!

Can we kick the field goal on 3rd down?

Can we kick the field goal on 3rd down?

Our refusal to run in the red zone is maddening.

I like this outcome

Why can no one ask this question of Marrone? Someone get Sullivan on it.

I live in Greenville NC and watch a lot of ECU football. He is a senior and a hell of a quarterback. His strengths are his accuracy, smarts and toughness. The general consensus is that he doesn't have the strongest arm, but I think that comes from the air raid system/shorter quick throws that ECU runs. There is no doubt that the system (Linclon Riley is the OC, a Mike Leach disciple) helps him put up the kind of numbers he has, but the kid is a gamer for sure. He honestly reminds me a lot of Nassib.

I've got a crew of 7 coming from NC. This is my wife's first ever Bills game. Any spots left at Hammers? I've never been but heard its a blast. Any way to book a spot or just show up early? Go Bills!

This was apparent against Detroit. He grabbed his side several times and you could tell he was hurting. I have a feeling, that for this game, he would try to play with no legs. Here's to hoping Schwartz has a biltz or two dialed up for him.

Same here man. This will be my wife's first game as well. We are making the trip from NC. She is really excited, but nervous at the same time. I think mainly because I gave her 50/50 odds of seeing another woman take a dump in a sink. But I digress, she is much "luckier" than I am. I think this one is in the bag.

^^^ This exactly, I also live in NC and the Panthers are just another team to me. I probably know a little bit more about them than other teams, but I have no allegiance at all.

Not the biggest, but a concern is our punter. If we are going to focus on running the ball and stopping the run we are going to need a punter who can back opposing offenses up consistently. Hopefully this new guy can get it done.

Something here just doesn't seem right... I haven't been to FL or listened to George Strait in a while though.

Orton looks way too much like JP...terrifying.

I have let panic creep in a bit, but I am still in wait and see mode. Someone in another thread made a great point about the preseason being so thoroughly over analyzed due in part to all of the information being thrown around on twitter/blogs/etc. We have never seen such a dissection of preseason and training camp football before. I think my primary concern in EJ's overall accuracy, more so than Hackett's calls. As far as preseason is concerned remember this: 1. Marrone is said to be uber paranoid and the playbook during the preseason was extremely limited (even the biggest "realists" have to admit this). Should they be able to score with 10 plays? Yes, probably, but I still dont think it is a fair comparison to regular season game planning. 2. From what I witnessed after the booing at halftime against Tampa, the playbook opened up. I dont know if this was from Marrone finally cracking a little because of the fans, or to just give his guys (mainly EJ) a little confidence but they ran 2 plays in the 3rd quarter that made me feel much better. -- 1st and 10, midfield, 8:35 in the 3rd Q. EJ fakes a hand off to the right to Spiller, then pitches left to Chandler. This was a great play call and a solid 7 yard gain at midfield. -- 2nd and 1, Tampa 9yd line, 2:45 in the 3rd Q. EJ pitches right to Fred and a convoy is out front blocking for him. Mike W., Henderson and Chandler (Chandlers block is great) plow the road and Fred trots in for the touchdown. I had to watch it twice because I couldn't believe they were not just slamming it up the middle. This is the type of running play our o-line is built for. No where in any other preseason game are either of these plays used. I am not saying that we have a stash of secret plays that no one can defend, but I do think we have a lot more to keep defenses off balance than we showed. That is really what offense is about, keeping a defense guessing. I think that, especially with regards to the run game, we have a lot more planned than we have seen. At least this is what I'm going to tell myself for the next 5 days.
