i dont think anyone really disagrees with you here but i could be wrong. He may have a few good years left in him and is in no way "the savior." The point id like to bring up though is that he MIGHT be the first qb to bring us to the playoffs in 14 years, you cant discount that. Then it begs the question, if we go 10-6 or even 11-5 this year how can you get rid of him afterwards. You cant.

We're 2 spots out of a playoff spot with KC holding onto the last on right now. We don't win Sunday, season is over.

We have to make it first.

If we do, than build on it. If not we have to get someone else pretty fast.

as a bills fan i know this too well. In my opinion, we need to draft an offensive line and then again an offensive line. The only two solid guys we have are cordy glenn and eric wood.

I hope Ej makes progress while learning from a veteran and i am pulling for him to succeed but i want whoever gives us the best chance of winning in there. It doesnt matter if we draft the next peyton manning, if he doesnt have a line hes going to have a long season and short career

New England would never sit their starters.... Especially not against us
- sbroads24


Depends on their record at the time. They found their groove they could win their next 6 games and have the first seed locked up...they would probably play the first half and sit regardless of the score.

The Bills I know would still choke away the game though

I think Foles is more a product of the system I would rather develop my own guy.

I do like Orton's composure though that's for sure.

- Stripes77

I like Orton and thought he got a bad deal in Denver but the "pressure" of starting Tebow hurt him IMO.

EJ is not a starting QB in the NFL and it's about time the Bills figured it out.

That's not how Belicheck rolls.

He was quoted once saying he never lets his players heads get too big and sitting out a game could do that or some BS

We have 6 hard games and 2 easy ones. We have to go 6-2 to make playoffs IMO. Its a serious uphill battle.

If it comes down to a not 100% healthy Tom Brady at age 37 playing in a meaningless game the last week of the season and really the hoodies last chance to win it all I would think he sits Brady. All of the other starters could play even though Bionic Arm Gronk will probably be on the sidelines with an injury as well and the typical Bills would still lose.

Brady isn't going to be around forever and if they do win the next 6 there isn't a doubt in my head any coach would put Brady on the bench to get ready for the playoffs.

I would be happy if they played them, even if we lost, if we I injured Gronk or Brady.

I know this is the whole "you never know what would have happened" thing but that loss in houston kills me. We should be 6-2 right now if not for that ridiculously stupid pick 6 by ej. I think the next 4 are winnable, the jets and the raiders (later on) should be easy wins. The chiefs are the toughest but were at home, the browns havent looked that great and we have had miami's number. Broncos loss, Pats loss, for some reason i feel good about he packers game and think our defense can hold up against them but that one could go either way

The season is pretty much up to these next 2 games.

Chief-W
Dolphins-L
Jets-W
Browns-W
Broncos-L
Packers-L
Raiders-W
Pats-L

9-7 we miss the playoffs. I think 10-6 gets us in the playoffs if we win the next 4 but 11-5 would guarantee it, I just don't see us winning 6 more games

I would like to beat Brady in Gillette so bad, I don't want to beat a second string Pats team to get in the playoffs, I know its been since 99 but I want to earn the playoffs not get them handed to us

IMO we need to beat the Packers at home.

You have to win one of those tough ones to be in the post season

I could see us beating the Packers I don't think they have anyone that can cover Sammy. But I can't remember the last time the Billd beat an Elite QB

Would should be 4-4 right now if the Lions could hire a kicker who could kick indoors.

The Houston game hurts, but like the last 13 years it really boils down to not being able to beat New England and the fact that they are running away with the division. AGAIN.
