Peter Posted October 13, 2015 Share Posted October 13, 2015 This should be interesting. I actually like both TT and EJ. I hope they both do well for the Bills. P.S. If TT was injured on that tackle as reported, that really sucks. Players should respect other players' careers. That horse tackle was a horse sh*t way to bring TT down.

26CornerBlitz Posted October 13, 2015 Share Posted October 13, 2015 Well, I'm excited to see what EJ can do with his arm. This may be his last chance. Expect some communication issues on Sunday, just like in preseason. It could get ugly against that Cincy front-7. I don't get why anyone posts this. It shouldn't be his last opportunity.

Rubes Posted October 13, 2015 Share Posted October 13, 2015 Tyrod is always going to be banged up and/or injured with his style. There's no way around it. Therefore, he isn't going to be a guy you can rely on week in, week out, season in, season out. Just my opinion. Love the guy's fire and energy, but he takes huge shots every game. That=injuries for a QB. Isn't that what everybody was saying about EJ previously? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YoloinOhio Posted October 13, 2015 Author Share Posted October 13, 2015 true. Odd stat I like to acknowledge is that over 85% of replacement QB's win that first game out. fwiw AJ Hawk was just on the radio here talking about how they kind of caught a break with Russell Wilson and TT in back to back weeks because they are similar QBs. That was before the news broke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave mcbride Posted October 13, 2015 Share Posted October 13, 2015 Buffalo initially released Cassel, and his salary, on September 5th. Marcell signed his deal on September 10th. They re-did Cassel's contract (i.e., cut it down) presumably to make room for Dareus. It happened right around the same time - Sept 9/10. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BringBackFergy Posted October 13, 2015 Share Posted October 13, 2015 (edited) Shouldn't the !@#$er that horse collared TT be fined or suspended?? They committed a personal foul that resulted in our QB missing game(s). Also, do the refs give us more "benefit of the doubt" on close calls for roughing the passer? I mean, TT now jumps above Cam Newton on the "has earned the close calls" because he's been injured.

YoloinOhio Posted October 13, 2015 Author Share Posted October 13, 2015 (edited) @MikeGarafolo: Give Cincy defensive staff credit for foresight. They had hunch Tyrod Taylor might sit Sun, so they started prep for EJ Manuel yesterday. Interesting - AJ Hawk said they have been dialed into TT. Btw the comments under that tweet are lit.

jimmy10 Posted October 13, 2015 Share Posted October 13, 2015 (edited) Not 100% sure but I think it was most rushing yards by a QB. Pretty sure I saw a graphic somewhere that the Bills put up. I believe the previous record was 74 yds, shared by Flutie and Fitz. Tyrod had 76.

Chandler#81 Posted October 13, 2015 Share Posted October 13, 2015 they didn't trade him for a bag of magic beans they traded him for a draft pick next year. Something that quite honestly a journeyman veteran QB nearing retirement (also a veteran who has had a mediocre to bad career) is not worth. It is absolutely amazing that the Bills managed to get anything for a player who they had cut a week before and cleared waivers because NOBODY IN THE LEAGUE WANTED HIM! This was brilliantly played by Whaley and friends I'm sorry. a 2017 pick, actually. Heartbreaking news about Tyrod. Get well soon!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhitewalkerInPhilly Posted October 13, 2015 Share Posted October 13, 2015 Even if EJ is the starter next week, again, this isn't the first time Roman has had to switch out QBs and change the game plan. EJ has been compared to Alex Smith, so I see no reason why they can't go back into the drawer for those style of plays. Probably fewer devoted Read-Option runs, but a rollout or two and maybe some more shotgun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuffaloHokie13 Posted October 13, 2015 Share Posted October 13, 2015 Lets see If I get this rtght - EJ plays against an undefeated very hot Cincy team. If the Bills lose then EJ is the loser regardless. Same for the Jags.. If the Bills win then we hear that the Jags suck and that EJ should have won the game in his sleep. If he wins both then what? If he wins both then the Bills are 5-2 heading into the bye Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bleeding Bills Blue Posted October 13, 2015 Share Posted October 13, 2015 Next man up - EJ has had plenty of rep's and has only proved that he is inconsistent. I seriously doubt he does enough to win the job - but he should be able to do enough to win 1 of the next 2. Gotta keep the team ready to play, especially the London game. That one we can't afford to lose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John from Riverside Posted October 13, 2015 Share Posted October 13, 2015 IMO.....EJ should start I have been trying hard to figure out WTF Roman has been holding TT in the pocket instead of letting Tyrod be Tyrod at the beginning of these games Now I understand Roman has been trying to protect his injured QB from potential taking hits as he is already hurt.....but late in the games when they HAVE to win the games they have let Tyrod be Tyrod especiallin the in the Titans game..... Just let EJ start the Bengals game...I have complete confidence in EJ Manuel. Heal up your starting QB for the strength of our schedule. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
