Buffalo bills @ Jacksonville Jaguars preview

by Steve

Does any Bills fan really care about this game? Oh wait never mind, Dick Jauron isn't our head coach any more!!! We won't be subjected to sideline pans of a comatose listless lifeless head coach. That alone is worth watching. Too bad Ryan Fitzpatrick is starting.

Shockingly the Jags and all 35,000 fans still have playoff aspirations. And really who am I to say they shouldn't. Other than a -39 point differential, a coach who has seemingly been on the hot seat for half a decade and a team quarterbacked by David Garrard. But hey they are above .500 playing decent in their division and a running back harder to tackle than an H1N1 vaccination.

Even though the Bills are 3-6, pretty much out of the playoffs, starting a career backup at QB, getting at least 9 points AND have an interim head coach, for some reason I feel somewhat confident about their chances. Sure Maurice Jones-Drew is going to get 150 yards and taste the end zone but doesn't that happen to the Bills every game? I wouldn't be shocked if this squad came out Sunday ready for a brawl.

With Fewell actually showing emotion and inspiring the troops maybe it will be a completely different team than we are accustom to watching. "He brought some energy we haven't seen before," receiver Lee Evans said. "He brought that to the team meeting room and told us to practice with some energy and play with a purpose."

Then again Stroud is out Bryan Scott is still our starting strong side LB and Jairus Byrd is questionable so maybe we'll just get curb stomped. The Jags only real injuries are to Mathias and their starting ILB Durant is out and because we can't really run or pass the ball those injuries aren't a huge plus.

Barring a Brian Brohm sighting this game will be another painful visual experience. (At least Jags "fans" not attending the game won't be subjected to it) Byrd gets another pick, Del Rio tries to hand us the game, Lynch and Jackson continue to hibernate and JAX comes out listless as the Bills cover 21-13 in another losing effort.
