Lotta questions no answers

by Steve

God damn that was a bad weekend. It started out harmless enough. Me and a few people wanted to go to Boston to drink, watch the Sabres, watch the Bills, and torch Shaving Cream stadium after we break our 0-9 streak.

The plan started out great. We got to Boston already with Cheatriots tickets and a cheap hotel room. We got in front of TDLAME Bank Northeast Boston Gardens of North Boston North around 6. Plenty of time to cop cheap duckets right? Then it started to rain.

Walked around for an hour amongst many a Sabres fan trying desperately to get into the game to watch the mediocre Bruins lose to the first place Sabres. Well, only two of us got in, me and another dude. The only reason for that was we got lucky cause some chick had no idea what she was doing around 7:01 pm 4 minutes before puck drop.

Cut to the chase. Sabres lost and had to share first place. I got owned by Bruins fans. Paid $50 to park at Shaving Cream stadium and owned Pats fans. Used their grill, were the only people with a funnel. Got free steak. Wore my fuck the pats shirt. Oh yea we lost any share of first place and I had to drive home from Albany that night and work the next day an hour earlier than normal.

It sucked. And I have a lot of questions for this piece of shit football team. However, Sullivan beat me to the chase so read this instead:

Some days, it seems, all you’re left with are questions: Was it any surprise that in the moment of truth, Dick Jauron couldn’t get the challenge flag out in time?

When are the Bills going to draft and develop a true stud lineman in the first round of the draft?

After the last three games, do you wonder if Trent Edwards is suffering aftereffects from the concussion?

Are you starting to have a few reservations about that great 2006 draft?

How come the Steelers, no matter the players or the head coach, are always a tougher team than the Bills?

Are you telling me Angelo Crowell couldn’t help this thin linebacking corps right about now?

Didn’t Jauron sound a little tongue-tied when he was asked why he wasted the timeout at the end of the first half?

Hasn’t Kyle Williams seemed a tad average the last few weeks?

Aren’t you tired of hearing Jauron repeat himself in news conferences, repeat himself in news conferences?

Are you losing a little enthusiasm for the big rematch against the Dolphins up in Toronto on Pearl Harbor Day?

Do you notice a certain lack of passion and competitive fire in them lately? When was the last really big hit?

Don’t you wish it was the Bills who realized Wes Welker could be a dynamite No. 2 wide receiver?

Why do you use the 12th overall pick on a running back if you’re going to give him 15-16 carries a game?

Can the Bills afford to keep Jabari Greer in town when he becomes a free agent after the season?

Don’t you appreciate Aaron Schobel a little more when he’s not on the field?

What does it say when Robert Royal becomes one of the go-to guys in your passing offense?

Did Tim Connolly get hurt again yet? Oops, sorry, wrong sport.

What, you’re telling me Reggie Corner is ahead of Leodis McKelvin on the depth chart at cornerback?

Which game films did the scouts watch that convinced them Derrick Dockery was worth $49 million?

Will Bill Belichick stick around long enough to break Don Shula’s record of 20 straight wins over the Bills?

Does it appear that opposing teams have caught on to the fact that the linebackers are a bit slow in coverage?

Did you turn off the TV during the Pats’ 19-play drive? Were you tempted to put your foot through the set?

Did anyone else have chilling flashbacks to the Bledsoe era Sunday?

What’s the over-under on the number of games it takes Marshawn Lynch to rush for 100 yards again?

The way things are going, will the Chiefs actually be favored when the Bills show up in K. C. in two weeks?

Are the Bills maybe waiting for Jauron to win another game before announcing that contract extension?

If the Bills did promise to talk contract with Jason Peters during the season, what do they say now?

Do you think J. P. Losman was laughing inside, just a little bit, after Edwards’ performance in Foxborough?

What do you suppose Donte Whitner feels worse about right now, the shoulder or the guarantee?

Is Lee Evans ever going to have a 100-yard receiving day against the Pats? Did you know he hasn’t had more than 40 yards against them in a game since 2005?

Can you believe Roscoe Parrish has had 60 yards receiving in a game just once in his career?

How did the Bills manage to make Matt Cassel look like Doug Flutie on those scrambles up the middle Sunday?

How good is Paul Posluszny, really?

When will I learn not to overreact when the Bills get off to a hot start?
