QB Manuel WR Stevie Johnson CB Brooks CB Rogers CB Burton LB Powell OL McClain I haven't been following this week's news too much so Stevie comes as surprise to me

I had and have been a supporter of signing Levitre and was disappointed that we did not. BUT, no matter where you fall in the Levitre debate, it is clear that the Bills failed to adequately replace him. In this discussion about whether or not we should have signed Levitre, a point is being missed (I haven't looked at the entire thread to see if it was made here). It was one made by NoSaint in another thread - there were other lower priced free agent Guards available in free agency. Fine if Levitre was 'too expensive' . Why did we not pursue Vasquez who signed with the Broncos @ 4 year - $23.5 million ? How about Willie Colon (may have been short gap but still viable) ? See this list: http://walterfootball.com/freeagents2013G.php What possible explanation is there to not have even pursued, say, Vasquez ?

Pure class. Such acts are worth admiring. Your post on the other hand ...

I am very impressed that Marrone went to the depth he did in explaining the decision process. Not sure I agree with him sharing all the details with the public but the fact that he took the time and effort is very commendable. He probably wants to cut down on the rumors and have him and his team focus on making the best of a bad situation. Are you honestly worried about this situation? If this were to come to pass, I would be ecstatic. 2-2 or 3-1 over the next 4 games would be far and above the best we could hope for. Yep. I corrected myself in another thread (or maybe in this one).

Indeed in yesterday's game itself, there was the 4th down attempt you mentioned and I also think the clock management at the end was poor. I was hoping they would make all attempts to run a lot of time of the clock or force the Jets to use their timeouts on the last Falcons drive. COnsidering that the Falcons were not playing well on D, they should have left little time for the Jets. I dont have it recorded to see exactly how this could have been done but remember thinking about it on the last Falcons possession.

Play action ? Who is going to be fooled ? I can bet its not that good Bengals defense. They will play press coverage and stack the box - dare Lewis to throw with the option being our RB running into a wall.

Isnt this point already being discussed here: http://forums.twobillsdrive.com/topic/162509-why-wasnt-lewis-ejs-backup/ A thread in which you have already contributed ? Why start a new thread on this ?

I will take the argument that Lewis came into the fold late. But, if Lewis was on the PS because he was not ready as of Thursday last week, what makes him ready and better than Tuel today? 3-4 days have made that much difference considering they did not practice over this weekend ? Putting it another way, if Lewis is ready over Tuel today, why was Lewis on the PS for the Browns game with Tuel as backup ? Something does not add up in my mind.

Thanx. I did not know that. Well, then this decision makes me really wonder what is going on with Tuel. What changed between last week and today ? If Lewis was a better option to start behind EJ, why was he on the PS with Tuel backing EJ ?

Wondering if Tuel showed nothing in the last few days of practice. Imho, doesn't bode well for Tuel

Good sound bite. Care to give examples to back that up?

That was fast. He must have been on a short leash. Who takes his place ?

Browns played disciplined, mistake free football. Once EJ went down, they just hunkered down and stayed slightly ahead. Good strategy on their part. We were entirely unprepared for an EJ injury.

Man, we have had no turnovers. A pick 6 will be awesome

Excellent D hold !!!

Looks like the D has to man up and win this one for us

Fooooey

Did I fall asleep ? I didn't see anything worth describing as taunting

Nice !!!
