I was just watching sportscenter before the monday night football pregame show started and mike ditka, keyshawn johnson, cris carter, and tom jackson just completely mocked the bills. They were talking about how the giants are in a much tougher division than the jets are. I dont remember the exact words so im going from what i remember... Ditka goes "the giants have to face the redskins, eagles, and cowboys and all the jets have to deal with is the patriots and maybe the dolphins, and then ditka goes "forget about buffalo, they never win in buffalo" and someone else said "yeah they dont have to ever worry about the bills." And the whole crew just started dying, laughing hysterical saying "hah the bills, hah." I wanted to jump threw the screen and beat them all. I hope to god we shock the world and then ill send in a nice letter to that crew and then see what they have to say.
What did you expect them to say? Watch out for Trent Edwards and them Bills? Did you watch the game Friday? We were already expected to be bad and then went out and played even worse than that.
I am still optimistic about this team and the direction it is going, but come on, you cant get your panties in a wad every time someone points out that we stink when thats all we have done the last few years and in our only preseason game. Every person should pick us to finish last at this point until we can PROVE otherwise on the field.

From Wiki:
Brennan appeared in his first NFL exhibition game in the 2008 Hall of Fame Game against the Indianapolis Colts on August 3. He was impressive in his debut completing 9-of-10 passes for 123 yards and 2 touchdowns for a 157.5 passer rating in the Redskins' victory.[20] His success continued two weeks later against the New York Jets when he completed 4-of-5 passes for 79 yards and scored the game winning touchdown on a 33-yard pass to Jason Goode.[21]
Brennan led all 2008 NFL rookies in touchdown passes, passing yards and quarterback rating through the preseason .[22] He finished the 2008 preseason with a strong performance, going 36-for-53, for 411 yards and three touchdowns and with no interceptions. For the preseason, Brennan's completion percentage was 67.9% and his quarterback rating was 109.9. He also carried the ball twice for 11 yards.

Each has played in nine games (all but one in the preseason). Through nine games, Brohm has, you guessed it, zero touchdowns to go along with six picks. Brennan has four TD's with only three picks. If you can't see the difference there, then I can't help you. If you actually watched any of the games these two have played, you'd notice the difference as well. Also, Brennan was unable to beat out Jason Campbell and Todd Collins (a solid veteran), and had no chance at unseating future HoF'er McNabb especially after getting hurt; Brohm got beat out by Matt Flynn (who, contrary to popular opinion around here, really isn't very good), and can't climb our pathetic depth chart.
Please also tell me, oh great one, what the hell the player's pre-draft status several years ago has to do with their abilities now.
So, what you are saying is that Colt has done nothing as well in the NFL. I mean you are propping up 2 of his PRESEASON games where he faced 3rd and 4th stringers as somehow an indication that he has accomplished more in the NFL. Also, that was 2008 and his 2009 preseason not nearly as productive. He cant catch on as a 3rd string QB and Brohm is competing for a #1 job.
I dont have anything against Colt at all, just find it funny how you hate Brohm yet support Colt (who is about to be cut by his second team) all because he had 2 games where he did well in PRESEASON against a bunch of players who are largely not playing in the NFL now or so buried on the depth chart that they never see the field. And you bash Flynn while ignoring the fact that, regardless of your opinnion of him, GB likes him a lot. Then prop up Todd Collins who wasnt even an average QB in this league to validate Colt not beating him out.
Im not saying Brohm is this or that...not even saying he will be better than Colt or vice versa by the time their careers are done. I have no idea if Brohm will do well or not, I just want to see him on the field before I decide he is this or that.
I just find it puzzling how you bash repeatedly on Brohm because he was cut in GB yet dont hold that against Colt who was also cut by the team that drafted him (and looks to be about to be cut again). McNabb is no spring chicken either and they will need a QB of the future in 2 to 3 years, so if they beleived Colt could be that guy they would not have cut him.
-
Colt Brennan is 25 and is two years removed from the draft. He's somebody I liked coming out of college and liked even more when he dominated in the HoF game (albeit against backups). He's shown more in his career than Brian Brohm and is still very young. How is he a "flavor of the week"? This isn't a patch until we can draft, this is someone I would pursue as a long-term answer at the position.
