Then don't read it. No one is forcing you, and what could you expect after a game like that, and so many years of futility?
Typical response. Of course I'm not being forced to read it. I guess what I meant to say, which obviously applies to you, is quit being such ****ty fans.

I hear that. Sorry to pile on. But today's performance is hard to view with "pessimism". Pessimism would be like oh we lost and that stinks and i don't think we can win these close games etc. The last two weeks have been more like... wow. This is the most incompetent display of (offensive) football I've seen at almost any level. It's really that bad.
I'm watching a real NFL game right now. Watching the saints get down but not completely crumble. Watching them to be able to run some plays and sustain a drive here or there. The way the Bills lose is just... i mean how do you describe it? How do you describe a team (or offense rather) that always shys from the moment? Never lifts the team. Better hope the D or special teams (or fred jackson single handedly) makes a play. Otherwise, forget it. 3 and out like clockwork.
I get the offense was bad. Especially frustrating because we could have won by running more. But, hypothetically here, say PI is called on EJ's pick at the end of the game, like it should have been. Hypothetically, say he throws a TD to win the game one play later. That's one play different than what we saw. By all accounts, still a horrible game for EJ. However, we wouldn't have nearly as much pessimism, because of the win. The missed receivers, tipped passes, late throws, etc. would be an afterthought.
EJ is a young QB. Our coaches are a young staff. Both need to improve drastically. That being said, it does the franchise no good firing coaches or benching our 1st round QB at this point. EJ has potential. Our coaches have potential to be great. They need the opportunity to learn from mistakes and take that next step.
Don't get me wrong. I would love to win now. Orton could maybe provide this. Maybe not. I'm more interested in finding consistency to win for years. EJ needs to play so we can determine if he is part of the future.
Also, we'll make the playoffs this year.

What sucks the most is coming to this board and reading all the pessimism. Reading all the b*tch*ng is WAY harder to stomach than the poor play displayed on the field today.

12) Not sure how you're seeing this. Several times EJ should have been down in the backfield but kept the play alive with some good balance and nimble feet.
Pertaining to when he scrambles out of the pocket and up the field, yes, he goes down easy. I believe, however, this is coached and intentional to avoid unnecessary injury for extra inches.
The people who are blaming EJ must of watched a different game than me. The offensive line opened zero holes for the running game, there was zero pass rush, and the defense gave up long ass drives. That is why we lost.
Right? EJ had a performance almost identical to the first two weeks, both on the field and final statistics. Yet the first two weeks, because we won, he was "really developing" and "improving greatly". Now, people are calling for Orton. I get it, we lost, but not because of EJ. Just like we didn't win the first two because of EJ.

2 for 4 on CBS pregame. Tony and Bill picked us. Bart and Boomer picked SD.
-
I say this, and if Sammy and Goodwin are healthy ALL year 3900 yds and 29 td's
I'm sure we would all, mostly, be extremely satisfied with this type of season from our 2nd year QB.
-
If he does this well or better I'd say maybe a .500 season, or maybe even a game above that.
IF he lives up to my prediction, and with our D...I'd put us at 11 wins.
EJ is throwing 30 TDs this year? On the heaviest run team in the league?
We saw Freddy catch 7 passes last week, correct? It's using our RBs in this manner (even if it is a check down and not the first, second or third option), and their ability to run after those catches, that have me believing 30 TDs is a real possibility.
-
I think that's a little too optimistic. I'd say:
I think the talent around EJ, both the WRs' run after catch yardage and our RBs catching passes, will help his stats a lot.
-
Let's get a little optimism going around here (or let your hate out, haters), and get ready for the 2014 season!!
Throw out your prediction for EJ's stats at the end of the regular season. We'll worry about his post season stats when we lock up the division at the end of November.
What say I?
3,700 yards, 30 TDs, 15 INTs, and a 65% completion percentage
-
My favorite quote in regards to our D line..."Wouldn't surprise me if this is the last time we see Ryan this year"
-
Would have liked to see Cleveland win (based on remaining schedule), but if Chiefs can maintain their lead, Baltimore holds on, and Carolina can comeback and win I'll be happy.

Rustee Fuc....I mean Frostee Rucker

Cut him NOW!!! (oh, that was from last year
)And why can't players get mad? Fans were terrible to Williams last year. He took a lot of crap on Twitter and he got pissed. Why do fans get a pass for their behavior all the time? I realize it is a small minority of fans, but as bad as Williams was last year, he is the top 1% of his field. I'm glad he turned it around but some fans act like idiots and then don't understand why players don't like interacting with them.
Good thing we don't let the fans run this team. I remember, also last year, that everyone was so upset we cut Tank Carder. Granted, some of that had to do with the Lynch trade, what we got in return, yadda yadda yadda lobster bisque... But anyway... I looked up Tank's stats just for fun. FOUR total tackles this year. Although, 75% of those are solo tackles. Imagine if the fans ran this team. Aaron Williams would be gone, Tank would be starting at LB, and Roscoe would still be returning punts. Oh, and Stevie, our best receiver and a player that absolutely loves this team and city, would be gone.

Because they're not making the playoffs again
Trade for picks while you can
Stevie's not getting traded with his current awful contract, so this is silly. I'd be open to a 2nd for him if the guaranteed money wasn't a killer.
Right. Lets trade a proven NFL player who is a top contributor to this team on and off the field for a pick we can use to take a player that will maybe work out.
Then, if that player is a bust we can start topics about cutting said player or about how we should trade player to team x for a 7th round pick. I mean that team would be crazy not to want a former 1st or 2nd rounder for a 7th round pick. Right? Right?!?!?
-
No. Why does everyone always want to trade our entire team away?
-
They only said this to make Byrd actually play hard. Would he play to the highest level for the Bills? Probably not. Will he play if he thinks he's auditioning for another team? Hmmmm
-
We can run fake punts again!!
-
Anyone want to undervalue EJ now?
-
Time to regroup and put 7 on the board!
-
I'm not sure I would even enjoy a Bills blowout for a victory after the excitement of a game like that!!!!

Hoping for more NE FGs so I can get more fantasy points. Oh, and some Geno INTs for my own amusement and so we can say EJ is obviously the better QB.

I was watching Mike and Mike and they were going through a bunch of top 5s from the first week of football. Top five catches, top five did that really happen, etc. Right as I had to leave they were cutting away to a commercial but said they would do the top five speeches when they returned, and happened to show a picture of Freddie as they were cutting away. Did anyone see this or know if Jackson's sideline huddle speech got mentioned? Just curious and also, its great to see our true leaders stepping up when needed.

I believe Marrone mentioned that after having Tuesday off they would practice Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, before doing a normal walkthrough Saturday.

Completely agree. I was by no means advocating for the PI to be called there. Simply using the situation as a basis to provide a comparison for the exact same game with one different throw.
