thebug Posted October 26, 2008 Share Posted October 26, 2008 This is going to come up, so I thought we could have one thread to discuss it when certain people who have been missing from this site re-appear. GO BILLS! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MRW Posted October 26, 2008 Share Posted October 26, 2008 I will say this, Edwards should've been paying attention last year when Losman fumbled away his starting job in Jacksonville. It's pretty apparent that this team needs mistake-free play from the QB to win games, so hopefully Edwards is learning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IDBillzFan Posted October 26, 2008 Share Posted October 26, 2008 I'll wait to hear what Donte Whitner has to say on the subject. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deep2evans Posted October 26, 2008 Share Posted October 26, 2008 Trent was god awful today....but sometimes a young players needs a game like this....he will come back hungry next week....Jets better watch out Trent was not god awful by any means. He was somewhere in between average and mediocre, but it's not like he was throwing TDs to the other team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thebug Posted October 26, 2008 Author Share Posted October 26, 2008 Just lock this thread now. Why? Is this not a discussion forum? Some people might feel this way, I know they haven't been around but I'm sure they will come back. GO BILLS! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dean Posted October 26, 2008 Share Posted October 26, 2008 Actually, had JP played, the Bills might have won ***...but it would have been due to a different offensive game plan. Along with not getting the ball to Lynch (and Jackson) more, the long ball was very poorly used, today. Take this example: I couldn't understand the long fade route to Hardy on 2nd and 1 (early in the 4th quarter). That was asking too much from Trent and Hardy, IMO. If you want to air it out, give your best deep threat a shot, and let the QB put it out there where Evans can run under it. They MAY have run that route with JP in the game. *** This was strictly for demonstrative purposes to show the problems in the deep passing game, and was not meant as an endorsement for JP ats the starting QB. While I think it is true that they MIGHT have won with JP, they should have won with Trent, and I think they do 7 or 8 out of 10 tries. It is also possible they MIGHT win with any given QB having a very good day. So, let's try not to turn this into a thread bashing Trent or JP. K?

YOOOOOO Posted October 26, 2008 Share Posted October 26, 2008 Trent was not god awful by any means. He was somewhere in between average and mediocre, but it's not like he was throwing TDs to the other team. No sir...he was well below average....plainly awful.... He missed many oppurtunites today....his throws were erretic...he had happy feet.....held on to the ball to long....and fumbled in the worst spots.... Young players have these kind of games....coaching staff knows this, stick with him and he will bounce back next Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[ That pass was on Trent....Hardy had a step on his man down the sideline...and he threw it over/out of bounds....I bet if Trent had one throw...one play to do over....up to that point....it be that one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Calling that play to the sideline was a mistake, I think, for Trent who is still developing his long ball skills. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I disagree....I thought the playcall was right on.....we needed to take a shot downfield...and 2nd and short from the 40 was a prefect time....and it was there....just a poor throw... of course seeing the result on that play and the next(trent fumble)......i can see your point....

Throw it to Evans and not right along the sideline. That way, you have room for error, and give the WR a chance to adjust...and why not use your BEST long WR? When Trent shows he can regularly hit the easy long throws to the Bills' best WR, I would consider letting him try the more difficult ones, to other WRs.

Captain Hindsight Posted October 26, 2008 Share Posted October 26, 2008 Trent was not god awful by any means. He was somewhere in between average and mediocre, but it's not like he was throwing TDs to the other team. Thats what i thought just looked almost uncomfortable if thats because of Miami or our coaching staff idk but Trent could have played better but our play calling was horrible today.... why did we stop running the ball?
