TheChimp Posted November 1, 2009 Share Posted November 1, 2009 It still amazes me that ANY player on this pathetic squad gets enough sheeple to form a fan club and don the war paint on their behalf. Are you people really that bored? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SouthGeorgiaBillsFan Posted November 1, 2009 Share Posted November 1, 2009 It just illustrates that Edwards is substantially better than Fitzpatrick, and thus making it a reasonable assumption that both Fitzpatrick and Edwards are substantially better than their performances would indicate. The simple fact is that Johnny Unitas would !@#$ing suck playing for this team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both Qbs are nothing more than a back up and this teams management new it when the brought fitz in that fits would be the guy that could never over take edwards as the starter that was their first mistake protecting edwards pysche the should have brought some one in the could compete for the job.

Magox Posted November 1, 2009 Share Posted November 1, 2009 In Fitzpatricks defense, the offensive line rarely gave him an opportunity to succeed. The way the line blocked today, as they have all year (poorly), Edwards most likely wouldn't of done much better. There aren't too many qb's in this league that could be successful with the passblocking we have had this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The simple fact is that Johnny Unitas would !@#$ing suck playing for this team. How does Fitz's performance indicate Edwards' to be better? They are both backup-grade NFL quarterbacks. Let's see what Hamden can do. May as well. No, not saying he's the answer, either, but give the guy some playing time. This team is very bad.

There aren't too many qb's in this league that could be successful with the passblocking we have had this year. Aaron Rodgers has looked pretty good with worse protection, he does lead the league in sacks, and thats including already going through the bye week Too many people think that just giving the QB time will help. The problem is, one QB can't throw a deep ball to save his life, and the other is a backup who is mediocre at best and has his #1 WR who feels that taking Friday off will help more then getting your timing down with a new QB Biggest mistake of the season by management was not dealing TO for whatever they could get at the deadline.

A good QB would have this offence playing much better, good QB's do that. Unfortunatly, neither of Buffalos starters this year are good enough to help a team win. Kelly in his prime would be able to make passes to Evans and TO (no guarantees that Mr. "First Ballot Hall of Famer" OWens would catch the ball though) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did DJ tell him to take the day off or was it just DJ that approved his request? Also, TO can always turn and say "thanks, but I would rather get my timing down and work with Fitzpatrick and help the team" Wow, I almost couldn't write that keeping a straight face think that TO would actually say that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I happen to like Edwards, but unfortunately he hasn't performed as well as I had hoped. But the whole point is that the offensive line has sucked, and in my view at least 80% of starting NFL QB's wouldn't perform well with this offensive line and coaching.

News flash, Buffalo is not the very worst in this league at everything like everyone wants to believe in "Whoa is us" Buffalo. The difference is, GB has a QB that can make plays and doesn't require all day protection to make a short pass over the middle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

News flash, Buffalo is not the very worst in this league at everything like everyone wants to believe in "Whoa is us" Buffalo. To answer your first question, News flash, sacks allowed is not the absolute determinant in defining what is a good line or not. There are other factors that you have to take into consideration, such as QB hurries, attempts per sack, attempts per hurry, how long or short the pass patterns that teams Qb is attempting to throw, the elusiveness or lack of the QB. So please, excuse me if I scoff at the suggestion that Greenbay's line is worse than ours because Rogers has been sacked more. Buffalo's Offensive line is the worst I've seen from our teams in the last 30 years, and there have been some pretty bad one's, but this is by far the worst. In regards to your second point, I believe you have me confused for one of the bipolar headless chickens on this board. I don't fall in that camp, I happen to think that we have some talent on this team, but the Offensive tackles happen not to be a part of that talent.

billsfreak Posted November 2, 2009 Share Posted November 2, 2009 Edwards has been a below overage quarterback this season, but he is still so much better than Fitz that it isn't even a comparison. As I have said all along, since the day they signed him, Fitz doesn't have the arm to play qb anywhere, much less in windy conditions as shown today. He can't throw more than 15 yards down field with any accuracy at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bingo!!!! All of a sudden the o-line sucks and couldn't help Fitz out today. Apparently they were all headed to the pro-bowl when Edwards was in there, but Trent's poor play ruined that for them.