Please describe to me how he has shown much more than Brohm? Brohm was going to be a top 5 pick, maybe even the #1 pick his Jr. year...Colt was never at any point considered a first round pick. Brohm had a much higher draft grade coming out of college. Neither has done anything nor had the chance to do anythin in the NFL during their 2 year run in the NFL. Both have been cut by the teams that drafted them. Brohm is competing for a starting spot in the NFL while Brennan is tyring to catch on as a 3rd string QB somewhere.
So, I ask again and sincerly, please explain how you can say Colt has "shown more in his career" than Brohm?
I find it puzzling that you are on the Colt band wagon and then bash Brohm when they have had almost the same career thus far in the NFL except Brohm had a much higher draft grade, has more potential, played against much higher competition in college, played in a pro system in college vs Colt playing in the run and shoot, is currently competing for a starting job where Colt cant even catch on as a 3rd stringer, and has been working in our new system all off season.
-
actually its a very intelligent question.
injuries to someone give opportunites to others. that being said, i think he will keep the #1 if he has that much of an impact.
This will be a run first team come week 1 and will feature a lot of throws to the RB's too, so its not unreasonable to think he can put up those numbers if he is the real deal, which I think he is.
-
In a couple of weeks the only supporters Brohm will have left are his relatives. The guy brings nothing to the table that is any better than what we have. You'll see. If you really want to jump on someone's bandwagon, it might as well be Levi Brown's, because he's got a lot more "upside" than Brohm. It's not just the Atlanta game, it's the reports out of camp that Brohm has shown realtively poor arm strength and is weak or accuracy and the fact that he is floating between 2nd & 4th on the depth chart, with #3 already locked up by Brown. All the Brohm fantasies will come to a screeching halt after he playes in 1 or 2 exhibition games & you see why GB cut him last summer. He doesn't belong in the NFL & in 2 weeks it will be quite evident.
What I don't understand is why the Brohm fans think the Bills can do something no other NFL team has done in the modern era-get something out of a high round QB who gets cut for reasons other than the salary cap. Look it up, the guys who other teams steal are late round under the radar players. You don't steal 2nd round QB busts and get production out of them. Remember you're taking about a John Guy acquisition. It's as if you bought a lottery ticket & think you'll be a millionaire tomorrow-It isn't happening!
I dont know where you are getting your reports, but the ones being posted on buffalobills.com and by many posters on this board all say the Brohm has consistently thrown the cleanest passes and prettiest passes. Does he have it all put together yet? Of course not, he also has no experience yet and is still learning the system and trying to form timing with his WR's just like the other 3 QB's.
No one is claiming he will be great, in fact, you and some others are the only ones making proclamations about how he will play. We just want to see him on the field get a chance to live up to his potential coming out of the draft rather than watch 2 guys with no potential in Trent and Fitz go out and stink up.
Cant say anything good or bad about Levi really either other than he looked pretty raw and bad in the preseason game. I wont hold that against him though as it was his first NFL game action. I love though how you give Brown the benefit of the doubt who was a 7th round draft pick, but you dont give it to Brohm until he shows otherwise on the field even though he barely has any more experience than Brown.
-
We know Fred wont play until at least week 1 maybe longer. Lynch is still unknown, but if its a bad ankle injury he may not be ready to go week 1 either.
So, if thats the case and Spiller starts say weeks 1 and 2 and puts up 300 + combined yards rushing and recieving with a couple of TD's or more, does he hold onto that #1 spot?
I like Fred, and even think Lynch still can be a very good RB in this league...but what do you do if they dont start weeks 1 and 2 if Spiller has big games starting in their place and lives up to his explosive billing?
No, I am not calling for Spiller to start or anything like that, just curious to see how this all plays out if Fred and Lynch arent ready to go week 1.
-
Yup. He didn't have a great game, but he showed flashes of why he was drafted. He is VERY quick. Give the guy more PT in the preseason and see if he starts to figure it out. I was a bit encouraged by his performance tonight.
Yeah, give the kid a chance to play and develop some moves from his new position that utilize his strengths. Derrick Thomas wasn't mauling people either and used his speed and finesse to get to the QB...and our fan base would trade their right arm for a Derrick Thomas right now...
Ultimately he may be a bust, average player, or great player...too early to tell when he has had very little playing time on the field and is being moved to a position better suited for his skill set.
