So they show 3 plays that illustrate their point (out of 60-70) and that's definitive? Plays are like stats - they can pick whatever they want to say what they want to say. I've seem those guys use different plays from the same game to make 2 opposing points.
Not that Trent has been good the last few weeks...
LMAO...what do you expect the NFLN to do? Do you want them to show you 100 plays? I mean how much time do you think they have?
They chose a few plays to make their point...if it were just a few plays Trent did this on, it wouldnt have been reported on. But Trent does this ALL THE TIME and has been since last year. It takes some hardcore, coke bottle thick, rose colored glasses to not see it for yourself.

Nebraska is not a great team; however, the one guy that all the college experts has been talking about is a complete beast (Suh, #93). He is a defensive end that also occasionally lines up in the DT spot. This guy is a top 5 pick barring some injury, record, or work ethic issues. He was all over the place! The guy tracked a running back down a few yards after knocking the guy blocking him out of the way.
I know we drafted Maybin with the first pick last year, but Maybin will never be a great player in this league. Suh will. He plays strong run and pass defense. This is the guy we should be drafting if we have a top 5 pick.
Bank it. You heard it hear first.
Geezus, if I had a dollar every time someone said "this guy is a beast and will be the next great thing in the NFL" (in so many words) just to see him be marginal to a flat out bust I would probably own the Lakers by now...
Let me know when he does something in the NFL...I mean I can name several guys just in the last 5 years alone that were supposed to be sure things who are now marginal at best or on different teams (riding the bench), struggling to make teams, or out of the NFL all together...
And what is it with the fans that just refuse to give Maybin a chance before they label him a bust...rediculous...

Ralph' wife inherits the team. As his spouse, she is exempt from federal estate taxes. She then sells fractional shares of the team to whomever wishes to by them (maybe even Kelly's mysterious gang of high rollers will come out of the shadows).
This way, each "owner" has a relatively low debt to service, Ms. Ralph pays taxes only on the fraction that she sells--and makes a mint---and the coterie of local buyers will assure the team stays in Buffalo. They can all split the 20-30 million a year Ralph takes from the team.
Isn't this what Miami is doing?
No disrespect, but why do posters on here keep posting ways the Bills will move or how they can be saved as if anyone on here actually has any say, input, or influence on the outcome of where the Bills stay or go?
Truth of the matter is Bills and the group in LA have had talks, just as the group has had talks with other franchises...Ralph is either going to move the team or not...no suggestion or idea posted here will have any affect on that, all you can do is cross your fingers and hope one way or the other.
Me personally, I would love to see the Bills in LA as I live in LA, but I am fully aware that is not the popular choice...

Going to use yards per game for total rush/pass of the top 5 teams ass I feel that's a better indicator than overall yards.
For the top 5 rushing teams ypg their combined record is 19-5 with 3 undefeated teams saints/giants/broncos
for the top 5 passing teams ypg their combined record is 14- 9 with 1 undefeated team the colts and one team who had a bye week the chargers at 2-2.
Make of it what you want. Personally I believe a balance is far more important than leaning one way or the other, but overall I'd prefer to have a offense who's identity is that of a rushing offense compared to a passing team, as generally when it comes to the postseason it's the teams who can run the ball who are going to win games.
Look at your teams in the top 5 rushing...Saints and Giants both have a dominant passing game, which is why they can run so easily...if it wasnt for their passing game their running game wouldnt be top 5...

Ya know I've been thinking... Since 1999 we've had one QB who knew what he was doing, and as disappointing as he was it was Drew Bledsoe. Aside from him, we've had Rob Johnson, Alex Van Pelt, Kelly Holcomb, JP Losman, and now Trent Edwards.
Johnson had problems with holding the ball too long and either checking down or throwing a bomb.
Van Pelt... God Bess him he tried.
Kelly Holcomb: Captain Check down, took what defense gave him
JP Losman: Long bombs or check down. Also held onto the ball too long
Trent Edwards: Captain check down and is holding the ball too long.
In college these guys threw down field. I know the pro game is a world of difference, but there can't be a single one of the QB's we had, excluding Van Pelt and Bledsoe, that didn't want to throw it to the starting wide receivers and not the running back or slot receiver.
To me it's obvious that our last few coaches simply tell their QB's to take no risks with the football. QB is a position full of risks. Do you think Brett Favre wa thinking about throwing picks when he won that barn burner vs. San Fran a couple weeks ago? I know none of the guys we had are Favre, but even decent QB's take chances. It's like the Bills coach them to not lose instead of win.
We sit here year after year blaming the QB's, when to me it's clearly a lack of confident coaching that just ruins the play of every QB we've had. Thoughts?
Trent didnt throw downfield in college either and had only one 300 yard game and nearly a 1:1 TD to INT ratio...he is exactly who he was in college...

