Coming here and seeing the same stupid coverreacting and petty BS.
Trent Edwards didn't win twelve superbowls in two weeks? Bench him.
Dick Jauron didn't personally go out and cover the onsides kick? Fire him.
Marv Levy didn't strap it up as the strong side backer and press the zone when everyone knew it would be a short pass? He's old, decrepit and fired!
The fact is, we played a great and passionate game, but we left too much time on the clock and made too many mistakes at the end. Dallas is a better football team than we are. That's just the way it is right now. You should never be in a football game when your QB has six turnovers, but that's where Dallas found themselves yesterday. They took advantage of it, in a very hostile environment. Props to them for that.
As for the Bills.. if this game didn't prove the concept of "team" to posters here then nothing ever will. We will never win the superbowl in buffalo by signing the biggest name free agents or coaches, by overspending, or getting the splashiest stadium and accompanying revenue. We are a small market team. Incessant *****ing and moaning will never change that. However, the Bills can very obviously find success with the right mix of smart and passionate players and coaches. And with consistent execution in all three phases of every game.
We win last nights game with a modicum of production from our offense. Considering we're starting a rookie QB and RB, with an offensive line that's been together for 5 games, we really can't expect much from them right now. We need to add another pass catching target or two, and in my opinion we need to open up the playbook bigtime. But mostly, we need to let them play and grow together. You know, as a team.
As much as it pains me to say this, we have to let Trent Edwards finish out the season. I really like JP. I've supported him the entire time he's been here. He's a good kid with a lot of physical ability, and his contributions to the city of Buffalo are unparalleled by any recent player. I really will be disappointed if he doesn't stay in Buffalo beyond this season. That said, he's had his chances and he didn't show enough with them. Trent Edwards looks like he can be the real deal. I'd love to see what he could do if the coaches let him throw deep once in a while to open up the defense.
In conclusion: goddammit people quit yer *****ing or just shut the hell up. Bills fans need to support our TEAM, and not pick apart the anointed loser of the week. We may not always win as team, but we will ALWAYS lose by supporting individuals.
I know this rant is all over the place, but I made my points and I feel better.
