Today's Poll: How do you grade E.J. Manuel's first-game performance for the Bills?

By Howard B. Owens

The game yesterday was lost because of two key plays.

1) A fumble by CJ Spiller deep in Bills territory which lead to a New England Touchdown by CJ Spiller.

2) A dropped pass on a 3rd and 6 play by Stevie Johnson late in the game which would have pretty much put the Bills in a position to use up much of the last 4 minutes of the game.

The irony is that 2 VETERAN players made the key errors that probably cost the game.

Overall, the rookies, E J Manual and WR Robert Woods had a very good first outing. They both made plays that kept the Bills in the game through out. The rookie linebacker Kiko whatever made some decent plays, and the big surprise was the second string defensive backfield did surprisingly well throughout the game.

Like I said before, they may not win half the games this season, but they are going to be exciting to watch this season.
