    Manuel gives us nothing, except a high completion percentage apparently, which by last week's opinated horde we were enlightened was something important. I guess that fact that Manuel doesn't know how to make use of WR's isn't an issue.

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

    And I disagree with the outcome theory, Rat. The score was not indicative of how lopsided the game was.

    The D had to be tired. What was the time of possession number?
    Yeah the game was lopsided, but not much different from the opener. Hell, all it takes is a couple of breaks to help determine an outcome.

    That's acceptable to you? It's all below average.
    Quit being an obtuse dumbass. I like the way he is running does not equal I'm satisfied with his production.

    Rivers completed 8 passes to his receivers, Manuel 7 to his.

    Marrone.

    The first mistake came after the coin toss.

    The last thing you want to do is take the ball first against the wind with a nervous qb..

    You're just begging to be losing after the first quarter.

    Goat - Spikes for the personal foul that made a 2nd-goal at the nine into 1st-goal at the 4.
    Lehner's history. He just doesn't know it yet.

    I know that his play today reminded me of someone else and you just nailed it. 85 Bills Ferragamo and Bruce Mathison a 50 and a 53 QB rating. UGH.

    LOL

    Yeah, OK. So you say that you like the way that Spiller is running this season but now say that you're not satisfied with his production and I'm the one that's the obtuse dumbass. lol

    I like the way Spiller is running this season, a little bit of Freddie seems to have rubbed off.
    You constantly sound like your talking 360 degrees out of your ass and thinking that it makes sense.

    I'm curious what everyone here thinks about Spikes now as opposed to prior to the season. He's not even on the field for over half the defensive snaps. He has to sit on the most important downs. Through three games he hasn't done a whole lot worth mentioning. Same with Mike Williams. Mr. Red Zone's been almost invisible.

    I'm sorry you don't understand the difference. Maybe you should try following a different sport.

    I am actually OK with that. 5 yards inside the 10 is a minimal trade-off for something that shows a little attitude, and could have set a tone for the rest of the game (which, admittedly, it didn't).

    Spikes is earning his money, and doing what he gets paid to do and was brought in here for. The defense this season is much better against the run, and nobody expected him to be a three down player.

    Set the tone with your play, not with stupid extracurricular penalties. 2-9 is a lot harder than 1-4 and they wouldn't have been able to waltz in with a pick play like they did.

    Well, the second part is speculation, and for the most part I agree with the first, but I don't mind the occasional personal foul or roughing penalty as long as there is no intent to injure.

    2 each to Watkins and Williams, 3 to Woods.
