    Gotta Start EJ Next Week

    Not that Orton is the sole reason we lost today.

    But I don't see a single point of starting him next week. To me the turning point of this game is Orton's 1st INT. The Bills had everything going and he threw a bad one killing the flow.

    That and lack of attempt to run the ball is pathetic.

    Time to see what EJ has learned behind Orton. Does he really let it fly now?

    Yep, there's no point in playing Orton next week. Hopefully he's gone after this year and hopefully we're not talking about EJ or Orton starting next year.

    Agreed. EJ is likely a bust but may as well just for completeness. We know that Orton needs to be shown the door at the end of the season. That much is 100% certain. No sense is playing him another snap. Ever.

    Orton got the Raiders into the game with the stupid interception. Carr was scarred ****lless facing our defense, Dareus going down was huge, though.

    I'm hoping for 52-7 or something similar next week.

    It just shows you what a running game can do for you. People are enamored with QB like Brady, Manning throwing the balls left and right. But the way I see it, the ability to run the ball goes a long way. Big Ben suddenly put up MVP numbers largely because Bell broken out this year.

    The Bills just went the opposite, from a run-heavy team last year to not being able to run the ball at all this year.

    I agree, though they tried to run Spiller off tackle but they couldn't. Too many 3rd and long today. Urbik is weak at the POA and Pears should be the swing tackle at this point. Don't know what to think about Henderson, he was Mack's ***** today.

    The Orton "era" is over. May as well get EJ some playing time.

    No! Orton still gives us the best chance to beat the pats.

    If we beat the Pats whether it be with Orton or EJ then this season will feel like a real let down. Right now I'm comfortably numb in losing to the Raiders as I thought we had a small chance to make the playoffs this year with 9 wins but if don't make it because we couldn't beat the Chiefs at home or non playoff teams like the Texans and possibly Chiefs and Dolphins well then I will be pissed.

    Send them all away.

    Start Fred Jackson at QB.

    What's the God damn difference.

    **** no, beating the Patriots is satisfying any week. If Denver wins tomorrow and we knock them off in Week 17, we have the chance of costing them home field and possibly keeping them out of the Super Bowl.

    It's worth it.

    I think that has a lot more to do with finding Matavius Bryant and facing a slew of piss-weak pass defenses. But having Bell doesn't hurt.

    I would start every single backup on O next week, to see what we actually have.

    I don't care if the final is 72-0 Pats.
