I'm not super worried about that. The Bills actually have as many more forced fumbles and one more forced fumble recovery than the Lions do. We also have more INTS and as many sacks.

What I'm concerned about is their Dline vs. the Oline. They need to give Orton time to throw for the Bills to win, or they need to effectively counter the pass rush with screens and the run game. The run game has been disappointing so far this year, mainly because of run blocking. If they can do that well the Bills have a chance. Otherwise they're toast. Orton IS 4-0 in his career against the Lions though.

Also, yes the Chargers are due for a letdown and the Jets are going to be desperate. They're off to a bad start but it's not too late to turn the season around. I'm sure they're seeing NE's weakness and are chomping at the bit to get back into the AFCE race. Jets have a really, really good defense and are definitely capable of beating the Chargers.
 
I want to see Mike Vick play so bad. I cant help but feel like he's better now than Geno Smith will ever be.

idk if theyre telling guys like Geno Smith and Teddy Bridge to try and become pocket passers but am I the only one who thinks teams are trying to make these guys into something theyre not? You have to play to your quarterback's strength, not everyone is Peyton Manning. When you give these guys an identity crisis they usually just wind up failing at both aspects eventually, running and passing. Mike Vick was at his best when he just went out and reacted to whatever the defense threw at him. He didnt reach his ultimate potential because he was lazy, he'll be the first to tell you that. Randall Cunningham had the same problem.

As much as I think Nick Foles is a starting QB in this league, I still am unsure if this team wouldnt be better with a mobile QB. Obviously, Dennis Dixon isnt going to take Nick Foles job, but I just dont see how you can sugar coat it any longer, a dual threat QB makes this offense exponentially more dangerous. I would have liked to see Mike vick as the qb tbh

ok, I may have a slight man crush on Michael Vick, but I actually went to the game where he first came in for the Eagles to replace Kevin Kolb (lol) against the Packers like 3 seasons ago and he was seriously the most exciting athlete ive ever watched play. Even when he was getting sacked, you never knew if he was gonna break free and just bang out a 20 yard gain from nothing. I hate seeing him waste his career backing up a dude that in all likelihood will never pan out but I guess it's better than being in jail.

I guess after the whole Ray Rice thing, Mike Vick is old news lol
 
Im sure Orton is the better option. Ive been saying to my brother for the past two weeks Manuel is the sole thing holding back the Bills. Orton probably has a better arm and has experience. He would hit those wide open receivers and backs.

Sub, I dont think Geno, or Bridgewater or Manuel for that matter are really dynamic runners as Vick was. And with Geno's and EJ's inaccuracy and poor decision making, a scrambling style is worse than having them stay in the pocket.
 
well that falcons game sucked. 3 starting offensive lineman get injured and 2/3 are already on IR, with the other possibly going on IR too. Falcons TE had to move in to play RT the rest of the game, I dont think I've ever seen that happen in all the years ive watched football. and then falcons leader on defensive, William Moore out the first series and also placed on IR but can return week 13. That game felt just like week 2 against the rams last year with all the injuries happening in 1 game. and it's not like it's the same guys getting re-injured either.

falcons really need to make a trade for a pass rusher now or they're not making playoffs. hopefully julio, roddy, harry, and hester can make up for the o-line injuries but matt ryan wont be getting those deep balls anymore with the pass rush. probably all short plays like when jake matthews was out vs bengals. but they wont be outscoring anyone anymore with a bunch of short passes. they gotta make a trade.

i cant believe they ever got rid of john abraham. that made no sense at all, and they still havent replaced him.
 
Lmao you guys are really hyping up Kyle Orton. It's laughable

Kyle Orton lol



Idk about you but if my team replaced our starting QB with Kyle Orton I wouldn't be that excited. No matter how you look at it, this is a huge step backwards for the Bills. They just killed any confidence EJ had in himself by replacing him with Orton.

All I'm gonna say is, if your team is replacing your starting QB with Kyle Orton in week 5, you have absolutely no chance at making the playoffs. 0% chance.

You might as well look forward to next years draft and hope you can get Mariotta or Winston

Stafford threw for 298 yards last week, so that average just went up even higher. He's on pace to be one the best quarterbacks to ever play. Just need at least one Super Bowl
 
River threw like 377 and been in the league way longer wait till stafford is 35 if he makes it that long stafford Is number one cuZ he has been in the league the least years

And possible MVP this year if he gets a ring within the next few years he will be one of the best to play rivers will


Already him and gates are all time qb/te leading duos

Rivers is an elite qb people are realizing it now
 
Not people on bl


A one-point loss at Arizona in the season opener is the only thing keeping San Diego from 4-0. Philip Rivers' 82.5 QBR is the best of anyone not named Peyton.
 
the fact that i don't have $1,000,000 is the only thing keeping me from telling people i'm a millionaire.

sure, rivers looks good but the season isn't only 4 games long.

id be willing to bet he also led the league in pass attempts, and by a sizeable margin. also, detroit was pretty terrible his first few years, led to a lot of gimme yards in garbage time. Calvin Johnson is pretty good iirc

he's a great QB with a rocket arm, but he's not in my top 5

fuck your yards per game

Yeah because the Dolphins, Jets, and Patriots are looking like they're going to run away with the AFCE..... 8)

If you don't think Kyle Orton can take the Bills to the playoffs then you're not familiar with the rest of their roster.

DWE-my husband decided to drop Alasdair a line, but he was speechless and could only bitch about some post where I complained he didn't reply to my email quick enough. You may like this. I told Alasdair I would let him be, but that is in PM's.
Here you go DWE
The first comment was: My husband felt that if Peyton Manning stayed on with Bill Belacheck they would have won more superbowls
And Alasdair said that was stupid, and something like, coulda shoulda woulda to which this was said

"This is what I find so amusing not just with you but with "experts" on tv. On one hand they will say football is the ultimate team game (which imho it is) yet at the same time they will go on about how Brady is the best because of "his" rings and how *insert whatever qb you want* can't win a super bowl or needs to win more. So you tell me which is it? I believe "the hoodie" (if you listen to Jim Rome you will get that) is the best coach in the last 2 decades and possibly of all time and has won so many championships in this era of salary cap induced parity because he does the best job of covering his teams weaknesses and exposing the other teams. But in the end I don't really care what you think I just plain don't like Brady (and I'm a Michigan fan too!!)."

Enjoy losing Pats. IDGAF.

really classy. they're called private messages for a reason.

you're like a politician who says "i'm not going to talk about..." something then talks about it. and, i didn't know the pm was from your husband...
