Agree they need a QB for the long term, I just dont think thats EJ.

IMO, we could still contend for this division and attempt to develop EJ. Oh well, happy about the win. Watkins is legit.

Orton is 31 yrs old(will be 32 in a month).


He's not even close to being at an age for a long term plan.

Yeah, but is ZAc Dalphe going to make the opening night roster? These are the things that keep my up at night.

Dalpe has made it further than Adam did this preseason yet Adam beat him out for AHL ROY honors.


Quite the quagmire we have here.

We won , I'm happy . Only Buffalo fans can't be just happy with the win. I still feel the biggest problem is Hackett .

Why are fans bashing him still ? The Glue is the biggest factor for Buffalo fans.

He played well enough to score 17 points

The change needed to happen EJ can't cut it, I know some have a problem with that but he cant. The only other way is maybe canning Hackett and seeing what EJ can do after that but, a new OC can't make him throw better and think better.

Pegula needs a football guy to take over this team, until then it will be a hit and miss.

Watkins is on pace for 77 catches 900 yards and 6 TD's

ROY??

Hackett still needs to open up the playbook. Where was Mike Williams?

It was a gritty road win where the D only allowed 7 points, I can't wait until there is a game where the D and O are both firing on all cylinders.

There are game changers on both sides of the ball that's for sure.

It's great when you can get competant quaterback play. Go Bills. Orton will have his good games and his bad games but its better then average to crappy games from EJ

This.

They went in to Detroit and played a GUTSY (frank)ING GAME AGAINST A GOOD TEAM.

They are 3-2.

No one, NO ONE, on these boards would've thought they'd start like this.

I thought we could have been 3-2 but I would have thought we would have beaten Houston and lost to the Bears. I thought Detroit was a winnable game because lets face it they are Detroit just as much as we are the Bills.

It depends. He has more yards but a few less catches and also has Cam Newton throwing him passes. If Watkins and Orton connect like they did today Watkins could blow up. Most of his stats are in 2 games. Plus he isn't fully healthy.

It makes me have hope, which is dangerous

I usually agree with you . Yep he only scored 17 points . But Detroit only scored 14 . A win is a win . Sitting on the sidelines and watching should be good for EJ in the long run . He never should have been the starter last year in the first place . I still have hope that he is our long term solution at QB position.

Todays game proved Watkins is the #1 guy here too

They have the same amount of receptions Benjamin has more yards but its still early, not to mention Watkins still isn't 100%

A win is a win. EJ won the first 2 scoring 20+ in each game and people were still concerned (rightfully so)

Watkins had to make 2-3 circus catches on the last two scoring drives today.

I like what Orton did, but I didn't see this huge upgrade, he threw a pick 6, took some sacks and was inaccurate. Id rather develope EJ if the difference is this minimal
