When the team plays well.

So what you're saying is that even though he played well last year, they should have anticipated him not playing well this year?

Yes. The lingering concussion must be the answer for his poor play of late. No way that the chosen one could have a couple of bad games unless other forces are at work.

What if Norwood makes that kick......

Would love DJ to prove me wrong, but what you're seeing/hearing from him is exactly what was seen/heard from him in Chicago. The parallels are all to familiar for me.

This is why Obama will win the election. Some people just don't get it.

Sullivan has poor credibility in the minds of many Bills fans.

If we judged our very own Trent Edwards on 2 games, he'd be on the bench too.

Hindsight.

I think the whole team is better. Concern for the current trend (1-3 after a 4-0 start). If they go 5-3 in the second half, I think you have to call it a very good season. Less than that and the sheen begins to wear off.

Well, You're both nuts-on-nuts. let's see. Anderson played very well last year. Well enough for the Browns to want him playing over Quinn. 29 touchdowns is pretty good. Obviously they wanted to keep him. Quinn hasn't started a game. You think it would have been smart for the Browns (without the benefit of hindsight or a crystal ball) to trade Anderson and hand Quinn the starting job? Which move would have looked riskier for them in the off-season? Staying with Anderson and paying him or giving Quinn the job with no experience? I think they made the obvious choice given what they knew then.

Send more than 4 or if you don't do that, send 2-3 and drop even more into coverage.

So you're ready to annoint Quinn the savior?

Exactly. I still think the defense knows what the Bills are doing on nearly every run play.

Jauron is not an "impose your will on them" coach. He's all about managing risk.

If that happens, rest assured that Jauron is completely on board with that decision.

Trent's getting called out more than he deserves simply because JP was often unfairly critized here. Just backlash from that. Lynch has nowhere to run. No holes and the defense is anticipating the plays and overloading the LOS on ruinning plays.

No, he wants a bushy beard so that he can keep his hands warm in later games.

Big game coming up. A chance to knock the perennial division champs out of the top spot. Both teams coming off of a loss. A road game. Their all-world QB not playing. He's replaced by a very inexperienced QB. How will the Bills respond defensively to this opportunity? Pass rush has been lacking. You know what the other team wants to do. They want to protect their QB with a good running game and a high percentage passing game. Pressure on the QB looks like a good recipe for a win. Will the Bills take an aggressive approach given the opportunity? Will they send 5-6 rushers after this guy on obvious passing downs? Will they do what it takes to get pressure on a young and inexperienced QB or will they "play it safe" and drop LBs and safeties into coverage like they did against the Dolphins allowing Chad Pennington to rack up big numbers a few yards at a time? I think we'll all learn a lot about this head coach this upcoming week watching the Bills defense play against the pass.

Yup. If you can' run the ball, you turn the ball over, can't put pressure on the opposing QB and can't stop their running game late in the game - you'll lose most of the time.

That wasn't the point. The point is that JP is just as accurate or more accurate than Trent on short throws. Critism is fine, but let's at least be accurate about how we criticize a player. I don't think JP is on the bench due to accuracy.

Aaron Rogers, 6 years $66 million. Trent needs to get his act together. A lot of money at stake.

You do know that the claim that JP doesn't throw short accuratly is a myth, right? JPs completion percentage on short passes (and long for that matter) was better than that of Trent's last year. Those numbers (broken down by yardage) have been posted on this board more than once. Also JP was more accurate this past pre-season and also this year in the time he has played. So for Trent's career in Buffalo, JP has a higher completion percentage both short and overall. That is a fact. I don't have time to dig for last year's numbers but if you look, that is exactly what you'll find with absolute certainty. As for the rest of your "proven facts". We really don't know the coaches reasons for making the change and probably never will. This is not to say that Trent won't be a very good starter. We've seen evidence of that. JP with a fresh start may be as well as you pointed out.

It's an 8 game season folks. Miami now 1 game behind. Anything can happen in this wacky division.

Overall a very good day for Tight ends receiving.