-
I sort of agree with you but all i'm saying is people keep talking about him as if he has lit it up somewhere else before he came to the bills and he has not.
What has any unproven young QB or rookie done before he has played more than 1 game?

This isn't horrible, and in my opinion it's pretty good. So what happened??
A. Bad teams made him look good
B. Worse OL
C. Concussion
D. Trent's confidence
E. DJ and Co made him worse?
F. Worse supporting cast?
I don't know the answer, I'm looking for them.
9 TD's in 9 games...doesnt seem all that different to me...
-
I'm usually a little more patient, but after watching the Bills game as well as other highlights, I couldn't help myself. Taking Troup, a guy who doesn't start, instead of Clausen, a guy who could start for us this year was a big blunder. And this is not a hindsight or BS revisionist take on the draft. I like many other Bills fan around the country was screaming at the tv during the draft when the Bills drafted Troup (a guy not projected to go in the top 3 rounds) over JC.
I understand this team has a ton of holes (arguably even more before the 2010 draft) and that next year is supposed to be an even better year for QBs (2010 was given such a label too at this time last year) but grabbing Clausen at worse gives you a decent QB who could develop into something special, but at the least provides stop gap play at Qb in 2010 and is a good backup after you draft a QB high in 2011.
For the Bills sake I'm hoping that Clausen as a falling QB that so many teams passed on, follows Brady Quinn's career trajectory, and not that of Aaron Rogers who a lot of teams also passed on and who had similar reviews out of college.
Before we do this, maybe we should wait until Brohm gets a chance to play. Not saying he will be great, but what I am saying is we dont know yet, so lets give him a shot out there before we start this stuff.
-
I'll say it again - on Sept. 12, the QB 'pecking-order' will be
Brian Brohm - Starting QB
Bad Bad Levi Brown - #2 QB
Ryan Fitzpatrick - Clipboard
Trent Edwards - President, Dakota Fanning Fan Club - Los Gatos Chapter
While I agree and always have thst Brohm will win this job, I cant see any scenario where Levi is the #2. I mean anythings possible, but Levi looked like a 7th round pick out there last nigh and isnt ready to play at this level yet. Not saying he doesnt have potential, just that he wont be ready to step into a game if our starter is out.
I think Ftiz will be in the most danger of being cut because of his salary, but then again, after Trents game last night they may keep Fitz and cut Trent if he keeps performing like that this preseason.
-
In all seriousness, if him and Simpson continue to have strong preseasons and camp, this team needs to seriously consider trading Lynch or Jackson (I would assume Lynchs value would be higher especially if he has a good preseason) and try to get some help somewhere at a weaker position or at least 2nd or 3rd round pick next year.
We can roll with Jackson and Spiller with Bell and Simpson for depth...
-
Hahaha posters like me huh? I've read everything you've said. I disagree with you. I"m allowed to have my opinion. Your too busy focused on how terrible you think trent edwards is you can't even pay attention to whats going on with the rest of the team. Its honestly pathetic. The OL played like garbage, the special teams played like garbage, our "Amazing" secondary played like garbage. its the first preseason, relax. The cowboys, bengals, chiefs, falcons, panthers first team offenses have all not scored a touchdown. hell the patriots havent passed for a touchdown with their first team yet. Seriously, its just preseason. this is when its OK to make mistakes and figure things out. A highly touted prospect that Green Bay gave a chance to and he couldn't beat anyone out there 2 years in a row for a back up job. thats laughable. he has had ample chances. Its called an opinion. What are you gonna say if Trent lights it up next game? Oh wait you prolly know thats not gonna happen... why should i even question that.
Yeah, posters like you is exactly what I meant. I have no problem with you having your own opinnion, hell if everyone had the same opinnion on this board it would be pretty boring. The issue with your posts is that you like to twist a request for a young prospect to get playing time into some kind of made up claim to his future greatness. Every poster who replied to your post said the same thing...NO ONE is saying he will be this or that, we just want to see the kid get a shot.
In fact, you are the only one making proclamations to what it will be like if he plays. We just want to see him play while you spout off coninuously that a kid who hasnt really played in the NFL yet is a bust and cant cut it. He may bomb, but he also may surprise and develop. No one knows (well nobody besides you) if he will do well or not, thats the point. Its time to find out because Trent and Fitz continue to show no reason to be optimistic that they are capable of being a starting QB in this league.
