Buffalo Bills 38 Oakland Raiders 35 F

by Steve

Holy smokes what a game. Gotta love an erroneous transmission though don't you? Da'Norris, KNOCK IT DOWN next time bro. Either way what a second half of football at OBD Sunday.

Fitzy and the offense were unstoppable, literally. They scored a touchdown on every possession and actually gave me confidence we would win if we had the ball last. True, at half time I was predicting the Bills would go 1-15. And yeah I was arguing with "Sabres" fans about how much of a loser Lindy Ruff is but who wouldn't after watching Jason Campbell shred the defense in the first 30 minutes.

Is Shawne Merriman alive? How about Kyle "stud" Williams? Did those guys dress on Sunday? At least Al Davis will save on Campbell's dry cleaning bill this week. Where the hell was the pressure? Zero sacks for either team? Is there a starting caliber CB on this team? A bunch of no name-ers ran roughshod through the secondary. The Raiders went 8-12 on third down, really boys?

It is officially time to pay Stevie Johnson though. Anyone still worried his stats will suffer sans Lee Evans? The guy is a straight stud even if he drops a few passes every game. David Nelson may not be a no name-er any more either. Fred Jackson has finally won me over as an actual running back in the National Football League. Also who is Scotty Chandler's agent, dude needs to ink an extension of his own.

This team is still an average team at best with an average head coach. There is little doubting Chan Gailey's offensive prowess but as far as a head coach? Meh. George Edwards needs the boot and it is extremely puzzling how he was even brought back for 2011. If this team couldn't keep the Raiders under 35 what is going to happen next week against Tom Brandy?

Then again maybe the Raiders aren't as sub par as we all think. Either way the Bills are 2-0 as I predicted (re-watch Searcy's pick and tell me you don't give George Wilson some major props on that play) and have the 2-0 Patriots coming into our barn next week. AND this time we know to get onto Southwestern around 8am to get into the lots before 9:30. CAN'T WAIT.
