dollars 2 donuts Posted September 12, 2014 Posted September 12, 2014 (edited) I think there a lot of things going in the Bills favor this weekend. Additionally, one thing that may be overlooked is that EJ, in four home games at the Ralph is 3-1, completing 75 of 116 (64.6%) for 858 yards, with 6 TDs and 3 picks and passer rating of 93.2. Edit: Again, I reference "at the Ralph". I exclude the home game in Toronto. Additionally, the 2013 combined record of the four teams they played is 40-24. UPDATE: 4-1 at home, 91 OF 142 (64%) FOR 1,060, WITH 7 TDs and 3 picks and a "Ralph" passer rating of 94.2. He is 6-6 as a starter, 6-5 as a starter in games he has finished, and has won 4 straight.

Dean Cain Posted September 12, 2014 Posted September 12, 2014 (edited) Yes and EJ has won his last 3 home games in Buffalo, and last 2 road games. I think this EJ guy has a bright future. EJ is 5-0 when his Yards Per Attempt are 7.59 or higher. EJ is 0-6 when his Yards Per Attempt are 6.56 or lower. His highest losing game is Atlanta 6.56. A game that we should have won.

Mooshocker Posted September 12, 2014 Posted September 12, 2014 EJ Manuel is going to be an excellent NFL QB, represtantive of the Buffalo Bills and driving force in our return to respectibility! He learned this off season that he doesn't have to be the perfect QB. He shouldn't try to be CK, RW, DB, PM or any other "franchise QB". He only needs to be the best EJ he can. Excentuate his strengths, minimize his weaknesses and manage the clock, the cadence and the offense as a whole. Trent Dilfer proved effective working within this plan, allowing his defense to tempo the outcome of the game. EJ will develop and mature into a reliable, trustworthy field general. That's all we need from him.......consistantly, week in and week out!
jaybee Posted September 12, 2014 Posted September 12, 2014 I like that there nugget, Dollars to donuts. Thanks. I am so stoked for this game. We as fans just need to keep a level head. Our team is totally capable of winning Sunday. There are a few intangibles in our favor as well. But we've been thru this. Lets keep a level head. Just my opinion. Having said that, there is no way I will have a voice left Monday morning if we do what we are totally capable of doing. Good execution, low turnovers, efficient game management at the QB position, effective running game and fly around defense. This team is capable of all of that and even if they are effective at only 60% of it we head out of there with a gigantic win. Its early but this is a Mack-truck sized game. A must win game. Division opponent at home. Huge. I know damn well this team is capable of it. And please...NO INJURIES for either team. It hurts me to see guys get hurt regardless of what team they play for. Stay healthy boys and give it the best you got and may the best team win. That'd be Buffalo ! LOL !

They want to run we want to run. They can run we can run. Trenches game.. stoked
CountryCletus Posted September 13, 2014 Posted September 13, 2014 Mack Truck game ! patent that. I am thinking that is pretty near the size of it. They want to run we want to run. They can run we can run. Trenches game.. stoked They haven't tried to run on THIS defense!!!
3rdand12 Posted September 13, 2014 Posted September 13, 2014 They haven't tried to run on THIS defense!!! But they will Country. They will
Max997 Posted September 13, 2014 Posted September 13, 2014 The Bills in General have been a much better team at home as most teams are but difference for this team at home vs road over last decade plus has been pretty dramatic
The Big Cat Posted September 13, 2014 Posted September 13, 2014 He also has 3 game winning drives in 11 starts. Could have been 4 if not for Toronto.
CountryCletus Posted September 13, 2014 Posted September 13, 2014 But they will Country. They will Try they will, but I don't see them eclipsing 120 yards on the ground... I also don't see one of their RB's reaching the century mark
Maury Ballstein Posted September 13, 2014 Posted September 13, 2014 But EJ sucks and any of you who still defend him don't know football. And Jordan Palmer has better footwork. #preseasonofthehaters
sodbuster Posted September 13, 2014 Posted September 13, 2014 He also has 3 game winning drives in 11 starts. Could have been 4 if not for Toronto. He had three before the Chicago game, if I'm not mistaken. So now I think its four.
3rdand12 Posted September 13, 2014 Posted September 13, 2014 (edited) Try they will, but I don't see them eclipsing 120 yards on the ground... I also don't see one of their RB's reaching the century mark I expect Preston Brown to come out smarter . Even if he is playing a different LB postion .Any thoughts on moving Lawson around as a hybrid DE/OLB ? Your thoughts about yardage on the ground sounds about right . I think they might have to get creative to move the ball on the Bills.We can already bet they will be up tempo ala Chip Kelly ish Edited September 13, 2014 by 3rdand12
John from Riverside Posted September 13, 2014 Posted September 13, 2014 this is gonna be a slobberknocker of a game.....two physical teams pounding the ball If EJ can find a way to get 2 scores by his arm.......we will win this
