Ryan Anticipates Decision Tomorrow: Rex Ryan says he plans on making a decision on his starting quarterback for the season tomorrow. But he will not share it with the media or fans. He did say that Matt Simms will start on Thursday night against Detroit. He was very impressed with how the offense performed in this game and said this is what he wanted out of the QB battle. With all four playing very well including Simms.

All 3 QBs Helped Themselves: How about all three QBs? If this game was suppose to settle the QB battle it made it even more muddled but for a good reason. E.J, Mannuel, Tyrod Taylor and Matt Cassel all performed very well. Manuel got the first two series and the team scored two touchdowns, Cassel got the next two series and he was efficient but penalties hurt him as the team did not score with him on the field. Taylor led the Bills to two touchdowns and a field goal in three possessions including a final minute field goal drive before halftime. Manuel came back in in the third quarter and threw another touchdown pass. They combined going 25 of 28 for 330 yards with Manuel throwing for two scores and Taylor running one in from 20 yards out. Manuel was 7 of 8 for 170 yards, Taylor was 12 of 13 for 122 while Cassel was 6 for 7 for 38 yards. This doesn't make it easier for Rex Ryan as EJ is now thoroughly in the discussion but Taylor's play, late in the first half and into the third quarter I think gives him the leg up. If anything EJ may have won the backup job. Fred Jackson didn't hurt his case with a 41 yard run on his first carry.

Who Hurt Themselves: We spoke about in our AFC East roundtable article that it was a big game for Ronald Darby and he failed. He was called for two pass interference penalties and was beaten on at least two other occassions including a bomb for a touchdown. Other than that nobody really hurt themselves.

Bills Beat Steelers 43-19: The Bills used a solid effort from all four quarterbacks to beat the Pittsburgh Steelers 43-19 in an impressive offensive display that muddled the QB battle even more because of solid play from all four quarterbacks. Fred Jackson followed a 41 yard run with a one yard touchdown plunge to get the scoring barrage started. EJ Manuel than hit Charles Clay for a 67 yard bomb. An 11 play, 80 yard drive by Tyrod Taylor ended in a one yard plunge by Ricky Seale. He then made a couple of plays to allow Dan Carpenter to hit a 52 yard field goal as the first half expired. Taylor wasn't done yet leading the Bills to start the second half on a 78 yard, 10 play drive that ended with his 20 yard run for a score. Manuel returned and hit Tobais Palmer for a perfectly thrown 37 yard bomb for a score. Matt Simms got into the act of solid quarterback play by hitting Charles Gragg for a 14 yard score to finish off an 83 yard 13 play drive that he split with EJ. Several players got banged up in the game with Stephon Gilmore, Marquise Goodwin, Marcus Thigpen, and Austin Willis were among the players who could not finish the game. Injury Page.

Big Preseason Battle: This afternoon the entire nation gets to see the Bills QB battle in full display on the NFL Network at 4pm. The Bills battle the Steelers in what is normally the preseason game that most closely resembles a regular season game. It won't for the Bills however as they are missing three of their top four running backs and their top three wide receivers. All three QBs in the race will see time with the first team but really that means just the starting offensive line. It created a big stir on Thursday when Rex Ryan announced EJ Manuel will get the start but the question remains will he get as much time as Matt Cassel and Tyrod Taylor. There is high drama for Bills fans at least through the first possession of the third quarter as the QB battle could be decided today. We will have our usual blurbs about what players helped themselves and which hurt themselves after the game.
