PDaDdy Posted September 29, 2009 Share Posted September 29, 2009 Many are trying to make something of TO's emotionless face and how curt he was in a post game interview regarding the Saints' game. The real story is the post game commentary of Lee Evans below. I don't think it takes too much to interpret his comments as being directed at Captain Checkdown while doing it in a mature tactful way. From CBS sports "It's frustrating, very frustrating," said Evans. "We just didn't take chances when he had to or needed to or could have. That's the most frustrating part. We had opportunities and we didn't take them. Our defense played great and offensively we had no support for them." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I want T.O and Lee to come out and blast the living hell outta this conservative approach offensive garbage. 2 very good NFL WR's....use them! I'm tired of watching slow, bumbling Tight End's run 5 yard outs. 81 & 83 have 13 combined receptions in 3 games....EMBARASSING! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc Posted September 29, 2009 Share Posted September 29, 2009 I want T.O and Lee to come out and blast the living hell outta this conservative approach offensive garbage. Yeah, and guess who'll get blamed for that, like he was last year in Dallas? I think it's enough that Lee AND Fred have made their frustration public. And that it's been glossed-over, while TO not saying anything although visibly frustrated is "about to blow." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
May Day 10 Posted September 29, 2009 Share Posted September 29, 2009 If things get worse, TO will have something to say. The remarkable thing is that for the first time, all the fans and likely local media will have TO's back at that point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reddogblitz Posted September 29, 2009 Share Posted September 29, 2009 GET TO and Frekin' LEE the ball. It can't be that hard. I could draw up 5 plays on my legal pad and crayon right now to get them the ball in a little space and let them make a play. Criminy Louise. When the db is 10 yards back from TO, throw him a quick pass out there and let him beat the db. They showed highlights of him doing that last night. JP used to throw this. Didn't work that much but we didn't have TO then. Guess it's no longer in the play book. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that is perhaps the strongest emotion I feel, second to frustration of course, is that this is shameful and embarrassing! How are you unable to utilize those two guys. We have 2 1000yd WRs and we have wasted them. Absolutely terrible. Reminds me of that old cartoon will the furry little cave man that flew around... Captain CHEEEEccccKKKDOOOOOOOOOOWNNNNN!

lvbillzfan Posted September 29, 2009 Share Posted September 29, 2009 Guys, the plays are drawn up correctly. The scheme is right. It doesn't matter if we huddle or not. TRENT is not getting them the ball. When he looks down field everyone looks covered in his mind. It's something instinctual that he lacks. You can't teach it. He just doesn't have that in him. Great (or even good) QB's anticipate where and when to throw. Unfortunately, he is not one of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PDaDdy Posted September 29, 2009 Author Share Posted September 29, 2009 Unfortunately I might have to make this my signature again in reference to our chances for success this year with Trent after we face the Dolphins. Trent is about as observant as Stevie Wonder reading a 3 - 4 defense. Here we go again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then we have to listen to our loser head coach talk about how hard it is to get the football to those guys when the defense is scheming to take TO and Evans away. I HATE to watch our players being coached to dig a hole and crawl into it because football is hard and maybe if we hide from it it will all go away and we'll end up with a 7-9 record against even worse teams. Our coach is a looooooooooooser, and our QB is loser if he in fact is just following orders. Kelly would tell Jauron to take a hike if he told him to always checkdown if the WR is not wide open. TO, Evans, the players, the media and Bills fans all would like to know why TO and Evans aren't getting the ball thrown to them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Turk and now Alex were/are trying to open things up but TE holds on to the ball too long and then throws it to our 3rd string tight end or RBs behind the LOS. Well sooner or later Fitz will get in and then we'll know for sure. Hopefully Trent can get this turned around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PDaDdy Posted September 29, 2009 Author Share Posted September 29, 2009 This is another facet of the whole issue that I'm really torn on. We are all tired of looking for the next Jim Kelly. We had brief moments of relief when Bledsoe played well for part of a year and Flutie gave us some Flutie magic but other than that it's pretty much been disappointment after disappointment. A big part of me wants Trent to magically grow a set and start playing with some more gun slinger in him. I know it's not the end all be all that the defenders try to make it. But.....I love RB with speed and I love QBs with big arms! You don't need those things to be successful BUT they allow you to do things that other guys just can't do!!! A RB with 4.3 or even 4.27 speed like Chris Johnson flat out can just do somethings that a RB with 4.6 CAN'T do. A QB with a big arm is just going to be able to make certain throws and throw the ball late or fit it into tiny windows that a QB with a less than stellar arm CAN'T. Look at all of the young guns that are out there in the league that are actually successful: Phillip Rivers Eli Manning Jay Cutler Joe Flacco Matt Ryan Mark Sanchez (Early to tell but the kid looks promising as hell) Ben Rothlesberger Aaron Rodgers I dare you to find someone in there who has an equivalent or weaker arm than Edwards!!!!

If that wasn't a typo that is even more damning. If TO had said that you would have every talking head chirping about how he was so selfish and a bad team mate etc. Lee Evans says it and it goes nearly completely ignored by the national media. Regardless of who said it....it's on the money. Fix it and fix it fast. Unless of course we are tanking the season to let the line develop and draft a real, strong armed QB in the 2010 draft.
