IMO, that was a mistake.
Well, hard to play with a strained hamstring....apparently he injured it and couldn't practice all week so they made him inactive. He'll be in next week.
-
Here's a question...would Tom Brady have been able to get the Bills into field goal range with 50 seconds on the clock?
(Just a hypothetical question, not criticizing Trent in a major way...just pointing out that our QB still has a ways to go).
-
pretty sure one of those touchdowns came after mckelvin FUMBLED. keep trying though your almost there
So after McKelvin fumbled, Dick pulled the entire D off the field except for him and he alone gave up the 32 yards for a touchdown?
Keep grasping at straws.
-
Actually it was a little over a minute.
76 seconds to be exact.....sigh....
-
I'm down, but I know that we will beat the Bucs and Saints. We will be 2-1 and things will look brighter then. The sun will come out tomorrow.
I got the Bucs as a W, but Drew Brees is going to pick our Tampa 2 apart! The Saints D sucks but if we're going to get into a shootout with the Saints, we're going to lose. Its going to be up to the front seven to put pressure on Brees but I fear we're going to see a lot of what we saw Brady do against us tonight. Exploitation of the soft zones.
-
Chances are had the WR's did their jobs properly and caught perfect passes we would have won the game regardless of McKelvin's major screw up.
So Trent Edwards basically goes onto the Patriots home turf and plays well enough to beat them, something no other team or QB can do and its not good enough.
All you Cutler fans need to shut the F%#K up, TE is our QB and will be for a long time so deal with it.
( post not aimed directly at you Heels)but all them muscles don't scare me,
because you could never catch me.
The build is natural...I use steroids for speed enhancement and to improve my vertical.
As for Trent, I think tonight showed that there's a great QB in there but like I said, he just needs to trust his receivers to make plays. Chucky pointed out on the 3rd and 3 that the receivers were in single coverage with the blitz coming and Trent needed to just step up, throw the ball and let Lee or TO make the play. There is no question Trent can move the ball quickly and he worked the screens and check downs incredibly tonight. But I want to see more throws like the one to TO at the end. The one that had zip, that was high and into double coverage so that TO HAD to make the play. That's the Trent I want to see more often.
Hopefully, we'll see that next week.