And FYI: Those other offenses played one or two series max, our first string offense played almost an entire half.

The first drive was nice. But as usual, we get close to end zone and we get a 5 yard pass to ML on 3rd and 10 or whatever it was. Was it just me, or did he looked scared when they lined up for that 4th and inches. It was obvious to everyone he wasn't going to run a play. That's leadership for ya.If you're gonna pull that pansy-a$$ move, you've got to at least sell it a little bit.
Say what you want about Fitz, but he did engineer an 85 yard drive. True he benefited from a nice run. But he completed several nice passes. The TD was extremely nice. He was pressured. Rolled out. didn't panic, and found him man for a TD pass. Nice work. he also didn't throw a pick.
The problem is for every nice throw he made he also made 3, 4 or 5 awful passes too including several just into the ground on short passes. One was one of the worst passes I have ever seen on 1st and 10 deep in our territory to start a drive. It looked like he threw a water balloon and the water ballon had broke in his hand. Thats how bad it was and it was a short pass to the flat.
-
Finally a good response. All these coaches on this board who have seen brohm and know he is NFL material. If he were soooooooooo goood like people say he is and is going to be, why has GB not seen starting or even back up material in him. And why hasn't Chan seen enough in him to make him a starter. There is obviously something not there. Chan sees him more than anyone, did you get that, he see's the plays this guy does MORE THAN ANYONE on this board. Obviously something is not there. Oh well.
How does that even make any sense? If Trent was so much better than Brohm then why is he even battling for a job? Why not name Trent the starter? Its because he has not been better enough to be named the starter and is still in a very OPEN QB competition right now.
So clearly Chan DOES see enough in Brohm in relation to our 3 QB's to have him involved in a 3 man race. Preseason game 1, Chan obviously wanted to take a long look at the Veterans first, and clearly they dissapointed. I would expect that Brohm gets a long look with the first or second unit next week.
And no one is saying he is "sooooooo good", they are saying lets see what he can do. Posters like you dont even bother to read the posts and just make up your own versions of what people write. No one is making any claims about how good he will be, they are saying the others clearly are not the answer so give the once highly touted prospect just 2 years ago a chance to see if he can do better.
-
According to everything I've read, the general consensus is that Trent has looked a little better than the others, but nobody has really stood out either way.
So, I'm guessing their general plan is:
- start Trent in the first two preseason games, plays most of the 1st half.
- Fitz gets to finish the first half, and at least some of the starters are still in there. Plays most of the 2nd half.
- Brohm does same in next week's game.
At that point, you re-evaluate, and determine how to allocate reps with the starters in the 3rd preseason game. Starters typically play the longest in this game, so there would be more chances for 2 QBs to both get reps with the starters.
In any event, you'll choose your starter no later than after the 3rd preseason game. The starters don't get enough reps in the final game to make that mean anything in the QB competition.
Yeah, I think thats exactly the plan...but I wish they would just move BB to QB 1 for next weeks game and bring Trent in with the 2nd unit...why wait, get the kid some reps with the first unit and give him a real shot to win this job.
-
I'm with you. I was dissapointed in not seeing Brohm tonight. Edwards just doesn't have it anymore, if he ever did. Fitz is better but that is not saying too much. I'd rather live or die with Brohm at the helm this year and see what he has. Its fairly obvious the others don't have it.
side note: haven't seen one comment from darth yet. that should be interesting.
Honestly, I would rather see Brohm start all year even if he too struggles in pre season. It takes real game reps to develop, so he may not light the world on fire in a few quarters in the preseason, but that doesnt mean that he cant develop with experience.
The one thing that I do know is that if he does struggle, it cant be anyworse than Trent and Fitz anyway. So why not go with the kid with room to develop rather than the two who have continously played inconsistent and down right bad most of their careers. So roll with him for the season and if he doesnt grow this year we grab a QB early in the 1st round or in FA next season and move on. He cant be any worse and at least provides hope...
-
Dean, I've said this for two years. The good/great QBs in the NFL throw the ball to WRs who don't appear to be open. Trent only seems to be able to pull the trigger if he sees daylight.
Until that is fixed, he's worthless.
Thats what I have been saying too! This guy waits until the WR is open, which in the NFL means he is no longer open!
