great... nice discipline

but, but, that coach is his best bud

a Blount is smoking a Buffalo

good thing Easley can run fast.... another great special teams effort

oh sweet, TJ for a TD

oooo the Bills passing game woke up

Max protect for a sack... kinda why I think Hackett is lame

Matt Schaub first comes to mind, and then Phillip Rivers.Then Andy Reid committed to Mike Vick for so long. But then look what happened when a QB like Rivers who was in a stale, predictable system. Then in a new system with better coaching at HC & OC he has done a 180. Gotta have good coaching all around or its a waste of time.

man... even when things start to go their way.... it ends up the wrong way.

nice block in the back....refs suck as usual

anyone else think he got close to the sideline and they told him to go down to allow the D to catch their breath.

run stoppers and O line in this draft

FJax not running for anything but the goal line

and have been that way for years, and years. Jauron and his smaller quicker linemen along with that Tampa 2

nice hands Chandler...

Lewis shows flashes, needs playing time

As much as I'd like to see the Bills draft either an OT, WR, OG, TE in the first 4 rounds. They need to be able to stop the run...

gotta keep the carpman

yikes...fumblrooski

nice catch 22 yards

I wouldn't mind it at all, and even tho this team has gone defense so often the past 13 seasons to having only one team on the verge of playoffs. The offense hurt the team this year, and quite frankly needs help at WR, OT, OG, TE.

I do believe the Bills "reached" for EJ for several reasons. A few things to consider, Buddy Nix stated he was (finally) drafting a QB, come hell or high water. It is conceivable that the Bills needed a boost to sell season tickets with no baby in sight after 3 sucky seasons, and a QB drafted in the first round would help sell seats. EJ suddenly started moving up in the draft because of interest in him by several teams, and it was noted that Eagles new HC Chip Kelly was going to draft EJ the first chance he got. Bucky Brooks 7 mock drafts leading up to the actual draft, Although there was no QB in the 2013 draft that was actually graded as a first rounder save Geno Smith / Matt Barkley early on, in say March. Whats crazy is Geno Smith was the first overall pick by Bucky Brooks Jan 15 2013, and Barkley 7th to Arizona, Glennon 8th to Buffalo. * interesting note WR Robert Woods graded as the 27th pick in the first round at that time. http://www.nfl.com/draft/2013/mock-drafts/bucky-brooks/155114 Then by Feb 20th Geno Smith is still the #1 overall, Glennon to Buffalo. Then on March 4th things changed with Geno Smith going #3 to the Raiders. Then in March 15th Geno Smith to Buffalo at #8. Then in April Geno going #2 to the Jags. Then on April 24th Geno Smith dropped completely out of the first round. http://www.nfl.com/draft/2013/mock-drafts March 1st NFL's Mike Mayock's top QB's Quarterback 1. Geno Smith, West Virginia 2. Matt Barkley, USC 3. Mike Glennon, N.C. State 4. Ryan Nassib, Syracuse 5. Landry Jones, Oklahoma http://www.nfl.com/draft/story/0ap1000000146289/article/mike-mayock-alters-position-rankings-for-2013-nfl-draft Lets face it, the only team that actually thought EJ was worthy of a first round pick were the Buffalo Bills. http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap1000000158147/article/2013-nfl-draft-tyler-wilson-geno-smith-top-quarterbacks Ej was graded as a 3rd or 4th round "project" before the Senior Bowl. The after the game he started moving up because all the rest of the QB draft class looked bad. Senior bowl stats for MVP EJ. 7 of 10 for 76 yards, one TD passing, one TD rushing. http://www.nfl.com/videos/nfl-senior-bowl/0ap2000000131256/E-J-Manuel-coming-into-draft-at-perfect-time Then, http://walterfootball.com/scoutingreport2013emanuel.php Now, all that said. This years team could have been so much better in terms of wins and protecting the QB if only they had done a better job with the LG position. EJ has shown flashes of brilliance at times, but he needs better protection and the offense to be able to run the ball in every game from the start.

I'd have to say Chan Gailey over extended himself by being the HC & OC. If it take 80 hours a week to be the HC to make certain everything with the team is running perfectly. Then how many hours are left over to opponents watch film, and set the game plan? Obviously Gailey never really changed up his schemes to suit the next team, or even took the time to work on Fitz's mechanics. So, where does that leave Nathaniel Hackett in being both the OC & QB coach for all these young QB's? For a guy who has never even been an NFL OC or QB coach.

I don't think its the coaches holding EJ back. I think its his limited experience and the fact that he would check down quite often college. Bottom line, the Bills need to make the playoffs in the next two years or face another regime change. Having a solid QB would be a great help in getting this team to a winning season.
