Thanks man, I appreciate it. Although Wawrow's tweet makes me a little nervous. My source a few weeks back about Cassel being Roman's guy was probably a bit stronger than what I have on Taylor being the starter. I'd imagine if there really is a discussion right now (which I don't, I still believe it's Taylor, done deal) that it's Roman advocating for Cassel. That would be in line with the B/R report as well.

Oh would you stop. Are you serious right now? That drive was his ceiling? What does that even mean? That drive was Joe Montana in his prime's ceiling. It was literally a perfect drive. I don't know if you're serious or not.

Dude looked beyond lost yesterday. I have to imagine that's a real discussion right now too.

Exactly.

Goodwin's status is that his body is not built to play in the NFL. He seems like a great guy but I wouldn't be surprised to see him go Chris Borland and focus on track here shortly. It is kind of a shame because I think he can play. But I just can't see him holding up for a 16 game season at this point. Dude the three main guys are not hurt hurt. They are chilling until the opener. Goodwin gets hurt hurt. Although yes, Harvin has a tendency to get hurt as well. I just feel like every time Goodwin touches the ball, I'm thinking there's a chance he doesn't get back up. This post is entirely unnecessary.

EJ starting was a smokescreen. He had a fantastic game. The two concepts are not mutually exclusive.

Is that the new narrative round these parts? That Taylor only won it because Rex and Roman had him picked from the beginning? I am certain that is not the case. Both Taylor and Manuel were 10/10 yesterday. A+. Taylor decidedly better throughout camp. Unfortunately that counts too. Is that the new narrative round these parts?

Really gotta go. And I can see how there's a little "look at me" going on, sure I'll own that. But I said, look the decision was already made and its not EJ. A few people emailed me directly and I told them who it was. If they want to vouch for that, they're more than welcome to. I think with the delicacy of this situation, you can see how I didn't want to start a thread entitled "The starting QB of the Buffalo Bills is..." Now that it is obvious, I slid in an "I told you so." Sure, I'll give you that. I also said, even if EJ has the game of his life, he's not starting week 1. So I gave you that at the time. Not sure what else you want from me. The Bills are gonna be really good this year guys. Let's just enjoy it.

Ha OK man.

Gotta go in a minute but again, I wasn't worried that a post of mine was gonna end up getting reported by Adam Schefter an hour later, I just didn't want it to turn into too much of a circus on here. Look, I told you that the decision was made and it wasn't EJ. EJ literally couldn't have had a better game (until that throw). EJ is not going to start week 1. So there ya have it.

You want to know? Because I was afraid that if I said it, it would turn into a huge thing and before you know it, people are calling GR saying "well a guy on TBD is saying..." (I've heard that before) and then the guy who told me never tells me anything again. I told two or three people via PM, whom I trust, if you must know. Look, the Bills are gonna be really good this year. Let's all be friends.

a) it's not supposed and b) I did not mean to intimate that me commenting on TBD was alerting the league about anything. Taylor was the guy before this game, he cemented it and he did it in a way that makes it clear to everyone in Buffalo and around the league that he's starting week 1. My point was that there's no surprise anymore. It's game, set, match. But if you care to know, the decision was already made before this game. I'd agree with that. It's freaking Terry Pegula's fracking money. If they're under the cap, keep Cassel over Matthew Mulligan or a 5th Safety or whoever.

Dude it should be obvious to you and everyone else that Tyrod Taylor is starting week 1. The league already knows. I just posted in the shoutbox- wouldn't be surprised if Cassel gets cut, then again this game is like a Pro Bowl so I don't know what to make of any of this.

What is ABC?

I am happy to share now that the decision was made that Taylor was the starter before this game. I think Rex makes the announcement sooner than later because I think the whole league knows right about now and there's no point in trying to deceive anyone anymore.

Rex said that by the time he named the starter it would be plainly obvious to everyone who that man is. I didn't believe him at the time but he turned out to be right.

You guys realize this thing is a done deal, right?

Why is Preston Brown on f'ing punt coverage? I'm so done with the preseason.

It's definitely regular season too. I really don't like it.

Agreed 100%.

This has the feel of a Pro Bowl game.

Well if there was any doubt about Jackson making the roster, that's out the window.

I get nervous every time Jackson touches the ball. I really hope he only plays one drive.

Well it wasn't me. 6 out of 10 as in slightly above average or B/B-. You guys act like his play has been some sort of revelation. The buzz around the league is Tyrod Taylor. The discussion around the league is Taylor vs. Cassel. EJ is not starting against Indianapolis on September 13th. And when he doesn't, what is YOUR excuse gonna be? Of course I've watched the games, I have the NFL Network. I had what is, I can assure you, a legitimate excuse for not watching the second game live. We're all Bills fans, why do we do nothing but argue on here? It's so weird.

Find me one person who's said practices are way more important. You're better than that. Enjoy the game fellas.
