purple haze Posted August 27, 2016 Posted August 27, 2016 Being a great dude and a good teammate does not make one a good NFL quarterback. And who ever said that a backup NFL quarterback has to be mediocre. For instance, look at the Redskins roster. I'd take Colt McCoy in a heartbeat over EJ. Why? Their stats are similar in terms of completion percentage, passing yards per attempt, passing yards per game and QB rating. McCoy is no great shakes either. Like EJ he has proven it over the course of his career. He is just as mediocre.
Prickly Pete Posted August 27, 2016 Posted August 27, 2016 I didn't see the game, did Robert Woods contribute?
34-78-83 Posted August 27, 2016 Posted August 27, 2016 Gragg was far and away our best #2 TE that really sucks!
ExWNYer Posted August 27, 2016 Posted August 27, 2016 I didn't see the game, did Robert Woods contribute? He dropped a 1st quarter TD from Tyrod after being mugged by the D...but no pass interference was called. Just one of the many butchered calls by Ed Hoculi and his band of criminals.
Nitro Posted August 27, 2016 Posted August 27, 2016 Wow. He was really starting to impress. And Hall's been a POS for a long time. His hit on Powell might have been even worse. If I was the coach, and it's probably good I'm not, I would have had someone on my team take him out. I like your thinking.
ALF Posted August 27, 2016 Posted August 27, 2016 EJ is making progress as a good back up. The OL he had was the problem . This game was painful to watch, and poor ref calls but gave experience to the 2nd string and evaluation for making the roster.
mrags Posted August 27, 2016 Posted August 27, 2016 Sucks about Gragg. He was looking decent this preseason. I heard Seymour was also injured. Anyone have any info on that?
Deranged Rhino Posted August 27, 2016 Posted August 27, 2016 Gragg was far and away our best #2 TE that really sucks! It does. He was on the verge of the proverbial "taking a step" in his career, and to have it snuffed out on a play like that? Totally sucks. I heard Seymour was also injured. Anyone have any info on that? Rex said it was a hamstring in the press conference.
Buffalo Barbarian Posted August 27, 2016 Posted August 27, 2016 I don't disagree with his but he was under pressure. All Sammy makes a catch Dez misses and doesn't get called for PI like Little does. probably but his throws were behind guys, high or low with WRs constantly making adjustments. That PI was terrible, just plain horrible reffing tonight.

Rex said it was a hamstring in the press conference. thanks. I wasn't able to watch or even listen to most of the game. I hope he'll be ok because he's looking like he could progress to being pretty good. Sounds like he can't tackle well but has good coverage. Really sucks bad about Gragg. He was looking good and like he was going to take the next step this season. He got boned by a dirty as hell play. A similar play earlier in the game we had a would be sack but called back for a roughing the passer call. It's BS really. I hope Rex and Doug get some guys from Kettles the day before the next preseason game to suit up because it would suck to lose anyone else.

I don't think I've ever been sober before entering there.
Marty McFly Posted August 27, 2016 Posted August 27, 2016 I know it's a meaningless game but why on earth throw short there? Also scratched my head at that throw. Really hope Powell didn't get too dinged up on that last play, he was helped into the locker room. I liked how JWill played tonight. He's fun to watch. I also peeped that. We got a gem with J Will in a year or 2 he gonna be sick
ExWNYer Posted August 27, 2016 Posted August 27, 2016 For those who couldn't catch the game live, looks like it's being re-broadcast on NFLN this Monday, 8/29, at 1:00 PM.
Maury Ballstein Posted August 27, 2016 Posted August 27, 2016 Also scratched my head at that throw. I also peeped that. We got a gem with J Will in a year or 2 he gonna be sick Dealer Doug is accountable
Marty McFly Posted August 27, 2016 Posted August 27, 2016 That's what I was thinking. He should have just thrown a td instead of that dying duck I mean those 43 cb's in the end zone should be easy to beat Listen that shoulda never happened cuz if he woulda bulleted that pass to Little the force alone would have stopped Little from pushing off. Obviously this EJ guy has no idea wat his doing Welp, we won this one but the refs took it away. Oh well. Its good for us. Now the players remember that last year we never had a major call go our way. And we consistently managed to give away late or game winning scores on phantom calls.
mrags Posted August 27, 2016 Posted August 27, 2016 Kettles? its a local bar about 1/4 mile from the stadium
Solomon Grundy Posted August 27, 2016 Posted August 27, 2016 I'm not the biggest EJ fan out there but anyone criticizing his play tonight is a moron. Thank you GG!!!
Bubba Gump Posted August 27, 2016 Posted August 27, 2016 Look, I said I agreed it was a problem last year. There was a learning curve applied to year one, IMO. I want to see if it's a problem in the regular season this year. If it is, then it's a big problem and probably an organizational issue. I want to see if year two under this regime is any different before I condemn them as having a problem with penalties. I don't care about what the scrubs are doing in a meaningless game. You do. So be it. I neither disagree with you entirely nor agree with you entirely. I hope we can call a truce at this point. Truce called, I'm not here to argue with fellow Bills fans. But.....my point is, which I failed to mention earlier, is that there are 31 other teams with just as many rookies and scrap heap players, that are less penalized than the Bills since Rex took over in Buffalo. Like you said, let's wait til the bullets fly for real. And for Rex's sake, I truly hope they cut down on the penalties.
