    Manuel Now A Maybe For Pats

    ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. -- A week after saying that he was "110 percent confident" that quarterback EJ Manuel would play Sunday against the New England Patriots, coach Doug Marrone was less certain about Manuel's status Monday.

      You have to wonder is Marrone making NE prep for both Thad an EJ. They certainly are similar but they also do things a bit differently as well.

      I'm impartial at this point. Both of these QBs intrigue me. I want to see either of them just bust out of the gates against the Pats seperating themselves in the competition that seems to be steadily evolving.

      Still, I hope EJ is the guy. He has been my choice since before the draft. And his performance against NE in week 1 wasn't disappointing.

        I hope EJ is healthy enough to play. This is a game NE needs. It's a great learning opportunity for EJ

            EJ needs this game. Pats still have something to play for and it's in their house. Hopefully someday soon we will be in a position where it matters for us too, and he needs to know what the hostile environment feels like.

              Roflmao, yes Marrone is ensuring belichek has to prep for a so-so first round or an undrafted QB, classic post! I'm sure belichek is waking in the middle of the night in cold sweats wondering how to stop these two, can you blame him :)

                We're #1 in sacks so prepare for quick outs & screens by the gross.

                  Last time I checked good teams, good coaches and players study film - do they not? Regardless the level of talent from the player in question, the opposing team still has to put in the work. Not revealing the starter forces the Pats to look at twice the film.

                  So instead of just being a full flegded D I C K, perhaps next time you could consider the legitimacy of the comment.

                    This is out of character for Marrone. Through most of the season, he's pretty much let the cat out of the bag re who his qb starter would be.

                      thats because he is backtracking on his 110% comment. I doubt EJ plays at all. No sense risking injury for a meaningless game

                        I can guarantee you he's forced to break down film on both QB's. Worried about stopping them is one thing, but there is no way a control freak like Belicheck would be able to just not watch tape on both.

                          I fear the opposite...I think NE is going to try to run the ball down our defense's throat all day long.

                            And hopefully the Bills play the run as well as they did against the Fins.

                              Bills don't have a chance to win if Manuel starts.
