It's amazing what a substandard QB can do for a WR. Look no further than Cutler. Last year Eddie Royal comes out of no where and has a great year with Cutler as his QB. This year with Orton, he's got 8 catches for 58 yards (7.3 avg) and zero TDs. Transition to Chicago, with Cutler, another unheard of rookie (Johnny Knox) is the all the rage with 14 catches for 190 yards (13.6 avg) and 2 TDs. So is it a coincidence or is it having a good QB? So before we all rag on Evans, let's first ask the very basic question, does he have an NFL caliber QB throwing to him? Taking the good with the bad, I think we all have to conclude that the book is still very much out on Edwards. He may be good one day, but I find it hard to believe anyone can call him good now. Perhaps its all the O-line. I could see that. But, with regards to Evans, it doesn't change the argument. He has a QB throwing the ball to him that looks scared at best. Fix the QB (either with a new Oline with a new player) and perhaps then we can discuss what the WRs are doing.

I'm thinkin the only solution is to build a new stadium, but instead of one of those fancy retractable roofs, we create a vacuum. Maybe they need the absence of any type of atmospheric influence to perform adequately.

I wouldn't' called it veiled at all. He's saying what we all are - he's just not using words like "Dick" and "sucks".

Because the biggest problem with this team is they're not moving forward. We've had the same regime now for roughly 3-4 years. We have no more depth than we did when Jauron got here. So, once the starters get injured, which they always do, the guy off the bench is unable to contribute effectively - except in very rare circumstances, i.e. Fred Jackson. The defensive scheme is still just as pathetic as it was in day one. The players are still making the same mistakes, still playing too soft in their zones, still guessing as opposed to knowing. The offense is still without an identity. We don't run well. We don't pass well. We just go out run some plays and hope the defense gives us enough to get a few first downs. Our coaching staff still doesn't make any adjustments, what so ever. They still look listliss and confused for the most part. Jauron still makes at least 2-3 idoitc calls per game that cost us. He's still content with just seeing these guys try. Oure "franchise" QB, Trent, has not progressed one bit since his rookie year. All the good things we saw in those first few games are still there; but he's not gotten better at any of them. He's still slow to read the defense, hesitant to throw the ball to WRs, and not taking charge of the team. Defenses have figured him out; but he's still seeing new things from 3-4 defenses. So every year, we make a few moves here, a few changes there. We cut a little. Add a little. But in the end, the net is still the same - we've gone no where. It's reflected in the win/loss record. It's reflected in the play on the field. It's reflected in the player's press conferences. It's reflected in the fan's discussions about the team. It essentially permeates every aspect of this team. This franchise has become a stagnant pool of mediocrity. And, quite honestly, I don't think anyone at One Bills Drive cares.

Not that I want to give anyone on this team credit for anything, but does that somewhat coincide with Whitner getting injured? Could it be that he's as important to our defense as Troy is in Pittsburgh or Sanders is in Indy? If so, perhaps he's not the total waste of a pick like so so often suggest.

Good point. I guess it would be good to see which players are potentially worth keeping as well.

Why should we as fans care when it seems no one in the organization cares? So, yep, Jauron has pretty much sucked the life from us all.

I see the logic, but does it matter if Jauron is fired now or later? There's no way we hire a good coach mid season. So, we get April or someone like that to finish the season. Wooo. That does nothing for me. I don't know; I guess I just don't really care much because I can't see anything really helping this team anytime soon. Maybe we could have a fan voted "coach of the week" each week. At least that would be interesting.

Let me ask this... does it really matter if we lose or win next week? If we win, is anyone really going to point to it and say.. see we're on the right track? A win would simply mean they somehow mananged to not completely suck for a week. But in no way can I see it changing the way any rational person sees this season ending.

Duh... have you seen this team make ANY in game adjustments? No. So, if Fitz comes in, who receives the plays from AVP and relays them in to the QB?

Count me in. Absolutely no way he could be worse. In Chroise we trust!

Did you watch the game today? I'm guessin not.

This game was brutally bad. Absolutely nothing of value came out of it. Nothing. I record all games as I watch them. I hit the stop and delete by mid second quarter.

People on ludes should not post.

I'm certain that in the Bills locker room they have turkey sandwiches and warm milk while listening to Sarah McLachlan B sides. No way anyone comes out that flat, that often.

Yep it was horrendously uninspired... stuff. Just pathetic. pathetic. And to think the defense was saying they were going to have to be physical today. Is that what they call physical?

3rd and !@#$ing 6 and he checksdown !! You gotta be !@#$in kiddin me. Sit the damn son of a B word on principle!

He's probably drinking heavily by now. Cut him some slack... he's watching the Bills game.

Once again Trent is absolutely afraid to throw the ball into the end zone! WTF!

Down by 4 touchdowns and we're stil ltrying to establish the run game?

Not to mention it was in the end zone. I'm fairly certain there's something in Trent's contract that prohibits him from throwing a pass into the end zone.

Well its all over now. Nothing left to do but make up some excuses. I wonder what we'll learn from this one?

Lions driving on the Bears, trying to make a game of it. edit: Bears sack Stafford. FG instead of TD. 34-24. 8 minutes left.

Bears pulling away efrom the Lions. They scored on the 1st two series of the 3rd quarter. 31-21 Bears And right on cue... flip back to the Pats*. Unsportsman-like conduct against the Ravens bench.

Everytime I switch to another game; they're playing football. Then I flip back to the Pats* game and the refs are calling a penalty.
