Since you are sticking to the topic, all of the above.
You can also add opposing defenses, dropped balls and crappy O-line play as contributing factors.
I said pass "attempts", so how are dropped balls a culprit?

Yeah mitchell did wonders for them..he was the one who caught that amazing pass at the end of the game. Nice try.
What does this have to do with Mitchell? Just because of that play doesnt mean Mitchell wasnt a very valuable part of that defense. I am friends with Antonio Pierce (knew him from college and also helped him with his house here in LA) and let me say, he really didnt want to see them lose Mitchell. He kept telling me how good of a signing he was for us when we got him and how it was a big blow to their defense.
Of course, rather than just appreciating the compliment of Mitchell in this post, I am sure I am going to get flamed for the "unbelievable" claim I know Antonio as if knowing an NFL player is so far fetched...so flame on...

Thank God Captain Checkdown was not our FG holder or he would have never thrown the ball!
hahahaha, priceless...seriously laughed out loud at this...nice

I thought I saw this and recall that an announcer made some comment on it. Given Trent's inability to play against the 3 - 4 defense Gregg Williams decided to run almost exclusively the 3 - 4 especially for us instead of their normal mix with the 4 - 3.
http://www.buffalonews.com/452/story/811043.html
"The Saints usually play a 4-3 defense, but Williams has employed a lot of 3-4 this season. Given how the Bills have struggled with the 3-4 scheme, it's no surprise that Williams used it almost exclusively on Sunday."
The struggle continues.
Yup, thats called coaching...every team in the league knows we stink against a 3-4...did people actually think only the fans knew...lol

How about stop wasting folks time with your idiotic posts. If you can't rationalize things can change from game to game along with folks opinions, that's your own problem not mine.
One, you always say I am delusional, crazy and stupid every time I have said our lack of WR involvement is going to be a big problem...now you flip flop and say the same thing here after trying to bash this very point I made in another thread this very week...
And two: You didnt answer the question (as usual)...so I will ask again:
Who is the most responsible for the lack of pass attempts to TO and Lee?
A) AVP
B) Trent
C) Lee and TO
Simple question...

Alphadawg football is not your sport. You shouldn't even bother watching it. I think you should take up cooking.
This coming from the guy every poster not named dog14787 pretty much sees you as a waste of time and a worthless poster. Plus you have been slammed by the mods several times for your rediculous attacks and garbage you spew...in fact, your post earlier (the one I replied to) has been flamed by everyone responding to it...but keep trying
In reference to your hobby suggestion...I played football through college and I am actually a pretty good cook. In fact, I am making Lobster stuffed chicken with manchego chesse garlic mash potatoes and sauteed spincah for my girl tonight to celebrate the big raise she got a work yesterday...so I guess I have the best of both worlds, football and cooking, so thanks for the tip
However, you cant be a real poster...no one can spew as much gibberish as you and be serious...if you are, then you might just be a beer short of a six pack...I would bet you are a formerly banned member just trying to stir the pot with your wild claims and absurd posts.

I have a feeling we will see more Freddie than Lynch the first week or two just on the mere fact of Freddie is hot and Lynch has sat the first 3 weeks. And if Lynch doesnt find some success in his opportunities out there, we might see a shift to Freddie during the season as the guy getting the bulk of the touches.
So, IMO, Lynch has some pressure to maximize his touches over the next few weeks...

