It's not Trent's fault

[northernbillfan]

Don't be so quick to lay blame on Trent.

I am getting sick of all the talk about how bad Trent was in this play or that play or on this certain drive. It's getting tiresome hearing you guys bash him when he fails to drive the team to victory.

There are a few contributers to his poor play. The lack of cohesion on the O-line is in large part one of the keys. Teams watch hours of game tape preparing for the enemy and they can read the holes the Bills have in the front five and can exploit those weaknesses.

Another contributer is the lack of weapons. The Bills cannot move into the next level of being an elite team without two great wide outs. Again teams preparing to face the Bills can read the routes Evans is going to run and double up on him. Without a stud second receiver the Bills will never be a real threat.

Yeah I know you can pick apart some of the throws Trent made in pressure situations but remember there are many other factors to his poor play. It's easy to lay blame on the QB but look at the bigger picture.

Re: It's not Trent's fault

He played poorly yesterday but the big hits in the first drive, thank you Derrick Dockery, I think got in his head.

This is a guy that counts on his protection to be there. Unlike Losman who would get nervous in a collapsing pocket, Trent uses the pocket til the last possible second. The pocket has been breaking down very quickly and I think it's rushing his throws.

I'm not worried about Trent as much as I am Derrick Dockery and Marshawyn lynch.

at least lossman could use his feet....al least lossmencan throw while he is running....al least lossmen can throw the deep ball....

excuses excuses...

We were not suppose to look at the big picture with JP.
We blamed JP for each and every loss and now we use that measure..

We will blame Trent for the same...

We will use that measure now...sorry...your bed lay in it.

you guys get what you deserve

Dude, compare Trent's numbers this year to Losman's numbers last year. They've played about the same number of games.

Re: It's not Trent's fault

He was worse than Losman..he was Bledwards!

Re: It's not Trent's fault

I'm a Trent Truster and I say it IS Trent's fault. Along with the OL, and the entire D.

When I tried to use numbers to make my points last year they were to be disreguarded...shall I use that measure with you?

Remember it is wins and losses that not only mater (More then numbers)...but are layed at the qb's feet.

My piont above was JP had some tools to get out of bad plays...

We will look at numbers at the end of the season....

You're partially right. It's not ONLY Trent's fault. The OL has been pathetic and the run game has been non-existent. But Trent missed wide open receivers at least 3 times, including one for an INT, and he made a bad decision on the second INT. Those were ALL on Trent.

Remember, Trent played behind a terrible OL in Stanford so it's not like he isn't used to the situation.

All of our losses this year have been total team losses and can't be pinned solely on Trent's shoulders, but he has to take responsibility for his play as well.

Re: It's not Trent's fault

You are right Op...Trent did have a bad oline at stanford......he also had a losing record there.....

One has to ask does the oline make the qb or the other way around....

In the past it was the other way around.....

replace Trents name with JP and it's the same thing we said when JP was the qb. It's almost deja vu.


I heard Trent started calling his college OL and he told them he misses them.

Re: It's not Trent's fault

When the line gives Trent enough space to step into a throw and then he's throwing picks, call me. Do you know what happens when a QB can't step into a throw? The ball sails just like it did most of the NE game.

We're expecting a 2nd year QB to win games without pass protection and a running game. That's not going to happen no matter what people's expectations are.

Re: It's not Trent's fault

hilarious. People are starting to sound like lickers except it's a different qb.

We expect that of a 3rd yer guy starting in his second (Injured one year) to do the same.....

The answer is yes...by using The Trend guys measure...

JP would have been beaten to a pulp by now if he played behind this current line. All those big bombs to Evans? You might want bring up the tape and count how much time he had tap dance in the pocket, waiting for Evans to make his double-move.

Hilarious is you and your fan club still holding onto JP for dear life. Let it go already.
