    For those of you that bought into this crap about "saving Manuel"

    What about saving Watkins instead of rushing him back in for a meaningless game against a team that didn't even send some of its 1st-team players to the game.

    That would have made a million times more sense than saving Manuel.

    If anything, they can save Manuel from us now by not playing him. Save us as fans. Watching him is going to be about as stimulating as watching Edwards or Holcomb.

    Watkins could have had another 10 days and I'm sure he would have been fine, but NOOOOO!

    Has anyone drug tested the coaching staff recently?

It's a protection mechanism.

    You shroud your childish approach in a vale of pompous, intellectual garbage in an attempt to look smart and "real". You over-analyze even minute points and manipulate statistics to fit your negative view of the team. Again, to feel good about yourself and to protect from getting hurt.

    Of course, the criticisms are obviously from someone who has no understanding of the team concept or what it takes to excel at athletics.

    The true "realist" understands that they have no control of what happens on the field or behind the closed doors at One Bills' Drive, so they do the prudent thing for a spectator. They enjoy the games on Sunday with family and friends, cheer for their team and realize that it's just entertainment.

    "I was an integral part in the drafting process of EJ Manuel," Whaley said Thursday on NFL Network's Total Access. "I was the person that handled the draft process and setting up the board."

    "We are committed. I want you to believe me when I say that," Whaley said of building around the second-year quarterback, per The Buffalo News. "I always tell you guys that I'll never say never because I don't want to paint myself in a corner, but when I do say something, I do it and I mean it and I try to fulfill it."

    "We believe the addition of Sammy is going to be instant impact, not only to our quarterback, but to what our offensive coordinator can come up with game-plan wise and how defenses attack us," Whaley said.

    Whaley on EJ Manuel: "We think we got a gem in this guy." (2:30)

    "And as Mark says, if in three years maybe he's not [our quarterback of the future], then I'll be sitting there saying 'hey guys', .... anybody got a job for me?" - Doug Whaley

    What choice do we have if we don't play EJ? We have Tuel and Palmer. Suck for Luck before the season even starts?

      I agree. There was no reason to play Watkins.

        I wouldn't say buying into crap. Folks kindly gave him the benefit of the doubt - truncated season, a team with other flaws, and so forth. As a fan, you can only play the cards dealt.

        Obviously, suiting up Watkins was dumb.

        There is no getting around the fact that the Bills have been a poor business organization for quite a time.
