    Bills Spank Dolphins... My game thoughts

    * Our offensive line is really starting to come together. This is the second straight game where RB's had holes to run through. Awesome job again in pass protection. Jason Peters should make the Pro Bowl THIS year. Everybody on the line was great today.

    * We are going to end up with one of the best RB tandems in the league. Marshawn Lynch really is a beast, and Freddie Jackson is really good.. It was awesome to see them each get 100 today, it was deserved.

    * Robert Royal really is a tight end in the offense? wow!

    * It was nice to see Whitner get an interception. Maybe that will get him going.

    * Anthony Hargrove is GANGSTER!!

    * I thought the coaching, game plan and playcalling on both sides of the ball was fantastic.

    Last but certainly not least; let's talk about Trent Edwards. There is NO MORE QB controversy, period.. And if there are any fools left who think his arm is weak; foooooooled you. What a perfect dart to Evans. The first TD to Evans was a perfect touch pass too. Overall, I thought Trent played very, very well. His stats outside of 4 TD's weren't all that great, but he took advantage of pretty much every opportunity. I don't care how ****ty Miami is, you score TD's when you have your shot. Today, the Bills and Edwards in particular were brilliant.

    There wasn't before, but now there is really no doubt in my mind that this kid is going to be a big-time NFL quarterback. Between he and Lynch as rookie offensive forces, how could you not love the long-term possibilities?


    Onto to a few but small bothersome things.

    * Keith Ellison sucks. He misses tackles and worse, he drops interceptions. This is the second straight game one went right off his hands. If the Bills don't make a move this offseason at LB (and I think they will) DiGiorgio is staying in the lineup and Ellison will be out.

    * We had a few too many stupid, annoying penalty. Is it in the Bills rule book that they must hold on returns? Parrish's beauty was negated. I think that's like four holding calls on returns in the past three games. Against a better team that may have costed us more.

    SUmmary:
    Miami really is a terrible, terrible football team. I don't see ANY strengths in that lineup that was out there today. They got a very long way to go. The Fins pretty much heard that bus running about half way through the first quarter.

    Having said that, the Bills did what they had to do today. THey easily beat an opponent they should easily beat. Trent Edwards took a major step today. Chicken arm bashing? Gone. ****ty TD to INT ratio; Gone... This guy is playing with RIDICULOUS confidence. I'm really glad Evans had two TD's as well. These guys need to be on the same page and Im' certain that this will give Evans more confidence in him.

    As luck has it, Tennesee lost. This pretty much puts the Bills in control of their own destiny. Cleveland will be treated like a playoff game and in some regards; it is. We have to be opportunistic next week, just like we were today; to beat them.

    Re: Bills Spank Dolphins... My game thoughts

    Only saw the 1st half but I agree with everything you said, although your love affair with Trent is bordering on MBB levels.

    psst...
    Lynch 23 Car, 107 yards, 1 Fumble Lost, LG 11
    Jackson 15 Car, 115 Yards, Lg 27

    Top 10 back though?

    And before everybody jumps on my ass about being negative, Pat knows exactly what Im talking about here, so chill.
    COMING SOON...

      LOL...

      I just love having a QB that doesn't seem on the verge of near single-handedly blowing a game at any given time.

        Looking objectively, I actually thought Edwards had better control overall in other games, like the last one. I though his accuracy overall today was off from his normal standards. And he missed reading some wide open guys that he hasn't shown me before.

        But his red zone plays have improved. I'm talking about his 2nd and 3rd TD passes. He showed some patience in giving the play that extra second to develop so Royal could slant over. He was also decisive in that throw to Evans. I can tell he's been working on those situations.

        To be honest, I fully expect Edwards' red zone production to go up even before today's game. He's the type of QB perfect for that. Now with success he should be more confident in doing so down the road.

          Ellison's replacement is probably on the roster already...I still think it's a real possibility DiG stays in the middle and Poz is moved to outside next year.

          April's squad is really starting to get to the point where they're disappointing. I'm sure part of it is the constant switching of players due to injuries, but damn...They need to step it up a little bit.

          They almost blew another onside kick today.

            Trent was trying to put too much on the ball in spots today, IMO, and I'm sure (those at the game would be able to correct if I'm wrong) the weather had at least a little bit to do with that. He connected on several nice passes and showed good touch a few times, but today's game was the first watching him where I got the impression it was getting to be a negative trend that he needs to work on.

              He gets 4 td passes and he is off?? You guys need to get your trolling more organized.

              If a Rookie QB throws 4 td's and you win by 21, you have to give credit to him. F- anything else and what he might have missed, what did you expect, 7 TD's because he might have?? Give me a break.

                  Not what you would have said at the beginning of the season when he could have been pegged as Wys's twin sister.

                  I agree his recent posts have been better when he has just been posting what he's been observing, instead of prognosticating (:

                      Bids, EVERYONE is prognosticating at the begining of the season! Pats observations are his personal views, not fact, so he is just making commentary.. and I have felt his commentaries lately have been well thought out and a good read.

                              Your not wrong, I just am saying that we did good today and I will review the game more during the week. I seen a few things today that I didn't like but in all honesty we had a good game and our RB's both got in the game and did well. We need to have more ball control and get points on the board.
