Considering the way Manuel opened the game, it couldn't come at a better time

Damn it, didn't know they were playing. I've been watching NDSU @ Montana. ...which has been a really good game so far

that was a really good game. once TT got pulled I just watched the remainder of that game.

tyrod did it mikey! tyrod did it!

Oh my goodness, it was an outstanding game from start to the very finish!! I hope the rest of the cfb season follows suit!

Damn EJ Manuel just killed it on that drive. Its gonna be a tough guess for the starter.

We wont win the race until a trophy is in the case!

Agreed but I'm certainly pulling for Tyrod. I just don't know why all these NFL teams draft nole QBs in the first round; they never seem to pay off.

Rick Monday... You Made a Great Play...

I also root for: The Keydets, Army, TexAggies, NY Giants, NY Rangers, ATL Braves, and SA Brahmas

Especially when the Vikes picked Ponder in the 1st Round, way over Tyrod.

-Being aggressive, being tough...that's the Virginia Tech way.

EJ Manuel was a first rounder because his draft class was exceptionally weak. For anyone wanting a quarterback in the 1st round that year, it was either him, Geno Smith, or Mike Glennon.

Not the bagman VT deserves, but the bagman VT needs right now.

Taylor will probably have to win it outright, Manuel is the high draft choice Buffalo invested in.

But he was old owner, manager, and coaches choice.

I would agree on principle, but Rex Ryan does his own thing.

If he puts his foot down, Tyrod could be the starter (pun intended)

That's more of a Marcus pun.

I'm just going to leave this here.

Thinking about dropping Derek Carr, and picking up Tyrod. Set the whole FFB league on fire!

-Being aggressive, being tough...that's the Virginia Tech way.

Wow, just checked the stats. Either all of the Buffalo Bills QB's are on fire or the Pittsburgh secondary defense sucks.

The Steelers defense is hot garbage.

We are the Hokies. We will prevail. We will prevail. We will prevail. We are Virginia Tech.

Oh my god, they still make Four Loko?! LMAO, I drank one of those one night, got F@#$'d up, threw up, and then cleaned my whole house when I finally got home. Man...what a ride.

They've changed the recipe to have way less caffeine, so instead of getting drunk and wired you just get drunk.

I feel like it's not worth it any more. It tasted god-awful, and if its not gonna get me wired I'd rather drink something just as dumb but not quite as aggressive

Bourbon. The correct answer is always bourbon.

"I liked you guys a lot better when everybody told you you were terrible." -Justin Fuente

I hate to say it, but I think EJ is getting the nod.

He does the patented Logan Thomas throw in to the dirt at an open running back so I'm going to say no

Have you been watching Tyrod...?

Every second counts

Yes, but I also think EJ will get injured and T-Mobile will get his chance. Cassel is 3rd. My call.

Was watching NFL GameDay Live on the NFL Network and they were saying it was probably going to be Cassel and Tyrod as the one and two.

Plenty of teams out there in need of a QB, Tyrod is showing the league he is capable if given a chance. Hope it is in Buffalo, seems to be a good fit with Rex Ryan.

Rex wants Tyrod. I think the coaching staff wanting to give the Manuel and Cassel another chance is the only reason Tyrod hasn't been named the starter.

I'm pretty confident that Tyrod will be named the starter today, but since the Bills won't let it out too the public, we may not know until Week 1.

In Sam Rogers we trust.
