Peace Frog Posted November 14, 2014 Share Posted November 14, 2014 We're not making the playoffs. Why not get him some more experience? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dirtbag Posted November 14, 2014 Share Posted November 14, 2014 After seeing Orton suck the last two weeks, Why the hell not? agreed. ej is just as capable at not throwing touchdowns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alphadawg7 Posted November 14, 2014 Share Posted November 14, 2014 Yes but Marrone said in the presser that Orton is the starter and bringing EJ in has never entered his mind. However, he said the exact same thing immediately after the Houston game and still made the switch two days later. So we will see...but its time to put EJ back in. All talk has been about how much better EJ has been looking in practice...so see if he learned anything and let the kid play. We don't have anything to lose at this point. He has the tools, just needs to play with more confidence and take more chances and even said so himself after his benching. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dorkington Posted November 14, 2014 Share Posted November 14, 2014 If we're out, then yes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BackInDaDay Posted November 14, 2014 Share Posted November 14, 2014 NO! if the kid's got even the slightest chance of turning his game around, Yogi and Boo-Boo will give him little to work with. in the last two games Orton has been playing as EJ did before being benched, and i don't think it's a coincidence. let Kyle finish the year, and he and Manuel can return next season with an new coaching staff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, he said the exact same thing immediately after the Houston game and still made the switch two days later. he also said he never thought about going for it on fourth down during the chiefs game. this begs the question, exactly what is going on in his mind during the game?

Solomon Grundy Posted November 14, 2014 Share Posted November 14, 2014 Just to watch him fail under the leadership of Marrone/Hackett? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smuvtalker Posted November 14, 2014 Share Posted November 14, 2014 I say give Orton one more game. If he sh!ts the bed AND we lose, let EJ finish the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DC Grid Posted November 14, 2014 Share Posted November 14, 2014 Heck yeah. Orton showed he's still Orton....AND he has a player option for next year. Time to give EJ one last chance and let him close out the season. Good or bad, draft a QB in the second and hope a care taker EJ or Orton can keep this team entertaining enough for the first half of next year...assuming EJ is still EJ.

dayman Posted November 14, 2014 Share Posted November 14, 2014 Not yet. One more loss, then they should do it unless they have decided he is a failure already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Frankish Reich Posted November 14, 2014 Share Posted November 14, 2014 Yes. Why not? I was all for starting Orton because we were, in theory, a team with a reasonable shot at the playoffs, so Orton was the best choice for right now. There's no point in playing him anymore, and we better see if EJ is even worth bringing back next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
section122 Posted November 14, 2014 Share Posted November 14, 2014 I really would like to hear a good defense for continuing on with Orton. He has been terrible. The Bills offense has stagnated to a terrible level these last 2 games and Orton shoulders much of the blame. His accuracy and decision making have been terrible. As I said when ej was benched... We know what Orton is mediocre to poor. We still don't know what we have with ej. Orton has led the team to point outputs of 9, 13, 43, 17, 22, and 17. That is terrible and I just can't believe that ej could not have led the Bills to at least as many points. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max997 Posted November 14, 2014 Share Posted November 14, 2014 I've seen enough of Orton and with basically no shot at playoffs now there is no reason to not start EJ rest of season. In saying that I highly doubt Marrone makes the change anytime soon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Frankish Reich Posted November 14, 2014 Share Posted November 14, 2014 Not just EJ. Also start Kujo for Pears, and give Gragg the bulk of Chandler's playing time. And just cut Mike Williams already. This is the time of the season where it's like extended preseason -- let all the young guys play and I guarantee you we'll find 2 or 3 keepers in the bunch. No reason to play guys who won't be back next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peace Frog Posted November 14, 2014 Author Share Posted November 14, 2014 Hell, for that matter, let's play Tuel the rest of the year. We only saw him start one game last season. Let's see if he is even worth keeping around. Seriously. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rocky Landing Posted November 14, 2014 Share Posted November 14, 2014 (edited) Yes, we should bring back EJ because I've totally forgotten how badly he sucked earlier in the season. And, he could really benefit from the experience of losing games. What a great morale boost it would be for the rest of the team. The defense could get some extra time on the field. The receivers could improve their proprioception by not knowing where the ball was going to land. From here on in, we should play to lose. (edit: this is, of course, sarcasm.)
