gobillsinytown Posted December 16, 2013 Share Posted December 16, 2013 Tom Berady is the outlier. MIA is going nowhere fast. Jay Cutler we should/could have drafted. Same w/Colin K & Russell Wilson, okay, we passed on... BUT we would have had Jay Cutler. I just got a funny feeling we are going nowhere. We keep buying the KIA's and passing up the Toyota's. Stupid analogy I know... The Bills do the same w/their coaches. I am getting sick of the projects. Let the Bills take the big brand name for once. Kind of like Washington did with Shannahan and RGIII? As of two days ago, Shannahan put Dan Snyder's favorite toy up on the top shelf for the rest of the season. Big Brand Football is really working out well there. That being said, I understand your frustration. But IMO a quality team has to be built systematically through the draft and strategic free agent acquisition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CSBill Posted December 16, 2013 Share Posted December 16, 2013 For The Record: The Jacksonville Jaguars threw the game because they knew they were already out of the playoffs and a Win today would have jeopardized their draft spot. Why do you even watch the games, and even better, take time to post on this board? Is it time to just walk away from the keyboard; obviously there is no joy in any of this for you.

ExiledInIllinois Posted December 16, 2013 Share Posted December 16, 2013 My theory is that he is a rookie QB who takes some time to digest what the defense is showing him and rushes his early throws, then settles down and plays. The encouraging thing that I see from this kid is that in close games, he seems to be clutch in his ability to drive the ball down the field. If anything, there is a slew of veterans on this team that have let the rookie down dropping or fumbling away throws that were on the money in games that mattered like the one against Atlanta. I will give this kid a pass on his slow starts. It's a bad time to give him a pass... There is a bumper crop of Qb's to be harvested next draft! The Bills have to take another Qb! The will rue the day if they don't! I usually don't by into the hype, but I can't stomach another missed opportunity to hedge screwing up @ the Qb position! How many are we going on now?

That being said, I understand your frustration. But IMO a quality team has to be built systematically through the draft and strategic free agent acquisition. I agree... BUT it starts with a cornerstone @ QB. Luck is a cornerstone... EJ no so much. Kelly was a cornerstone. Face it, the Bills simply are not going to win ala the Flacco or Dilfer method. Wow, I thought you were just joking around with these posts. Are you really being serious? I am obviously frustrated and have no patience after past projects. It is time to hedge the mistakes @ what is most obvioulsy becoming the most pivotal position in all of football.

KOKBILLS Posted December 16, 2013 Share Posted December 16, 2013 For the season, he's at 77.7 -- not good. I'd like to see him end up in the low 80s by the end of the season. As for today, it was nice to see him rally after a very bad start. That sack fumble was inexcusable though -- he saw it coming and had an opportunity to throw it away. They were in fg position. Still, he had a pretty good game. The Tampa game killed his rating...He was right around 82 before that...Which is certainly respectable for a Rookie QB...

ColdBlueNorth Posted December 16, 2013 Share Posted December 16, 2013 This thread has, predictably, gone off of the rails. Manuel, at the end of the day, had a pretty good game and made a lot of nice plays on the game winning drive. The throw he made to Goodwin (dropped) was a thing of beauty. This... and wow when did this board turn into such a troll magnet? Haven't posted in a few weeks and I come back to find a ton of noobs spouting the same negative non-sense and sucking the joy out of a winnable game that the Bills usually find a way to lose.

Haven't posted in a few weeks and I come back to find a ton of noobs spouting the same negative non-sense and sucking the joy out of a winnable game that the Bills usually find a way to lose. The exact opposite can be said. And facts back it up. How many years do we have to endure the Pollyanna's? How many of these Qb projects have failed. Watching this game is like watching RJ beat the Chiefs or JP & Trent beating... Wait, I can't remember them beating anybody... ;-P 4 and counting... I think the trolls are the Pollyanna's of the board. Unicorns and sunshine! Look what Tom Brady did! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't have any "point" at all! I am just sharing a couple pics from the game! I actually have EJ's TD run too, but you can barely see him. You can just see his helmet off the left shoulder of the Jag's defensive lineman, at about in the center of the picture....1/2 second either way and it would have been a great shot.

dubs Posted December 16, 2013 Share Posted December 16, 2013 This thread has, predictably, gone off of the rails. Manuel, at the end of the day, had a pretty good game and made a lot of nice plays on the game winning drive. The throw he made to Goodwin (dropped) was a thing of beauty. I agree. It's basically impossible to know whether or not EJ is the guy at this point. He's had good games and he's had bad games. Pretty much what you'd expect from a rookie. What baffles me is how people constantly talk about teams tanking to get better draft picks. I would love for someone to explain exactly how a team would execute this. It's impossible. Players and coaches are aways 'interviewing' for their jobs. They will take any opportunity to show progress, even if it's a good game against buffalo or Jacksonville. So diminishing this win because Jacksonville was 'tanking' for a better draft pick is patently absurd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All of the top qbs have question marks. Manziel Bridgewater McCarron Carr Bortles Could all conceivably go in the first round. Better than EJ & Geno in 2013. I want insurance... Another top pick chomping @ the bit... Especially a guy like Manziel to light a fire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
