ACor58 Posted August 26, 2009 Share Posted August 26, 2009 He has the worst Offensive Line in football-Oh Wait! That's not an excuse, its a fact! Another retarded thread. That is an interesting point of view. But think about how many Offensive Lineman we have brought in through FA or the draft. As bad as our front office might be a picking linemen, we are going on 10 years without having a great offensive line. Some of the guys have been awful, but others have gone elsewhere and started. There are 31 other teams in the NFL, yet our offensive line always tends to suck. It seems almost impossible. Have you also noticed that teams with "bad offensive lines" typically have "bad quarterbacks". The offenisive line is easy to point to but I am not sure it is the whole problem. I think it has more to do with our offensive scheme or lack there of. Even going back to the days of Gregg. We are always way too predictable. How many times have you been sitting in the recliner at home and knowing the down and distance, be able to predict what the Bills offense was going to do. I know I have and I seem to be right about 70-75% of the time, and I am a fan. Someone like Bill Belichek, Steve Spagnolo, or Rex Ryan will probably by right 95% of the time. Pretty easy to defend a play when you already know what has been called. (Spygate jokes aside). Ths Bills have not had a great offensive mind here in a very long time.

billsfan_34 Posted August 26, 2009 Share Posted August 26, 2009 The funniest thing on this board that I have seen time and time again is the growing list of threads making another excuse for Trent Christ to explain his frequent below average play. For every one good game he has 4 bad games (literally), but the excuse makers hold on to the one good game as "the real Trent" and make excuses and blame others for his bad games. So, rather than have dozens of threads making excuses for him, here is a chance to list em all. This way when he has a bad game we can all just come to this thread and find out who's fault it really was...lmao To get you started, here are some popular ones, including the most recent I saw that inspired this thread... 1. Turk 2. DJ 3. Gameday Preperation 4. Jason Peters Holdout 5. And the most recent and my favorite...Lee Evans isnt good enough I could easily list another dozen, but will let others... I am just wondering when everyone is going to stop blaming everyone else for his struggles and realize the kid hasnt put it together yet and he is still a stuggling young QB. Hopefully he gets there, our season depends on it, but I havent seen anything in the Preseason that suggests he has improved on his worst attribute which is reading the defense. He doesnt see coverages well or fast enough causing him to make throws late (when going downfield), not see open recievers, check down too often, and hold the ball too long leading to bad sacks and lots of fumbles. I am another panzy california qb who doesnt like to play in the cold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest dog14787 Posted August 26, 2009 Share Posted August 26, 2009 We also need the glove wearing QB to actually throw the ball to one of the players in the End zone, which he refuses to do. As Wayne Gretzky once said, "You miss 100% of the chances you don't take" My excuse for Trent is that he sucks. Wait. That's not an excuse. Its a fact. Sucks bad enough to have a winning record, imagine that, despite the lack of having a decent group of WR's no TE to speak and an inexperienced OC. ignorant post, and that's a fact Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So far he has sucked bad enough not to even be better statistically than Losman (who set the bar pretty low himself). Maybe the WRs lack of stats are due to poor quarterbacking. Check Evans' stats from 2006. Looks like a good WR when his QB is not in constant checkdown mode. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brand J Posted August 26, 2009 Share Posted August 26, 2009 And a very sticky nickname was officially born. Nicely done. It's actually been around for a few days now. The full name is Trentative Checkwards. A beat reporter made it up, or something like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2020 Our Year For Sure Posted August 26, 2009 Share Posted August 26, 2009 I like Trentative Edwards better. 'Checkwards' has no meaning. I get that its supposed to reference the term 'checkdown,' but it just isn't working. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I have to point out the difference between Steve Fairchilds original offense in 06 and Shonerts now, I'm probably wasting my time anyway.

What difference? They both suck. Are you referring to Turk's "World's Slowest No Huddle" Offense? Yeah, our starters are lighting it up under that! I think a majority of people here fell in love with Trent Edwards simply because he was NOT JP Losman. I think there were only a few of us last year who felt NEITHER QB was the long term answer for the Bills. I'd love to be proved wrong by Trentative...

Endzone Animal Posted August 26, 2009 Share Posted August 26, 2009 Trentative Checkwards is pretty clever, too. Hmmm...We'll probably be just shortening it to Trentative anyway as time goes on, so I guess the last name isn't as important. Great stuff either way, though!
