View Full Version : I didn't see the Terrible Edwards game that everyone saw...



Commissioner

I saw an offense that was just shooting itself in the foot and making dumb mistakes.

Edwards did have a couple bad passes... but he also made plays that were negated.

- If it weren't for an "arm bar" he would of hit Evans on a deep pass

- He also hit David Nelson for 40 yards on a 2nd and 20 that was negated by a holding call.

- He also scrambled to his right and hit Lee Evans on a crossing route on a 3rd and long but Evans dropped it....

- He also looked excellent during the 2 minute offense when he had time and it resulted in a 31 yard TD pass.

It seemed to me that Edwards was trying to make plays and he was scrambling to buy time.... but the offense just was completely out of sync. i actually like that fact that he was scrambling and not just sitting in the pocket taking sacks.

Edwards did have his bad plays... but so did everyone else on the offense. Edwards has had worse games... but i can't blame this loss on him like the rest of Bills nation. This loss was a team effort.

I'm not saying he had an awesome game... but i don't believe he had the terrible game that everyone thinks... and he was the reason why we lost. I've seen him play worst. Everyone says he checks down all the time... but he did throw the ball down field 3 or 4 times... and connected twice.... 1 came back due to holding.

The offense just kept shooting itself in the foot... and i thought gailey's game plan was terrible.

He isn't the only reason we lost but he is part of the reason. The guys just doesn't have the balls. I hope Lee calls him out again if Trent acts like a girl vs. the packers.


He tried to lose the game twice but it was a good thing the fins couldn't make the INT. We all would be singing a different tune had the fins caught those balls.

After I watched the game over on replay..... i realized he really didn't play as horrible as it seemed. Other guys on offense were just as responsible for the offense not moving the ball.

I'm just not going to blame the QB for everything that ever goes wrong... like people clearly want to do.

Yeah... Edwards may not be the franchise guy we want... but the team has other problems that need to be fixed also. Thinking we can just switch the QB to fix our problems is a joke.....

Trent was ass licking horrible... never threw the ball downfield never trusted his WR's to make a paly and because of that the stacked box worked like a charm. He telegraphed passes, and can't sense pressure worth **** coming aorund the edge. His accuracy is and has been inconsistent.

Re-watch that game if you don't see how pathetic Trent was then rewatch a 3rd time.


the OL is not perfect, but Trent needs to make plays no ifs ands or buts...

Did you see anyone saying "Man, Trent should have told his WR to catch that one." or "Well if Trent just made sure Levitre didn't hold then it would have worked out."

Obviously everyone has to be playing at a certain level for things to work, but there is no defending Trent's performance. It looked like he'd go to his first read, and instead of finishing the progression, skip straight to the checkdown. You can't win throwing the ball 3 yds behind the LOS or throwing for a 3 yard completion on 3rd and 14.

everyone is to blame on the offensive side of the ball, but the blame is weighted. Trent didn't make plays when the team needed him to.

A QB that a coach had confidence in wouldn't have had a safety taken. they would have tried to march 99 yards.

Imagine winning a game on a 99 yard 2 minute drive. how awesome would that be.

I think Commissioner is just saying that it wasn't all on Edwards. I'm the king of defending Edwards but he made mistakes and didn't do us any favors, as did the o-line, Spiller, and Gailey.

You guys want Edwards to win us games in spite of the offense.

Saying that he had 2 "almost picks" is the same as saying he had "3 almost deep passes".

Spiller never got started, Wood got manhandled, all of this fed on eachother.

It wasn't like the o-line was great, our running games was great, and Edwards threw 3 picks and cost us the game. Big difference here.

It works both ways. Sure if PI is called and the Nelson throw isn't wiped out, the Bills likely win the game, and Trent's performance looks a lot better, but if Miami doesn't drop those 2 pics, the Bills get blown out, and Trents bad day looks horrendous.

That's pretty much what i meant.

People say he threw 2 picks... almost.

Well he did hit a 40 yard pass that was called back because of a penalty... and he almost hit Evans but Evans was held up....

It goes both ways.... but people prefer to see it the way that makes Edwards look like the #1 issue.

Trent didn't play as bad as he did when he played the browns but it's not much better either after all the talk he's made about Gailey .

Well, Chan has been criticized for his play calling. It turns out Chan called for the long pass, but Trent would not throw it. Chan also wanted to use the screen pass but Trent could not execute it.

No, but your argument seems to break down quickly, then turn into putting words into someone else's mouth, happened a few times in the thread already. Magical? I'm starting to question your understanding of the game. Look at Big Ben, look at Aaron Rodgers, not every top QB is protected by top shelf OLs. Some of the best actually work with some of the worst protection in the league. They happen to be playmakers, you know, the kind you want on your team, and they're able to adjust to and overcome whatever gets thrown their way. Watch them play, watch them make something out of nothing. Good QBs do that. They get rid of the ball quickly instead of patting it every time. They deliver the ball downfield, trust their receivers, and can make average WRs look great.

