Flashback EJ manual comeback drive

[Einstein]

I was in the corner endzone where Stevie scored. My friend, a Panthers fan, was kicked in the head right after Stevie caught the ball. Hurt him pretty good. As we are leaving the game he turned to me and said “I wonder what would have happened to me had the Panthers won!”.

 

Rewatching that drive makes me question what we were all thinking when we thought EJ Manuel had arrived. He had one good play that drive and was bailed out three times. Once by Fred dropping the ball and another time by the ref. He also threw a pass behind Spilled that was deflected and almost INT’ed.

Winston won the national championship with essentially the same FSU team once EJ left. Hate Whaley, Hate Brandon, Hate Manuel, Marrone and Hackett . . . . .thanks for the walk down crappy football, coaching and managment lane!

You seem like foruming comes before football 😂

Watching the game that day was rather dull until the end and it was fun to watch their reactions counter to the Bills reactions.

i was at the game but then was thinking who was coaching there and realized the DC was McDermott and thought it was interesting 

 

This drive looked sluggish and unimpressive... until it won the game.

All set up by Ron Rivera deciding to kick a field goal on 4th and 1 to put the Panthers ahead by 6 with less than a minute left.

OMG - if you were to substitute Sean McDermott name for Ron River’s, it would….still……be……

That's fair.  When the games lack entertainment, the internet provides other forms.

Was at the game with 2 of my brothers.  Best seats I ever had at the stadium.  50-yard line, Section 134, Row 20.

It was a lot of fun, but nothing compared to now.

Yeah, not sure he makes it elsewhere either...but just saying he was for sure not going to here.  We provided the worst case scenario for him, not sure I have ever seen a drafted QB as mishandled and managed as he was here.  

Josh has a case?

 

Drafted to sit, but starts second half of week 1.

 

Backup is known bad QB Nate Peterman (who is not an NFL vet)

 

One of the least talented team in the franchises’ history

 

Pairing him with an OC with a not great track record at best

 

Scrambling to pull an actual NFL vet off the couch in October in Derek Anderson

We have Josh Allen. Time to let him go 🙏🏾

Thank God!!!!

The EJ love on this board remains strong .  He was terrible .  No amount of coaching would have changed his headless chicken running style and extreme lack of pocket presence.

I remember getting very excited in some of his later games, telling people, "Look how much better he is getting!  The balls are now in the vicinity of the receivers! This means soon he may be able to get it even closer!"

 

Nope.

 

Homer, rose colored glasses, yup.
