    Can EJ win games?

    I think most would agree the Bills will have a GOOD defense.

    So, how many points per game does EJ & the offense have to put up for the Bills to make the playoffs?

    I think that number is 21 & I expect EJ to do that & the Bills to make the playoffs..................if EJ can stay healthy.

      I think the Bills will give up fewer points next year by stopping the run.

        can he? He already did vs. the panthers. Whether he can do it on a consistent basis is another question.

        Gil Brandt, likened EJ to Cam Newton both coming out of college. He didn't think EJ would be as good as Cam but that all depends on how EJ is developed by the coaches.

        I think the bills did the right thing by hiring a qb coach. Whether Downing is the right one is another question.

          He should have won that Atlanta game too but the pass catchers betrayed him. He can do enough to win games in a complete team effort, but I think we can forget about him carrying the team on his back to win.

            We kept games close last season. There were only a small handful uncompetitive blowouts.

            We're not that far off from turning this thing around. But at this point it hinges solely on EJ Manuel. Either we have a QB and we win, or we don't have a QB and we lose.

            If EJ stays healthy, protects the football, and improves his touch on the deep ball, we can win. We have enough talent on D to keep games close and thus make things more manageable from EJ's point of view on offense.

            The biggest obstacle is his health.

            And after three injuries to the same knee in 6 months, I'm very pessimistic about his chances of making it a full 16. That's a bad pattern.

              He had that game won twice

                  dont forget that right after nathan pimple face hackett hired downing marrone went and hired former qb/wr coach/oc jim hostler and plunked him down right in the middle of the offense reporting directly to marrone himself

                  so really theres a qb coach and a qb coach mother superior with a big fat ruler in da house

                    i really believe ej will flourish this year. he had mixed results typical of almost any rookie, but i think hes got all the essentials: physical tools, the demeanor, the brains, and now the dedicated coaching

                    remember you heard it here first: we will see a completely different englebert jebediah manuel this season

                      yup. I am most intrigued by Hostler out of everyone we hired.

                          With a good QB we were a playoff team.

                            IF, and its a big IF, EJ can stay healthy and work on his accuracy a bit, then I think that assuming the D can -- and damn it seems like I've been saying this for over a decade now -- force 3 and outs and stop the run then I think this team can get to the post season. What I am tired of is stupid football where the players don't keep their assignments and fumble away games. If we get swept by the Pats no problem, but losing year in and year out to Buc, Falcon, and Jag type teams has got to stop.

                              Can he win games? Yes he can. Will he get you to the playoffs? Nope.
