Tu-Toned Posted November 17, 2015 Posted November 17, 2015 Who will be Gruden's Grinder on MNF? He will pick at least one guy to gush about.You mean something like, in his best John Wayne voice, "that guy right here, is the toughest this and that that I haveever seen", then five minutes later he repeats it about another guy, or something like that! Cannot stomach!
stony Posted November 17, 2015 Posted November 17, 2015 were you literally or figuratively drunk? Curious - How many times did you tell Peter that EJ sucks? So your inside source was an inebriated Peter King who confirmed that Manuel was not part of the equation. Welp. How incorrect was he now that we are in week 11 Meh is gone, sucking it up big time in Big D and EJ is still the designated backup? It says the two guys who have their names above him on the website pulled rank. One picked TT as the starter, while the other traded MC. Doesn't make what he said incorrect.
Beerball Posted November 17, 2015 Posted November 17, 2015 Color me stupid for saying that Darby was my main concern on the defense heading into game 1.
PortlandiaEast Posted November 17, 2015 Posted November 17, 2015 Whats up with all the empty quotes? Did music get banned again?
Canadian Bills Fan Posted November 17, 2015 Posted November 17, 2015 Probably because he finally watched a Bills game. He usually spends most of his gushing on the Cheatriots. He's got the biggest man crush on the whole team. Thats Phil Simms CBF
GunnerBill Posted November 17, 2015 Posted November 17, 2015 Metz and BF4E turning a thread into a debate on EJ. How predictable.
MDH Posted November 17, 2015 Posted November 17, 2015 Didn't sound like gushing to me in regards to Watkins. Sounded like he was implying that Revis' skills might be diminishing.
iinii Posted November 17, 2015 Posted November 17, 2015 King is a blowhard. I prefer the cliff notes of his column.
stony Posted November 17, 2015 Posted November 17, 2015 King is a blowhard. I prefer the cliff notes of his column. Half of his column is bullet points.
Dorkington Posted November 17, 2015 Posted November 17, 2015 Ignoring the rest, I love that Darby is getting recognition, he's been absolutely outstanding for us, and incredible find. Good job Whaley.

How incorrect was he now that we are in week 11 Meh is gone, sucking it up big time in Big D and EJ is still the designated backup? No he told me this much earlier in the evening. I merely inquired about the Bills QB situation and that is what he told me. He told me very bluntly that he thought Cassel sucked and that he would soon be replaced by Taylor. Clearly, it happened sooner than he predicted. Now Cassel and Manuel are both backups. There is no vindication for EJ here. This isn't about EJ. Sorry man. Metz and BF4E turning a thread into a debate on EJ. How predictable. Ha I didn't say anything about EJ! There is nothing to debate on the guy. I entered this thread to defend Peter King, who I happen to think is a good writer. Me being typecast as someone who is "hating" on EJ. How predictable. You mean something like, in his best John Wayne voice, "that guy right here, is the toughest this and that that I have ever seen", then five minutes later he repeats it about another guy, or something like that! Cannot stomach! Well done. I can't either. Edited November 17, 2015 by metzelaars_lives

metzelaars_lives Posted November 17, 2015 Posted November 17, 2015 (edited) what did he say about Rex wanting to sign TT back in NJ? What in tarnation are you talking about? There is nothing here to debate. How do you feel about his take on Ron Darby? Do you like Peter King as a writer? That is the conversation here. No one was wrong about anything. Just because someone has a scoop doesn't mean things can't play out a different way a month later. I had heard that Cassel was the presumed starter and that Taylor was all the hype and would most likely seize the job at some point. It's exactly what I wrote on here the next day. That's exactly what happened, except it happened before the season started rather than a few weeks in, as he predicted. EJ Manuel was never a part of the equation to start. You can blame Whaley, Ryan, Peter King, Roman, me, the guys on the WGR afternoon drive show, it doesn't matter. It is what it is. Edited November 17, 2015 by metzelaars_lives
metzelaars_lives Posted November 17, 2015 Posted November 17, 2015 Metz, seriously, you are neck deep in contrived theories WTR EJ. Love the perceived notion that I am looking for vindication that EJ should be the starter. He's a backup. I accepted that 12 weeks ago when it was announced. What I will say WTR to vindication is that beyond when he was very bad in the early stages of the JAX game, and other that that 5 minutes has played OK. Contrived theories huh? Why don't you read my last post. Me: I never thought EJ was very good, I don't think he's going to win the job, I had heard he's not in the equation to start. Other people: There is a bias against EJ, people are just hating on EJ, he should've won the job, he got screwed, etc. Now who has the contrived theories? God why are we talking about freaking EJ?
BillsFan-4-Ever Posted November 17, 2015 Posted November 17, 2015 (edited) Metz and BF4E turning a thread into a debate on EJ. How predictable. Thank you for your valued input on my 1 post in this thread at the time that you made your post. My apologies that the sarcasm didn't show through as obvious. Edited November 17, 2015 by BillsFan-4-Ever
metzelaars_lives Posted November 17, 2015 Posted November 17, 2015 My point - It has been stated during the NFL broadcasts that Rex while HC of the JETS wanted to get Tyrod. I would hope the HC has power over the OC as to the QB will be. My point - EJ is still on the team as the backup You sir are going on IGNORE Thank you for your valued input on my 1 post in this thread at the time that you made your post. My apologies that the sarcasm didn't show through as obvious. Turned out he did. Although my suspicion is that Roman had come around to the idea of Taylor starting as well. Yes, EJ Manuel is the Bills backup. That is correct.
GunnerBill Posted November 17, 2015 Posted November 17, 2015 Guys I think you are both valuable posters but you need to stop rehashing the EJ argument in every thread. The rest of us are bored with it.

The rest of us are bored with it. So am I. In fact, it would seem to me that there is nothing left to argue. I even resisted a very tempting 'I told you so' campaign. I myself have moved on.

BillsFan-4-Ever Posted November 17, 2015 Posted November 17, 2015 Guys I think you are both valuable posters but you need to stop rehashing the EJ argument in every thread. The rest of us are bored with it. I cleaned up my posts. I apologize for the interruption.
Nanker Posted November 17, 2015 Posted November 17, 2015 Color me stupid for saying that Darby was my main concern on the defense heading into game 1. This could be of use.
