The Bills looked awful

by Steve

One preseason game down three more to go. Can it get any worse? We didn't get to see Brohm (although he's going to play on Thursday and Fitzpatrick will sit), the offensive line was abysmal, Trent Edwards was worse, our running backs all got hurt and the secondary (our only strength) got torched. Yikes.

Things couldn't have been much uglier last night. That is the only bright side. True if Trent would have hit Steve Johnson with that bomb after McNabb's touchdown pass it would have been 10-7 (did Johnson lose the ball in the lights?) but after that the team self destructed.

The quarterbacks for Washington didn't get touched all night, well except for after the play when Maybin felt it necessary to throw them down to the ground. The secondary got destroyed over the middle seemingly at will. Is that a 3-4 linebacking adjustment or are the safeties just lost?

Fred Jackson is out at least a month with a broken hand AND Marshawn Lynch hurt his ankle although it doesn't seem to be too severe. Is there another offensive threat on the team other than Evans? Wait, there is a bright spot, David Nelson. While I wish it was Shawn Nelson that played great, it was undrafted FA David that looked good. And he picked to play here over New England, why, is anyone's guess.

How many other people got the "season is over" text during the game last night? Hopefully this isn't a precursor of things to come but all signs are pointing to a long arduous pitiful season. I'm not giving up hope after one pre-season game but Trent or someone needs to play better at QB, the offensive line can't get worse and this team needs to stay health. Oh and anyone figure out who Cordaro Howard is yet?
