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.

That's what gets me. Its on a 3rd and 9. Of course, the Pats* don't convert... wait for it, wait for it... here's the flag. First down.

Evans did drop a very similar catch already this year. Granted it wasn't in the EZ, but caught the ball and came down hard. Main difference - Lee gave up the ball to protect himself, Mason didn't.

So now we're making up phantom concussions to explain away Trent's poor play? Nice.

Agreed! Man, it's nice to watch a good QB tear up the Pats* defense. Currently he's leading a great drive - 12/13 plays? Impressive. 3rd and goal right now. edit: backed up with a penatly. 3rd and goal from the 20. Flacco hits Mason in the end zone. When did they start letting QBs throw into the end zone on 3rd down? Damn impressive.

I currently have the Raven/Pats* on. Friggin Ravens fumble the kick off at about the 15. But Brady goes 3 and out and the Pats* kick the FG.

Why do we have the only player in the league to be affected by a concussion for 2 months? What's also most confusing about his concussion is how those affects seemed to disappear the first week back against the Chargers, but then showed up for the next 3 weeks against 3-4 AFC East defenses. Maybe the concussion only affected the part of his brain that processes 3-4 defensive schemes? Bottom line for me, Trent becomes the leader of this team and the QB of the future when he finally begins to take the games by the balls and says we're goning to scored regardless of what the defense does.

Agreed. He thinks entirely too much about what's going on when he just needs to take charge and make plays. One of the "Trentisms" that's about to drive me nuts is the "I'm taking what the defense gives me" approach. Man I hate that! What professional athlete that's determined to win and confident in his team leaves it up to the other team to dictate what he does? It's sickening when I think about it. Just man up and take charge for once. He needs to tell his team that it doesn't matter what the defense does... we're going to score.

IMO, it's all of the above to varying degrees. Yes, we have a young, seive-like O line. However, there are plays that can be designed to minimmize that. Is AVP calling those plays? Are they even in the playbook? I think at least some are. It was noteworthy to see our 2 backups play in the preseason and suddenly start theowing mid-range passes. Bottom line, though, Trent absolutely has to throw the ball deep. Whether TO or Lee are covered, it doesn't matter. Whether the ball falls incomplte, it doesn't matter. The line has, at least some snaps, given Trent the few seconds needed to dop back and throw the ball downfield. By not throwing deep more often, Trent is only making the defense defend about 20 yards - effectively putting us in the red zone for the entire game. And of course, Jauron is to share in the blame for all things. He's taught this team to not take chances, to take what the defense gives them, to accept losing provided they learn from it. He needs to put a shock callar on Trent and zap him every time he throws a checkdown, plain and simple. Ultimately if he can't see that this is the biggest problem with our offense and he doesn't do something about it; he should/will be gone.
