boyst Posted September 1, 2013 Posted September 1, 2013 There are some strange rules to the PS. Most thought that Easley was ineligible but Brown reported he could have been put on, too. the players must clear waivers, first. There is still a high chance they could end up here

Rockinon Posted September 1, 2013 Posted September 1, 2013 This team needs a guard. At least 1 CB...probably 2. And I have to agree, that with Kolb Ko'd the Bills have some other QB in their line of sight.

Astrobot Posted September 1, 2013 Posted September 1, 2013 Our List of eligibles for the PS: QB Thad Lewis RB Zach Brown RB Kendall Gaskins WR Brandon Kaufman WR Da'Rick Rogers TE Nick Provo T Zebrie Sanders G Zack Chibane G Keith Williams C David Snow C Ryan Turnley DL Izaan Cross OLB Jamie Blatnick OLB Kourtnei Brown OLB Keith Pough ILB Brian Smith CB Crezdon Butler CB Kip Edwards CB T.J. Heath CB Jumal Rolle S Jordan Dangerfield S Dominique Ellis Of our CBs, I like Butler the most as I think he's malleable (Rolle isn't). Bobby Felder did well against us in the MIN game. My Bills PS players would be Lewis QB, Kaufman WR, Rogers WR, Gaskins RB, Blatnick OLB, Sanders (would move to OG), Felder CB, and Chris Greenwood CB, who we saw when playing the Lions.
Sisyphean Bills Posted September 1, 2013 Posted September 1, 2013 This team needs a guard. At least 1 CB...probably 2. And I have to agree, that with Kolb Ko'd the Bills have some other QB in their line of sight. They have 2 rookie QBs with 1 recovering from injury on the active roster and 1 of the 2 disaster options Marrone mentioned on IR, so it seems like a no-brainer that they are looking for another QB.
G-Daddy Posted September 1, 2013 Posted September 1, 2013 So when should we start to hear about players awarded to the Bills off waivers? This pm or tomorrow? Tks.
bills44 Posted September 1, 2013 Posted September 1, 2013 So when should we start to hear about players awarded to the Bills off waivers? This pm or tomorrow? Tks. This afternoon, I would presume
Matt in KC Posted September 1, 2013 Posted September 1, 2013 So when should we start to hear about players awarded to the Bills off waivers? This pm or tomorrow? Tks. Waiver claims need to be in by noon Eastern. I don't know how long it takes to process the claims and for us to hear something, but I expect we'll start to hear something in the next hour or two.

Reddy Freddy Posted September 1, 2013 Posted September 1, 2013 La Canfora just tweeted we're sticking with EJ and Tuel as the only QBs for week 1. Good indication that EJ will be ready to go.

Doc Posted September 1, 2013 Posted September 1, 2013 Good. If the Bills end up losing both EJ and Jeff and are down to the 3rd QB, a guy who would have barely been with the team and barely got any snaps the week prior to the game, they're better off just putting Freddie in at QB and running the Wildcat every play. Probably have the same chance of winning.
iommi Posted September 1, 2013 Posted September 1, 2013 Ian Rapoport @RapSheet 6m The Bills are adding QB Thad Lewis to their practice squad, source says. So not just going with 2 QBs. Tommy Streeter, too.
BRAWNDO Posted September 1, 2013 Posted September 1, 2013 Mike Rodak @mikerodak 4m Bills are signing QB Thad Lewis to their practice squad, per multiple reports.
BillsFan3434 Posted September 1, 2013 Posted September 1, 2013 (edited) Profootballtalk just posted Buffalo is not going to add another QB. Does that pretty much squash that Manuel won't be healthy enough for week one? Why would you go in to week 1 with only 1 healthy quarterback? I think that all but says Manuel will be your week 1 starter. With that being said I think that gives us 2 CBs and 1 OL that we will be picking up either off waivers or via trade / whatever other source. Edited September 1, 2013 by BillsFan3434

Reddy Freddy Posted September 1, 2013 Posted September 1, 2013 (edited) A player on the PS can't be called-up during a game. So they are going with just 2 QBs. Exactly. I guess they could bump Thad up to the active roster if EJ has a setback and is not ready to go, but that would seem like a pretty big gamble since any team could snatch up Thad from the PS at any time. I realize that's not likely, but if it happened and EJ wasn't ready for some reason then we'd be screwed. All that to say I think this is pretty unequivocal evidence that EJ is good to go.

Kelly the Dog Posted September 1, 2013 Posted September 1, 2013 A player on the PS can't be called-up during a game. So they are going with just 2 QBs. They could add Lewis to the roster during the week if EJ can't go. But I fully expect EJ to be fully ready.
JM57 Posted September 1, 2013 Posted September 1, 2013 A player on the PS can't be called-up during a game. So they are going with just 2 QBs. Or as Caplan just tweeted sign Lewis to the active roster Weds/Thursday if Manuel had a setback
