The Wiz Posted October 22, 2015 Posted October 22, 2015 Although illegal there I hear it is easy to get. I hope waits till after the big game.Otherwise his eyes will be even slower.
JESSEFEFFER Posted October 22, 2015 Posted October 22, 2015 (edited) EJ has now compiled a TQBR of 50+ in 9 of his 15 starts. This is actually a high success rate of competent play. Most QBs with his level of experience do not break 50%. Edited October 22, 2015 by JESSEFEFFER
NoSaint Posted October 22, 2015 Posted October 22, 2015 I think the offense is going to struggle mightily in this game. I expect Gus Bradley to copy Cincinnati's model for defense once Sammy exited the game: double Woods, play interior zone against Clay, and make EJ beat you by getting the ball to Hogan/Gragg/Moore, who will have 1-on-1 match-ups. Rush 4 and sit back. They'll expect to snuff Buffalo's run game, given that they're allowing only 3.4 YPC, which is 1st in the NFL. If I were Buffalo, I'd have a game plan in place that relies heavily on throws to TEs and RBs out of the backfield; not screens mind you, quick throws on circle routes, angle routes, etc. Make Jacksonville's bigger, slower LBs keep up with Shady and Boom in the pass game. Force them to back off and/or widen their LBs and then run the ball. It's probably their only chance, unless EJ somehow morphs into the kind of QB that can beat a defense with his arm, without any help from his targets; that's asking a lot from any QB not named Brady or Rodgers. Always great contributions
John from Riverside Posted October 22, 2015 Posted October 22, 2015 Oh come on! There a ton of people who believe that Marrone "ruined" a young EJ just by whispering the words "don't mess up" to him and by fixing on him with some sort of evil glare. What if Marrone catches EJ's eye and fixes that glare on him, and mouths those words? I see trouble.... Yeah trouble as in EJ might accidentally hit Marrone in the nuts with the football Lets not forget here.....there might be a bit of motivation for EJ to beat the jags as well
NOVABillsFan Posted October 22, 2015 Posted October 22, 2015 Yeah trouble as in EJ might accidentally hit Marrone in the nuts with the football Lets not forget here.....there might be a bit of motivation for EJ to beat the jags as well Why else would he throw the pass into the tent during practice sessions in camp!!!! PRACTICE!!!
TheFunPolice Posted October 22, 2015 Posted October 22, 2015 (edited) Tyrod's backup's motivation is to not be unemployed and out of the league a year from now. If Tyrod's backup isn't the established starter after this season he won't be here. No point. Ironically, if he has a great game and the Bills win he might be helping his old pal St. Doug become a head coach again, as the whispers are already starting about Gus Bradley (which is probably exactly why Marrone chose to go there).

FireChan Posted October 22, 2015 Posted October 22, 2015 Heads would explode if Douggernaut's O-line had a game like the Bengals'.

He's on the Philbin Express...
prissythecat Posted October 22, 2015 Posted October 22, 2015 Heads would explode if Douggernaut's O-line had a game like the Bengals'. And imagine if Blake Bortles has a game for the ages with Nate Hackett as his QB coach.
TheFunPolice Posted October 22, 2015 Posted October 22, 2015 I think people will be surprised at how tough the Jaguars are. Tyrod's backup will keep the game close. How quickly we forget that Tyrod made a LOT of plays in the Miami game to blow that thing open.

This "endless debate" you seem to dread doesn't appear to be happening...anywhere.

Maybe I'm wrong and there is no issue and we won't be hearing about EJ suddenly "having momentum" as the starter for this season. I hope so. I hope you are right, believe me. I'm still recovering from a combination of 15 freaking years of no playoffs AND watching New England look unstoppable pretty much always and forever. "EJ starting this week" + "Harvin considering retirement" + "Brady (who looks unstoppable) saying he wants to play 10 more years" has made for a pretty lousy day in my world.

Brady wants to play 10 years; I want perpetual bacon to be a real thing. We don't always get what we want. Want some good news? There's nothing to fear. You know what happens if this team isn't good? Nothing. We lose. We already know how to handle that; we'll be fine. You know what happens if this team plays to its potential?

BuffaloHokie13 Posted October 22, 2015 Posted October 22, 2015 whispers? He's on the Philbin Express... So EJ and Philbin to New Orleans, book it?

I was probably the most excited person around when Rex was hired. I was 100% CONVINCED that he would make this team into a powerhouse. That's my fault, I grant you that. And it still could happen. I'm just frustrated and today was a crappy news day.

Ratliff had an animated exchange with GM Ryan Pace outside. Or the Chargers - who have players calling each other out on a daily basis

Bottomless supplies of bacon, perhaps. Perpetual? I do not think that word means what you think it means.
