I agree with you he shouldn't have gone back in the game, but him going back in honestly calmed my nerves that it wasn't a serious injury

Def looked like an experimental night. I am not so much worried about the play as much as injuries, even though they appear to be minor. I am hoping for the best, and can't wait to see how we look in the opener. And hopefully EJ gets the start

I'm taking the deja vu and playing the denial card. I was hoping the word vanilla would be avoided this preseason

It is common discussion to compare a team to its competition. Hence why there are so many posts about the pats* on this site

Lol

Winning the health battle

Depends on what math you are using.

Not doomed. Beck is on a plane to buffalo to save the day!

Might be better than Kolb

Camp fodder

That's what I thought. Defense got tired because offense did nothing all day

No one said the bills were getting any favors. You just came to that conclusion yourself. People send the bills, and other teams made requests, and you acted like it was a myth. But no one said the bills are getting favors. There are so many variables going into creating the schedule, I doubt the bills record or their requests had much impact as other things.

Then you misunderstood the whole thing. PTR said the NFL makes takes into consideration NFL team's requests. Then you asked for "proof and facts" to support that statement. then I provided proof that the NFL listens to teams when they make the schedule. I never claimed anything about the nfl granting the bills any favors. It was said that the nfl does consider teams' requests when making the schedule, and you were the one that asked for proof. If I misunderstood you when you said this: Got link or any facts? I mean, I don't know how else to interpret that. looks like you asked for links and facts regarding the nfl considering teams requests for the schedule, which I provided. If you were not asking for links and facts regarding NFL teams making requests, then I guess your post was meant as something sarcastic rather than an actual question, I don't know. But ok.... I will try to better at reading in between the lines of your posts next time. My apologies

Joke or not, you clearly were unaware what goes into building the schedule and requested proof that teams would make requests, other than prime time games.

If you think that the schedule is created only by a formula created by an "intern" you have no idea how the nfl schedule is created. this is a really nice writeup via the new york times explaining the process. http://www.nytimes.com/2012/04/20/sports/nfl-schedule-makers-try-their-best-to-please-everybody.html?pagewanted=all&_r=0 and if you don't want to read the whole thing, here so some quotes: I mean, if you don't know that teams put in requests for the schedule, then you really have no idea what goes into it because teams make a TON of requests. And if you read the article, teams are not the only ones making scheduling demands with the nfl.

I think it was actually Ralph that said it... and it was like 4-6 years ago, so it might not be easy to find

Kaufman, Easley, and Hogan all look better than rogers imo

Byrdman!

From what I have seen, tuel = losman. And I mean that in a good way

I think EJ should be the starter, but 1) this will slow his development. 2) even though EJ should start week 1, it is reasonable to say the coaches with think Kolb is more "ready" and start Kolb instead. 3) the injury could have a setback or he might not be healthy enough for week 1, which isn't as much of a concern All in all, EJ should start, but this injury does play a part in this, and the reasons I listed above are what is bothering most people. If all goes well, EJ will start week 1. But this injury creates some doubt, just because we don't know the criteria of these coaches. If they go by talent, EJ. But if they think Kolb knows the system better, and thats more important to them, they might go with Kolb I think people are over reacting though. If Kolb starts for us, I can't imagine it being more than 2 games

Haw

I'm thinking this should be in the mix.Glenn is a decent LT, but if a good lt falls to them, they would prob draft the lt and move Glenn

Agree with you on that. On one hand it is riskier to knock out Kolb and give more reps to tuel. But on the other hand, it would be a bold move that I think will be worth it. But as far as the grading goes with the QBs, I still give the edge to EJ because he played the 1st and 2nd stringers compared to beating up on people who won't be in the bel next month. If we did switch them, and tuel did reps with the first team, EJ would destroy the 3rd and 4th stringers, which is a safe assumption. I just don't see the justification of tuel bring ahead of EJ. I can see Kolb in a way, but not EJ. Technically, Easily outplayed every receiver, if you go by that measuring stick , and he is lucky if he makes the team. I did give him props and I didn't "knock" him down. You must have been looking at another post

It would be a waste to give 1st team reps to tuel right now. If we spread them out to 3 qbs, we won't have a qb ready for weak 1. I don't see the point of giving the 3rd string qb 1st team reps when the other qb has done well. All that is going to do is bring a circus, have people doubt EJ, media/fans complaining that they are wasting EJ, all on a slim chance that tuel might outplay EJ vs starting nfl talent. If EJ played poorly, and tuel did amazing, I could understand that. But tuel did not outplay EJ on Sunday. All tuel did was do better than expected and might have earned a roster spot. But he did not outplay EJ

This "over-inflated" ego claim seems to be a little unjustified. Are you saying players like Eric Wood, Jeff Tuel, Dustin Hopkins, Kendall Gaskins have an over-inflated ego just because they post on twitter? I get not caring what people say on twitter. Although there are some nice exchanges (players interacting with fans, players giving out free stuff, pictures from practice/camp, etc) a lot of it is nonesense. But saying players that post on twitter have an "over-inflated" ego is unfair. As for the topic, I enjoy TJ Graham's tweets. I get a similar impression from his tweets that he likes being a Bill and would re-sign with us if he gets the opportunity. I really want to like CJ's twitter, but almost all his tweets are bible verses. Nothing wrong with it, but he doesn't have much "original" stuff I guess you can call it. I also like the players that post pictures of them with fans or just responding to fans. I think it is good to see players responding to fans, especially when the response is good. And as far as bills twitter accounts go, as anyone seen the fake Nate hackett account? it is @CrazyNateHacket. It was funny in the begining, but whoever runs the account is beating the red bull joke to death now. But I will admit. I got a good chuckle out it early on.
