Augie Posted August 17, 2014 Posted August 17, 2014 Tackle saving touchdown? That made me laugh too! These guys suck, but it is pre-season. Maybe they'll learn to talk in the next few weeks. Different people learn at different rates.
The Wiz Posted August 17, 2014 Posted August 17, 2014 Piano on the back got him at the end. The fact he tried to juke someone was fun to watch.
Kemp Posted August 17, 2014 Posted August 17, 2014 You've got the wrong guy. I'm all for holding the team accountable and I'll lay into them when they deserve it. But melting down over a pre-season practice game isn't worth the energy that much emotion requires. People also need to get over their hopes that Manuel is a finished product. He's started 10 real games and played in a handful of pre-season games yet people think he's going to look like a polished pro. The guy is going to struggle - and struggle a lot. It's up to the coaching staff to put him into positions where he can succeed. In pre-season games they're not looking to do that, they're looking to get work in. As I said upstream, they will not have him chucking the ball around 27 times a half in the regular season. They won't be lining up in shotgun formations on 4th and 1. They'll protect him. But go ahead and get all depressed over some practice. If people want something to be demoralized about it's not the QB - it's the D. That unit needs to carry the Bills this year along with a strong running game. It's what the entire organization is counting on. Nobody is counting on the QB to be the center piece of this team. If your qb isn't the center piece of your team, you are doomed.
Solomon Grundy Posted August 17, 2014 Posted August 17, 2014 I'm gonna nickname EJ Manuel " OBAMA"! Even when he does good, he still gets no credit!
Augie Posted August 17, 2014 Posted August 17, 2014 Trent Edwards learned an important lesson about reaching out with that football.
TakeYouToTasker Posted August 17, 2014 Posted August 17, 2014 (edited) I'm gonna nickname EJ Manuel " OBAMA"! Even when he does good, he still gets no credit! You mean he's going to blame Fitzpatrick for all of his own interceptions, and take credit for defensive and special teams touchdowns? Edited August 17, 2014 by TakeYouToTasker
Wayne Cubed Posted August 17, 2014 Posted August 17, 2014 You wanna see a poor pre season game watch the Giants/Colts. Eli Manning 1/6 for 6 yards.
MDH Posted August 17, 2014 Posted August 17, 2014 If your qb isn't the center piece of your team, you are doomed. Like the Seahawks? They did exactly what I outlined and were good enough on D and with the running game to protect Wilson. It's what you do with young QBs. There are a few guys per decade who are good enough coming into the league to be the cog that makes everything go on a winning team. It takes time, but hey, you don't want to hear that. You want what you want and you want it now!
Over 29 years of fanhood Posted August 17, 2014 Posted August 17, 2014 I'm gonna nickname EJ Manuel " OBAMA"! Even when he does good, he still gets no credit! Please don't. We need our QB to be a leader, not just blame the other half of the team.
SmokinES3 Posted August 17, 2014 Posted August 17, 2014 You mean he's going to blame Fitzpatrick for all of his own interceptions, and take credit for defensive and special teams touchdowns? Ha! Good stuff!
Meark Posted August 17, 2014 Posted August 17, 2014 People saying how they play in these games doesn't matter have been saying that for 14 54 years now. "FIXED"
BuffaloBaumer Posted August 17, 2014 Posted August 17, 2014 If your qb isn't the center piece of your team, you are doomed. yup, if your qb is not the centerpiece, you are either the 85 bears or dilfer Ravens
Wayne Cubed Posted August 17, 2014 Posted August 17, 2014 If your qb isn't the center piece of your team, you are doomed. The 2013 Seattle Seahawks say hello
26CornerBlitz Posted August 17, 2014 Posted August 17, 2014 Judging the Bills before the season begins in earnest with #1s in for the entire game is simply ludicrous IMO. We'll know soon enough what this team is.
Big C Posted August 17, 2014 Posted August 17, 2014 Lets wait until after next week's "dress rehearsal" to freak out.
YoloinOhio Posted August 17, 2014 Author Posted August 17, 2014 Fat guy fumble returns are the best! Any news on Sammy? Heard he was being looked at by trainers...
