    Hiding in Plain Sight

    I don't care if they had to clone Hitler to throw some pads on him and put him at G if he would be an upgrade over what we have now. Do it. People will care a lot less when we're winning games.

    I'm definitely against bringing in a cloned Hitler to play guard. Too much baggage and negative publicity........

    If he's talking about that pass near the end of the game where if he catches it he was going to get crushed, I'm fine with him alligator arming it. Game was over at that point and he doesn't need to take those shots to haul in a stat-padding pass.

    I remember that play and it looked like he just knocked it down with one hand. Smart play by him. He would have been killed on the play as deep defenders were rapidly closing in on him and he would have been hit harder than Goodwin's play. Would have had broken ribs for sure or worse.

    Right, in all seriousness, the rule is:

     

    The League codified this approach in an amendment to its Constitution and Bylaws that allows cross-ownership in another major league sports team in two narrow circumstances: (1) if the two franchises are in the same city, or (2) if the other league’s franchise is in a neutral market, defined as one that doesn’t currently host an NFL team and is not deemed a potential NFL city.

     

    He meest criteria 1, so no need to do anything.

    Wait - the Bills are in Orchard Park and the Sabres are in Buffalo. Guess we'll have to move the Bills after all - to Buffalo........

    Perception of the Team. From an Ex Bills Fan

    I've rooted for the Bills since a kid in 1960. They're my one and only team. If they leave town and Buffalo has no team, my interest in pro football will be very very low, if at all. When they lose I love to complain about them and tell everyone what I think is wrong. When they win, I'm filled with joy and happiness and brag alot. Either way, I'll always be a fan of the Buffalo Bills as long as I or the Bills are in existence,

    Why are so many so down on Tuel?

    I really don't get why so many are quick to jump all over Jeff Tuel? For an undrafted QB only in his second year I think he has shown the potential to be a decent backup.

     

    He looked REALLY good last year in preseason. So much so that many were calling for him to be given a shot to compete with EJ as a starter.

     

    He was forced into the game with Cleveland last year when EJ got hurt, and laid an egg. He stunk. But that has happened to the best backup QBs. We all think of Frank Reich as a great backup because of the greatest comback in NFL history against Houston. But I also remember many other times he was forced in action where I would cringe when he dropped back to pass.

     

    Many who jump all over Tuel as a terrible QB point to the pick six INT against KC that turned the game around just before half time. But three things need to be pointed out. First, up to that fateful pass he was actually playing better than EJ did in any game last year. Second, that pass was intended for Stevie Johnson, who broke off the designed pattern and freelanced (as most people finally acknowledge he did routinely), resulting in the defender stepping in front of the pass and taking it to the house. Third, the pass play should have NEVER been called to begin with. All of that was a recipe for disaster for any rookie QB.

     

    As far as this year I think he has played the best out of all the Bills QBs. I know that is setting the bar low, but in my opinion he has shown more confidence, poise, mobility, and willingness to throw the ball down field than EJ.

     

    Don't get me wrong, I'm not in anyway calling for Tuel to be the Bills starting QB. That position belongs to EJ until he proves he doesn't deserve it any longer. EJ needs to be given a fair shot at developing into what we all hope he can. But I think the same holds true for Jeff Tuel in developing into a decent backup. At this point I think I've seen more out of Tuel becoming that decent backup, than I have in EJ becoming the franchise QB we all hope he will become.

     

    I agree. Tuel is not as bad as a lot of people think. He produced a lot of yards in the KC game and looked great except for the int that was caused by Stevie..
