Both those defenses looked soft.

Watching Vince Wilfork in the field goal kicking competition was entertaining.

There are some real gems in there. My favorite: This is an excellent example of how stats belie what's actually happening on the field. People never even saw him play for the Jets, but they heard he tallied 6 sacks, and proceeded to freak out. I saw those sacks. They were all the product of scheming and/or coverage, and any warm-bodied 2nd string LB could have done the same.

I never said it didn't.

If you didn't attend SJF, you've seen EJ throw 30 passes this preseason, only 2 of which were against starters. Also, aside from his first three series against Cleveland, all were against vanilla non-blitzing defenses. Contrast that to the hundreds of passes he's thrown in OTA's and TC this summer. The coaches know what they have.

Don't worry EJ fans, you'll always have Pittsburgh. The legend of him throwing those 8 passes in that game shall endure for decades.

He ain't wrong.

4 years regardless of playing time gets you vested veteran status. The big perk is that your base salary becomes guaranteed if you are on the roster week 1.

He's got one thing right - this was the fault of the Pegulas. They should have never said anything or got involved back in March. The fans perceived it as a wonderful gesture at the time, but it only delayed the inevitable. It was fairly evident back then that Fred wasn't part of the team's future plans. This would have also been the best situation for Fred, as well. It would have given more teams (with more cap maneuverability at the time) a better opportunity to determine if a 34 yr old RB fit into their plans. Also it would had given Fred some time to contemplate and plan his next move, instead of yanking his kids out of school and moving across the country 2 weeks before the opener. That pained look on Rex's and Doug's face at the press conference was genuine - they knew they botched this. They didn't have to throw him a parade, but they needed to handle this tactfully and with some (any) class. Taking a 9-yr vet and the face of the franchise and blindsiding him like a 2nd string UDFA punter was not the way to go about it. I see a lot of fans that loooooove to parrot the "It's business" quote from the Godfather. Well I got news for you, there's good business and there's bad business. That was bush league.

They'll attack the guy that left. Sad and classless.

Mike Rodak ‏@mikerodak 5h5 hours ago Leodis McKelvin is walking around with two shoes on today, like most of us. Notable given he was in a walking cast yesterday.

This is a red letter day for the EJ Dreamers.

You forgot emotionally. Was he emotionally the Bills best blocker? And 16th best overall guard is about right.

Actually $14M (he's owed $8M this year + 6 years @ $90M). Someone should start a Kickstarter to "Raise money for Marcel" to really illustrate how silly his comment was.

Well I was talking about the two 3-and-outs he had - I credited him for a nice final drive. At the end of the day, he scored 8 points in an entire half against Cleveland's 3rd stringers. If that's exciting to the fan base, then my comment about the bar being lowered for expectations still stands.

You really picked the wrong argument to play devil's advocate lol. Just walk away man, walk away

EJ still looks brutal under pressure, I think he was something like 3-7 for 19 yds until the final drive (on which, coincidentally, they stopped blitzing until we got into the redzone). I think the bar is set so low for QB play that any completion draws praise now. Still, credit him for getting the ball in the endzone and converting the winning 2. He'll make a fine backup.

Yeah, I bet they are jumping for joy in Tennessee right now. I sure wish we had a backup guard with an $8.6M cap hit. For those that want to reminisce Levitre: Hasn't heard anything from the Bills yet

It is true, and it is sad and disturbing. Any time there are heavy rains, Lake Erie turns into a toilet. If you look at an aerial photo of the shoreline after it rains, you will see a nice brown line of raw sewage. Here's an article from 2013 if you want some light reading.

Clowney, Wilfork, and Watt. That's going to be very interesting. Mallett's plea of "Brady gets away with it every time" was pretty funny.

Right now we have 3 DBs on this team that can play outside, and one of them is playing safety. Darby will be a good CB someday, but he's not ready for primetime just yet. And temporarily moving a CB (Graham) back to his natural position is not a "panic" move, it's a shrewd one. If Leodis can't go, I would say the odds of kicking Graham outside are a lot higher than lining up a rookie against Andre Johnson and Hilton.

So now it's his fault that Geno can't take a punch?

Milloy came over something like 4 days before the opener. We haven't even played a preseason game yet.

Build a bully.
