I think I'd rather have Drew Bledsoe come out of retirement.

I hear there's a veteran QB out there who has taken a team to the Super Bowl and works best when managing a team with a running game.

Come on, Buffalo, this must be done. Sign Jake.

Mostly agree but lol if you think the Patriots aren't going to be dominant yet again this year...

Speaking of the Patriots, my friend made an excellent point when I asked him why he drafted the Patriots' defense in fantasy this year -- 6 games out of the year they play either a) Geno Smith b) Ryan Tannehill or c) whoever the Bills can muster up... 2/3 of which during playoff time. In my next draft Sunday, I'm taking the Pats D.

SO apparantly Miami put some kind of Voodoo/Santeria curse on the rest of the division. And you people let CJ Spiller go to Florida? Well..

At the Bills have CJ Spiller to hand the ball to in Week 1.

Oh, wait ... his what? Did what? In Florida?

Pats schedule:

@Bills
Jets
Bucs
@Falcons
@Bengals
Saints
@Jets
Dolphins
Steelers
@Panthers
Broncos
@Texans
Browns
@Dolphins
@Ravens
Bills

That is my safe guess of games that the Pats should win. How many points they will allow in doing so is a whole separate issue.

I just moved back to Buffalo last week. The first phone call I got was from the Bills asking about my availability. Unfortunately I injured myself while unloading the moving trailer otherwise Pooper 13 jerseys would be flying off the shelves about now.

Trying to save money, or tanking the season? There are guys like Byron Leftwich available who would certainly be a better option if they actually wanted to play football.

Unfortunately they'll be winning those games by 21 or so and the defense will slack off and give up points. For some reason, defenses tend to get lazy when they get a 3 or 4 TD lead like the Pats will have against the Jets and Bills.

/the Dolphins will be solidly mediocre this year

This is Buffalo. So the answer is ... yes.

I'd normally feel bad for the Bills in a situation like this. But last year, they had Vince Young and released him. Now he's backing up Aaron Rodgers in GB and has looked damned good this preseason.

So Buffalo ... ya done goofed. Sucks to be you.

I'm really not sure why we got rid of Ryan Fitzpatrick. He's been better than (see list), a fairly tolerable QB that had me hoping for a little stability at the position. Is he Jim Kelly? Hell no. But he wasn't JaMarcus Doofball. Or JP Losman. Or ... I'd better stop now.

Vince Young didn't look that good, and he was playing against back ups. Still better than Tuel, but lets not go pretending that Young will see a snap in a game that GB is trying to win.

Is it possible for Jake to win The Jake, or would that be considered an unfair advantage? Or dividing by zero?

Against the Seahawk scrubs, he was 6 of 7, ran for 39, passed for 41, and had a QB rating of 130+. Those are very good numbers.

And of course he was playing against backups. It is preseason after all. And if something happens to Rodgers, Young will be on the field and, presumably, the Packers will still be trying to win the game.

It also wouldn't surprise me if McCarthy uses Young in certain, very specific situations, such as an attempt to convert a 4th &1.

Yeah lets see against the greenbay scrubs brady quinn was 5/8 for 89 yards and a td for a passer rating of 140.1. I'm sure the hawks are totally going to play him on short down yardage as well and if Russel Wilson goes down Quinn can totally take over!

Look I get delusional because I'm a bills fan, but believing Vince Young will suddenly be anything but a clipboard holder is madness.

SlothB77: Is Leinart better than Tuel? Does it even matter?

Leinart would have to play a few snaps for that to even be a factor. They are set to play Tuel because he's the only active qb on their roster who has actually played in their offense. If Leinart or Thad Lewis look amazing or Manuel looks to be able to play, Tuel will go back to being what he was before this. Another WSU failure.

The difference between the Jets & the bills is at least the Jets will spend money. Unfortunately for Jets fans, the Jets spend their money as wisely as a 6 year old who just found a hundred dollar bill laying on the ground

Heard on the radio today Tuel (who went something like 4-22 at WSU) was worked out by the Patriots.....who passed him over for Tebow. and of course Tebow is a coin flip to make the team. not that Belichick is quaking in his boots over Tuel, but is that ironic or what?