The Steelers are rolling the ball down the field, Ben completes a huge pass to Hines Ward who, instead of going down and taking the knee, fights for a few extra yards and coughs up the ball, negating a chance to run out the clock and kick the game winning field goal. The look on his face is major disappointment...he knows he's screwed up. He goes to the sidelines and what do his teammates do? They walk up to him and reassure him it'll be okay.
Game goes to OT and the Steelers still win.
Good teams find ways to overcome mistakes like the one Leodis made. That would have been the time for anyone on the Bills D to register a huge sack on Brady, or pick off the pass in the endzone. Instead, we give Brady another tale to add to his legend....
-
I don't want to pin it all on him, either.
But, yeah, making the decision to put Bell in there burned the team pretty badly.
That said, when this team has games like this time and time and time and time again... There comes a point where you've gotta realize that the symptoms you're having are indications of a bigger disease.
I agree. One thing about Dick is in three years (and four offseasons), he's yet to instill a killer instinct into his players. There doesn't seem to be that belief that "YES, WE CAN WIN AND WE CAN BEAT ANYONE, ANYWHERE". Hence, you get these collapses that happen. I don't think the team believed they could win this game...it's like they were thinking "holy sh--, we're winning?!? Okay, okay, calm down...what do we do, what do we do...?"
The D looked like deer in headlights as Brady dissected them on the last two TD drives. He scored the same TD TWICE!
-
By far the best player on the field tonight for the D. Right up there with Freddie for player of the game for the Bills.
Him and Maybin are going to be fierce. Here's hoping Kelsay isn't out for too long because the D's pressure evaporated with him leaving. He did a good job of causing a nuisance so the Aarons could do their job.
-
As a registered Dick Hater™ I can safely say there's no way to pin this loss entirely on him. The only decision that turned out to burn them was putting in a green tackle in Bell in a major game like this. He alone cost us three or four drives with stupid penalties. And at the end of the game, he was a turnstile.
As much as this pains me to say this, Dick actually planned a good game. Not his fault the D and special teams managed to f#ck it up for Trent. Trent left the field with an 11 point lead...when he came back they were down 1. WTF?!?
-
He is a coward that wont stand tall and deliver. I saw him duck on a checkdown, he was afraid to take the hit.
Now come on...I for one question whether or not Trent can be our answer at QB but "coward"?!? THat's not fair.
He played EFFICIENTLY today. Next week, I want to see him make more throws like the one to TO at the end of the game. The throws that require you to TRUST your receivers. That's the most frustrating thing about Trent. You know there's an all-world QB in there, someone needs to get it out!
-
The checkdown worked very well today, as did the screen, but good gravy, you've got TO and Lee Evans.....USE THEM.
The reason they dropped the first passes thrown their way is that they forgot what a football looked like. It was Fred Jackson, Fred Jackson, Fred Jackson. I love the guy as much as anyone but COME ON. USE TO and USE EVANS.
-
Exactly right on the first thought.
I think April will spill the beans to cover the kid though. He's a stand up guy.
Or Jauron, I can see him taking the fall for it. Crappy coach but classy guy.
-
After this game, who actually had a legitimate tear* from their eyes.
*Tears of anger and frustration don't count.
After 28+ years of being a fan...I'm all cried out...
-
You guys all need to chill out here. You hate McKelvin? Do you think he intentionally chose to fumble. I'm sure he feels 100 x's worse that you guys.
He made a mistake, get over it. They lost.
Calling for his death is not only assinine, it really shows your character. Where was everyone when he was the best KR man in the league last year? Were you calling for his death then?
God damn.
What I learned from this game is:
1. The defense is legit.
2. Fred Jackson is legit.
3. Edwards may have given us a respite from our concern.
4. This line won't be half bad once they get some experience. They certainly did a decent job minus some rookie mistake penalties which will ease out over time.
Some of you people sound like the losers who blamed Steve Bartman for the Cubs missing out on the World Series. Yes, he f###ed up big time. But there were other players who f###ed up as well. The Bills D took a perfect time to let Brady march it up the field and score TWO TDs when a cohesive unit would have found a way to stop the Pats and get the ball back and redeem Leodis. They had their chances on D to stop Brady and they didn't. If they don't give up a 3 minute TD drive then Leodis' kick return is moot.
The only people I'd lay off of is Jauron, Trent, the O-line (minus Bell, but there's talent there) and Maybin and Schoebel. The rest are all guilty on this national collapse.
-
I'm f#cking crushed right now....this team takes away the will to live...
Just so embarassing...
-
lol, "story of the game: Bills better than we thought on offense, Bills better than we thought a defense." LMFAO!
That train of thought can apply to all of us!!! Wow, what a start. I have never wanted to be so wrong about something ever!
-
Would you feel better if he said beating the Patriots would be easy, only to get waxed. He'd lose the little credability he has left with the media.
If you read the end of my post, I stated it would be nice if he came out and said: "yes, the odds are stacked against us, but I believe in this team and I believe we can get it done." You think Vince Lombardi ever told the media he was worried about his opponent. It's a show of weakness.
-
Actually, that's an extremely honest and fair assessment. Jauron's a straight shooter. Say what you want about his coaching record and ability but his players respect and play hard for him. Your trying to stir up the pot and should look elsewhere besides a pregame quote.
Would you like me to bring up his coaching record instead? He sure is a swell fella, but I like my coaches to achieve this rare thing called WINNING.
You think Rex Ryan comes out before yesterday's game and says: "Well, we got a rookie QB and Houston has a fierce front four, golly gee willickers I'm kinda scared about today!"
Straight shooter or not, it's LOSER TALK. And after three years of this moron, I'm sick of it.
-
when the 49ers were cracking yesterday, Singletary called time out and went out onto the field with the entire defense, huddled with them and got them going again.. they won the game. very instructional...
The difference is that in the handful of games that Singletary has coached, he's already proven he's better than Jauron. Including beating him.

On playing the Patriots...
"It's not going to be easy, there's no doubt about that," Buffalo coach Dick Jauron said, "so there's a lot of worry."
http://www.tsn.ca/nfl/story/?id=291087
Just oozes of confidence doesn't it...?
Now compare that quote to what his own players like TO and Freddie say...
For once, just once, I'd like this skeleton to say something like: "The odds are stacked against us, but I believe in this team, we're going to surprise people." Even if its not true, at least inspire the team and the fans for freakin' sake!!!

Buffalo Bills: Embrace continuity....

It's hard to win games in the NFL.

I can't think of many players who are able to thrive under Jauron, can you?
Edwards checks down, Whitner plays in the stands, McKelvin doesn't challenge wideouts and Schobel is back in freaking pass coverage. Seriously, Jaurons method of coaching isn't geared towards getting the max out of his players. He coaches to not lose as we well know. One slim hope I cling to is the new guards. Perhaps this indicates some sort of commitment to running the football.
Billiam, I think you, I and a few others are the only ones who truly believe NO PLAYER can thrive under Jauron's system. His inability in FOUR YEARS to find a suitable OC, a defense that prides itself on how long it can keep the opposing team's offense on the field before they score and overall ineptitude in preparing his offense to play a 3-4 defense to me speaks volumes of how this team will never be successful under this idiot.
How many of you honestly think Belichek had any worries about going head-to-head with Jauron tonight?
Stop blaming Trent, or the young O-line, or Evans or Lynch or Whitner....none of these guys will amount to anything under Jauron.
Believe it or not

Sorry buddy, I know you're looking for positives but after 10 years of no playoffs as well as a handful of crushing defeats that are eerily similar to this one, I got no patience for "moral victories". Moral victories are for teams that are used to regular victories where losing isn't the norm.
