That's not it, just say something controversial and you will get all the "friends" you want.
I thought my last couple of comments would at least garner some type of reaction. I'll try harder!
Or just beg for attention like you're doing now. That gets the job done for most people.
Seriously, though, it's perfectly fine to change your mind on Ryan. I think everyone was at least a little skeptical. And, of course, they haven't accomplished anything yet, but I like his moxy and I think he's the kind of leader the Bills need.
Seems to have worked!
I never doubted his coaching ability. I mainly just had a distaste for his obnoxious comments and loud mouth. I'm not sure if he seems to have toned it down or not. But, when he's on your side, obnoxious and loud seems more like cool and confident.

I need to post more often and make more friends so people will actually respond to me. The only thing I ever did wrong was express my displeasure of the Rex Ryan hiring. But I'm fully on board now and actually love that he is our head coach. I promise.

I really do not think EJ has looked any worse or better than any of the other QBs overall (based on impartial tweets, TBD reports, and the first preseason game). He has the highest ceiling. That said, I truly believe his leadership skills, or lack thereof, are holding him back. Can he take command of the huddle, get in someone's face when needed, and truly motivate and control his teammates on and off the field.
I'm really not sure that he can, at least not at this point. If he had this ability, I think he would be at the top of the depth chart.

Everyone was screaming for a developmental QB. He's here his name is EJ Manuel. Highest upside of his draft and no pro coaching until 3 months ago.
One of the biggest pieces of his development is likely undoing what Marrone and Hackett screwed up the past two years.
-
BINGO!! They are developing him the right way. Piece of clay to mold.
Though his time exclusively with the 3s and "maybe some reps with the 2s" seems to indicate he has fallen behind, I do like the idea of him getting all the reps he can. He was clearly mishandled his first two years in the league and almost undermined by the coaching staff. I still believe EJ can be the long term answer at QB, but I guess we'll see. I will admit TT was exciting to watch on Friday and kept the offense moving.
EJ is going to get the majority of the game Thursday. I wonder what happens to the competition if he does something ridiculous like 22 of 25, 3TDs, 285 passing and 40 on the ground.
-
I get a little sad every time I read a tweet mentioning EJ working with the 3s. I won't accept it. He can still win this thing!
-
Haha. That QB depth chart is hilarious.
Shouldn't we take time to analyze and read way too far into the order they're listed?
-
I mean... They do have the best D line in the NFL though.
-
Up to 15, impressive actually. However, failing to mention EJ in their comment is stupid.
"15. Buffalo Bills
Tyrod Taylor winning the starting quarterback job would be a crazy story. He has completed one NFL pass since 2012. But it sure seems, from reports there, like he's had a much better camp than Matt Cassel."

1. Buffalo Bills
2. Purdue Football
3. Atlanta Braves
4. Pittsburgh Penguins
5. Tiger Woods

Enjoy watching the Broncos, simply because they always seem to have a talented roster, but my overall feelings are meh. Now, when Tebow was there, I made it a point to tune in and watch any game that didn't interfere with Buffalo. The excitement he brought was making me a fan, but that didn't last long.
-
Matthew Stafford's rookie year mic'd up made me a fan, and I've enjoyed watching him ever since -
Also, ever since his K-State kick returning days, I have really enjoyed watching Darren Sproles.
Fitzpatrick, Larry Fitzgerald, and Russel Wilson are a few others.

I started thinking yesterday is Rex the "biggest star" in Buffalo sports history (at least outside of OJ)? I know that Jim Kelly's stardom has been on the rise lately and Gronk is up there with Rex. But it is possible that he is THE most recognizable person to ever be a part of Buffalo sports.
Did he get a key to the city? Cause....I think that is the only way the city can determine who the biggest star is.
-
What if EJ leads us to a 13-3 record but goes down in the 4th quarter of week 17 with a season ending, non career threatening injury. Then Tyrod starts and wins all playoff games, including the Superbowl. Who do you start in 2016?
-
Since it seems as though the unthinkable can happen around here...Let's bring Cobb in to go along with Sammy and Shady on this O.

