andrewsz1991 Posted October 3, 2010 Share Posted October 3, 2010 After today I have come ot the conclusion that we can never be satisfied with anything. We played a ****ty game. Our line sucks, our defense sucks, our running backs can't find the holes, our special team sucks, our front guys suck. But, everybody keeps saying that Fitz isn't a good starter he's not a long term fix. What I saw in him today is a lot what I saw in Doug Flutie, he did everything in his power to make positive plays. He made good throws (many of which were dropped) and had a positive attitude the whole game. I think quarterback-wise judging from what I've seen in two games this is the most comfortable I've been with a quarterback since the days of Flutie. The rest of the team is awful and we should start trying to fix that. I think if Mark Sanchez or Chad Henne could be considered long term starters, Fitzy can possibly be our guy.

PS 56 Posted October 3, 2010 Share Posted October 3, 2010 I have to agree that Fitz did everything he could. He didn't have a hell of a lot to work with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nick in* england Posted October 3, 2010 Share Posted October 3, 2010 Fitz is not our guy. Everyone in the NFL knows it apart from Fitz and him Mom. He is the living embodiment of why this team sucks so bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrewsz1991 Posted October 3, 2010 Author Share Posted October 3, 2010 What did he do that was so bad? He made great throws, allowed his receivers to make plays (Steven Johnson) there were just so many dropped passes. And he's a great runner. I don't really see why he's the embodiment as to why this team sucks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillsPhan Posted October 3, 2010 Share Posted October 3, 2010 ...everybody keeps saying that Fitz isn't a good starter he's not a long term fix. What I saw in him today is a lot what I saw in Doug Flutie... Sure, Fitz looked exactly like Flutie, except for him not being as fast as Flutie was, as shifty as Flutie was, and his arm being half as strong as Flutie's was. Other then those "minor" facts, yeah..Fitz is Flutie. I said this during preseason, there is really no difference between Fitzy and Edwards. Edwards has the height and the arm, and zero football sense. Fitzy has good football sense, but is just barely tall enough to be a good starting QB, but he has the arm of a second string journeyman. I got caught up myself in Fitzy's game against the Pats last week, and thought maybe he has improved over this past off -season. Alas, the Pats defense is in fact as bad as posters out here tried to say they are, and the Jets top 5 defense brought me back down to earth fast. I was right months ago, Fitzy cannot make it as the starter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ryan Fitzpatrick has bounced around the league from STL, to CIN, and now is in BUF for a reason. He's a journeyman backup guy without the physical talent to win consistently. I don't care who he's playing for, he's a career backup and has plateaued into what he is now. When every team had a chance at him no less than 3 times they passed. That should tell you something that has nothing to do with his WR corps or OLineman. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You may be right but Sanchez looked like an all pro today. He is the real deal IMO Fitzy did everything he could i agree wih that...its amazing how many passes were dropped or bad routes.

BuffaloBillsMagic1 Posted October 3, 2010 Share Posted October 3, 2010 The guy has more testosterone in his right pinkie than Trentless had in his whole ken doll body. Guy left it all on the field. Too bad we did not have a def lineman. off lineman or LB with his guts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bkc Posted October 3, 2010 Share Posted October 3, 2010 Fitz was not the problem today that is for sure. That said I can not see him being the long term solution. I never thought our front seven would be this bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrewsz1991 Posted October 3, 2010 Author Share Posted October 3, 2010 I'm saying. He created opportunities I like that we're utilizing Steven Johnson and David Nelson and it's just wild people can still be upset with his play Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kevin Posted October 3, 2010 Share Posted October 3, 2010 Fitz is a good backup. The future of this club is probably not on this team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vincec Posted October 3, 2010 Share Posted October 3, 2010 Frankly, I can't believe RF played as well as he did given the absolute disaserous play around him. The Bill still probably need to bring in a QB, but if they don't put more talent around him- especially on the OL- it will be a waste of a draft pick as he will surely be destroyed and fail to develop.

Peter Posted October 4, 2010 Share Posted October 4, 2010 Fitz played his heart out. I feel sorry for any QB who has to play with the Bills piss poor pass protection. As I said earlier in the week, playing against the Patriots poor defense was a mirage. With teams that bring the heat, it is not going to be a pretty picture. Fitz can hold his head up high. As for most of the rest of the team . . . . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
