There's no question Trent has regressed over the past 3 weeks. Call it what you want, but his confidence is shot and his decision making ability is going down the crapper quick. I think the reason for this is he has completely lost confidence in his O-line to protect him. Trent is developing happy feet and the Bledsoe-pat because he's not sure where to go with the ball. I think whoever stated in another thread hit it right on the money when they stated Trent is looking at the rush first and then the receivers so he's late on his reads. So what can we do about it, if anything? Obviously our talent level on the O-line is lacking but that can't be corrected this season. I don't think you can change blocking schemes mid season. So I think the onus is on Turk to call a game that starts off with some "easy" passes and not abandon the run after 9 minutes in the first quarter. Where are the off tackle runs? The quick tosses to the flat? The wide receiver screens? I really think he's dropping the ball and needs to do a better job putting our players in a position to succeed. RTB

I love these posts about being a "real" fan, whatever the hell that means. I think I'm as passionate as most Bills fans, if I wasn't I'd find something better to do than to be continually disappointed and crushed on Sunday afternoons. To be skeptical of a team doesn't mean one isn't a true fan, and I'm very skeptical. I've been to every Bills game at Gillette for the past 5 years and watched this team not even SHOW UP at times while getting heckled by the worst fans in the NFL, Pats* fans. This is a must win for this team in my opinion. 0-3 in the division is not acceptable. I'm tired of relying on other teams to lose games instead of counting on ours to WIN the ones they need. We are going backward, getting worse, while NE is getting better. I want with all my heart to see us get out there and kick NE's ass in the trenches, shove them around, and win a close one. If we do that, we go to the playoffs. If we play hard and still lose, I can accept that and think we have a chance albeit a slim one to make the playoffs. If we go out there and lay another egg in NE, this team's fragile confidence is going to be crushed and I don't think we are going anywhere. I hope I'm wrong.

It always seems like someone has a "breakout" game against the Bills but usually its someone you haven't heard much about. It wouldn't surprise me at all if Moss torches us repeatedly today but I think its more likely Welker will do more damage. The only way we are going to generate any pass rush is with blitzing, and that's going to leave Welker on hot routes all the time covered by McKelvin or Corner. You have to double Moss on every play and instead of playing LBs close to the line, play them 6 yards back so they can react to draws, screens, runs, and PUNISH anyone who comes across the middle. If NE gets easy scores with Moss torching McGee or Greer this team is going to get absolutely destroyed. RTB

The biggest problem with this team is a complete lack of a consistent running game. Even if we get to the playoffs, we are going NOWHERE without the ability to run the ball. We have a lot of season to go, but they better figure it out quick because the cushion we had with our fast start is GONE and its going to be a dogfight for the playoffs. I just hope we are one of the dogs. RTB

8 men in the box and can't stop the run. GAME OVER

Why does this idiot Simms say we have gotten a pass rush with 3 guys? Everything about this game sucks!

The difference between now and the beginning of the year is that I actually expected them to come back against teams then. Now, I'll be happy but I just don't feel it. It looks like this team has given up which is hard for me to take. At least Edwards is throwing a little better. Edit: I spoke too friggin soon

I can't believe how much this team sucks today. Mistakes on every side of the ball and lackluster play. Game over. RTB

Holy crap can we catch a friggin break!?!?!?!

Whats with Trents innaccuracy? He's pressing a bit

Ok, this is the FG they should have had at the end of the first half. So, by that logic, this is really the first drive of the second half and they can start turning this train wreck around RIGHT FRIGGIN NOW!

Wow, its a win when you challenge a spot so you can punt the ball. That's pathetic.

3 and out. Great. Nice way to start jerks.

Wow. Just wow. I'm disgusted but only down by 6 with the way they have been playing? I'll take it. Better show up on the first drive and do something though. How about a toss sweep? It's obvious we can't run up the middle as usual. RTB

Sure could use some timeouts right here. Jerks.

Poz finally made a play. He's been taking bad angles all day. 3rd and 12. I'm not confident.

Jesus Christ this is 6 straight quarters of horrible football! Can't run the ball worth crap, Jauron making horrible decisions on challenges, our D has NO PASS RUSH, Trent making horrible decisions and coughing up fumbles. How much can we be expected to take?! WTF?!?!?! WAKE UP YOU A**HOLES!! Earn your money! I'm so friggin sick of this team sometimes. Rant over. RTB

There's plenty of time for 2 possessions if they run the 2 minute drill once they get some breathing room. 8 minutes is a lot of time but there can't be any more mistakes and they've been making a lot.

This is the first game where it seems like this team just thought they could just show up and win. Sloppy play calling, dropped passes, TOs, etc. Our D needs to step up and make a play. Only Buffalo could make Ted Ginn look like a pro bowler. McGee is absolutely getting toasted. RTB

God awful. He's gotta know better than that.

Our D has just been destroyed the last 2 drives. So much for adjustments. My god.

Bad call on 3rd down. I don't mind running but a misdirection play when they are obviously bringing the heat sucks. Id like to see the toss sweep on that one.

Miami is playing a lot of 5 and 6 DBs. Trent should be audibling to a run when the down and distance is reasonable and we should be shoving it down their throats. Trent is checking down so much because they are blanketing the receivers with a lot of dbs RTB

This is late but did anyone think Ricky fumbled at the end of that long screen play?

You are absolutely right. More like the U of M crowd picked their "guy" even if he didn't got to the U I guess. RTB