Jon Gruden also hates young QB's, especially ones that play like Trent.
This comment was not only fabricated, it shows how ignorant you are.
Gruden himself has stated countless times he prefers a vet to a young QB...look at his body of work at every stop in the NFL and it shows you the same thing...
So how is this fabricated? Ok, I will change the way I wrote it...
"Jon Gruden prefers veteran QB's over young QB's, so if he came to Buffalo he more than likely brings in a Vet to at least push Trent and Trent would likely be on a very short leash"
Is that better? If you have a problem with Gruden prefering vets to young QB's, then go take it up with him...
-
It doesn't change the fact though that Lee Evans and T.O. have basically been used as very expensive decoys so far this season. Josh Reed is the top receiver with only 10 receptions.
hahahaha, man you are priceless...you flip flop more than anyone I see on here. You have been arguing in every thread I see you in that AVP is AMAZING and calling a perfect game, Trent has been AMAZING and that I am crazy for saying the WR's absolutely MUST be involved more. Now you are finally acknowledging our WR's have been totally ignored and that its a problem?
Dude, which is it? I mean, you say AVP is the real deal and calls perfect games...you also say Trent is basically the smartest most talented QB in football (including saying he is more accurate and smarter than Jim Kelly)...so who do you blame for lack of WR involvement? Are you saying TO and Evans arent good enough WR's?
-
WR's 24 receptions, TE's 17 receptions, RB 15 receptions
lmao...When neither Lee Evans nor TO have more than 10 catches after 3 games and they are both on your team, then you have big problems...
But, with your rose colored glasses I am sure you still think Trent is better than Jim Kelly as you previously have stated...
-
If Fabrications by Alphadawg is the voice of reason, you need some real help.
Please show me one fabrication...
-
Correct me if I'm wrong anyone, but didn't Jon Gruden comment on liking Trent Edwards on the Monday night opener against the Pats.
I think it went like this, "I like this Trent Edwards"
Correct me if I am wrong, Gruden hasnt coached Trent, isnt commenting on how he would run a team, doesnt study film on him as he has never faced him, and his comments have zero reflection of how he would coach a team...
You do realize that he is an ANALYST and professional BROADCASTER now, and his comments literally have no reflection on what he prefers in his own coaching style?
Geezus
-
You singled out TE in your post, not just young QB's.
I also called my post an opinion and you basically put words in Jon Grudens mouth that was all conjecture on your part.
First off, talking about Gruden is pointless
Secondly, Gruden himself said he much prefers a vet to a young QB...this is common knowledge
-
Except for his first game back against the Chargers where he absolutely torched them with fearless and devastating down field throws. It is beyond absurd to me that after Trent has continually proved time and again that he has all the physical and mental tools to be a great and effective QB that can lead a team to victories that people still want to call for his head after one bad performance.
Look the first two games of the season our O line played unbelievably well and Trent looked like the TRUTH. Then all of a sudden a team manages to exploit us there (where we already knew was our biggest weakness heading into the season) and all of you homers want to blame Trent?? Makes no sense whatsoever.
Trent is a good QB. Don't expect him to be benched, or replaced via trade, free agency or the draft. It IS NOT going to happen. They are going to let this entire team continue developing because there is a lot of potential here and Trent is an integral part of it.
No QB in the history of football has great games every week, and when under the kind of pressure that Trent faced this past week, even the greatest QBs of all time look timid and pedestrian. So why don't you stop with all these brainless and inane arguments.
I am thoroughly convinced that the number 1 problem with the Bills organization is its unbelievably ignorant fan base.
hahahahaha, you are hilarious...torched SD with fearless devastating downfield throws? you are priceless...I assume you mean the same game where Trent had just ONE TD, and a modest 261 yards? Thats your idea of "torch"? And it was against one of the worst D's in the league...hahahaha...I mean seriously dude. Evans didnt even have 100 yards and averaged a poor 11 yards per catch. If you take out his one 20 yarder and he averaged just 9 yards per catch the rest of the game...so how is this "torching with fearless devastating downfield throws?
I love how people like you bring up one or two games and ignore the other 20+ games where he struggled to move the ball and never throws to his WR's...funny how those few games are also against terrible defenses too...
And Trent only looked like the "truth" to you in the first 2 games...most of us saw a gaping problem with our offense in its lack of ability to get the WR's involved, and its clearly on Trents shoulders as WR's keep getting open and he just doesnt fire the ball.
-
Good pickup, I think he has some upside
-
Saw this on CNNSI.com
http://www.fannation.com/truth_and_rumors/...ick?eref=fromSI
Vick in Buffalo? He can throw the deep ball, and could utilize Evans and TO much better than Edwards.
This isnt a rumor and Vick is not on the trading block...why post it? Its just someone speculating on whether the Eagles should put Vick on trading block given the number of QB's they have and the number of QB needy teams...

