Is he sober?

Check Down King.... Check Mate.

does it matter?

Man, they must be desperate.

 

[CowboyChris]

bad move imo

Well, he hasn't been stretching the field, and they have guys that can get deep, and a solid running game... Not to mention a solid D
EJ is too careful...

Manuel wasn't even playing that badly, was he? He's only in his second season. Weird move.

I've been trying to keep up with them, watch them a bit (FSU fan and all)... He only has that one bomb.... he checks way too often....

lmao like Orton will.

I've been in Buffalo the last couple months and he has been awful. Apparently he missed some wide open guys Sunday and the fact that he had a chance for a game winning drive and went 4 and out closed it out for him. I know it's only his second year, but I just don't think he has it. You can kind of tell if guys see the field. Bridgewater and Bortles looked the part yesterday - EJ still doesn't.

Also, don't sleep on Buffalo they have 21 guys who are pretty good - they need the 22nd to be too.

How long before Orton threatens to retire since he actually has to play?

haha... well orton is a vet, he will see the field better, and will take more chances that Manuel did

not as long as he's starting..... I think he wanted to start.... and they paid him handsomely.

He was terrible. Watkins was open (really open) a lot yesterday and Manuel could not get close to him way too many times.

 

[panchucko]

maybe he wantd to play instead of carrying clip board behind romo

Yep, he was pretty awful yesterday.

What a huge move for that team, though. You don't give up on a second year QB lightly.

NFLN speculating that the staff knows they'll be on a very short leash with their new owner and can't afford a losing skid.

 

[Vinnie2u]

They just joined the M. Mariotta sweepstakes..

It's sad, but I have not seen a thing from the kid that makes me think he can be a good QB in this league. Bad pick by the Bills.

Who didn't see THAT coming?
