Fan in Chicago

This can be looked upon as a sign of disrespect for the Bills O, bit I see it more as a lack of discipline. Media outlets around Chicago are critical of Trestman for excusing Briggs to open his restaurant in California: Sun Times Tribune

Guys, Check out this thread. http://forums.twobillsdrive.com/topic/169157-chicago-week-one/page__st__60__gopid__3235224#entry3235224 There is a (now) Bills-only party on Saturday from 7-10 p.m. Few of us will be going there again on Sunday to watch the game also. Thanx to The Big Cat for putting this together. RSVP for the Saturday event if you want to ensure getting in.

TBC, got my email with RSVP confirmation. I am so excited now that the bar is closed for our Bills-only party !! See you at 6:45-ish.

Oh you guys are smart - pushing your prison expenses on the US. Methinks Canada needs to produce less Biebers and more Eugenie Bouchards .

Good work and I agree with your matchup assessment. I think the Bears secondary can be exploited big time. The OL has to hold and EJ has to look for a big passing day. On D, our pass pressure and CBs are key.

This dude is going off the rails in a hurry.

I am not an IT guy so you know more than me. For years, I keep hearing glowing stories of how the Mac hardware/software resists viruses and attacks much better than Windows PCs. It seems like nothing negative ever happened to those computers. This 'break-in' indicates how vulnerable systems in general are. Any small flaw and someone will figure out a way to exploit it. Apple just eventually grew large enough to be a big enough target for hackers. Apple seems to have a teflon coating though - the maps disaster of last year (?) caused no effect on the iPhone's popularity and not sure this high profile breach may either.

Brady is a great QB. That said, **** Brady*

I used to live a tad north of you - in Warren, PA.

For years, the Apple fanboys have prided themselves and propagated the notion that 'my Mac doesnt get viruses or get attacks' . And this hack is now executed on the iCloud servers.

Whereabouts in North central PA ? Didn't know that civilization had touched that part of the earth.

Of immediate concern is the unfamiliarity of Orton to the Bills offense. (hold the joke about having only 4 plays to run). The two backups who knew the offense are not on the active roster. Till Orton comes up to speed (which could take a few weeks), we better pray like hell that EJ doesn't get nicked up (not that I ever want him to get hurt but from a team's perspective, especially not in the next few weeks). The trick in this situation is that wanting to protect EJ could result in a game plan which is too safe. I would have liked Whaley to keep Tuel till such a time as Orton is ready. Then stash him away on the PS. As it stands right now, the offense's hands may be tied with respect to how aggressive they can be.

I am wondering if we are going to keep only 2 QBs on the active roster. Perhaps the plan is to pull Tuel from the PS if anything untoward were to happen to EJ or Orton. Back to your point, we should have a developmental prospect now, as the #3 on the active roster. It does not serve the team well in the short term to draft said prospect next year as it will be 3-4 years before he can be any good (if at all).

Must have been written by a Bills fan. It's too perfect.

Perhaps this is what Marrone was yelling at Whaley about ,' please get these sorry excuses of QBs out of here'.

Problem is, it's not just about topics related to QB . even discussing WRs or TEs immediately goes into a tangent of 'what's the point if the QB can't get him the ball'.

This is a painful lesson for me to always read the TOS before signing on.

If true - wow! Imminent signing off a developmental prospect? Pryor?

The Trent Richardson trade takes the cake but the Bills came out ahead in this one too. Problem is, the Colts tanked at just the right time to suck into Luck and this will likely color all these missteps. Much like Polian's tenure with the Colts was terrible but was covered up by the Manning draft.

And yet another thread devolves into an EJ bash fest.

Most likely explanation - Whaley was trying to get Orton who wouldn't commit. But EJ and Tuel had to be protected from injury. So, Palmer was a warm body to simply play the last game of preseason till Orton realized he has no better option. Preseason over, Palmer's role was done and got cut. Orton calls Whaley from his sauna and agrees to sign.

I have been very vocal about getting Orton since he was released by the Boys. IMHO, this is the best move that Whaley could have made. Should have happened several weeks back to let him learn the offense and the players. But, better late than never. He will take time to come up to speed, but getting him instantly covers us on the downside. Our QB position is suddenly a whole lot better. Go Bills!!

Do you say that because you are happy with our QB situation or because you think there is a better alternative out there? At this point I will settle for 'solid insurance' Honest question- what did he do in Dallas that makes you say that?

Or it could turn out to be a promising player like Seantrel Henderson. My point is, get what you can for worthless roster clutter like TJ Graham. I disagree with you regarding him being a likely decent player - even in flashes.
