Poeticlaw Posted September 22, 2008 Share Posted September 22, 2008 Since we lost Flutie we have had a quite a few QBS incabable of 4th qtr comebacks. Qbs who crumble with the game on the line. JP had the first 2 comebacks back to back late in the season of 2006 which was the first 2 we have had in about 6 years. However now we have had 2 by a second year Qb in the last two games of the first 3 games. These type of comebacks especially todays when you march down and bring us within 2 and the defense gives up seven on the next drive and come back and win anyway this gives the offense and the team great character and confidence. Yes we can comeback. Yes we can win when the games on the line. Ys we can overcom mistakes and stil win. This team is going to do good things this years as they keep winning and building confidence in this team. I am a JP supporter but hat I saw in Trent in the 4th qtr defined him as a Qb and a leader of this team. He was calm, poised, an meticulous whent he game was on the line. He didnt feel the anxity to force plays and only made plays that kept the chins moving. I still say the jury is out on his ability to play in bad weather (wind, rain, snow) but he has purely proven to me today why he has unseated JP as the starter. Dick Jauron needs to play to win everygame if he stands a chance he needs to learn from the 4th qtr an come out with all cylinders firing and establishing a lead that the otherteam cannot comback from. Take a page from the Dolphinns pats game today the Fish came out swimming like sharks and never let up. I would still like to see that dominance before i say whole heartedly we are a playoff team but we are looking good at 3-0 with a 4-0 easily within our sights. lets keep getting stronger its nice not to have to dig out of the cellar and we are always better in the second half 12-4 or 13-3 is very likely but i don care about the reocrd I want a team that can be competitive enough to win in the playoffs and the 4th qtr comebacks aids in the transition from mediocre to competetive.

marauderswr80 Posted September 22, 2008 Share Posted September 22, 2008 Hey the Bills went all 12 rounds toe to toe with them, got B word slapped here and there, but in the end pulled a Rocky and went for blood....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ganesh Posted September 22, 2008 Share Posted September 22, 2008 You just have to give credit to the Oakland defense and Special Teams for cornering the Bills. They had they by their neck for three quarters only to let it slip away due to horrible play calling in the 4th quarter. The Bills had an unanticipated tough day at work, but found just enough to overcome the troubles and get a win. Go Bills ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lets_go_bills Posted September 22, 2008 Share Posted September 22, 2008 Edwards is a great QB. His 4th quarter efforts have been the stuff of legend. He operated that no huddle shotgun beautifully. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Bills did make some stupid mistakes, which didn't help them, but they played out of their own end zone most of game. That seriously limits the play calling, especially with a young team who is within a field goal or touchdown of the lead. The Bills were able to finally bust it out of there late in the 3rd, and when that happened they took control of the game. Lechler's net average today was 46 yards. Four of his six punts were inside the 20, and I think most of those were inside the 10. He was the Raiders MVP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
