    I don't know much about the Bills but looks like Manuel was a great pick. Ravens beat us, you beat the Ravens. We're a different team now but it should be a good one!

    I'm thinking the Browns D will be too much for the Rookie. Browns 21 Bill 6

    Good luck the rest of the season (after our game of course)

      to be completely honest, i feel the browns are going to roll the bills thursday. its in cleveland and the browns have picked up huge momentum. with gordon back on offense and a legit quarterback who makes good quick decisions, has poise, and is a good game manager, our offense is finally good enough to make us a playoff team. our defense is top 5 in the league and i dont see bills moving the ball well against us as no team has so far. other than some lucky ass plays by the vikings to go along with the damn QB runs. im not going to put anything into stone though. i personally love the bills, they've always been my second favorite team. anything can happen thursday. and damn cj spiller better pick his shit up, my damn first round pick in both my fantasy leagues. my one league is a points league not head to head, so he's killin me right now. my prediction is 27-6 browns though.

        Never had a bad thought about Buff. I like their fans, and l like the team, but I hope we crush you guys on Thursday.

        Indeed, addition by subtraction. Actually multiplication by subtraction.

        How's Manuel been looking?

          Hey all...Bills fan here.

          Not a Cleveland native, but grew up in Mentor and Eastlake...grew up watching Brian Sipe and Bernie.

          Anyway, been a Bills fan for nearly 30 years and, like you guys, we're trying to finally pick ourselves up and get back to playing competitive football after a long hiatus. I have to admit, I am a bit perplexed as to what has transpired with your team recently. How do you lose your starting QB and starting RB to injury and trade, respectively, and come out of that playing not only better, but significantly better? Is this a classic case of addition by subtraction?

          How do you guys figure the game will go on Thursday?

          Oh, and regarding our game against the Ravens yesterday....you're welcome.

          Yes, thanks for tarring the birds! They are not forecasting snow for this one either. It should be a typical low scoring affair with the home team winning. Our D has been lights out good and the offense does enough.

            Thanks man...yeah, EJ was clearly the right pick for us, especially since Geno Smith seems to find new ways to suck each and every week (except the one week where he plays us...go figure). Not only that, but he's a good kid...very easy to root for. One thing in his favor is that he's played four teams known for having stout D's so far....Pats, Panthers, Jets, and the Ravens yesterday. Seeing some of the footage of your D, though, and especially after watching what Haden did to AJ Green yesterday, your D may be the most dangerous of the group. Win or lose, it'll be a good learning experience for EJ...just please don't kill the guy!

                lol@multiplication by subtraction...truly, that's how it looks from a distance, too. Richardson was dominant at Bama...you guys think he was a beneficiary of the Oline he had there at the time?

                Manuel has limited mistakes and had some moments...many Bills fans seem to think he should be Warren Moon out of the gate, but clearly that's not realistic. He's shown a willingness to really learn from the mistakes he makes and the coaches are doing a good job of putting him position to be successful. I think by year 3 he'll be a very solid NFL QB...really happy with this pick.

                  That's kind of how I see it, too. Our defense is a notch below yours, and on top of that we're missing 3/4 of our starting secondary, but I think it will be a hard fought low scoring game, as well. Hopefully both teams will have a few big plays to keep it fun to watch, though, too.

                          Probably one area that we can all agree on is that football was meant to be played in the elements! I've never been a fan of football in domes...that beautiful field you guys have is going to look amazing under the lights on thursday.

                            I was reading through the Richardson trade thread you guys have...it's funny seeing all sorts of "WTF!!!!"s in the beginning, and then later on most of the posts are like, "hell yeah, we fleeced the Colts on that trade!" lol The Colts are one of the franchises I don't have any feelings about one way or the other, so I hope you guys turn that pick into a solid player next year.

                              our stadium is shit. we are well aware of that. no need to try play that game. unless you actually think we have a "beautiful" stadium, i think you need a brain scan in that case

                                If you guys do take us out, I just hope you build off that and make a run. Your division is there for the taking, and you already have the early tiebreaker over the Bungles...if you go up 3-2, there's a lot there to build off of. EJ will benefit from having to face your defense regardless of the score at the end, so as much as I'd love a win, if we can at least come out of there with a QB who is better after the game than before, it's a positive.

                                  trust me im not one to be that guy. if the bills win 27-6 i will not be surprised at all. just making my prediction based on our momentum and the fact its primetime at home. its going to be rocking thursda night especially if the tribe wins wednesday. yesterday when we went up by 2 scores in the 4th the whole upper deck was bouncing up and down. first time that has happened since our last thursday night game against the giants five years ago and eric wright had the 100 yard pick 6 to put us by 3 td's (i get season tickets in the upper deck of the dog pound). and by following all the browns' twitters you can just tell by their tweets its a completely different mood right now on that team.

                                  If you guys do take us out, I just hope you build off that and make a run. Your division is there for the taking, and you already have the early tiebreaker over the Bungles...if you go up 3-2, there's a lot there to build off of. EJ will benefit from having to face your defense regardless of the score at the end, so as much as I'd love a win, if we can at least come out of there with a QB who is better after the game than before, it's a positive.

                                    I like Buffalo, and because of what someone else mentioned about their owner sticking up for the fans I will always have a special place in my heart for them.

                                    This board is absolutely RUTHLESS to newcomers from different teams, EXCEPT when Bills fans come over. We get along pretty well with you guys, almost identical cities.

                                    Good luck this Thursday, but not too much.

                                    My prediction: Browns 20 Bills 13.

                                      Never had a bad thought about Buff. I like their fans, and l like the team, but I hope we crush you guys on Thursday.

                                      Indeed, addition by subtraction. Actually multiplication by subtraction.

                                      How's Manuel been looking?

                                      lol@multiplication by subtraction...truly, that's how it looks from a distance, too. Richardson was dominant at Bama...you guys think he was a beneficiary of the Oline he had there at the time?

                                      Manuel has limited mistakes and had some moments...many Bills fans seem to think he should be Warren Moon out of the gate, but clearly that's not realistic. He's shown a willingness to really learn from the mistakes he makes and the coaches are doing a good job of putting him position to be successful. I think by year 3 he'll be a very solid NFL QB...really happy with this pick.

                                      Oline, absolutely. Look at Mark Ingram, and Lacy, I don't think any Bama back has done much in the NFL lately.

                                      The only bits I have seen of Manuel were during the Jets game, and I think he was getting frustrated. That's a very small sample size, so my judgement is unwarranted. I have heard he looks pretty good though.

                                        Jets game frustrated him for sure...this game has the potential to be similar,so it'll be interesting to see how he's grown over the last couple weeks.

                                        Good point about the Bama backs...I forgot about Ingram.
