chaccof Posted November 17, 2013 Posted November 17, 2013 I asked the question last week about what we've really seen from Manuel. I didn't get to see today's game but listed on Sirius. I also didn't see last week's game but again listened. After less 2/3 of a full season I'm not convinced he's the answer to the long term QB question. Delighted that he played well today, but I think today's win goes to the defense. Believe me, I'd love to see EJM have a long and prosperous career with the Bills.
Beerball Posted November 17, 2013 Posted November 17, 2013 Not saying it wasn't but I wouldnt call his accuracy excellent on every pass either as was suggested Was mentioned a lot today Jets have been an every other week team Not sure what this means. Are you lessening the team accomplishment because it was the Jets week to lose?
TheBrownBear Posted November 17, 2013 Posted November 17, 2013 Rob Johnson and Trent Edwards had some decent games too. Not close to being sold on Manuel at this point.
Leelee Phoenix Posted November 17, 2013 Posted November 17, 2013 I'm glad EJ finally had a game that makes me think he could be a playoff worthy QB. Doesn't change for me, I'd focus on drafting a QB in the first 3 rounds next year and have a good competition.
26CornerBlitz Posted November 17, 2013 Author Posted November 17, 2013 Rob Johnson and Trent Edwards had some decent games too. Not close to being sold on Manuel at this point. Anyone who is rational isn't saying you should or shouldn't be.
Wayne Cubed Posted November 17, 2013 Posted November 17, 2013 Rob Johnson and Trent Edwards had some decent games too. Not close to being sold on Manuel at this point. You're grasping at straws... Neither started as a rookie. Try again.
iinii Posted November 17, 2013 Posted November 17, 2013 Like Michael Irvin on Thursday? Someone please send him some crow. Yep, and who were mighty loud and long about how Geno Smith was better and we drafted the wrong guy. Time will tell, time will tell.
yungmack Posted November 17, 2013 Posted November 17, 2013 What say you now? Excellent accuracy all day long on all throws short, intermediate, and long. A horrid game last week, a good game this week for EJ...That's about the same sort of season Geno Smith has had. So you might want to wait until sometime in December before gloating.
Max997 Posted November 17, 2013 Posted November 17, 2013 (edited) Every team is beatable. And accuracy is exactly what I'd expect to be lacking coming off an injury and limited practice. We saw today what extra practice brings. EJ's accuracy, particularly in that wind, was fantastic. I think you know what I meant by the Steelers were beatable last week. They did not play nearly as well as they did today Fantastic, really? EJs accuracy was better but fantastic is gojng way overboard Not sure what this means. Are you lessening the team accomplishment because it was the Jets week to lose? Was pretty self explanatory Jets play well one week then not the next Edited November 17, 2013 by Max997

So you might want to wait until sometime in December before gloating. Not exactly true. EJ has had two bad games....But never a down in the valley, deep, deep ugly Geno multiple turnover, pick six type of game.
MDH Posted November 17, 2013 Posted November 17, 2013 A horrid game last week, a good game this week for EJ...That's about the same sort of season Geno Smith has had. Geno Smith's last 3 games: 36 of 72 for 377 yards, 0 TDs, 5 INTs. Geno isn't having good game/bad game. He's having bad game, bad game, bad game. I think we can say that's not the type of season Manuel has had thus far.

So you might want to wait until sometime in December before gloating. To your point, EJ and Geno both have "2:1" ratios pertaining to their INTs and TDs. Unfortunatley for Geno, his is upside down.
26CornerBlitz Posted November 17, 2013 Author Posted November 17, 2013 (edited) Bills and EJ Manuel bounce back in impressive fashion Bills and EJ Manuel bounce back in impressive fashion Howard Simon howard@wgr550.com I couldn't have scripted it any better. The Bills bounce back from their worst game of the season with a dominating win over a division rival and one that has beaten them up pretty good in recent seasons. Rookie QB EJ Manuel responds to his worst game of the season with a very strong day, throwing the ball with accuracy and hitting plays down field. Edited November 17, 2013 by 26CornerBlitz
enlightener Posted November 17, 2013 Posted November 17, 2013 EJ still threw the "out" all day long until he hit tj and the Goodwin on some long ones, those 2 were nice but that's exactly what Edwards used to do, throw short all day and then sneak a go route in for a TD here or there. WHERE are the intermediate routes? he threw none today, he looks like crap to me actually. why should I feel better about him exactly? tuel hit Goodwin for the same exact td the other week.
TSOL Posted November 17, 2013 Posted November 17, 2013 So how does the draft look this year for offensive linemen
26CornerBlitz Posted November 17, 2013 Author Posted November 17, 2013 Sideline Reactions: Bills 37 - Jets 14 By Joe Buscaglia JoeB@wgr550.com Manuel bounces back In his first game back in over a month, EJ Manuel was not effective against Pittsburgh until the game didn't matter any longer. He was missing passes that he should always hit, and the offense had their worst performance of the season. Fast forward to Sunday, a game against the Jets with swirling winds, Manuel had a quality performance against a defense that has played quite well as of late. The rookie quarterback was hitting on the intermediate throws that plagued him against the Steelers, finding his targets on comeback routes, slants and out routes with well-placed passes. Even just after one week, the buzzards were circling Manuel following the Pittsburgh game despite rookie seasons being notorious for their peaks and valleys. However, Manuel answered back with a strong throw down the field to Marquise Goodwin for a touchdown right after another deep ball completed to T.J. Graham. Did he make some mistakes? Sure. Did he in anyway jeopardize the Bills from coming away with the victory? Not even in the slightest. Now it's on Manuel to pick up victories against three teams that have a 5-25 combined record on the year.
John in Jax Posted November 17, 2013 Posted November 17, 2013 did you see the jets bash drew brees's face in last week? it was definitely a good game from EJ vs a tough defense For whatever reason, the Jets play hot and cold week to week. They have gone W/L/W/L/W/L etc. all year long. They beat the Patriots then came back the very next week and lost by FORTY to the Bengals. Then they came back the week after taking that 40 point beatdown to win vs. Saints. Sssssoooo, this was their week for a loss. Look it up...tis true. LOL
eball Posted November 17, 2013 Posted November 17, 2013 A horrid game last week, a good game this week for EJ...That's about the same sort of season Geno Smith has had. So you might want to wait until sometime in December before gloating. EJ's supposedly "horrid" game last week wasn't even close to 3-4 Geno performances this year.
