The Big Cat

This guy's a great big phony.

Okay, so Marrone told the media he expects EJ to regress. Therefore, EJ will regress. Therefore, EJ will regress to the point where he's no longer better than Kolb/Tuel. This is what you believe? And you believe that said regression won't--in some part--be made up for in the week of practice before week one which he's now expected to be healthy for (as I expected him to minutes after this news broke yesterday)?

If he's healthy and the best quarterback we have, yes. The latter is now a foregone conclusion. His health is debatable since NONE of us has good information. Please explain why he shouldn't be the starter.

Has it been confirmed he'll miss practice??? Does it matter if he has the week+ of practice before opening Sunday???

You say this with such gusto! It's been said already, but evidently you missed/ignored it: He probably would have played one series in the fourth game. Which means he's missing may be a half of football he would have gotten in game three. We still haven't heard definitively that he's not practicing. So--assuming he plays in (at most) three of the remaining eight exhibition quarters, please provide--in detail--what non trivial gains he stands to lose out on. If you like, I'll happily share the risks those three quarters also pose.

I've been using the same Mac Airport since 2006, for the most part, it works just fine. We just moved to a bigger place, though, and while I have it pretty centrally located, the front of our place gets spotty strength. Distance between dead zone and airport is no more than 25-40 feet. Will we forever suffer a dead zone? Or will a new unit solve all our problems?

So, 17 pages ago when some of us floated the idea that he/the season will be perfectly fine, only to be brushed off like some idiotic dust mites...

Does everybody know what time it is!? Tuel Time!! That's right, Billford Tools is proud to present: Jeff--The Tuelman--Tuuuuuuuuuuuuuel!

I'm with you

Or--it was just as clear to the coaches as it was the fans that EJ's grasp of and ability to execute the offense is far superior, and if he keeps playing, risk of further injury far outweighs potential reward.

Am I the only one not concerned by this? Sounds like a precautionary procedure knowing the job is his--or that the battle now is for backup. We'll see how reports evolve, but this doesn't seen so bad. Full week of practice with the ones prior to week one, and he's 'back.'

Easley, Hogan and Rogers: pick two. Perhaps the reverse of Beerball's logic is at play and it's Easley who their strategically (in this case) showcasing. They won't keep him, but they make sure other teams take notice.

In light of Frasier saying teams co-prepare, and since the two squads practiced together this week, the very real possibility that TB knew the defenses he was facing makes some of his more jaw-dropping plays a bit easier to digest.

I loved the penalties, seriously. A lot of encroachment calls because players were being aggressive, and then with a short field, they still held them...on NUMEROUS occasions. So, in essence there was no "penalty" for aggression. Good. ALWAYS BE BRINGING IT.

A deep, thoughtful intelligent guy gets typecast as the dimwitted mimbo. No acting chops at all.

I mean...it's not like he used the same word...

Well, Skip's already been proven wrong: On training camp day one, the national spotlight will be on EJ Manuel. WRONG

I've never been able to "get a seat." I first went in 2006, haven't been back since 2010. Has wing quality declined? Or just the quality of dining experience, given the crowd?

Both are good, Bar Bill is better in my opinion. But it's a small, taverny place that fills up fast. Re: Anchor Bar--you don't go to Disney World for the rides. That's what Cedar Point is for.

Round here I don't see a lot of love for Barbill in East Aurora. What gives?

You weren't.
