7 and 6 Buffalo Bills

by Steve

Who the hell woulda thunk it. The Bills are 7-6 and in the thick of the AFC wildcard rare. They started out 0-3, they have lost 2 embarrassing games in prime time at home. They have juggled quarterbacks, they have a third round rookie starting at QB, their future big time star running back missed 3 games, they play against the Patriots, but then again they play against the Jets and Pats, bunglas and ravennettes.

They haven't beaten anyone with a winning record, but evidently in the nfl you dont have to to be in the playoffs. They could conceivably go 9-7 sneak into the playoffs and not beat a team with a winning record.

Then again who gives a shit. The Bills are playing huge games in December, they are playing a team only 3 hours away across the lake of Erie. 7-6 vs 8-5, playoff implications, Trent Edwards, Derek Anderson, Jamal Lewis, Marshawn Lynch, how could you not be excited.

It was a great atmosphere at the Ralph yet again this past Sunday in an ass whooping of the winless Dolphins. For those who grew up Bills fans in the 70's that had to have been a sweet victory. For young fans like me who only know that Marino was owned by Kelly, and the Dolphins suck worse than the Bills, it was a blow out against a lame team with teal and orange colors with John Beck starting for them.

Tough to stay on track when discussing this game with the Browns looming and me having tickets in the dawgpound for the game but lets discuss it a bit:
  • Trent Edwards is much better than John Beck right now in their careers. Beck taken in the 2nd round looked lost, but didn't have the best protection, his WRs are shit and he had a 4th string rb. Edwards had 2 100 yard rushers, Lee Evans and all day to pass. Either way who would take Beck over Trent right now?
  • Marshawn is a beast, Fred Jackson is a good frick to his frack, ying to his yang, blitz picker uper to Marshawn's red zone insatiability.
  • Evans probably likes Trent a bit more and Losman a bit less after this game.
  • John Digiorgio sucks.
  • Schobel picks up a garbage time sack.
  • How did Whitner not take that ball into the endzone? Nice play by the bust that is #9 over all though to tackle him, he made another nice tackle on McGee on another int.
  • George Wilson, a play maker? too bad he's out for the year?
  • Dick Jauron coach of the year? Reallllly??
  • Who wasn't nervous heading into the 4th before Trent threw that bomb ?
  • Sick by the Bills to show the end of the Titans Chargers game on the jumbo tron after the game. Only the die hards really stayed to watch that. Thanks Bill Rivieria
  • Can everyone else hear the "Lets go Roscoe" chants from the rockpile during punts during the game?
  • How many pro-bowls and Superbowls is Trent Edwards going to win 13? 15?
Quick takes on the Browns which we'll break down furter later in the week
  1. Romeo Crennel? I love it, Bills coaching mismatch of the year outside cam cam.
  2. Jamal Lewis the drug dealer sucks.
  3. The Browns are smoke and mirrors
  4. There better be 20,000+ Bills fans in attendance.
  5. Why aren't the Bills Browns Steelers and Lions in a division?
  6. Bring it Derek Anderson.
