‘It took two games for Chan Gailey to drop the mind-numbing veneer so common to the rocket scientists who masquerade as NFL coaches.’

‘The Packers and Bills have looked like perfect trade partners with depth at positions of need for the other.’

‘Linebacker Brandon Chillar and rookie safety Morgan Burnett intercepted Trent Edwards and the Packers (2-0) held the Bills to 186 yards of total offense.’

‘With Bills linebacker Paul Posluszny(notes) out for a few weeks with a sprained right knee, Keith Ellison filled his spot in the starting lineup. Linebacker Reggie Torbor was also in the lineup after missing last week’s game with a chest injury.’

‘Trent Edwards was pressured all day and completed 11-of-18 passes for 102 yards and was intercepted twice. Marshawn Lynch carried 17 times for 64 yards for the Bills (0-2), who lost their second straight visit to the legendary venue.’

‘In the second half, it was all Green Bay.’

‘This game was agonizing for Bills’ fans I’m sure, and it also stomped on any shred of optimism that still remained from last week.’

‘ I don’t know if I’ve ever seen less-inspired offensive efforts from a Bills team to start a year ever. They should honestly see what’s on the market for Marshawn Lynch (because he’s excess) and Lee Evans (because he deserves better). By the way, Terrell Owens has 10 catches for 107 yards this year in Cincinnati. Those numbers would lead the Bills, which isn’t a surprise considering he did last year.’

‘Is there any hope?’

‘Edwards was under duress the entire day as he was sacked four times and hurried on several other pass attempts. He finished the game 11-18 for 102 yards and the two aforementioned interceptions. Packers linebacker Clay Matthews had three sacks in the game.’

‘Green Bay outgained the Bills 150-0 in the first quarter. The Bills outgained them 93-11 in the second quarter.’

‘Trent Edwards Grade F: They would have lost even if this was an A but there seems to be no hope in resurrecting his career.’
