That's right, Ed, I'm crazy for even suggesting Trent faked that groin injury. You know, the one that he couldn't remember exactly when he suffered it, and the one that apparently wasn't bad enough for him to hit the training room and instead don a beanie and watch the game, PACING the sidelines.... Yeah, I'm the one who's out of touch. And your wife never fakes those headaches, either.

What !@#$ing bandwagon! You mean when, like 2015, right? Four years into the team's reign as the Toronto Thunderdicks, maybe? Yeah, I'm sure this guy will come begging for your forgiveness when that bandwagon starts back up. On the QEW and all.

Yayyyyy the Toronto Thundercocks!!!!!!!!!!

Correct. And now, you must take your theories of Trent's destroyed confidence to its logical ultimate conclusion. He will take any chance he gets to run and hide. Just so happens that his coach needed to give a good reason why he'd bench him the same week he promised that he'd NEVER do that with him, so in their mutual lameness, POOF!, a groin injury. One that didn't, apparently, necessitate a single minute of trainer room time or MRI or other tests when it was finally "discovered". These doofuses couldn't even plan that one simple little deception well, that's what's so !@#$ing silly about all this. They left the idiot on the SIDELINES the entire second half, in the FREEZING COLD, when, if they really wanted to sell this injury, they'd have PARADED him into the locker room in front of 72,000 fans to see. This whole bunch is a !@#$ing joke. !@#$ his arm. I want his head.

Trent faked a groin injury in a pivotal game, to save face for both his lame coaches and let JP take the fans' abuse. So, now we have JP, the QB with no Brain, and Trent, the one with no Heart. Where's Dorothy when we need her?

Joe D for President of the World.

Trent just allowed himself to be pulled from the most important game of the year and fake a groin injury to cover both his own azz and his lame coaches' azzes. It ain't his arm that has failed. It's his heart and his mind. I hate his !@#$ing guts right now.

Boycotts ALWAYS work. Humans are too lazy, usually, though, to pull them off anymore, so we never see them. But who really wants to spend that kind of cash on tickets to a Jauron Circus Show????????? Here, here, thread starter. Gather the troops and fire the shot!!!

Not bad. Yes.

I think I'd rather ask San Diego and Buffalo about Butler, and Indianapolis and Buffalo about Polian, thanks.

No, that's a good assessment. We should get quotes from his players in Chicago. Anyone?

If they did that, then I blame their coach, Marv Levy, even MORE for being a TERRIBLE General. If I were HC, I'd have hired private security to stand outside the players' hotel rooms. And besides, I've gone over this with a fine tooth comb, and I heard they only partied before the first one, not the next three.

If those same fans stop buying Bills tickets and merchandise, then I will overlook their temporary insanity. If they meant to hit the coaches with their cups and debris, then I forgive their bad aim. If Jason Peters yelled back because, for once, he had a stellar game and the jabs were misdirected by stupid fans at him, then I forgive his lack of composure. I forgive everything but the Head Coach, the GM, and the owner. And your avatar makes me wanna kill you, sorry.

At least you admit that it WAS phantom. That's a good sign, at least.

He has subpar coaching ability and HORRIBLE integrity problems. Can we stop now?

That's the B word about loyalty to a team. It ain't an easy thing to do. Even when you know that the team owner never really gave a rat's ass. The players did, and do. Marshawn cares. Lee Evans cares. Jim Kelly cared. Biscuit Bennett cared. I can never stop hurting for the players who have their careers ruined by cheapskate owners who hire subpar coaches and GMs because they look at it as a business and not a pastime like they SHOULD. So I am supposed to go away and don a Dolphins jersey because I see the writing on the wall. Thanks.

And because neither of us has ever been to the moon, which of us gets to argue that the moon is made of cheese?

!@#$ it, I told you guys, you're wasting your time with this one.

And again, you make NO connection to COACHING when you describe players who develop into gutsy, SMART players who make smart decisions and act like Generals out there. Face it, you refuse to see how bad coaches and coordinators combine to ruin a player's development and make him look like a dud when another coach might make him look like a genius, because he has genius of his OWN that he knows how to IMPART on his players.

Big Cat, when he was heading into the locker room at Halftime, Dick was stopped by the chick working for FOX covering the game and asked to make an assessment. She said, and I quote, "Coach Jauron stopped and simply said, 'We simply can't miss that Field Goal there', and walked off." Not a mention of any "injury" to Trent's groin, even later he states that they knew about it from basically the beginning of the GAME. He blamed his kicker. No mention of the bad time out calls and the poor execution that his OC caused with his poor playcalling and poor sets. He blamed Rian Lindell. He is not only a horrible coach, but he can't FACE the FACT that he makes huge mistakes and instead HURLS his players under the bus without provocation. He needs to first be fired, then beaten up. Bad.

You want to dissect one single play instead of seeing the whole picture, and that's where your argument fails. It's a combination of foibles, bad decisions, weak coaching, allowing his OC to be a total IDIOT, and seeing all those things, knowing that DJ runs a ship FULL of holes that he, himself, lacks the ability to plug week after week, that forces me to see how Trent, Rian, Roscoe, and basically the entire bunch of players, eventually lose focus and direction and panic out there. Have you not seen this before? Look at JP as a perfect example. He was ruined by the LAST coaching staff and THEIR inability to develop a tough-minded, studious, and SAVVY quarterback. And THIS coachign staff is destroying Trent, in a way that EVERY ex-QB in the role of commentator, is saying, namely CONFIDENCE. And the culminating fact to nail this coffin shut is how Trent just allowed himself to be benched and told to lie about a completely fictitious injury, so his feeble, weak, pansy head coach could avoid scrutiny. Trent is dead in the water. Another JP.

And so, he should keep talking, in that case, not shut his mouth.
