I totally agree...but, what do you expect?...even the most seasoned veteran quarterback has trouble against the pats defense...asking a player who should be considered a rookie for all intents and purposes to do what vet qb's can't do is asking just a little too much

I expected a much better performance than this, garbage time not included. If you are going to hype the living hell out of this game, the guy you trot out at the most important position on your team had better be ready to play at a high level. He was anything but today.

You draft one, something the Bills can't seem to do.

As a matter of pure fact... E J Manuel earned the starting role based on his preseason production... Statistically he was far and away the best QB in the preseason...

but he wasn't the people's choice, just ask the boys on wgr...at least manuel had regular season starts

Gotta draft one first, something the Bills haven't had a clue since Kelly.

Todd Collins, EJ, Edwards....

They have drafted them, it is just the hardest position to hit on.

They should draft one in every round, one of them is bound to work.

The fact that the Bills decided that a guy who wasn't the best quarterback on his own team was the best quarterback in the draft still boggles my mind.

He actually is the only QB in school history to lead his team to 3 straight bowl victories

When your own coach says that you aren't a first round talent (and yes, Jumbo Fisher did say that), it should have sent a red flag from day one.

All that means is that the question remains unanswered at the most important position on a football team.

Then who cares what Fisher said? Manuel was still a higher rated prospect than Taylor. But agree we're shafted at the position.

Yup

Self-proclaimed #1 Defense yields 425+ yards and 3 TDs through the air...they didn't shut down one of the receivers.
Bills D needs to look in the mirror and try to achieve being rated highly rather than telling everyone they are.
Same crap, different year.
Rex has a lot, a lot of work to do on D with this team. The pass D is horrible, horrible.
That said, I do think Tyrod has a game he can build on, for a 2nd career start I'll take it.

The pass defense is predicated on getting a pass rush. Take that away and the secondary is toast...as most are.

While I still believe they are great player, I think they need to plan on replacing Mario and Kyle Williams very soon.

Build the defense around Gilmore, Bradham, Hughes, and Dareus.

With all the money tied up there, we will lose guys like Woods, Brown, Glenn etc.