Edwards is probably only one or two more Pat LaFontaine hits away from concussion problems given the number of hits he has taken behind the least experienced NFL offensive line. That is, if he hasn’t already been having issues. Trent Edwards has been behind a sub-par line all through college and with the Bills. If you were QB of the Bills, would you want to have this collection of rookies and bench-sitters protecting you from 270 pound bull-rushing defensive ends and all-out blitzing safeties? Is it any wonder the guy is shell-shocked to the point where the first instinct is to bail-out? The OL is everything on offense and besides Edwards having issues, it will be tough to run the ball with a rookie OL. Would anyone be really surprised with a one-win season with the mess we have right now?
Edwards was shell shocked and sucked big time last year, our line was fine last year, so whats your excuse for his pitiflul year last year?

WILSON
Bills owner Ralph Wilson decided that making a coaching change in the middle of the season was not the right thing to do, at least for now.
"Yesterday was so bad that it's hard to make a decision right now," Wilson said prior to the Monday Quarterback Club luncheon. "I'm not going to make any decisions during the middle of the season right now. At least right now."
During the luncheon, Wilson tried to make light of his team's poor performance.
Not really that surprising...I mean who is going to take over? The more important change needs to be made at QB
-
Derrick Brooks is a pipe dream! They will bring in their own bargain retread and say that they brought him back because he knows the system.
Derrick Brooks has told way better teams NO, so its not a pipe dream becuase we wont call, its a pipe dream because he would never tell us yes when he has WAY better options, including his current job...
-
.....or is the inexperience of an O-Line and the undersize of the D-Line?
Treant has never had a Good Line!!
Not even in college!!
Its Trents fault more than DJ by a mile...better QB play gets us more points in NE which equals a win...better QB play wins us the NO game, hell, Brian Moorman probably could have beat Cle at QB...that equals 4-1 with better QB play, and all those wins definitely happen with a competent QB.
I dont want to hear about his QB rating in NE either...we left so many opportunities out there on the field becuase Trent just couldnt get the ball down field...which is why with essentially the same number of posessions NE had more than double our first downs...and first downs are a way more important stat than QB rating which rewards weak conservative play.
Dont get me wrong, the O Line hasnt been good (but other teams have been winning with bad O line play too), and I think DJ needs to be fired as this team just doesnt seem to have any passion or fire. However, if we had a decent QB we would be sitting 4-1 right now and DJ's job would be safe...

The best way for Ralph to move the team is to employ a coaching staff that fosters:
1.anger 2.disgust 3.apathy
amongst the local fanbase.
No wonder Dickless Jauron is his head coach.
Much less uproar will result in relocating a team that causes its fans much more pain than pleasure.
My analogy is a wife that:
cheats (1.anger), drinks excessively (2.disgust), and stops regular sex with the husband (3.apathy).
Before too long the husband naturally wants a divorce despite the consequences.
I suggest that by the time Ralph moves the team
...you'll be glad to see them GO despite the consequences.
GO BILLSThe depths of stupidity fanboys here will go to in order to create some conspiracy plan to justify the crappy product is hilarious...

We'll just have to agree to disagree. Lynch is faster, physically tougher, and makes quicker cuts. He's also a better receiver. I think Jackson is a nice player, btw. I don't mean to dog him. But the difference in physical talent seems pretty freakin' obvious to me.
What? I dont have a problem if you like Lynch over Jackson, but come on now with this he is a better reciver stuff and faster. Jackson plays with more game speed than Lynch and totally has better hands and runs better routes. Dont get me wrong, I like Lynch, but Jackson to me is a more complete RB mainly becuase Lynch still doesnt hit the hole fast enough or hard enough because he dances too much behind the line. He also drops too many passes...
-
Brooks has told several teams NO, teams way better than us, so why on earth would he tell the 1-4 Bills yes who have a joke of a QB that cant score any points even when the D plays well?
I mean seriously, think about it...he told other teams, teams with winning potential this year NO...he is not telling us yes
-
there is an option. And this option needs to be done. Wipe out that joke of a front office and install Holmgren (or equivelent) ASAP. The rest of the season can still be valuable time to evaluate and restructure.
Holmgren would have to want to be here too...two sides to the equation
-
Thank you. This was my exact thought in another post about Edwards. DA played worse than Edwards, but his team still managed to win. People can blame TE all they want, but he is far from the problem on this half assed team.
Really? Who was a bigger problem today? Our Defense only gave up 6 points, 3 of which came off a botched punt. Our defense has been playing well enough for us to win but our offense cant move the ball. Last I checked, Trent touches the ball on offense on every single play...seems to me that translates into him being a really big problem with the offense. Not to mention he looks downright terrible even when he has time to throw.
-
Let Bobby April coach out the season and work on getting a real head coach in here. I bet at least April would get SOME intensity and ballsy play out of the team.
Man, first you defend horrid play by a weak QB and now you asking the guy in charge of our second worst area on this team to take over as coach...how much credibility as a poster are you trying to lose in this thread?
-
OK OK before u over emotional felines get bent outta shape, just calm down
I think that the company line reigns supreme at that clueless joint. There is no reason for that unit along with their coordinator not to break ranks and call out the offense and the coaching that have rendered this team absolutely unwatchable and pathetic.
I mean how does Derek Anderson come out with a win in this GAME!!!!!!
The Bills defense are without their starting safeties and middle and outside linebackers and are still keepin the team in the game, while this putrid and pathetic offense keeps sputttering.
Come on Guys call someone out in public and maybe, just maybe,. someone might light a fire here, because Jauron is basically a walking corpse in coaching and personality terma
Derek Anderson got a win today MUCH like how Trent has gotten a large chunk of his wins...Cle won INSPITE of DA's QB play...
-
On April 2, 2009, the Bills traded Edwards (along with their first and third-round draft picks in 2009 and their first-round pick in 2010) to the Denver Broncos for Pro Bowl quarterback Jay Cutler.
Whoooooops.
But Trent is so much better than Cutler, just ask Magox, Southgeorgiabillsfan, Dog14787, etc...

