jumbalaya Posted October 4, 2014 Posted October 4, 2014 the score will be 13 -10. the team with 13 will win.
Dragonborn10 Posted October 4, 2014 Posted October 4, 2014 if Orton can make the 3 or 4 completions that EJ couldn't - the ones that move the chains and keep drives alive - we win. i'm not sure how much more consistent Orton will play the position, but it won't be too big for him What about the WR drops?
Gugny Posted October 4, 2014 Posted October 4, 2014 What about the WR drops? Don't be silly. Those were EJ's fault, too!
TC in St. Louis Posted October 4, 2014 Posted October 4, 2014 I think Cyril Richardson will fall down on Suh, kick him in the sack, and Suh will go crazy and get thrown out of the game. After that, there will be holes for our running backs to run through. Then Nick Fairley will twist a knee trying to tackle CJ Spiller, and he'll be out too. Bills 56 Bears negative three. I mean Lions. Da Bills.
nucci Posted October 4, 2014 Posted October 4, 2014 A victory here would just be gravy. I'm fully expecting a loss. This is Orton's practice game ahead of the big New England clash next weekend. The best chance the Bills have in Detroit isn't Orton in my opinion...it's the D coming up huge and stuffing the Lions, taking the ball away a few times and maybe even scoring themselves. So they have to win on D, win the special teams battle and show some competence on O. If not it's a big L. Why?
filthymcnasty08 Posted October 4, 2014 Posted October 4, 2014 (edited) Not trying to start an EJ crusade or anything--I actually want Orton in right now--but this is not true. EJ has done this quite a few times this season. People should be more careful when using the words 'never' and 'always'. Do you think he shaded more towards always or never on the topic of throwing receivers open? That is... if he saw them to begin with. Edited October 4, 2014 by filthymcnasty08
mitchmurraydowntown Posted October 4, 2014 Author Posted October 4, 2014 Moneyline is +250, which is awesome for parlays.

Orton doesn't have to be great each week. He just needs to be competent. Bills have the D to keep games close. We'll see how that ( w/ Orton) goes over the next few weeks.
NewEra Posted October 4, 2014 Posted October 4, 2014 We had 3 takeaways & are near the top of the category, yet, we're 2-2. We had 3 takeaways last week, based on even decent QB this should of been a win. Why would we allow EJ to throw a majority of the time, especially after watch conservative ball in the first few games ? We only lost by 6 versus Houston, yet EJ was pulled ? Talk about a joke normally, guys don't losr their jobs losing close unless they themselves are the cause. They lose their jobs when it's obvious they suck right now. Which Ej does right now. Not saying forever....but right now....he sucks. Doesn't matter if the game is close
thewildrabbit Posted October 5, 2014 Posted October 5, 2014 I agree that the Bills aren't going to hold back...as that Lions D rips right thru them to the QB. If the Bills didn't want to run against the 27th ranked run defense of the Texans. Then what will they do against the #7th ranked run defense, and Detroit is the 5th ranked pass defense. I think I've read that they allowed only one TD pass so far this season. Anyway they are only allowing a league best 15.5 points a game.
mitchmurraydowntown Posted October 5, 2014 Author Posted October 5, 2014 We've been holding back? We've been held back at QB.
Sisyphean Bills Posted October 5, 2014 Posted October 5, 2014 Does the title of this thread mean that the offense was "holding back" and not really trying? Which resulted in EJ Manuel getting benched. So now, they are going to use the full playbook with the guy that's been with the team a month? Yikes.

You can use the whole playbook with ~10 year veteran, Orton's seen his fair share & shouldn't need a lot of coddling.
billstein22 Posted October 5, 2014 Posted October 5, 2014 Megatron not playing, or being hobbled, is a huge bonus. Detroit's defense is much improved, though, and that could be the difference. I don't think we're going to win in Detroit, but hopefully the Bills can prove the analysts wrong.
billsfanmd07 Posted October 5, 2014 Posted October 5, 2014 Over the past 15 years, there are very few games I felt 100% confident in a win. However, it seems there is always 1 game each year we pull an upset. The only reason I think we have a chance is our DC knows Stafford. We have not really stopped any good QBs as they seem to complete 80% of their passes against us.
