I voted No. Still at 3%. Who are those people?
I also voted Yes for Wade Phillips just because I hate the Cowboys and want them to continue to see them LOSE and LOSE often. He's at 14% Yes.

Remember Bill Clinton' line "It's the economy stupid"
It's the line. End of story. You can't make any decision about the QB, the WR's, the RB's, or even AVP with the makeshift o-line that was trotted out there Sunday.
I think you're right to a point. But really, when Trent does have time to throw he still does the same thing. He had plenty of time to throw when he threw the pick six. Didn't help. He's just not very good.
Do you really think if we had Big Ben or Joe Flacco we'd be getting the same poor production from the QB spot?
-
I'd put it at:
50 % Trent
30 % OLine
20 % scheme
This is Trent's third OC. Do they all have bad schemes? Maybe, but I haven't noticed any difference in his play form OC1 to OC2 to OC3. My theory is that Turk and now Alex have tried to open it up but Trent just won't throw it to the WRs with any consistency for whatever reason. Pathetic.
We'll suck as long as we have Trent and Dick running things.
My prediction: Trent will be out of the NFL next year.

Depends on what the definition of "California QB" is. Troy Aikman went to UCLA, but he is from Oklahoma. Joe Montana was from Pennsylvania before he went to ND.
-
I don't recall many games where he had a bunch of clutch performances. He's a good #2. That's it.
Did you see the one where he caught it on his helmet for a TD in a winning effort last year? Lee's OK. He just needs a real QB to throw him the football.
-
Relax. It means nothing. There is a picture in the Seattle paper today of Edge James shaking hands and smiling with Peyton Manning after the 34-17 drubbing the Seahawks received. This is the least of my worries regarding Trent.

I'm going with resignation. You gotta be optimistic, right?

Dungy and crew could not understand how they don't totally stack the box and make a 1st game rookie beat you.
I didn't understand it either. This punk was in his first start in the NFL. We only rushed 4 and tried to cover like he was Phillip Rivers or Peyton Manning or something. Pathetic. What do you think Rex Ryan or Dick LeBou would have done? This frustrates me becase for the first 5 or 6 games of last year and the Dallas game in 2007, our defense showed we can be very effective bringing the blitz often. Make their QB throw before he wants and let one or our good DBs get a pick. I've defended Perry but am not so sure any more. But then again, I think the whole prevent thing is what Dick tells Perry to run. We should have treated Henne the way our opposition treats Trent. Blitz until he proves he can beat it. Either way, the head coach is responsible.
I mean Trent sucked and all, but the freakin' game plan sucked. Fred Jackson, 4th highest rusher in the whole NFL going into that game, gets 9 carries? He should have had 9 carries in the first quarter. Lynch had 8 carries. The only thing Lynch should be doing right now is blocking for Fred. Why didn't we line up in a normal set with TE under center and ram it down their throats? Then go with play action apsses. Instead we get TE in the shotgun handing off to Lynch.
We had a bad scheme on offense and defense. Dick has been a head coach in the NFL for what 7 seasons or so and continues to get outcoached by 1st or 2nd year guys.
Fire Dick now!

I would start Fitz and see how he does.
Me too. At this point we can be realatively certain Trent ain't taking us anywhere this year. We still have 12 games left and are only 2 back. Why not try Fitz against the Clowns? What could it hurt? Maybe he can have some success and get this team rolling with some confidence. In preseason whenever Trent came out not being able to complete anything more than 3 yards, Fitz would on his first pass hit a guy 20 yards downfield. Saw it twice. If he sucks, put Trent in at half time and let him try to be the savior. Maybe that would motivate him.
I just don't think Trent has the fire in his belly to be a winner in this league. Why else would you thorw a checdown on 4th and 18 or whatever on your last gasp of the game? Woud Big Ben or Peyton Manning or Flutie or Jimbo or Roget Staubach do that?
When everything goes well and the running game is working, etc. he looks like Joe Montana. If not, he looks clueless.
I'm officaily off Trent bandwagon. Been off Dick's since Clowns game last year.
We need a new coach and a real QB. End of story.
-
Maybe this is Trent' problem. Lifted this quote from Jimbo's article talking about Chad Henne: "To be successful quarterbacks need to react not think. Any time you can get a quarterback thinking while the play is unfolding they’re done."
Sound like anyone we know?
-
Zorn? Zorn? I never thought I'd say this but if that's really the alternative give me Jauron.
If Ralph can hire Del Rio to come in right here right now, I say pull the plug on Dick and bring him on in.
As a side not on Jack, my brother says his name sounds like the new burger at Jack-In-The-Box. "I'll take a Jack Del Rio and a large order of fries and one of those big ass cokes."