Live in Fort Collins, Colorado. Four guys at the office that are fairly dedicated sports fans. A lot of disbelief and shaking heads as to why the Bills would hire Rex Ryan.

I have to admit that when Coach Tuesday called the shot back in October I posted that I hated the idea of Ryan in Buffalo, calling him a buffoon and overrated and such. Its hard to see through the prism of fan-hood sometimes and the coach of the hated Jets is to be hated. After today, I am bought in. He had me hooked at "bully". Yeah!
Some years ago I had a sales manager that worked for me who garnered a reputation in the company because of his relentless competitiveness which drove him to be demanding and relentless in getting whatever he needed to succeed. We used to say (with all respect) "he may be an ****ole, but he is our ****ole". I was reminded of that today.
Seriously, I do not know how any Bills fan could listen to Ryan today and not be thrilled that he is ours. Have we ever had a coach with this kind of confidence, this kind of attitude, this kid of personality? I can't recall one. I know the last high profile coach we hired was probably Chuck Knox. The coaching carousel in Buffalo has not even risen above mediocre since Wade Phillips. Never have we had the combination of profile, confidence, ability, and enthusiasm that we saw displayed today.
We will certainly debate ad nauseam over the coming months and the coming season every aspect of the team, every decision, and every aspect of the head coach's decisions. I have no idea if the Bills will be successful or not, although I am optimistic. It cannot be denied though that this is going to be fun. I think we turned a corner today and count myself among the converted. Get on board Bills fans - its going to be a hell of ride.

I slightly overreacted, very negatively, when Rex was originally announced as coach. But as a couple days have passed, and my hatred of Rex's loud mouth and arrogance, fueled by my hatred of all things Jets, has had a chance to calm down, I'm liking this more and more.
That arrogance and cockiness sure sounds a lot more like confidence when it's on your side.
-
Not really a happy camper with this pick I was hoping we would take a long look at Kubiak
With that in mind I hope is was the GM that could not find any offense for the Jets or players .
Rex started out fast and faded after that.
Hopefully he can start fast hear and Whaley and Co can keep us that way.
The upside Rex has won without a quarterback, Hopefully he has a better choice than his past OC because sexy rexy has not done well there as a HC (hopefully it was the GM in NY)
Careful. Not really a safe place to say you don't like the hire. Apparently the 50-52 record he is bringing town is really inspiring to most.
-
And so are you.....its an opinion....like that stinky, unwashed thing you are sitting on. When you buy the team, you can ask people to leave the fan base....until then, its a discussion website where discussions take place.....god, why is that so hard to comprehend for some here.
Hooray! There are some who understand thoughts can be discussed and you don't have to want to punch the other guy in the face just because an opinion differs.
-
Why is he a horrible person? Please explain, and be specific.
Okay. He's a great guy, just a DB. And there's enough press conference footage to make that case.
-
So as you trash the next head coach of the Bills and say he is destined for failure, that's what you're doing?
Faithful and supportive indeed.
(I've gotta stop feeding this troll, i know. Sorry all)
Because he's a horrible person. Buy, okay, its not about the person, its about finding a quality HC. So, I'm willing to listen. What's inspiring about Rex's 50-52 record as a HC?
-
So basically you're always wrong. Good. That makes me feel better about your opinion of rex ryan.
I don't think faithfully supporting a team and always hoping/believing something better is right around the corner is wrong.
-
No, you're not making reasonable arguments and you're being an ass about it if people disagree with you.
There's not a single argument on here that is "reasonable" if its a differing opinion.
-
You've expressed it. But now you're just crusading. You're on record, now go away.
I was under the impression this was a place to have an opinions and conversations. We can't all agree, but we can all discuss. If you can't handle differing opinions, you go away.

Well, I do despise the idea of Cassel as our QB. We've seen the story of washed up game manager play out time and time again. He should not even be on this team when preseason is over.
