1. Orton had a decent stretch, but the sobering reality of this prime time game dud is Kyle Orton is really Kyle Orton. He has a ceiling of 9-7 or so with good talent around him. He's been off by a yard or 2 with a regular consistency. Even more disturbing is knowing he's more accurate the Manuel.
2. We aren't better guard talent and a TE away. I don't care that our first pick next year is in the 2nd round, the top priority to taking this team to a higher level, is a real QB. To the EJ believers, fine give him the final 6 games, I dont care, I dont think you will see a good NFL QB. Sorry that's reality, he was what the scouts thought he was.....a 3rd or 4th round QB with measureables that didnt match the play on the field....
3. Can even the most ardent homers please stop with the Scott Chandler is good, or even mediocre. Im in a 10 team, 2TE fantasy league....one dude had 3 TE's and nobody in 21 roster slots has Chandler . Talk about a total non-factor. The guy can disappear at key times and it as clutch as Leodis, good for 1 anti-play making, cost you a win a season.
4. This offense is unimaginative....it's small ball. There's not a lot of misdirection...the big plays are not anywhere near frequent enough.
5. Go ahead and flame away...but I;m with a poster like BillsVet on Whaley. Stop, pause for a moment and think about Whaley trading a 2015 Buffalo Bills 1st round draft choice to move up in a WR super deep draft. It doesnt seem as such a steal when you compare Watkins to a lot of the other 1st rounder receivers. But here's the part where you think how could I be sucked in by a GM talkiing that our pick would be a late round selection. It would be a playoff round selection when you had Manuel...Thad friggin Lewis and Jeff I lost a ton in college Tuel at QB in a 2014 pass happy NFL.., I dont think so. God how could I even remotely think that was going to happen.
6. This team needs playmakers...
7. Nate Hackett is in over his head. Modern NFL offense,...not even close. The D has given this team great field position and the O has layed an egg. The only person who doesnt realize this is Marrone. The only thing Nate should be planning is if he's getting Dunkin Donuts or Cinnabon for the morning meeting for a real offensive coordinator.
8. Where are the playmakers in the secondary with this rush....where's a new generation of Odoms and Henry Jones.
9. The stat on the Bills season avg starting position and this offensive production is a crime against the D.