Did you see him run down that guy in the TB game? Didn't look like he was laying down to me. He had a nice 20 yard punt return against TB. If anything, on the returns I think he's trying too hard to break every one. If there's nothing there, he should just go down and not try to wiggle around to get more. That just causes penalties and fumbles.
Roscoe could be OK if they just threw pass play designed for him to get the ball in the open so he can run with it. Like we did in the Jets game in 2007. That was beautiful. We should do it again this Sunday.
-
I'm hoping that Perry doesn't dial up the bend but don't break prevent, but I'm afraid he might. If he dials in a blitz the pee-jeebers defense like he did against Dallas in 2007 (until the last half of Q4) we win big. Henne's a rookie. I don't care if he's got a cannon for an arm or not. He's not seen the kind of heat we can bring if we just decide to do it. Either way our DL is better this year and we may able to generate enough heat anyway.
My greatest fear is that they hold the ball like they did against Indy. That could work against us. Trent would be cold when comes in and we could flounder.
I'm thinkin' we're gonna win this thing though.
-
Because you have absolutely NO WAY of knowing whether the plays suck or the execution sucks. ZERO.
(Unless you're a Bills coach, or know the plays, their different derivatives and have access to game film)
Well, if we're sitting in the stands and see WRs open (which I have) and Trent not throw it to them and instead go to RBs behind the LOS, what does that make you think? Makes me think it's execution by our QB and not the plays themselves. But that's just me.
-
His deep passes don't look that great, either. They kind of flutter and are off the mark.
I tend to disagree on this. His long passes are fine when he throws them. He completed 2 against TB. Maybe they weren't perfect, but they certainly got the job done. There are no style points in football. The one to TO he dropped traveled 50 yards in the air and was dead on the money. What else do you want?
Trent has the physical tools to be good. It's a mental thing. As Yogi Berra said "80% of the game is half mental".
-
He is not 100% to blame here. The coaches call nothing to get Evans or Owens in a miss match. They run nothing across the field or even in motion. Put Evans in the slot and watch defenses go crazy. There is no originality in this offense. Watch Fitzgerald and Johnson. The best WR's in the game and 9-10 always open.
He may not be 100% to blame, but he's at least 90% to blame. Anyone who has been to a Bills game in the last 3 years and watches the WRs can tell you they're open often but not thrown to. It's hard to tell on TV. But, ow many games have you watched where the announcer says he's got guys open but not throwing to them? I've seen a bunch. In Trent's 3rd year as starter with his third OC I have confidently come to the conclusion that it doesn't matter what you do, Trent's going to the TE and RBs 75% of the time or more. Were Fairchild, Turk and now Alex all calling and designing passes to TEs and RBs on seemingly every play? I hope he can straighten this out. I'm almost to the point where I wish the coaching staff would tell him to knock it or you're benched and then follow through if he doesn't.
I also don't buy the "he doesn't have time to throw" excuse either. If he's got time to drop back, look long and not throw there, and then find Fine or Fred short and throw it to them, he's got enough time. No QB in this league has time to drop back, eat a banana, and then go through a long list of progressions and make an informed decision on who to pass it to and then throw a strike.

Feed Fred.
Fred 20 carries Lynch 10 carries TO 3 carries

Chris Kelsay, perennial TSW whipping boy, had a monster game vs. Aints. He totally dominated on both run and pass plays. I was impressed. Guess I've been reading too much TSW! Best game I've seen him have since Cowboys MNF 2007. Hope to see more of it.
Highest rated guy on the defensive stat sheet:
Defense T-A SCK INT FF
C. Kelsay 6-2 1.0 0 0
Perennial whippers should eat some crow on this one.

youre right about one on one coverage, but watch closer on deep balls, the ball is hiked and he just throws it, no helmet or eyes moving across the field. I knew on every deep throw this year that he was going deep by his drop and how he reared back. If I can tell before he even throws it, It's obvious hes already made up his mind. how do you defend the insta dump offs? look again.
He did that 3 times vs Tampa Bay with 2 going for TDs and one a drop. Last week aginst NO he missed badly on 2 like this to TO. As long as it's a good throw I don't see the problem. Sometime reading isn't needed. As far as QBs throwing bombs, his success rate has been pretty good this year. 3 of 5 as I see it.
We know our pass blocking is suspect, so why not more plays where he has no reads? Just drop back and throw it. When CB is 10 yards off TO, wing him a pass out there quick. No thinking, just throw. Let TO make a play. He can do it. Send TO or Lee ten yards downfield and cut to the sidelines. Trent throws it before he makes his cut. No read, just go to Lee or whoever. Would be hard to stop and gain confidence I'd think. But then again, I don't have a degree from Harvard.

Why all the Wade hate? We never should have fired him. These are facts collected off of his Dallas Cowboy website bio:
"During the 1998-2000 seasons as head coach in Buffalo, the Bills compiled a regular season record of 29-19. Phillips took the reigns after a disappointing 6-10 finish in 1997 and reversed the team's fortunes by leading it to a 10-6 record and the playoffs in 1998. It was the most successful campaign of any first-year head coach in Bills history. His 1999 team led the NFL in total defense, went 11-5 and earned another trip to the postseason. The Bills finished 8-8 in 2002 - his last season in Buffalo. The Bills were 16-9 under Phillips in his three years at the helm after the start of November."
We sure could use a coach like that around here now! Even his last year 8-8 sounds pretty good about now ...

Last year in the first game anyway, it wasn't the Wildcat that beat us, it was Ted Ginn. Who said Chad can't throw long? Hopefully Perry figures out how to stop him this year.
Here's my plan to defense the Fish:
When Henne is in, blitz him hard and heavy. He's a rookie who hasn't played much. If he can beat that which is doubtful, go back to bend but don't break stuff.
When Henne is out (Wildcat), put a spy on each of the running backs. Just follow them wherever they go. If one of them sneezes, hand him a kleenex. This is how Notre Dame defeated the Wishbone and it would work for this too.
Or just play stout run defense like we did last year. I'm really not worried about it.
On offense go to TO early and often. Also run the ball down their throats.
Go BILLS !!

I am tired of seeing the players look lifeless like their coach and one has to wonder if they secretly feel that wayt also.
Please explain this. When I watch the Bills games I see guys giving 100% for 60 minutes. They are often put in bad positions by the coaching staff. Sometimes they make mistakes but they play very hard. This is how I see it anyway. Please point to some concrete examples of plays or players where you have seen them look "lifeless". Someone besides TO that is.

I too am officially off of the Trent bandwagon. I just don't think he has the fire in his belly to be an NFL QB. My prediction is he will be out of the NFL next year. Isn't this the last year of his contract in Buffalo?
Bring on Fitz.
