The Bills WRs are the first ones in the history of the league to make acrobatic catches because EJ is the first QB to not throw it perfectly every single time.
PO'14 Posted September 7, 2014 Posted September 7, 2014 Woods is lucky to still be alive after the high catch and the helmet to helmet hit.
RJ (not THAT RJ) Posted September 7, 2014 Posted September 7, 2014 No, the safety missed him on that hit.
YoloinOhio Posted September 7, 2014 Posted September 7, 2014 National media weighs in ... @AlbertBreer: Bills have more talent than a lot of people realize. They don't need EJ Manuel to be a superstar. They need him to be steady.

It's going to burn him vs good D's. The one to Williams at the end look like a wouunded duck. For some reason he can not throw a hard line drive type of pass despite hise size and strength and size of his hands. Looks very Joe Kapp-ish to me if anyone rememebrs how how he threw..

Or are we not counting good throws where the receiver doesn't make the catch?

I'm not saying that Chandler couldn't have caught it (he should have), but it was less egregious than dropping one right in the numbers. Chandler contained the pass rush on EJ's keeper TD, he was fine today.

Rob's House Posted September 7, 2014 Posted September 7, 2014 I missed the first quarter when EJ put up nice stats, so I can't speak to that, but from what I saw he looked okay, but not great. He made some plays when we needed them, didn't have many egregious mistakes, and if he can do that consistently we have a good shot at a winning season. That said, pretty much all the passes I saw required the receiver to break stride and/or contort to catch them. If he can't correct that he may be a serviceable game manager, but will never be great.
YoloinOhio Posted September 8, 2014 Posted September 8, 2014 @kfishbain: EJ Manuel was a 58.8% passer as a rookie. He notched a career-high 72.7% completion rate against the Bears on Sunday.

The_Dude Posted September 8, 2014 Posted September 8, 2014 EJ had a good game against the Bears. We didn't win in spite of him but he wasn't the main reason we won. He managed the game. He threw a couple ducks that guys like Woods made great plays on. He wasn't spectacular but he was good enough to win. That's not a knock on EJ but the objective truth.
