Really want to see the online begin to get it together. Hopefully the young guys step it up, and Cordy comes back soon. Its probably our biggest dificiency right now, and greatly hinders EJ's progress.

No thanks, rather give him the modest deal he's worth (5.5M/yr), then keep him around for four more. He does have special talents, whether he's consistent with them or not, is another story, but he can do things you can't teach

I like the post, if for no other reason than the optimism. I feel we need more of that right now.

It makes sense now. All the blitz this week about JBJ keeping them in Buffalo, was damage control over this story coming out. The folks involved had to have known quite a while ago this was coming out. Also now shoe horning the same preliminary meetings about building a Buffalo stadium. Why wait 18 month's after doing this in Toronto? There's no reason to unless it's to try and fain interest in keeping them in WNY because the trust says they have to.

Mmm... Mongolian bbq! I think I'll join them. We can catch a buzz, then afterwards we'll race home

I just don't think it'll happen this year, he'll play it out, then earn a bigger pay day in FA, and we'll all regret it after his monster year.

Hmmm... Very interesting. I would certainly look toward acquiring a qb using these guys methods instead of the traditional 'draft in rd 1 and cross your fingers for two years'. It just rarely seems to work, and you have to reset everything and try again. I'd much rather throw darts at journeymen, and undervalued late round picks who sat for a few years behind a vet.

I honestly still haven't viewed the video, I hope its not totally inappropriate for this site, the description in the article told the story well enough for me. Being a Clevelander, and a bills fan this sort of thing strikes a chord with me. Not that I condone it, but a part of me gets it on some level.

As a person who's seen what's happened in Cleveland the last 15 years first hand, this is dangerous thinking. Only if EJ is horrifically bad over at least 6 games should they think about benching him when healthy. Especially without a first rounder next year. I certainly hope it doesn't come to this.

I'm hoping to score the dtv login where I work. They subscribe and have offered it months ago, but I feel weird asking again. If not, I just need a DTV subscriber, I'd give em cash up front for the PC login and I'll Chromecast it to the big screen. I'm sure I'll find one, but I've been procrastinating on securing it. Getting down to crunch time, no more lolli gagging for me! Pretty sure I'll be at the opener anyway. They are all die hard bears fans and we'll be in Chicago for a machine tool show that weekend! Only problem is they don't handle losing very well.

Ugh... after being a ST subscriber for 6 years, I cut the cord completely this spring (good move except for ST). I was banking on a deal like the madden option last year, but it doesn't seem like that'll happen. Now I'm beginning to panic. Have to find a solution quick. As an out of town Bills fan, I don't have many options. I can pick up a few Erie, PA channels with an antenna, but not their CBS. This stinks.

Wow its helpful to have it put in that context. At this point there isn't anyone from that class that I'd rather have. We definitely had to draft a guy, and in my opinion he's the only one. Nassib is obviously an unknown, but even if he turns out great, the comparison of his path of sitting behind a solid vet, vs a qb hungry team isn't fair. All that said please let EJ work out for this team. People still talk about what was given up to get Sammy, but starting over on the qb lottery sets franchises back way further than losing a first.

Just gives me chills. Very thankful that I got to watch that career. Probably my all time favorite Bill.

Can't wait to find ways to get the ball to Sammy. Sprinkle in EJ in year two, CJ, MW, and Bryce, it like I get a whole new team to play with. Just wish I had Kiko out there. His rating this year would have to have been high.

Some charmed life Jaws has lived. Completely mediocre qb, then latches on at ESPN early on. No way a former athlete of his talent level stays on with them at this point in ESPN's stature. Sure they probably hire him, they hire everyone that hangs up the cleats, but guys like him with no analyst talent never last more than a season. I do not think he has any talent. I loathe those shows, and lose a little respect for anyone I see watching them. But people are drawn to controversy so I understand S A Smith's existence. Jaws... completely baffles me, he just bring nothing to the table.

My point exactly, those two 'turn the dial' so to speak. Jaws elicits no reaction, and never has. He's just there. For the record, nearly all ESPN personalities stink on an epic level. Only a couple of sports center anchors (SVP), and a few analysts are worth a watch. Other than that, the sports themselves even get me to that channel.

Its beyond my comprehension why jaws still has a career. I've seen that guy on ESPN for what seems like 25 years now. He has never brought ANYTHING special to the network. I can understand personalities like Stephen A Smith or or the other clown on first take, because they at least are polarizing figures, jaws brings nothing to the table and yet they'll have him out there till he's 80. He has no talent whatsoever. Mind boggling!

The sudden mediablitz on JBJ keeping the bills in town is scary. It almost seems as if they know they have the winning bid and are doing preemptive damage control on the backlash. 0% chance that group keeps them in town beyond the current lease. I hope I'm wrong, but this all certainly seems planned.

It's definitely not a lack of confidence that is EJ's problem. He may or may not 'suck', but we won't know for sure until they begin to loosen the reigns on the play calling. Hackett needs much more of the attention right now. His amateurish game plans should be getting plenty of criticism.

Yes, I got behind them with this pick knowing what it meant. He was ALWAYS advertised as a development project. I can't after five starts begin calling them dumb for the pick and demand they do it all over again. This was EJ's first bad start (maybe the NYJ's to). Lightning in a bottle, and an immediate franchise savior was never promised, or implied. He just didn't look ready for game speed. That is on the coaches.

I'm certainly out of enthusiasm this year for sure. I do still hold hope for EJ, but I'm done with Hackett. The quicker he leaves the better.

Much like the Bills at 1:20pm, I'm checking out for the day!

Vomit inducing! EJ hasn't been this bad in any game this year. He's obviously not ready for game speed. That's on the coaches!

I'm sick, just sick!
