The offense put us ahead 21-0. The offense tied the game at the end.
The Bills scored at will.
Gronk didn't stand out? You need a new TV...Today we played terrible as a TEAM. That means everybody included.
The only person that really stood out today was Wes Welker. Anybody still wanna trade him?
The premise of this thread is absolutely the strangest reaction to a loss I've ever seen. Never in my wildest imagination and I'm an imaginative guy, would I have thought that someone after this team debacle would have blamed Edelman. Edelman!?!
Interesting. I didn't realize it was Edelman who threw four interceptions and gave up 34 points to the Bills offense today.
Maybe I need to re-watch the game later?
No, it was our MVP quarterback who did that, but he'll be playing at an elite level again before you can blink. Edelman, though, just is not good. I hope the Pats consider cutting him when Price comes in; I'm sure ko and punt returning duties can be assumed by a player who can also contribute on offense or defense.
I was actually thinking we should cut Ocho and move Edelman to the #3 receiver spot.
Ummm... maybe instead of wildly dreaming you should read the original post. I did not say I blamed him for this loss, I said I've come to the realization that he is useless in our offense. It was obvious in the second half that Brady would only throw to Welker or Gronkowski. Branch, not sure what happened to him. Ochocinco, we know his story. Edelman, when is the last time he has proven to be a serviceable player outside of special teams? Edelman was not to blame today, but the other players have fixable problems. Edelman just does not belong.

How can that 'conclusion' be a result of what you saw? Did you watch 84 today? 85?
This was a game where Hernandez was out, Ochocinco screwed up on that route which led to the interception, Branch was taken out of the game, and Edelman, in his third year with team, did nothing again.
What is your "conclusion" about Edelman's production in the offense since his first game in 2009?
I can't believe everyone is so hostile about this thread. Why can't we agree that, regardless of today's scheme/performance, this guy is a complete non-factor in the offense.
You just admit that Ochocinco was detrimental and Edelman had no effect on the outcome but want Edelman gone. It makes great sense if you don't think about it at all.
He is completely useless in the spread offense. Not sure why we wouldn't just put two running backs on the field with three WRs, rather than putting four WRs with Edelman. His first game he had over 100 yards receiving, and that was back in 2009. Since then, he's done nothing.
As bad as Ochocinco played, at least he has the talent to make defenses note that he is on the field and needs to be covered.
I've admitted that several times. For the last time, I'm not praising Ochocinco; I am not saying Edelman is to blame for the loss today. What I'm saying is that my book is closed on Edelman, and most on here just don't have the stones to admit what they see. Edelman was a great prospect his rookie year, had a 100-yard game in Week 2, had a 100-yard playoff game against the Ravens, and looked like a legitimate option in our offense. He is not good, though, and he never will be; he shows no signs of being anything close to reliable.
Edelman will never be a good offensive player, so we might as well get rid of him and have Price duke it out with Ochocinco for playing time. Right now, there's no one competing with. I'd be all for cutting Ochocinco if Edelman didn't suck, which is why it's more frustrating to explain this.
The problem with that is he can't catch a cold unless he's wide open, and even that isn't a given...
I fear that the coaches love Edleman's want to the detriment of using better suited weapons...or at least that seemed to be in play today. Edleman as a RB?? Edleman is a poor man's Wes Welker, and it's fine to have him on the roster as a returner and for WR depth considering how important Welker is. But nobody went down that I can recall so it's as if this staff can't resist the impulse to get too cute...
Is this thread for real? A call out to Edelman, after today? Hey, let's bag on Mesko, too, while we're at it.
