Yikes, EJ TIME!
Yikes, EJ TIME!
I thought EJ looked better than expected when he played the 2nd half Sunday. At one point he went 8 for 8 with completions. His long ball interception late in the game was out of desperation - but - sort of characteristic of his career.

This could be EJ's second chance. In a league full of mediocre and bad QBing, a couple good games and......well, you know.

I didn't see him play but a co worker mentioned it to me earlier and we looked up the stats. Certainly not the same EJ that was under center for the Bills. It's a small sample size, but so was his debacle against Jacksonville. Talent and competent coaching make a difference.

2-6 weeks? That's a pretty big window. A back fracture sounds serious. I would think it's going to be closer to 6 weeks than 2. Raiders come to Buffalo in 4 weeks.

Can't say that I agree. His first snap resulted in a delay of game penalty. He moved the ball a bit after that, but after Denver's D tightened up at the end of the game EJ looked like his old self. Von Miller insane sack that he didn't see coming from his right.
With the game on the line, either one of his final two passes could have been picked off. His last one was. Not a big surprise. I had little confidence that he would get the job done.
Glad we're done with him. Good luck to him though.
. Burned 2 time outs that his coach was pissed about and still stares d9wn his intentions.
He is scrappy QB but I wish him the best
Remember when Rob Johnson was on the Redskins? They were playing us in our stadium- their starter got injured and they had to put Johnson in. He got sacked on his first snap and the stadium exploded....
We may be gearing up for another one of those moments. But, I don't think there's the hate for EJ that there was for Johnson. EJ sucked, but he's far from the only QB who has sucked for this franchise. Johnson got that monster contract (by the standards of the time) which set this franchise back, and had that California surfer vibe that never quite jived with working class Buffalo.

Sunday October 29th -- Raiders @ Bills -- EJ v. Peterman.
I am sooooooo there!
Ian Rapaport says he'll only miss at most 2 games
EJ looked terrible. His numbers show otherwise, but he looked like a statue and made completions only when the Broncos went into Prevent mode.
EJ's passes are too soft, and he sets his receivers up to get creamed or an interception. If his mind can find the open guy, he floats it in and in the NFL you can't do that.

On another board, someone explained it is a transverse fracture. Each vertebrae has a pair of "wings" projections which come out the sides. One of those is cracked. For someone who has a fractured transverse, there is no particular risk of making it worse or injuring the spinal cord before it has completely healed. It is primarily a pain management issue.
I've made up my mind. Don't confuse me with the facts.
I'm the most reasonable poster here. If you don't agree, I'll be forced to have a hissy fit.

Yes f he plays in 3 weeks I think we see him, if he doesn't I'm not sure they would start him on the road against the bills d, of course it will also depend on EJ's performance.
