Philbin is toast.

He's gonna be good. Just like Russell.

To me it's a real shame that the ball did not hit Sammy in the breadbasket and in stride. DB coming in from the left would have been about four yards closer to the line of scrimmage and Watkins would have been turning it straight upfield with a single high safety to beat, a fifteen yard cushion and Woods in the area to possibly help out with a block. Given Sammy's YAC ability I like his chances of scoring in that scenario. I think we were very close to pulling off a major comeback which would certainly have raised a few eyebrows and changed the post game conversation somewhat I would think. Confirms my belief that our O has the potential to be very productive, indeed explosive at times, and I think we will see that more clearly as the O starts to gel. We are loaded with playmakers and I think Tyrod will have the wherewithal to get the best out of them. For sure his performance so far has been uneven but what I see is a guy with a very strong arm that is not inaccurate and who can make plays with his legs. I have to think those are the main takeaways from the two games so far and I also believe that the Bills brass are very pleased with what they have seen (while acknowledging that Tyrod and the O are a work in process) otherwise they might not have traded Cassell. Trading MC may have been an even greater vote of confidence in Tyrod than it was in EJ.

Jones makes Glenn look like he's on skates lol!

Team has a number of undisciplined hotheads prone to lose their focus and fly right off the handle when the task at hand requires concentration, professionalism and attention to detail. Then Rex shows up and spends the week pouring a jerry can of gas on the fire. Recipe for disaster.

It's broken whatever it is. Could be a collarbone or left arm.

27/17 Bills of course.

I wonder what Bucky thinks of Eagles fans.

Exactly right. Brady was a very good college QB and he was in fact better than DH. True he was not exactly exuding athleticism but as you say he was big. Also he always had excellent intangibles and leadership skills. For Brady himself the bottom fell out when he was not taken in the third round, which is where he thought he would go. Based on what he did at Michigan I too have a hard time understanding why he was still there after the third.

All things considered Tyrod did about as well as any reasonable person could possibly expect. That's the real takeaway IMO. His command of the offence and the action seemed at times tenuous but this is his first game as a pro with a bunch of talented but unfamiliar pieces that have been thrown together in a new offence without much practice time together. Around after the bye I expect this guy may have to start writing even more positive articles, tho as a Patsfan it will probably make him sick to do so.

Just as the Colts were successful with it in the second half (albeit perhaps with the Bills giving the cushion to eat the clock and prevent quick scores). In Rex I trust (in this case). If he can't scheme to beat Brady, Belly and the Pats no one can.

It's obvious you know nothing about Italian moda. The best has always been extremely conservativo. The same can be said about the best French, British and American clothes. I'm hoping Tyrod's taste changes after he signs his 100 million dollar deal with Buffalo in a few years after he leads the Bills to a world championship.

Not what I would choose for myself. He could do a lot better IMO. However he can wear whatever he wants (especially if he is good at football).

He's small, he's (pretty much always) hurt, he's hardly a great receiver by any stretch of the imagination. He's maybe a notch above TJ Graham and that's pretty much it. Lots of guys are fast.

Tyrod gets huge support from the guys who actually play the game, including both current and former players, some big name guys like Ray Lewis. Nate Burleson says the week one matchup he is most interested in is Bills/Colts because of the QB matchup. He gives Tyrod high marks. Michael Robinson insists Tyrod has what it takes to succeed. He is unequivocal in his view.I think they know what they are talking about and I have more confidence in their opinions than I do that of bean counters and media types who have never seen the field or been in a huddle.

He gonna be good just like Russell.

16/22 for 217 26 rushing yards 2 Passing TD No Int 1 fumble (recovered by Bills) Bills win 31-24

True of course, unless Judge Berman knew Kraft was going to be there, in which case IMO it signifies a lack of, what's the word, judgement.

Wonder what Judge Berman was doing partying with Robert Kraft in the Hampton's over the weekend. Not saying the judge was, what's the word, bias, but probably not the best form nevertheless.

EJ will not be traded IMO. His contract is fully guaranteed and is a sunk cost. I agree with those who say his trade value is at best a 5th, probably worse. I don't see Whaley going for that. I think EJ still has more value as a prospect than a late round selection. Bills will continue to evaluate him and if he can build on his good PSeason showing things could open up for him as early as next year.

Great stuff. QB position group as a whole much better off with him than without. He can mentor the other two and he is serviceable to play if needed.

On a par with the "what happened to Andre Davis" thriller. The two might even have a common thread.

Eddie would always seem to be either the batterer or the batteree. His game was physical for sure either way. I remember his showdowns with Ray Lewis.I didn't realize Eddie had the footspeed of Karlos but I always thought of him as a pretty savvy runner. I suspect Karlos is one cut and go. Interesting comparison tho.

I agree Rex is the best at this sort of thing. I guess rolling coverage with help from a safety over the top would help since that way at least the play would be in front of Darby. He seems to me to have the most trouble when his back is to the LOS on deeper routes.

I have nightmare visions of a great white shark with an ugly Amish beard zeroing in on a piece of chum wearing a Bills uni #28. It's about the most unequal matchup I can imagine. I think the Bills may be good enuf to beat Indy straight up, let alone the line but Darby is singlehandedly capable of changing that in a split second. How many years did it take McKelvin to learn how to turn his head? For sure Rex will have to come up with something - or else.
