E.J. Manuel completed 3-of-7 passes for 56 yards in the Bills' preseason finale Friday night.

Clearly worried about their sophomore quarterback, Manuel was allowed to handle three drives in the exhibition finale. He didn't deliver, while losing Sammy Watkins to a rib aggravation. Manuel wraps the preseason 50-of-82 passing (60.2 percent) for 517 yards (6.30 YPA), one touchdown, three turnovers, and six sacks taken. We'll be streaming fantasy defenses against the Bills this year.

I don't know what it's going to take for the Bills to realize that EJ is a scrub and will always be one, he's not an NFL QB and the Bills will go noplace with him.

- SABRES 89


One can only hope the playcalling was, in fact, ultra vanilla during the preseason. I'm with you. I don't think EJ Manuel is a franchise quarterback, and I don't subscribe to the fact that the Bills can get away with a Flacco-type either. Like I've said before, you need to be absolutely dominant, as in the best in the league, at some other facet of the game (usually defense) to do that. The Bills have looked good on defense in the preseason, but I think the secondary is going to give them more problems than they realize. Also, they brought in Brandon Spikes to stop the run, but he's absolutely terrible against the pass, and NFL coaches know this. You are going to see teams throw the ball a lot against this team.

My first draft is tonight. I'm still very undecided about who to keep.

Eddie Lacy
Jimmy Graham
Demaryius Thomas

I won't know where I'm drafting until I get there and we all pick numbers out of a hat.

Do you have to decided before numbers are drawn. You really cant go wrong with any of those players though. It really is a toss up.

I guess when you draw your number you have to then tell who your keeper is. I told the commissioner I want to pick my number last.

I'll probably go with Graham or Lacy. Just depends on where I end up picking and who everyone else is keeping.

The Ravens were not the best defense in the NFL 2 years ago, neither were the Giants in either SB. Yes they were good, but go look at who was in the secondary for all 3 of those teams. Not too impressive.

There is a huge misconception that Peyton Manning, Tom Brady or the NFL's best defense in years ends up winning the SB every year and that's hardly true. It's more like the NHL than people think, sometimes the hot team rolls through and takes it.

Facts have no place here.

Homie welcomes all.

I miss Mr. Squirrell.

Miller is not elite.

Fire Darcy.

Ruff stifles.

Trade Stafford.

Pegula has all the money in the world.

Reinhardt/Ekblad.

McDavid/Eichel.

That trade won't even happen on NHL14.

Alcohol.

Chicken wings.

Rolston.

Murray is a Flipping Hero.

Nolan is (an inspriational leader/a waste of our time.)

That Austrian guy sucked and got drunk at the Olympics.

Kaleta something.

We'll never get a first rounder for Gaustad.

Roy's fishbowl.

Gif's from Gerbe75points.

I moved away from Buffalo for work but one day I hope to return because its a great place to raise a family.

Buffalo's economy sucks so all optimism is unwarranted.

We need free agents.

We should build through the draft.

Sooner or later we have to stop drafting prospects and acquire established talent.

I'm sure I'm missing something.

We should follow the Kings/Hawks model of rebuild.

Give Myers time: Chara wasn't great until his ____ year in the league.

Did I get them all now?

Don't go to college. Parade to 9th. Something negative about the bills. And of course Who could forget to add to the late 1st.

They are never going to realize it. The management in place is inept because they were never held to a higher standard. Their only goal is to generate phony hype in April to sell tickets and Jerseys to keep Ralph happy. Russ Brandon got promoted for drafting Aaron Maybin. Enough said. #praypegulagetsthebills
