Meathead Posted September 20, 2010 Share Posted September 20, 2010 too soon i would have given trent the first four games. and especially watching how piss ass poor our whole blocking scheme has been i ABSOLUTELY would have given him another game or two. not that trent hasnt been crappy but its just not fair to expect any hof qb ever to function behind what it honestly one of the worst oline performances i have EVER seen hopefully this means gaily is convinced trent is washed up. i only say hopefully cuz if thats the case then better to just move on now rather than later. i would prefer trent be serviceable, and i dont see how we could make that determination yet behind this and last seasons horrendously poor oline/blocking schemes, but if thats what they think is going on then fine i will give them the benefit of the doubt i just hope fitz doesnt do well enough to get us to six or seven wins - and out of the top five or so on draft day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillsMan75 Posted September 20, 2010 Share Posted September 20, 2010 It happened just like I said in the last Trent bashing thread. If he failed against the Packers that Fitzy would start.....Thank God cause I could not watch Trent suck any longer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cåblelady Posted September 20, 2010 Share Posted September 20, 2010 So many times I thought Trent would step and be a leader. So many times I was let down. And I don't care that he failed. It's jsut how he failed so cowardly. Fitz plays ugly as hell but at least he will going down fighting and show some balls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fitz can scramble and a scrambling QB can make a bad line look pretty good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

4BillsintheBurgh Posted September 20, 2010 Share Posted September 20, 2010 (edited) I see it all the time. Oh, and sometimes it goes badly and I hear the color man start blasting the QB for making a "bad decision". Like the QB has fly by wire to guide the ball when the receiver has a brain cramp and does the exact opposite of what he was supposed to do... If I'm remembering the play correctly - I think the WR could have headed to the sidelines (away from additional coverage) and been open for at least an attempted throw. Looked to me like there was enough room there and then up the sideline because the safety was around the hash. It does speak volumes that Trent couldn't find anywhere to throw the ball - across the field, anywhere - almost like he accepted defeat.

EastRochBillsfan Posted September 20, 2010 Share Posted September 20, 2010 First of all, I'd like to say- where's Darth? I thought he's be all over this. Hopefully Fitz will be benched by the bye week and then the rest of the season can be Brohm. If that does not work, then we can get a whole new stable next year...... This is my wish as well. But I do think Brohm will be good. just my opinion. If only we didn't have to go through all this crap to get there. This makes me ecstatic, glad to hear it... Now I wonder how long it will take before we hear Fitz sucks.. You'll hear it before the day is over, I'm sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob in STL Posted September 20, 2010 Share Posted September 20, 2010 This is a new wrinkle in Gailey's game plan against the Pats. Hopefully the Pats won't know how to prepare. Oh, I think the Pats* will be prepared. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob in STL Posted September 20, 2010 Share Posted September 20, 2010 Then why did Randy Cross call out Lee Evans & the Bills WR's yesterday? Gee, let me think? I know...it's because they weren't getting open, that's why!!! You do realize you are giving credibility to Randy Cross? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Natural Posted September 20, 2010 Share Posted September 20, 2010 Doesn't mean we're out of the loosing woods just yet, but I will at least be excited to see what an actual QB who throws the ball can do with the new offense. Beating New England won't be an easy task, but Jets just set the blueprint. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bleed Bills Blue Posted September 20, 2010 Share Posted September 20, 2010 (edited) This isn't just about the last two games. It's the final flush of a career that's been circling the drain for awhile now. And it's better done now than later. I think Chan knows that at least Fitz is a fighter, and Trent will never be one.

Heitz Posted September 20, 2010 Share Posted September 20, 2010 If nothing else it'll be interesting to see how the O functions with a new QB under center. I've supported Trent (in fact I support all the QBs on the team, I wish they were all future HOFers), but man, the last two games were tough to watch. If Fitz can make a *few* throws to keep the D honest, hopefully we can get the run game going which is our real hope to win games... It pretty funny, I rolled to Vegas yesterday and wore a Bills shirt all day. I got stopped by at least a dozen fans that all said the same thing - this team is brutal to watch. On Sunday (maybe) we'll get some more insight into the real issue - is it the QB, the line, or the WR's never getting open. Ok, off for another $100 Coors Light - my gambling game is like the Bills offensive game and that ain't good my friends... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think whoever is back there is going to run for there lives.... Trent running out of bounds in the fourth might have sealed his fate instead of chucking it...

And it's better done now than later. I think Chan knows that at least Fitz is a fighter, and Trent will never be one. ...So my question is...why keep him? If Chan has (correctly) decided that Trent isn't capable, why wouldn't we just release him and bring someone else in? Why would you keep a player on the team once you have determined that he's incapable of being successful? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They could have him on trade wire...just to see for a bit...i doubt theyll get anything but its worth looking...plus Brohm is running the scout team right now, he hasnt been preparing yet for actual games. Fitzy is more ready to play anyway...no need to tank the season yet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
