  1. If Pittsburgh can have a game this close, we will destroy NE. NE has too many weaknesses. This game was two bad teams beating up on each other. NE came out on top. So what!
  2. Don't we have a TE and ST contributor that also played QB?
  3. Cassel was not cut because of money. He was beat handily by 2 younger more talented guys. Why does it have to be so complicated? The fact that the Bills are saving money is nothing more than a bonus. Cassel did not earn his spot on this team. See ya!
  4. I'm thinking the ground and pound has been way over stated. We are going to see more airing it out than people previously thought.
  5. Now don't be giving Whaley any ideas.
  6. Bills come out swinging. Beat the Colts and the rest fall like dominoes. 9-0
  7. Plus we all ready have a tremendous amount of talent at WR.
  8. Would be funny if true....and they are just messing with Bills fans to be funny.
  9. ^^^My sentiments exactly^^^
  10. Points scored? Look at points scored and then it would become clear to you. Very clear. EJ is my guy. He is Mr. TD.
  11. This but only if EJ isn't named the starter....then he'll be tripping over himself to try and stutter out his disbelief while someone else reports first.
  12. Sounds like indigestion.
  13. Perhaps, but do you really think anyone here is really concerned about dignity? Don't take me to serious. Just having fun here. Surely you can see some humor in this thread?
  14. Nope. Where's the fun in that?
  15. From the media? Now that explains it then :lol:
  16. The media was making a big deal out of which QB was getting the most reps with the ones on offense. The QB that was getting the most reps against the ones has been EJ. Something that everyone has been missing. All through camp, they have been running 2 simultaneous practices and players have been rotating between fields. All the focus has been on which QB is in with the starting offense. Big mistake and quite the curve ball to the media who don't really see the big picture the way the coaches do.
  17. What? EJ did it with 3rd stringers to win the game last week. Sure he can do it with 2nd stringers.
  18. Hahaha! He's been doing that from day one. Where have you been?
  19. I know! Reading the tea leaves is what made me laugh. I have been following Sal too. I just happen to think guys like Sal and Joe B. don't know their arses from a hole in the ground. BTW, no offense was taken. I just have been enjoying all of the back and forth banter. Couldn't leave without throwing in my 2 cents. Rex did say that the preseason games would factor high in his evaluation. But you are right, it is not "problem solved" as you put it. Actually, hearing the comments from Rex, he is clearly pleased with all of the QBs.
  20. Rex has said several times that he has not yet picked his man. They have been running 2 simultaneous practices. EJ may actually have more reps....look it up.
  21. That is not true. EJ is getting as many reps as the others.
  22. I think EJ could very well be leading the in the competition for starter at this point. Everyone is so hung up on who is getting 1st team reps but what I have seen on three different occasions during camp, EJ has been taking snaps against the first team defense. He has been playing a lot with the 2nd-3rd team offense and still producing on par with the other 2 QBs. Also, according to PFF, he is also ranked 7th out of all the QBs that have played so far this preseason. Now I am not saying that EJ is a top 10 QB, but I do think he has improved more than what many of us here may be thinking. It is looking to me like Rex has been intentionally putting EJ in the most difficult position. And at the same time Rex has also made it look like EJ is only taking 3rd team reps. Problem is, while EJ is going against the 1st team defense, Cassel and Taylor have been going against 2nd-3rd team defenders. That skews the numbers quite a bit and fools the media into thinking that 1st offense means 1st team QB. When you see EJ in interviews, and on the field, he's smiling and having fun. He does not look the part of a player on the outs. I know many are enamored with the shiny new toy TT, but while I really do like what Taylor has been doing, I just don't see him as a starter. He would be a great package QB. And with all of the wildcat plays that the offense is installing, I think that is exactly what he will do. Taylor has a terrific advantage too because he can actually throw fairly well too. I see a defender spying TT and daring him to run. TT will have to throw more and run less if he wants to stay healthy. Cassel gets rid of the ball fast. He seems to always nibble and almost never takes a big bite out of the defense. I just don't see it with him. I see defenders crowding the box on him. EJ gets the ball down field and forces the defense to cover the whole field. He has enough escape-ability to let his receivers get down field. You cannot crowd the box on EJ because he can go over the top of the D pretty fast. This is what the great QBs in this league do. He isn't polished yet, but he has been getting better. I have been pondering the whole QB competition from this angle for a while now and at least to me it makes perfect sense. Of course, I might just be seeing things. Maybe I need to just put the computer down, turn the TV off and just wait for the season to start. I've actually been think about this since before the conspiracy thread was started. Can't get it out of my head!