Um, he was actually a phenomenal coach for the Raiders. If not for the tuck rule and the dirtiest play in a big game in the last decade (Tony Siragusa's leap onto a prone Rich Gannon's shoulder in the first quarter of the AFC championship game), he may have gone to two Super Bowls.
People said DJ did a phenomenal job in Chi too and even won coach of the year...whats you opinnion of him?
He had a much bigger body of work in TB and he took a perennial SB contender, dismantled it, and couldnt put it back together ever again. His drafts were terrible, but most importantly, and I mean MOST importantly, his players didnt trust him (as so stated by his former players and the TB front office) When your players dont trust you, you will NOT have much success in football.
-
Pure speculation on your part.
Jon Gruden is still young and will only get better with experience in my opinion. All you have to do is listen to the guy talk football to get a true sense of what kind of a football mind he really is and Jon Gruden knows and loves the game of football. We listen to many head coaches in the media and Jon Gruden strikes me as one of the more passionate, intelligent and exciting HC 's in the league, but that's just my personal opinion.
I like Jon Gruden...
I love how you write speculation when Gruden himself says he prefers vets to young QB's, hence the stockpile every year in TB. THen you follow it up with a post thats all speculation yourself...lmao
-
Ok, we get it. You hate Trent. Well he's the Bills' QB this season so you don't have to watch. It's funny that guys like yourself were silent after the first 2 good games and now after a bad one just pop up again. Go Bills
hahahaha, then you werent on the boards after the first 2 games...I was all over the boards the first 2 games, and was not silent at all on the Trent topic. I said after both the NE and TB games that we MUST get our WR's involved and that until Trent does we wont win many games...
I said his outings were encouraging, but not great. The fact he barely threw to TO and Lee in terms of targets in both games concerned me...and the NO games showed EXACTLY why its a problem.
-
If Jon Gruden took over and could not get the results he wanted from TE, then he would do whatever he thinks is necessary.
Trent Edwards is a Jon Gruden type QB though in my opinion, TE's intelligent, accurate and he takes care of the football. Gruden could care less about having a high powered passing attack, he wants to win ball games any way he can, period.
I think Gruden would be licking his chops at the possible potential of the Buffalo Bills from a talent standpoint.
Come on Dog, be realistic here...do you even watch Trent play? He is NOT accurate...sure when he throws 2-7 yards, but he is not a very accurate down the field passer. He has made some throws, but for every good throw down field he throws 2 or 3 bad ones.
Protects the ball? He has more turnovers than TD's in his career. He even fumbled 9 times in 12 games last year...
Gruden could care less about a high powered passing attack? hahahaha, man you know nothing about Gruden...thats exactly what his offense is based on...a high powered passing attack...
I agree, this team has enough talent to be attractive to another coach, but come on with all statements about how great Trent is at things he is not great at...
-
Everyone is real high on Jon Gruden coming to Buffalo including myself, Well, Jon Gruden is real high on Trent Edwards and if he becomes HC for the Buffalo Bills TE is not going anywhere soon...
We just revamped our O-line, have another inexperienced and new OC who had 1 week to prepare for the season and a couple of Quacks for a HC and GM/ or whatever he is that let it all happen. Jon Gruden, being the intelligent fella that he is understands as much and could take this football team with the talent it has and turn it into a playoff contender.
Jon Gruden is over rated. After winning the SB with Dungy's team in a game where even Keyshawn said they had a massive advantage as they knew everything Oak was going to do, he went on to run that team in the ground. Never had a back to back winning season after that until his last 2 years where he went 9-7 both years and only made playoffs once, had a worse collapse last year then we did losing four straight to end the season after they were leading the division with 4 games left and missed the playoffs.
Is he an upgrade over DJ, sure, but there are other coaches out there that are better choices.
And more importantly, when how and where is Jon Gruden coming to Buffalo? Are you talking about that BS rumor someone heard about a limo company picking him up at the airport yesterday? I mean how gullible can you be on this board when Gruden was on Monday night football in another state yesterday...
Jon Gruden also hates young QB's, especially ones that play like Trent.

