How sad is this...Buffalo has run fewest plays in the NFL

[shelby]

The Buffalo Bills won the time of possession battle in all of the three full games that Trent Edwards played as the starting quarterback this year.
That’s one of the few positive signs the Bills’ offense takes into Sunday’s game against the Washington Redskins.
The Bills’ offensive problems begin with the fact they can’t stay on the field.
The Bills have run the fewest plays in the league this season — just 618 through 11 games, or 56 a game. They’re on pace to run the fewest plays ever by a Bills team in a 16-game season.
So it’s little wonder the Bills are second worst in the NFL in yards gained and fourth worst in points.

Sunday is Trent's 300 yard game. Every Offensive player is going to step it up to support him, from Evans on down. They know this is an emotional game for the Skins, and best thing is to strike quick and often.

The offense can't score if they don't have the ball.

A wildly inconsistent, gunslinging QB and a 'fraidy scared offensive coordinator will do that.

Hopefully, Edwards and Fairchild will mesh better.

They can't if the go 3 and out either.

We’ve got a little inconsistency at quarterback,” said offensive coordinator Steve Fairchild. “We’re lacking big plays, we’re lacking explosiveness, but we’ve just got to keep pushing our way through it. I see improvement in some areas but it’s just not hitting on all cylinders.” Steve Fairchild

“Our run game — if you don’t look at the stats and just look at it — it’s much improved,” Fairchild said. “But we’re just not able to push you [the defense] off us enough, for a lot of reasons. We haven’t been real consistent at quarterback. That’s one of them. As that improves I think the job that the offensive line is doing will show better.” Steve Fairchild

I wonder who Fairchild thinks is ther reason for the offensive woes.

When you go 1-2-3 punt a lot this tends to happen.

They ran the least amount of plays last year also.

You think the Redskins aren't going to come out at home and step up for Sean? I think the Redskins will win because they will play harder for Sean then the Bills will play for Trent....for obvious reasons!

i really think anyone who ever thought jp would be anything more than the abortion of a qb looks at this, and looks at our production last year.

even if the supporting talent is bad (and considering what lynch has done, evans, and what mcgahee did last year, it could be worse) this is the stat the highlights what a useless write off of a qb jp has always been.

i hope trent is better, but i know jp is a turd
