Chandler#81 Posted October 13, 2015 Share Posted October 13, 2015 I hate to say I called it, but I did. I like Taylor but he doesn't have the frame to handle the hits he gets with the style he plays Don't beat yourself up, buddy. You said it. Own it! BTW, Rothlesberger wouldn't have handled a horsecollar down over his ankles either, and he's a Giant -sort of.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SJDK Posted October 13, 2015 Share Posted October 13, 2015 We're going to be throwing deep guys, EJ said he'd let it rip. If we get two deep safeties then maybe we can run the ball this week Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TakeYouToTasker Posted October 13, 2015 Share Posted October 13, 2015 Does it change anything if we get some of our skill players back? Just curious. I'd say no, because we lost Tyrod. He's our best skill player. It's a wash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
polish lover Posted October 13, 2015 Share Posted October 13, 2015 Who got a raise as a result of Cassel being cut? No one. The Bills were under the cap, Pooj, and they had just resigned Cassel at a very affordable price. Cassel is the sort of guy who can get you to 2-2 over a 4-game stretch - sorta like Hasselback. Josh Johnson will get you to 0-4. Didn't we have someone at another position that needed to be signed at the time due to an injury? I think it was a safety because of A Williams neck. Nothing is ever as simple as you are making it out to be. we needed to free roster space more than cap room. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chandler#81 Posted October 13, 2015 Share Posted October 13, 2015 Here is what I want to believe... Tyrod will be fine by Sunday and Rex is forcing Cincy to prepare for two different quaterbacks with this story line. I don't really believe it, but believing that I believe it makes me a little happier. I see what you mean. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
polish lover Posted October 13, 2015 Share Posted October 13, 2015 I'd say no, because we lost Tyrod. He's our best skill player. It's a wash. You really think he is better than Watkins or McCoy? I don't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BTW, Rothlesberger wouldn't have handled a horsecollar down over his ankles either, and he's a Giant -sort of.. Rothlisberger wouldn't have been trying to scramble for 20+ yards because he can throw the ball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuffaloHokie13 Posted October 13, 2015 Share Posted October 13, 2015 I'd say no, because we lost Tyrod. He's our best skill player. It's a wash. So Tyrod is our best skill player, but the team is better with EJ? And you don't think it effects our offense's production (and plan overall) if Karlos and Sammy are cleared for Sunday?

TakeYouToTasker Posted October 13, 2015 Share Posted October 13, 2015 You really think he is better than Watkins or McCoy? I don't. At his position? No. As a skilled player/playmaker? Maybe not better, but certainly on their level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeGOATski Posted October 13, 2015 Share Posted October 13, 2015 http://www.foxsports.com/nfl/buffalo-bills-team-stats?season=2015&seasonType=3&week=0&category=OFFENSE&type=1 I personally don't agree with the team's assessment. EJ had nearly 4 yds more per pass than TT, higher QB rating 146.9 to 89.7, 4 TDs to 0, plus EJ was playing with all the scrubs most of the time he was in. I don't see where TT played better. I just don't. He scrambles better but a good QB shouldn't have to do that more than once or twice a game because he should be passing the ball as per his job description. Why does your assessment rely on preseason stats? Give me something else. EJ had issues with communication and still showed the same inconsistencies in his footwork, leading to accuracy problems. "EJ was playing with all the scrubs" is also not a good point to make because he's also playing against the "scrubs." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nostradumbass Posted October 13, 2015 Share Posted October 13, 2015 You really think he is better than Watkins or McCoy? I don't. He just carried the team to a win He was also the best offensive player on the field against the Giants He's vastly more valuable than those two right now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuffaloHokie13 Posted October 13, 2015 Share Posted October 13, 2015 What? EJ was speaking pig latin in the huddle, but Incognito didn't have a childhood so he couldn't understand what EJ was saying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave mcbride Posted October 13, 2015 Share Posted October 13, 2015 "healthy" to an NFL player on Monday means "I feel like a d*mn truck rolled on me and it hurts when I move or breathe, but nothing a near-OD worth of Vicodin can't keep to a dull scream". Sometimes the screaming gets worse through the week instead of better Very true! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeffismagic Posted October 13, 2015 Share Posted October 13, 2015 I hate the stupidity coming out now. WGR has all these old people calling in asking why Cassel was traded and Whaley has to go. Sorry, I would rather see EJ than Cassel. The Buffalo fans who love Cassel astound me. He is not that good. If we're going to fail I would rather go down with a QB that can throw the ball more than 10 yards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeGOATski Posted October 13, 2015 Share Posted October 13, 2015 What? Failing to make the right protection adjustments and getting sacked. I went over this in preseason. It's fine if you just don't remember. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have to listen to a lot of repetitive drivel. Lots of revisionist history story-lines today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
