I don't understand that statement. Is there a conspiracy?

I'm actually kinda excited to see what Lewis can bring to the table. He's still young and has never really gotten a shot due to always being on teams with 1st round QB's ahead of him. At the very LEAST, he'll be more composed than Tuel (which is half the battle).

I'm pretty much on the same page with your statement.

Yup, I agree. In short, if Tuel had stepped up and at least been able to MOVE the offense a bit, we probably wouldn't be having this discussion right now. He forced Marrone's hand by looking as bad as he did. Is it fair for Tuel? I don't know and I don't really care to be honest. I just want to win.

I agree that there is no difference. However, this move (to me) strictly revolves around Tuel sucking against the Browns to a degree that the coaching staff did not imagine. As a rookie backup the coaching staff essentially had no idea how Tuel would respond if he had to go in there in an emergency. Tuel can look great in practice, he can know the playbook, etc. But until he actually went into a live game that counted, no one knew how he would do. After seeing what he did do (which was an abomination), the coaching staff figured it would be better to give someone else a shot. Here comes Lewis. Can we blame the coaching staff for having Tuel as the backup? Maybe. Sure. But when the alternative is Lewis, we can't be shelling out THAT much blame. They figured Tuel would be ready and he clearly wasn't. Tuel was not able to step up to the plate - which is also partially his fault. They were wrong - much the same way they could be wrong this week if Lewis comes in and throws 3 INT's vs the Bungals. In other words. When you go "all-in" on EJ and have horse manure for backups, this kind of scrutiny ensues. Life as a Bills fan.

If you were Tuel youd be asking for a trade???? Do we owe this guy ANYTHING? No. How did he perform vs he browns? HORRIBLY. Last time i checked, this is a performance driven league. You might only get one chance to step in and do your job and you better be ready. Tuel landed flat on his face. Hes lucky to still be on the team. I wouldve cut him before i cut the punter.

Lol. Surely

He just ran it in for a TD and the titans are beating the chiefs. Ill keep "pining"

I understand what youre saying but there is no comparison between merriman and favre in terms of how their careers ended.

Same here

Pat White will never challenge anyone for a job. Sorry.

The browns were thinking the same thing 3 weeks ago. Lets see who we bring in

Im sorry man, there are no positives.

I would go with Vince Young, period.

i'm sorry, but other than one good catch yesterday, I still haven't seen anything from the guy. The drop he had negates the one good catch. Is this guy THAT BAD at KR/PR that we can't have him back there..especially when McKelvin went down? then again, seeing that he has cement hands, he'd probably fumble the punt 40% of the time.

Good call. Maybe Chandler was in a playoff appearance too perhaps with the cowboys? Or maybe he didn't start..i dunno. So much for that fact!..lol. Rephrase: Tebow has more playoff victories than any starter on our offense.

You're getting a little carried away. Fact: Tebow has more playoff appearances than anyone on the Bills' offense.

Just read that Stevie isn't expected to miss any time either.

Same here. Much better than Freeman. Carr knows his place in the league. Seems like a good guy. Have never heard anything to the contrary. Freeman appears to have some baggage. What's the point when he'll only serve as a replacement for a few weeks. If i'm Freeman, I don't sign with the Bills b/c how many games will he be winning if he only starts 2-3 weeks..which by the way is a pretty tough 2-3 weeks stretch.

Good point. It's not as if Freeman was tearing it up in Tampa - last image I have of him is punting the ball out of his own end zone vs. the Jets for a safety. Tuel was ungodly awful yesterday though. I guess it can't get any worse. We have to bring someone in though for depth alone

Can't wait to lose 3-0 vs. cincy. nothing gives me bigger wood than a nasty D.

Interesting. Imagine the cluster $uck that would create if he produced and won a couple of games. Oh boy.

LMFAO.

Ya, WGR said will miss a few weeks. They're not going to rush this. We're 2-3 with a tough schedule coming up and no back-up on the roster currently. Season over folks. Fun while it lasted! No point on rushing EJ back. Wait until he's 100% and hopefully he'll be back by week 9 or so to finish out the season. Top 10 pick again here we come!!!!!!!!!!!!!

he's gotta be out. they're saying a few weeks. I think "might" means it's either a few weeks or the entire season. When I think few, I think 3-5
