GunnerBill Posted September 14, 2014 Share Posted September 14, 2014 It was another efficient, above average performance. We all said it, if EJ could play like this we have the talent on the team to win.He can still improve, he had that one horrible drive where he was lucky not to get picked on both 2nd and 3rd down, but other than that I was impressed.

Saint Doug Posted September 14, 2014 Share Posted September 14, 2014 I have to admit, he was throwing some awful nice balls all day. That one in the 1st quarter to Sammy dropped right between his hands - thrown perfectly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sullim4 Posted September 14, 2014 Share Posted September 14, 2014 He played well enough to win today, which I think is a major step forward for this team. But, I'm a little concerned that the offense couldn't score touchdowns in the red zone today. You can't kick 5 short-range field goals (and miss another) against a good team and expect to win.

MDH Posted September 14, 2014 Share Posted September 14, 2014 The big thing is he's driving the ball down field and getting chunks of yards. That's what we need to see and so far he's delivering. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fadingpain Posted September 14, 2014 Share Posted September 14, 2014 Time to get on the bandwagon? Go Bills.. Always have been and will be a Bills supporter. EJ is and remains a mediocrity. With an above average QB this game today would have been a blowout in the first half. Sure! It was good enough to win and that's good enough! And we are all happy about that! But we aren't going to be playing non-playoff wonders like the Bears and Dolphins every week of the year, if we are going to get where we all want to go. Here is the story of this year: how far can the Bills go while EJ remains a bottom-half-of-the-NFL-QB and nothing more than a game manager? No doubt we can accomplish a lot with our D. But how far can we actually go? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RuntheDamnBall Posted September 14, 2014 Share Posted September 14, 2014 Chandler strike was money. Needs to slow it down in the red zone though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeGOATski Posted September 14, 2014 Share Posted September 14, 2014 His pocket presence seems to have improved. He ran and got the ball out at the right times. The game has obviously slowed down for him. He's still a young QB and will be maturing a lot during this season. I hope all fans can just see him for what his is right now and stop bickering over him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fixxxer Posted September 14, 2014 Share Posted September 14, 2014 He's making progress and that is all you can ask for him. He needs to hold the ball a little more in the redzone. be a little more aggressive, we won't always be able to dominate on defense like we did today.

Dorkington Posted September 14, 2014 Share Posted September 14, 2014 That pass to Chandler (that he made a great catch on!) was also another good throw of touch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RuntheDamnBall Posted September 14, 2014 Share Posted September 14, 2014 If Russell Wilson played this game it would be another win in a hall of fame career. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GunnerBill Posted September 14, 2014 Share Posted September 14, 2014 If Russell Wilson played this game it would be another win in a hall of fame career. That is a good point. It wasn't an un-Wilson like display come to think of it. Less scrambling.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PromoTheRobot Posted September 14, 2014 Share Posted September 14, 2014 EJ still a work in progress, but the team around him is good enough for him to take his time developing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeGOATski Posted September 14, 2014 Share Posted September 14, 2014 That deep throw to Sammy on the first drive was the best throw I saw today. Too bad it didn't get the desired result. I like that EJ came out fast, though. Gotta give credit to his preparation, which has probably been aided by the new QB coach. Last year he always seemed to start slow. This year, he has looked to be in stride from the start. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
starrymessenger Posted September 14, 2014 Share Posted September 14, 2014 His incomplete throw to Watkins was on the money. Brent Grimes made a great play. Normally a long TD. His throw to Chandler was absolutely big time. He's got a long way to go but he may be improving. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