-
Yet, oddly enough DeAngelo Hall had the instincts and quick-twitch to react to the ball, drive on it, pick it off, and go running down the sidelines the other way. It is a too much to ask for a superstar WR to be able to see and react to a play as it develops and make an athletic play and all.
Um, Hall was playing behind Lee and coming back to Lee as Trent stared him down while Lee was running an out to the sideline. But I guess Lee is supposed to be able to see through the back of his helmet and understand that Trent is taking an hour to deliver the ball with his weak arm like 12 yards down field. A QB with any kind of quality arm strength easily completes that pass as Lee was wide open when he started that throw, but a weak armed QB throwing off his back foot with his body momentum falling back ward and to the side throws an easy INT.
-
are you kidding me? seriously? that line was terrible. i'm not giving the qb any excuses but i love how ur giving the OL excuses.
Whoa now...I didnt say the O Line was good, I said they were not the reason we lost this game. There were plenty of times our QB's had time and threw terrible passes, check downs, etc.
In fact, in the first Qtr on 3rd and 13 Trent checked down to Lynch with NO...yes NO pressure on a 3 yard pass play.
Our O Line was far from great, but they gave all our QB's opportunities that they outright squandered several times.
-
Then Brohm deserves a chance to start next week and get some good reps in. I am guessing Trent will start and Brohm will come in with the 2nd unit and Fitz wont play with Levi in mop up duty, but in all fairness let the kid start. He may bomb or he may do well, but it doesnt matter, all today proved is that Trent and Fitz dont have it...so let the kid that we dont know enough about yet get some well deserved reps and play a quarter or two with the first unit.
-
We started this game with backups folks, backups versus Haynesworth & starters. We had 0 offensive chance and had almost 0 chance of mustering much more than a FG in the first half. The Skins played their starters the whole first half and it showed, so I would expect a different game come real time.
We also had several fantasy penalties & Corner should of had a pick 6 would would of made it a 3 point game at the time, next play swung it 14 points against.
Relax & let's have out first versus the rest of the NFL first, before killing yourself.
Our O line did NOT lose us this game...you either did not watch the game or you are some kind of QB apologists for this team. With time, our guys did nothing, made terrible throws, terrible decisions, terrible check downs. It was business as usual with these QB's...time to get Brohm some reps and pray he can do more out there than Trent and Fitz. If not, then we will not win more than 4 games, and I am an optimist for this new team.
-
I've been reading through the threads lately and all i see is " oh the bills will suck" or " Trent sucks" or " There is no hope".
Guys. Relax. It's the first preseason game for crying out loud. There are still 3 more preseason games to go. I guarantee that if we light it up in Toronto against Indy, everyone will be talking about us going unbeaten.
After watching this, here are some reasons on why we shouldntt panic just yet:
1. Our backups on D wont all be on the field during the regular season like today. I hope.
2. 3 o-line starters not playing.
3. Lynch and Jackson only played like half of the first quarter.
4. Edwards has nowhere to go but up after his performance today.
5. Our new coach might actually fix some of our mistakes
6. Steve Johnson looked pretty good, and will be the 2nd receiver
7. Poz, our best linebacker, didnt play.
8. There are still 3 more preseason games left to play
9. As my saying goes, in order to succeed, you must fail.
10. If Edwards can improve, and i think he will, the whole team will improve
The problem is that Trent looked exactly as he has always looked. Makes a couple of ok throws, then checks down on 3rd and 13 with NO pressure on him and throws a 3 yard pass to Lynch who had no blockers...then he scrambles a few steps out of the pocket and throws a weak pass off his back foot to the sideline for an INT when he doesnt have the arm strength to make that already dangerous pass.
Seriously, how was Trent any different than before tonight to give anyone hope he will get better? He hasnt gotten better since he left High School...what difference will 3 more preseason games make? Honestly, I just want to know what to pin the hopes of his improvement on.
The QB competition is irrelevant

You mean in practice where guys aren't going to hit him? Funny how he always seem to hit deeper balls and stands in the pocket in practice every year then goes out into the games and checks down on 3rd and 13 for a 3 yard pass to Lynch even when there was no QB pressure on that play...
So talk to me when Trent starts throwing medium to deep passes in games and doing so accurately
