Now, he hasn't been the "spark" I thought he'd be. But so far he has matured rapidly for a 7th rounder. One dropped pass last night, sure hes going to get flamed for it, we are Bills fans, we do that. "IF HE WOULD HAVE CAUGHT THAT!" Ha, makes me laugh.

He may not have provided a spark to victory, but in the future, I believe we have found our next threat in this offense.

He must be showing something on the practice field becuase he got a good amount of playtime last night, and got 4 catches for 41 yards. not too shabby for a 7th round rookie.

Maybe he will turn out to be a good WR for us for years to come, I don't know. All I know is, he is running good routes, getting open and has had the ball thrown to him 7 times on the season, and has 6 catches out of those 7 times for 72 yards.

not only that, but did anyone else see him wide open on the outside several times last night, and Trent just check it down?

I know there was one time where Johnson studder stepped an out and was sitting there wide open with the saftey out in the center of the field picking daisys and if Trent had made the throw, Johnson strolls into the endzone.

Steve looks like a Keeper, one dropped pass is forgiveable for a 7th rd rookie. Add in the fact that Trent has lost his ability to look downfield and find an open WR quickly... Steve could have probably caught 2x's as many balls last night.

SJ backed up everything we've said about him. Hopefully the staff does the right thing and keep him in the lineup.

He looked good but dont expect him to ever be a starter in this league or put up big numbers.

By the way you owe me some ZB's.

It's pathetic a 7th rounder is outplaying our 2nd rounder.
Way to go, scouts!

Robert Royal caught that pass to get us into field goal range to win the game.

I disagree, atleast Hardy has caught some TD passes.

Johnson was wide open several times, Trent didnt get him the ball. He could have strolled into the endzone.

Trent was way too gun shy, hence the reason Lee had no balls thrown in his direction downfield and Lynch caught 10, most of them behind the LOS.

I like our recievers, something was wrong with Trent the other night. They kept showing replay after replay that showed Trent just standing there as guys were wide open. He wasn't hitting his guys when they made their break.

stevie could have had at least 1 TD on a deep route, he was jumping up and down for the ball down field...edwards looked at him, then checked it down.

When you throw 3 picks in 6 passes, you start to count your shots a bit.

If Edwards is all "poise" like we benched JP for, he'll bounce back and start throwing the ball this week against KC. I predict a great game for the team (not that it'll mean too much).

BTW, what was the bet for originally?

1000 ZB said Bills win by 7. we lost, so I had to pay up to Draft Boy. damnit.
