26CornerBlitz Posted October 13, 2015 Posted October 13, 2015 to be fair, i didnt particularly want to see matt FN cassel either. at that point, it is what it is. Given a choice, I'd rather have M FN C.
BringBackFergy Posted October 13, 2015 Posted October 13, 2015 (edited) Shouldn't the !@#$er that horse collared TT be fined or suspended?? They committed a personal foul that resulted in our QB missing game(s). Also, do the refs give us more "benefit of the doubt" on close calls for roughing the passer? I mean, TT now jumps above Cam Newton on the "has earned the close calls" because he's been injured. Edited October 13, 2015 by BringBackFergy
YoloinOhio Posted October 13, 2015 Author Posted October 13, 2015 (edited) @MikeGarafolo: Give Cincy defensive staff credit for foresight. They had hunch Tyrod Taylor might sit Sun, so they started prep for EJ Manuel yesterday. Interesting - AJ Hawk said they have been dialed into TT. Btw the comments under that tweet are lit. No respect for EJ I guess. Edited October 13, 2015 by YoloinOhio
BillsFan-4-Ever Posted October 13, 2015 Posted October 13, 2015 fwiw AJ Hawk was just on the radio here talking about how they kind of caught a break with Russell Wilson and TT in back to back weeks because they are similar QBs. That was before the news broke. Sal Capaccio @SalSports Sorry. Should have typed "could miss," as @JasonLaCanfora reported for Taylor. Not "to miss." Nothing is certain as of now, Im told. wait what?? So he's not hurt and these past half dozen pages are all for naught?
jimmy10 Posted October 13, 2015 Posted October 13, 2015 (edited) Not 100% sure but I think it was most rushing yards by a QB. Pretty sure I saw a graphic somewhere that the Bills put up. I believe the previous record was 74 yds, shared by Flutie and Fitz. Tyrod had 76. EDIT: Here it is: https://twitter.com/buffalobills/status/653718045567746049 Edited October 13, 2015 by jimmy10
The Big Cat Posted October 13, 2015 Posted October 13, 2015 I have an idea: let's not send our starting QB out to get smashed in the !@#$ing knee trying to catch a pass when he's ALREADY banged up! Yeah! and WTF were they thinking having him throw the game winning TD pass on the next play!?

The Big Cat Posted October 13, 2015 Posted October 13, 2015 wait what?? So he's not hurt and these past half dozen pages are all for naught? He's hurt, but his status as "out" is purely conjecture.
billieve420 Posted October 13, 2015 Posted October 13, 2015 If Tyrod can't go and EJ has to step in. This will be the defining moment in EJ's career at home against a playoff contender.
theesir Posted October 13, 2015 Posted October 13, 2015 This sprained MCL has only been reported by Jason LaConfora. When an actual reputable insider corroborates I'll be concerned. Until then I'll just read this... http://www.cbssports.com/nfl/writer/jason-la-canfora/24934962/all-signs-pointing-to-doug-marrone-as-next-jets-coach
Chandler#81 Posted October 13, 2015 Posted October 13, 2015 they didn't trade him for a bag of magic beans they traded him for a draft pick next year. Something that quite honestly a journeyman veteran QB nearing retirement (also a veteran who has had a mediocre to bad career) is not worth. It is absolutely amazing that the Bills managed to get anything for a player who they had cut a week before and cleared waivers because NOBODY IN THE LEAGUE WANTED HIM! This was brilliantly played by Whaley and friends I'm sorry. a 2017 pick, actually. Heartbreaking news about Tyrod. Get well soon!!
WhitewalkerInPhilly Posted October 13, 2015 Posted October 13, 2015 Even if EJ is the starter next week, again, this isn't the first time Roman has had to switch out QBs and change the game plan. EJ has been compared to Alex Smith, so I see no reason why they can't go back into the drawer for those style of plays. Probably fewer devoted Read-Option runs, but a rollout or two and maybe some more shotgun.
BuffaloHokie13 Posted October 13, 2015 Posted October 13, 2015 Lets see If I get this rtght - EJ plays against an undefeated very hot Cincy team. If the Bills lose then EJ is the loser regardless. Same for the Jags.. If the Bills win then we hear that the Jags suck and that EJ should have won the game in his sleep. If he wins both then what? If he wins both then the Bills are 5-2 heading into the bye
blzrul Posted October 13, 2015 Posted October 13, 2015 Rex is just playing games. But all this personnel add/drop reminds me of my fantasy team. Sheesh.
Bleeding Bills Blue Posted October 13, 2015 Posted October 13, 2015 Next man up - EJ has had plenty of rep's and has only proved that he is inconsistent. I seriously doubt he does enough to win the job - but he should be able to do enough to win 1 of the next 2. Gotta keep the team ready to play, especially the London game. That one we can't afford to lose.
John from Riverside Posted October 13, 2015 Posted October 13, 2015 IMO.....EJ should start I have been trying hard to figure out WTF Roman has been holding TT in the pocket instead of letting Tyrod be Tyrod at the beginning of these games Now I understand Roman has been trying to protect his injured QB from potential taking hits as he is already hurt.....but late in the games when they HAVE to win the games they have let Tyrod be Tyrod especiallin the in the Titans game..... Just let EJ start the Bengals game...I have complete confidence in EJ Manuel. Heal up your starting QB for the strength of our schedule.
BuffaloBill Posted October 13, 2015 Posted October 13, 2015 If somebody links to a reliable source indicating EJ starts Sunday so be it. I find nothing to substantiate the claim as of yet.

LaCanfora has been batting less than .500 in his scoops. I wouldn't be so quick to change the thread title.

Given the way Roman was handling TT earlier in the game that play was a real head scratcher.....it actually had the feel of a play that TT audibled into in the huddle.... but that is a stretch
26CornerBlitz Posted October 13, 2015 Posted October 13, 2015 Exactly. LaCanfora has been batting less than .500 in his scoops. I wouldn't be so quick to change the thread title. The title should say Report until any of this is confirmed.
