I dont see how you can get down on Trent…Did you pay any attention to Eli?
Trent needs to work on his bad weather skills. He is sharp on good weather days. He came from California…it will take a bit for him to figure out the winds and weather of the North East.
He is the answer and is doing phenomenal for a rookie.
The coaching staff needs to help him figure out the elements…no more field house practices and he should be just fine.
Yeah really Trent played well, cant blame him for tipped balls that got intercepted or the numerous dropped balls. I think they are still restraining him with bad playcalling too.
I don’t think any teams would of gone airborne yesterday. The Bills did in the opening drives but then the weather went to shit and with those powerful gusts passing plays would of been a big risk. The Giants have one of the best rush defenses in the league and the Bills suffered.
People love to hate Eli cause he’s a Manning and Payton after 10 yrs != Eli after 3. Payton started out as a back up… Eli will get better with time. NYG offensive line has been giving more room in the pocket and Eli has been getting it done.
Then look at what happened to him last week vs Washington. Same as Edwards the ball kept getting tipped and then intercepted. On top of that, Jacobs dropped over 5 passes and no one on the team felt like catching the ball. None of which was Eli’s fault, even if the stats point to him. He was making the throws and was on target.
I think the Bills are a strong team now and will have a good run next year. I’d be surprised if they don’t find themselves in the playoffs, and not as a wild card team either.
#1 Wrong. Peyton started every game his rookie year, and since. Eli was the one who was a backup #2 Peyton had more poise and confidence in clutch situations @ 10 years old than Eli ever will. His play quality is directly correlated to how early/meaningless the situation is. #3 He brought it upon himself with his draft antics and hand picking the league’s harshest market to play in. Fuck him. If his name was Eli Jones he would have lost his job by now. #4 Rivers and the rest of my boys could have beaten denver by 50 tonight if they felt the need. Good thing we didn’t get the chance to have Eli instead of the 4 Pro Bowlers we got for him.
you can win with a caretaker QB if you can run and stop the run, hit the short ones, and don’t turn the ball over. Not pretty, but the bills don’t have the equipment to run a high-risk vertical offense anyway. Edwards outplayed the other rookie QB’s this year, so don’t give up on him yet.
Ralph will never buck up for a big name head coach and as far as a GM i think its gonna be anyone who will listen to him even though hes senile. At the rate hes going i would wager that our next GM could possibly me mayor McCheese.
