Jags Beat Bills 18-15

-Coast

The Bills lost in typical Buffalo Bills fashion Sunday, 18-15 to the Jacksonville Jaguars. The Bills had two touchdowns taken off the board due to stupid penalties. An illegal hands to the face by John Scott wiped out a touchdown bomb to Lee Evans. A chop block on Geoff Hangartner (or Seth McKinney) wiped out a touchdown run by Fred Jackson. Those 14 points turned into only 3 points and obviously was the difference in the game. New coach, same undisciplined football team.

The Bills no longer have Dick Jauron and it was a breath of fresh air, however the disaster that was the end of the first half was typical Dick Jauron. I could easily blame the coach...it was Perry Fewell's first game, he has no experience dealing with time outs...I guess...but Fitzpatrick, come on...have you no awareness? You are the quarterback. After the slant to Owens, call timeout and you have 14 seconds to take 2 or 3 shots to the end zone. Absolutely terrible. A running play? What is this, week 17 against New England last year? I wish the Bills would have run out of time...it would have been so typical of this season.

At least the Bills offense showed some life yesterday. The only problem is that the life was provided by two players that will have 0 impact on the rebuilding of this team next year. Who really cares if Terrell Owens receives for 197 yards? I don't. I would rather see James Hardy and Steve Johnson combine for 43 yards. Seriously, why play T.O.? Also, why is Ryan Fitzpatrick starting at quarterback? I don't care if he gives us a "better chance to win one game right now." He has a 0 percent chance of being our starting quarterback next year. As much as I hate Trent Edwards, he has a better chance of starting next season, so why not play him? It seriously doesn't make any sense at all. I really don't need to see Ryan Fitzpatrick staring down T.O. all game trying to throw him the ball as much as possible because he is probably scared of T.O. That does absolutely nothing for this franchise.

The only players I care about are Marshawn Lynch, Lee Evans, Shaun Nelson, James Hardy, Steve Johnson and our young offensive line. The only problem is that Lynch is having a brutally terrible year and got hurt, Steve Johnson cannot find the field, James Hardy can't get back from injury, Lee Evans is invisible more often than not, and every single lineman we have gets injured. Seriously, 1 catch for 15 yards Evans? I would have loved it if it was him having 197 yards and a T.D. How many more offensive lineman can we possibly lose? Eric Wood broke his leg and will be added to the injured reserve. D. Bell can't stay healthy. Wood will join Butler on the IR along with backup Seth McKinney. Geoff Hangartner and Andy Levitre are the only starters remaining. Good thing we cut Walker and Dockery and traded Peters.

The Bills play Miami at home next week. Fitz will probably start and throw to T.O. as much as possible. We will again learn nothing about the future of this football team and will still find a way to lose. I am happy Jauron is gone...but Fewell knows he must go 5-2 or better to have a chance at this job and because of that he will keep doing what he feels is best to win "one game" rather than what is best for this franchise in the long run.
