Guest dog14787 Posted August 15, 2008 Share Posted August 15, 2008 lol You nailed it. Trent's only had one such "game" and it was only two series. When he strings three or four games even remotely close to that together then we can start talking about how good he is. Most people here obviously have no idea that most QBs have a few good days sprinkled here and there. RJ did. Holcomb did. Hobert did. Van Pelt did. None of them did it on a regular basis though and that's what's important. Two series in preseason with no other such play is definitely encouraging, but hardly a trend. And Polamalu was out too and where did Trent's two TD passes go, Royal. The guy that Polamalu probably would have had. Who was taking his place. (rhetorical) It's a funny thing though, one game of a couple series like this and it's "see I told you so," and apologies about being wrong, and all kinds of other stuff in a message board lovefest, but four or five games of garbage play means nothing. That's where the amusement kicks in. Nawww, I'll start saying how good TE is right now if its all the same to you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ans4e64 Posted August 15, 2008 Share Posted August 15, 2008 I kinda hope you get hit by a car. You know, so you understand why everyone thinks you're an idiot for wishing injury on someone else. Hey, it will make this board better, so I guess we are allowed to root for it. I think Marshawn should be driving the car, it'd only be fitting.

The Tomcat Posted August 15, 2008 Share Posted August 15, 2008 I wouldn't worry. Your comments vanished into insignificance immediately, like a fart in the wind. thats true unless your downwind! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billsfanone Posted August 15, 2008 Share Posted August 15, 2008 For all of my negative comments toward Trent thus far in his career. Tonight he looks amazing, nothing like I've ever seen out of the guy before. Forget what I said about him getting hurt please. I reject your apology.

krazykat Posted August 15, 2008 Share Posted August 15, 2008 Nawww, I'll start saying how good TE is right now if its all the same to you Well, we can agree, he was very good for two series. If it's all the same to you I will temper my enthusiasm with the fact that it was during the preseason against a marginal secondary missing two starters and without a single impressive starting player otherwise. It was obviously a long overdue and necessary development, but it's unlikely that he's going to play like that consistently from now on. But hey, I hope I'm wrong obviously. In other news, did allowing 138 net yards defensively through three series and not even a full half by the defense on a unit that it supposed to "be a beast" this year impress you? No sacks, not much pressure on Roethlisburger except after many seconds when he couldn't find an open receiver. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ricojes Posted August 15, 2008 Share Posted August 15, 2008 I think he does need to apologise so speak for yourself I agree, I wish more would man up to knee jerk posts. But the whole injury thing is just wrong dude. I wanted Trent to get hurt because I thought JP was a better QB? no offense, but it just doesn't sound intelligent. Hopefully this is the beginning of TE's & the offense's break out, looks like they were running that offense for years. While it is only pre-season and I can't get too excited, I really liked the play calling. It was refreshing not being predictable. I was rooting for Fairchild to be sick and bed ridden last season, but at least he's gone now....

Starters were in for 2 series and forced one turnover. BR made some really nice throws. They do need to get more pressure, but I think once they incorporate some blitzes, they'll be fine. All in all a good performance as far as pre-season goes... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adam Posted August 15, 2008 Share Posted August 15, 2008 So the judgments you had about him after a few games as a rookie are replaced by judgments formed by watching him in one preseason game against what probably is a mediocre team? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you where addressing me with the question I would say I've always known how good TE is going to be and I've never wavered. He looked good last year considering the state of the team and coaching staff. I've said it all along, Fairchild killed the offense, a Rookie QB with young players around him didn't help matters , but fairchild killed the offense TE will bring championship home to Buffalo one day because he's that good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still don't think our line is good enough. Walker will only be a serviceable tackle at best and Fowler just isn't good enough at center and never will be. The jury is out on Butler. We focused on the offensive line just one offseason in the last 10+ years, and that can't happen if you want to succeed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikeInABQ Posted August 15, 2008 Share Posted August 15, 2008 He explained that he didn't want him to get seriously hurt, just hurt bad enough that they'd put Losman into the game. You guys (and girls, apparently) are too stupid for words. But whatever, not like I expected Mensa here, not with the likes of krazykat being allowed to run amock. Oh and if I ever get to see Tom Brady or any of his !@#$ing linemen get carted off the field with broken legs, I'll see which of you humanitarians are crying.
