Hey I'm new to the boards, but have been a life long Bills fan on the west coast and thought I could add some perspective from outside Western New York.
Last year all anyone talked about is how there was no way T.E could get the ball to Lee Evans because he was double covered every game. This year, after the first game the excuse was "both T.O and L.E were double covered all game."
This is Bull ****. Trent is playing scared and so is the coaching staff. The fact that they have not been able to open the offense up for over three seasons on a consistent basis shows a complete lack of ability and trust from the coaching staff.
T.E plays like a scared little girl....Tell me Brett Favre, Payton Manning, Jay Cutler, Phillip Rivers, Drew Brees, Carson Plamer, Kurt Warner, etc would have any issues dropping 20 yard pass plays in with the receivers and other play makers we have. The excuses IE: we played against a really good defense this week, or everyone was double covered every play..... are getting old really fast.
Good Quarterbacks find a way to make things happen and get their play makers the ball. Good coaches find ways to maximize the talent they have. Unfortunately we have neither.