Don't call Shotgun 75% of the game and run out of shotgun with the offensive line in 2 point stance.

This is an offense that is still trying to find it's identity. I think Gailey is still trying to search for an effective scheme also.

We have to remember this is a brand new offense and it's gonna take awhile... but I'm very confident Gailey will figure it out.

Last I looked we drafted Edwards in the third round. That's the problem with this board. They want Edwards to be first round quality. News Falsh he isn't. If you want Rivers, Ben, Flacco, you need to use a first round pick to get them...and early.

Is he good enough to run a good offense on a good team? Probably.

When he leaves next year I guarantee he won't have the employment issues that Losman had. He'll end up somewhere and probably end up in a playoff game somewhere down the road aka Rich Gannon.

He's the wrong guy for this team. Yes, one of the guys you mentioned would do better here. That's a fact.

He would have been sacked for holding the ball too long if not for that hold on the long pass to Nelson.

So now you blame the refs for Trent sucking?

He tried to make plays and we say he didn't attempt to? Did you happen to see their last drive? You have no choice but to throw a hail mary and he is scrabbling for 5 seconds and threw it out of bounds. Oh, there was a couple check downs in there too.

The only thing that will make this offense better next week is to start another QB. Greenbay plays a 3-4. Trent has no chance. He is like 1-20 vs the 3-4 lifetime.

having 2 almost picked off passes is much worse than having almost 2 adequate plays that you are expecting him to make lots of.

Most QB's don't have 2 INT games.

Most QB's do have games with more than 2 completions of 10 yards or more.

It's not all trent's fault, but Chan and Trent take a large chunk of the blame.

Then why didn't he go deep when we know a good chunk of plays later in the game were designed deep balls? Throw Lee the 50/50 ball, he's shown he can pull it in. I don't call the short completion to someone with no room to make something happen on 3rd and long trying to make plays.

Go back, watch it again, count the seconds he holds the ball on each pass play the average the time the OLine gave him to make the play.

While you're there, take notice of the pocket and where Trent positions himself in the pocket. Also take notice in how he stares down receivers, how he rushes the screen pass, and how he fails to pull the trigger quickly on slants, and under throws on the out patterns. Then, on top of all else, watch how he inaccurately feels the defensive pressure and immediately give in to the check down route.

He has no balls and no business being in the NFL.

He walks the walk in practice and pre-season and then falls flat on his face as soon as he sees a salavating, non-vanilla, defensive squad.

If that's not enough for you. Watch his presser from Sunday. He doesn't even know if Miami's D was in a Zone or Man when he threw the TD to Roscoe. A good QB would spit that out without thinking twice.

We used screens quite a bit last season. Half of the NE gameplan for last year's opener was screens.

Yeah, I know they used the screen & had success with it against N.E. but I don't remember them using it much after that game.

Ha what is funny to me is we had a guy who threw TD passes and we threw him under the bus because a wr made a play on a deep ball a few year back....and now we are giving a guys a pass because a td pass wasn't made on account of a bad call....

Interesting...

This board has become bizzaro world...



I saw an offense that was just shooting itself in the foot and making dumb mistakes.

Edwards did have a couple bad passes... but he also made plays that were negated.

- If it weren't for an "arm bar" he would of hit Evans on a deep pass

- He also hit David Nelson for 40 yards on a 2nd and 20 that was negated by a holding call.

- He also scrambled to his right and hit Lee Evans on a crossing route on a 3rd and long but Evans dropped it....

- He also looked excellent during the 2 minute offense when he had time and it resulted in a 31 yard TD pass.

It seemed to me that Edwards was trying to make plays and he was scrambling to buy time.... but the offense just was completely out of sync. i actually like that fact that he was scrambling and not just sitting in the pocket taking sacks.

Edwards did have his bad plays... but so did everyone else on the offense. Edwards has had worse games... but i can't blame this loss on him like the rest of Bills nation. This loss was a team effort.

Here's all you need to know...when we were down 5 with about 15 seconds left, and we needed 10 yards or so on 4th down....Trent checked down to an underneath WR....

the guy is an absolute pussy and his constant checkdowns were absolutely ridiculous...i had about 15 of my friends texting me while watching the game making fun of his ridiculous short throws. His timid nature is not what we need.

Oh, and yes the team made mistakes and Trent had balls batted down, but I guarantee that he missed many, many opportunities in this game because of his fear of throwing downfield, not to mention the fact that Miami could constantly have 9 or 10 guys near the LOS because they just friggin knew there was no shot in hell of him taking many chances deep. Its very easy to play defense when you only have to really cover the 10 yards past the LOS.

The screen passes that were batted down were Trents fault alone. Those screens were set up perfectly, Trent needs to make those passes.
