Bill from NYC Posted September 28, 2014 Share Posted September 28, 2014 1) Was it me, or did McKelvin call a fair catch on a couple of punts that it looked like he could have returned? 2) Please excuse me, I am going to be less delicate and more scathing today. 3) Carpenter's successful field goal was probably a contributing factor to the blood pressure of the average Bills Fan. I actually thought that he missed it. 4) Let's see....we are near midfield with 30 something seconds before the half, and no timeouts. Do you spike the ball and set up a few plays? No? OK, let's line up and throw an inbounds 3 yard pass. Marrone and Hackett are not up to the task. They are sub-par coaches who are WAY over their heads. So is Brandon who hired these Syracuse cronies. Hopefully, they will all be fired, and they can take Whaley with them. 5) EJ completed 21 passes today. My contention is that most of his completions even sucked. He was not leading his receivers and was throwing late. The TD pass to Sammy should have been an easy play. It wasn't. Much more to come on EJ. 6)Broken heart don't feel so bad, Ain't got half a what you thought you had. Rock your baby to and fro, Not too fast and not too slow. And I say row, Jimmy, row Gonna get there? I don't know. Seems a common, way to go Get down, row, row, row, row, row. 7) Manuel had many opportunities to run. It looked to me as if he didn't have the balls to do so. 8) Kyle Williams was clearly double covered when he blocked that pass in the 3rd qtr. He is as fundamentally sound as any player we will see. I hope his knee is OK, and the same applies to Bradham, who looks very good. 9) The interception by McKelvin was so off the charts great that its hard to describe. It was the best play of his career, and I have a hard time picturing him ever making a better play. That was a great play for Deion Sanders or Mel Blount. He not only muscled the ball from the receiver, but he went up a mile high. What a freaking play!!!!! 10) If Marrone has a hair on his ass he would bench EJ vs. the Lions. Orton may not be that good, but he is a professional quarterback. And I am guessing that if Orton makes a good play, he won't feel the need to stare up into the screen. That said, Marrone probably will not do this. He and Whaley are clinging to their last shred of hope. It's sickening. 11) Once again, my man Searcy is making pays. The truth is that even Gilmore didn't hurt us today. 12) What did you people think about the Bills time management in the first half? Does this look like a professional coaching staff? I am going to call it disgraceful. 13) Yeah, this game was on EJ. He was no better than Thad Lewis today or even Tuel. I am calling for him to be immediately benched. If you disagree, please tell me how much time you care to give him, ok? 14) GO BILLS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Big Cat Posted September 28, 2014 Share Posted September 28, 2014 EJ neither throws nor runs with authority. If there was ever a reason to bring it Orton, it's because we--at the very least--need a QB to do--at the very least--one of those things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Hindsight Posted September 28, 2014 Share Posted September 28, 2014 Its becoming harder and harder to believe in EJ. I will still be rooting hard but today was an awful performance. No other way to put it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

billsfan714 Posted September 28, 2014 Share Posted September 28, 2014 (edited) I agree, EJ plays scared. Compare Fitz's scramble to anything you've seen from EJ. The passes still have the float/he's aiming them look to them. He's not only inaccurate but he doesnt see the field well. He lacks situational awareness. It isnt fair to the other players who busted their ass all off season to waste the season hoping Manuel gets better. The D shutdown their running game--again....produced turnovers and we still lose. There's one glaring reason and it needs changed. Edited September 28, 2014 by billsfan714 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ted William's frozen head Posted September 28, 2014 Share Posted September 28, 2014 (edited) 14) GO BILLS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! EJ's ENTIRE game is based on not throwing a pick NO MATTER WHAT, and not taking a hit NO MATTER WHAT. EJ is the second coming of Trent Edwards. Clueless,and hopeless.

Kellyto83TD Posted September 28, 2014 Share Posted September 28, 2014 Its past time to bench EJ. Does the front office care more about its ego or winning? That is what it will come down to. If I want to save my job if I am Whaley I call marone into the office and tell him EJ sits period. The goal is the playoffs, show Pags you are willing to do whatever it takes (including admitting a draft mistake/Benching your ego) to do so.

Mr. WEO Posted September 28, 2014 Share Posted September 28, 2014 EJ obviously cannot go through progressions. He can't throw with authority (10 yard wobblers), he can't run away from pressure. McK's int was gold, but the rest of his game sucked badly. Our punter looks great when punting within the other team's 50. From his own side of the filed, not so much. Marrone doesn't belong at the HC level, but I did sympathize with him today--his QB is a liability. Watt killed everyone today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bill from NYC Posted September 28, 2014 Author Share Posted September 28, 2014 He took a ton of hits today He also could have ran out of trouble but he did not. He absolutely sucked. It was as disgraceful a performance that one could visualize. The defense was great under these circumstances to keep the football team in the game. EJ needs to get the hell off the football field so a quarterback can give this football team a chance to win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ted William's frozen head Posted September 28, 2014 Share Posted September 28, 2014 He took a ton of hits today He had no choice with WATT IN HIS FACE. Observe EJ when he scrambles. He will sacrifice yardage to avoid taking a hit. EVERY TIME. I don't make the Trent Edwards comparison lightly. EJ is every bit as gutless as Trent.

DCBongo Posted September 28, 2014 Share Posted September 28, 2014 He had two fair games, and two bad games. Would it be that awful on his psyche to have him sit behind Orton and let him learn the game. Today proved we should have kept Fitz for one more year as EJ sat on the bench and learned. The kid has tools, but he is in over his head and the coaches seem ill equipped to get him where he needs to be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EJ needs to get the hell off the football field so a quarterback can give this football team a chance to win. Changing QB doesn't change the HC/OC problem. This coaching staff calls plays as if they are petrified of mistakes just like the Dick Jauron regime did. It's pure torture watching them on offense. Until this coaching staff puts together a professional offensive game plan, nothing will change. BTW, I don't even care anymore who the starting QB is, I want accountability with regards to the offensive play calling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Best Player Available Posted September 28, 2014 Share Posted September 28, 2014 Points 4 &12. This is the team, it's philopshy, and it sucks. Those clowns have not improved at all in season 2. Horrid coaching. Even worse QB play. The kid is scared, there are mean mofo's coming after him and he cannot take the heat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you bench him then you might as well consider him a bust and move on from him as our starter completely. It's probably going to happen anyway but you can't bench him now with the intentions of having him start again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EJ is the second coming of Trent Edwards. Clueless,and hopeless. I'm not defending Trent Edwards at all but at least he got crushed and suffered a concussion. Before the concussion he actually was pretty good. EJ has had a couple of knee injuries but hasn't put two games together that were good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
