It could just be a cover story till the HOF vote is over with. Polian is a football lifer I would wait and see what happens next month. It would be hilarious is Mort was getting played.

Orton wasn't going to take us where we need to go. His is a solid backup nothing more. We need to bring in veteran competition for EJ and let the best man win. I would take a flyer on Sam Bradford if he gets cut. I would also look to draft a developmental prospect to compete for Tuel's spot on the roster. Hopefully we can identify a QB who can go out and win some games as this team is close. Fix the oline, get a game changing TE and the offense will look totally different next year. I wouldn't be upset if Hackett is shown the door as well but it is hard to judge with the unsettled QB position and terrible O-line.

Bye bye Spiller!

Really can't stand Lee Smith he is always good for a couple of penalties and his blocking skills are overrated. I rather play gragg at least he is a threat to catch a pass and is an ok blocker.

EJ was over coached it was drilled into him to avoid contact and get out of bounds. I think EJ is overthinking out there instead of letting it loose. His style is very robotic and things don't come as naturally to him. The benching may be a blessing in disguise as he gets to work on things he needs to correct without all the pressure of trying to carry this team as he is not ready.

This guy predicts the Bears winning 28-2 lol. Couldn't he at least given us a field goal. http://www.sportsxchange.com/tsxfiles/?page_id=211&max_colums=60&story_id=87493

If you plan to turn the team over to Orton. EJ is not the answer and you need to be looking for a replacement. There is no point holding out hope for a guy who is not going to get any better sitting in the bench. EJ is the type of player who needs a lot of reps and if there is not tangible improvement the FO missed the mark time to cut the cord. I want to see if EJ can make it through a season without injuries. I think there has been some minor improvement from what I have seen from EJ in terms of delivery and footwork. The moving o-line around him has not helped with things. Chemistry with WRs takes time to build upon. Keeping the guy on the bench there will always be questions whether or not if he can be the man. I think he needs to go through the growing pains and see if he can make it. Orton is a serviceable starter but there is a reason he is a backup at this point in his career. Bills were desperate and paid for the lack of experience. If EJ is a franchise QB like this FO believes he can be it is time to prove it.

Barring injury EJ needs the entire season to prove himself. With the uncertain ownership situation I wonder if he gets it if things start to turn sour. Front office and coaching staff are playing for their jobs and they know it. I rather give EJ the full season and if he can't cut it turn the page and look for his replacement.

I think the primary reason for the Palmer signing was to extract information for the Bears game. It is totally a Belicheck move and anything else we get out of him is a bonus.

Looks like the practice squad will be increasing from 8 to 10 players starting this season. This is good news for young players who need extra seasoning. Also, in the event of injuries having someone familiar with your scheme you can bring up versus looking for street FAs. I hope we scour the waiver wire for an upgrade at guard as it still looks to be a major position of need. http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2014/08/18/report-nfl-expected-to-expand-practice-squads-to-10-players/

Jerry Hughes should be next. I think he is going to have a monster year. Sign him now before his price goes through the roof next year.

I think 20-25 throws is where they want EJ. I don't want him throwing the ball 30 plus times especially beginning of the season. It is all going to depend on the oline. The talent is there can the coaching staff put it all together. The more effectively this team can run the ball the more success we will see. 3rd down and redzone is where EJ needs to play his best.

I think that is what Hackett is trying to drill into EJ. Trust what you see and let it go. EJ does look mechanical sometimes out there trying to be too perfect which causes him to be late. Can he turn it around who knows but he seems like the type of kid who is going to work his tail off to improve. Hopefully that is enough to take this team where it needs to go. Can EJ be as good as a Flacco or Eli Manning I think he can. He seems to play his best ball under pressure. With a good oline I think he can make the next step this year just hope he can stay healthy all 16 games.

Seems like half the team had offseason surgery including Mario Williams. Can hear the excuses now if Mario gets off to slow start. http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap2000000353914/article/bills-kiko-alonso-mario-williams-had-hip-surgeries

All it takes is one injury and we have no one back there which is scary.

Morgan may be a cut candidate after June 1st since he does not fit in Titan's system. I am concerned about DE depth and think the Bills should be scouting the waiver wire this summer for another guy. Lawson hasn't played position since college and Jerry Hughes is a part time role player who I believe will struggle if asked to do anymore than rush the passer.

More positive news hope it comes true. http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap2000000352356/article/source-bills-buyer-must-be-prepared-to-stay-in-buffalo

All this means is that the Bills need to hit on the rest of their picks next year. There will be QBs available after the 1st. The draft is a crap shoot no one knows how it is going to turn out. I mean what happens if we draft another Aaron Maybin and Mike Williams next year. Whaley made the deal and stuck his neck on the line. Let us see how it all plays out.

Hopefully Troy niklas lasts until our 3rd pick. I would have preferred Morgan Moses instead but no complaints about drafting an OT. I trust the Bills medical evaluation so if they say he is fine that is good enough for me.

Looks like it doesn't matter Cleveland just drafted him.

Sucker some other team into trading up for him.

Spiller did his best work out of Gailey's spread offense so there is some hope there.

I think people would be more accepting of this trade had it been next years 2nd and not our 1st rounder in 2015. However, Watkins was identified as one of the elite players in this draft class and we got him. I hope we can swing a decent deal for Stevie. I would take a higher round pick in next yrs draft to make up for what we gave up.

No one is giving a late 1st or anything close for Stevie that is the sad truth. If we can move up for Sammy Watkins and Stevie is included as part of the package I would do it in a heartbeat.
