What is this feeling of satisfaction I have after week 8 of the Buffalo Bills season? I don't know how to react any more. The usual feelings of dread, buyers remorse, anger, frustration, ambivalence and disgust aren't there any more. Weird.
Quite the yawner of a game though wasn't it? The Bills dominated from the get go. 9 sacks, a shutout, and everyone was involved from Moats to Fitzy Fitz noodle arm and Marcell Dareus. Either we have ourselves a pretty damn good football team or the Washington Redskins are absolutely dreadful.
In all likelihood it is a bit of both. Shanny and his team suck. The 'skins offensive line was atrocious. The blame falls more on them than credit goes to the Bills attack. It appears a healthy Arthur Moats is an upgrade over a decrepit injured Shawne Merriman (why the hell did they ever try and convert him to an inside linebacker???). But did anyone have a bad game for the Bills today? Did Brian "geico" Orakpo even dress?
Fitzmagic Fitzpatrick even gave us one of his killer interceptions and it didn't come back to haunt us, rare. CJ "I exist" Spiller even made a few cameo appearances and I can't recall any Stevie Johnson drops. The Bills just out coached, out efforted and out played a bad team in front of a decent (for Toronto standards) crowd in a boring game.
The only real story after this game is that the NY Jets roll into the Ralph on Sunday in what will end up being the most important game of the season. It is against a real team with a supposedly good head coach and a solid defense. With this bunch there isn't a whole hell of a lot of absolute faith and this team will continue to have to prove themselves week in and week out. The Jets game Sunday could possibly convert most if not all fans to fully buy into this team.
We're talkin about playoffs??!?!

My notes from the game:
ReplyDelete~Uni's looked good- they are really pretty
~Snoozer- Quite the snoozer
~Fitzpatrick- finds ways to make the noodle work.
~Dareus- SJ85 (Steve Janis) thought he was a bust last week.
~Uni's really did look good.
~Torontos field is dreadful
~Crowd is quite disinterested- they need to not renew games in Toronto or make tickets $20 so people like us can't resist but go.
~NYJets- biggest game of the year, can't let this one slip away.
~Who to root for? NEPats- accepting theyre gonna win the division anyway or SHITTSBURGH- cause we hate NE and we have a legit shot at division. Either way it's always good to see one of them go down, esp Thom.
~Go Bills- we are legit. If we don't make the playoffs this year IDK if we ever will :(

ReplyDelete~ "it was the first time that Mike Shanahan had a shutout loss in 24 seasons as an NFL coach or offensive coordinator."
Will Spiller end up with more carries or catches
