    Things that just leave you scratching your head about this team.

    Okay after watching the game and thinking about our FO:

    1) Corner has been playing great since we drafted him. Why did we sign McGee long term?

    2) Kelsay is better than Maybin. So we drafted a guy that can't play as well as the guy we are hoping to replace?

    3) If Ellis and Chambers are on the roster why keep them inactive every week?

    4) Was Derek Fine in the game after Shouman got hurt?

    5) I know we are just unlucky but by week 2 our injury list is always extradorinary. There is a pattern here.

    6) TO and Evans can't catch balls. So why is Edwards getting blamed for not throwing the deep ball?

    Re: Things that just leave you scratching your head about this team.

    1) Why can't we have both
    2) Kelsay's getting older
    3) I thought Ellis was active
    4) Didn't see him
    5) I agree
    6) He did throw deep. They both had a TD.

      Yeah, and Ownes and Evans both dropped balls that hit them in the hands deep.

      I'm just tired of hearing about how it's Edwards fault.

          1. McGee is the best corner on the team.

          2. Maybin is a rookie. Duh. Is this even a legit question? (Not to mention Kelsy played his best two games in a few years). And Schobel is 32, nearing the end of his career. There are a number of answers.

          3. The Bills, and the rest of the NFL, are only allowed so many players active on gameday. By rule, they have 46 active players meaning 7 are inactive. Somebody has to be inactive.

          4. yes. And before that too. The Bills ran the ball more in the 4th quarter as they tried to protect the lead.

          5. Always? I have also not compared to the rest of the NFL.

          6. Evans did not drop anything, but we know TO does. I have defended Edwards on this too. His problem is that he can throw it, but does not do it enough.


          Now a question for you:

          1. Did you enjoy this win at all? Two threads since the EOG and both are 100% negative.

            3) If Ellis and Chambers are on the roster why keep them inactive every week? Thats fairly normal so I guess all FO's are inept! Really, you just asked that?

            4) Was Derek Fine in the game after Shouman got hurt? Yes, watch the game again and look for the guy with the jersey that says FINE on the back.

            5) I know we are just unlucky but by week 2 our injury list is always extradorinary. There is a pattern here. Hey, guess what Chambers may be active next week, which will make our FO smarter!

            Kidding, right?

                1) It's called depth. And it's important.

                2) Maybin is a rookie who has played 2 games. You're writing him off already?

                3) Six players are inactive every week.

                4) Fine played after Schouman went out.

                5) Two of the injuries were knees, one was a shoulder and one was an ankle. Are you making that silly conditioning argument again? It holds no water.

                6) TO is known to drop balls. Evans rarely drops one. They both can get deep and catch long passes. We all know that Trent will have to throw long to make this offense fully functional. Trent does not get blamed for drops by his receivers.
                Should have known, way back in 1960 when we drafted Richie Lucas Number 1, that this would be a long, hard ride. But who could have known it would be THIS bad?

                  So do you REALLY want our FO to draft another 2-3 CB's next year?

                      What pass did Lee drop? I really don't remember one. There was one to the end zone, but the defender got a hand on it. We are just used to Lee still making that catch, but you can't call it a "drop". It was a "pass defensed".

                        Lee Evans has great hands.

                          If he is calling that pass a drop, it was not. That was literally right in front of me and that pass was broken by a very good play by the Tampa DB.

                          I don't think Evans dropped one.

                            Seriously, I try not to be a homer, but this seems like you're just trying to be a contrarian just for the hell of it.

                            The Maybin comment has to be a joke, right? I thought he looked great in pre-season and at NE for holding out as long as he did - so he didn't have a great game - he didn't get a ton of snaps either.

                            And, I am not fan of this FO, but if you were going to be intellectually honest, then you would at least have to give it to them so far for the two rookies they drafted and decided to start on the O-Line which has exceeded my expectations by a mile.