The Bills had a great offensive game plan for the Patriots, and yet failed badly against the Saints.
They knew Greg Williams was going to bring the heat, and he did...all game long. It bothers me to say it but AVP failed to compensate correctly and adjust with more draws and quick screens. If the DE's are coming full speed then you work to run to the spot they vacated. He is young and learning as he goes, hopefully he will get better.
I'd get TO into the game plan way more then he is,with end arounds, line him up in the slot, play him at tight end, reverse, double reverse, fake reverse. That guy should be touching the ball at least 12- 15 times a game, or more. He is still the best play maker on the Bills roster, not getting TO the ball is plain stupid. Your paying the guy 6 mill a year, let him earn it !!!!
Let me get this straight...We have one of the most prolific pass catching WR's in the history of football, and your idea for him to get more involved is a reverse, double reverse, and fake reverse? Line him up at Tight End too?...wow
Geezus, ever heard of THROWING him the ball?????? Is our QB such a panzy that we have to hand the ball off to our Elite WR's in order for them to touch it?
Why is it every other #1 and #2 WR's in the NFL find ways to get into position to catch passes from their natural position of WR? ITs becuase when they do, their QB throws it to them.

9 years without a playoff appearance. 13 years without a playoff win.
Some of the most debilitating losses in team history since 2006. HC who has no guts. HC, as Jerry Sullivan points out, is 2-21 against winning teams since 2006.
If you'd like to be optimistic, keep living in fantasy world. Nothing has changed.
2-21 against winning teams...hmmm, who was the starting QB during most that stretch? Could it be he wasnt good enough to get us wins as the starting QB? I only ask because in almost every one of those 21 losses our team was in position to win late in the game, but our combo of JP and Trent played so badly in those losses we couldnt pull it out.
That being said, we need a change at HC too, but our QB (both trent and JP) have literally been as big of a factor, if not bigger, in almost all those losses.
this IS whats wrong with the offense

Very good points....
Ive been saying the same thing since last season. Trent has this mythical rep about how smart he is as a QB, but its actually just the opposite. He may be a very smart guy (although going to Stanford doesnt make you smart when you were heavily recruited, it just means you can play ball and they wanted you to play ball there), but it hasnt translated to his ability to read coverages or defenses.
He has yet to demonstrate the ability to consistently look off defenders, recognize coverages early enough, throw to where his target will be open (as opposed to waiting for him to be open which is often too late), etc etc. Of Course, when I point this out I get flamed by the people who dont know anything about football that I just hate Trent and I am on a crusade...
Myth #2 about Trent is that he is VERY accurate: He actually isnt...he looks accurate on the stat sheet after throwing a bunch of short simple throws that any 3rd string QB could make. Becuase that is the bulk of his throws, it pads his accuracy stats. But if you watch him in game, his mid level to deep balls are not very accurate and are tough catches for his targets, underthrown, makes the reciever break stride to catch them, or not even catchable...of course the devout Trent supporters will argue to death that he is so accurate because of his completion %.
I am sure someone is going to pick out 1, 2, or 3 passes like the TO drop and Evans TD to show how accurate he is at the deep ball all the while completely ignoring the many many more mid to deep throws that were not on target. He is an NFL QB, of course he is going to hit some nice throws, even 3rd stringers do, but that doesnt mean he is great or consistent at it.