Do you really think Ralph still wants win? Considering he will not pay for a proven NFL coach, he will not pay for a GM, he will not pay to keep talent. Considering NFL revenue sharing, Bills merch, beer and popcorn and a home sell out he is nowhere near the poor house. I think the dude is 91 and wants to live the rest of his days stress free. Sell 49% and let someon else make the calls.
You do ralize DJ was a coach of the year winner before he came to Buffalo right? He had proven something and DJ was MARV LEVY's guy, so why does everyone still say he doesnt want to win and wont pay for a proven coach? Second, he has paid to keep talent...he just extended McGee, paid for TO, extended Lee, Schobel, etc...JP didnt want to be here and asked for a absurd contract to get out of Buffalo just so he could sign for less in Phi.
The dude has more money than the next 5 generations of his family can spend, if you think its about the money you are crazy. His passion is football, not money...
We are no where near the bottom of the NFL in spending...

Accuracy
Really? wow...do you just look at the stats in the paper or watch the game? If you look at his completion % he looks accurate becuase he throws so many short dump offs that any 3rd string QB in the NFL can make with the same accuracy. But if you watch his down field throws they are wildly inaccurate, under thrown, over thrown, behind the recievers, defended passes, or INT's.
Trents accuracy has been a myth around here for a long time because it was masked by all his short completions, but he is in the bottom 5 amongst starters (nobody is worse than J. Russell) in the NFL today in downfield accuracy.
-
It's not the qb. It's the organization. Players are coachable. But How many qb's have come here with good upside potential yet never bloom. It all points to one thing.
My plight is with this horrible showing by our team, people immediately start calling out Edwards when they need to start at the top, especially at this point.
So, yes, people immediately bickering about Edwards after this COMPLETE sh*tty play of a team, need to delete their account until they get the bigger picture.
Hope this helps!
More like how many QB's come into the NFL and never develop? Try almost ALL of them...Trent does not have the tools to be a succesful NFL QB. Look at that INT downfiled trying to throw to TO...he didnt have the arm strength to get that ball to TO who beat his man by 3 yards for an easy TD...instead its 5 yards underthrown and its an INT.
He cant read defenses well, throws terrible on the run, has no pocket presence, and has very poor timing on his throws...factor in his lack of confidence, poor protection of the ball, and lack of balls to throw downfield and you have a guy who will soon be on the bench for the rest of his career.
-
or he does not really care.
1. The place was sold out
2. He sold lots of beer and popcorn
3. He sold lots of merchandise
4. And he will next home game too
Do you think a man as rich as him really cares at this point about money when he is nearing the end of his life? Anyone who thinks its about money is just crazy. He wants to win, keeps spending money to do so, unfortunately this team hasnt had a QB in over a decade and you wont win in the NFL without a QB or good coaching staff...its time to fire DJ and move on from the Trent Edwards failed experiment...until BOTH of those things happen this team will be in the garbage.
-
For the Trent Defenders, go back and watch the Chargers game from last week. Rivers got blasted aall game and still made the throws. RBuger got destroyed last year and still performed. Warner has Gandy as his LT and he still gets it done. Even when Trent has time, he is still bad.
Or look at the GB v Min game where Rodgers was a tackling dummy to the tune of Allen getting 5 sacks by himself that game and was pressured all night yet still had a productive game...
I Feel an upset is gonna happen today.

An upset today? Did we bench Trent and I missed it? Because we cant even beat Cle while their QB completes 2 passes let alone the Jets with Trent under center...
