The Bills have hit rock bottom

-Coast

The Bills have reached an all time low. Not only have they hit rock bottom on this 2011 season, but this recent 3 game stretch is the worst 3 game stretch in team history. The Bills have been outscored 106-26 in this 3 game debacle. Never in the history of the franchise have the Bills had a 3 game stretch where they have been outscored by more than 80 points. Not in the 3-13 2001 season. Not in any of the back to back 2-14 seasons in the 1980s. Not even in the 3 game stretch that included the 56-10 drubbing to New England on Sunday Night. The Bills went 1-13 in 1971 and 1-12-1 in 1968...they didn't have a 3 game stretch this bad in either of those years. The Bills have lost the last 3 games by 16, 37 and 28 points. The Bills once again have tricked us into believing...this year more than ever. I thought this team was different. I thought the players had heart. I really thought they had something special. Heart can't make up for a severe lack of talent and that is what this football team has. I predicted 5-11 before the season. This wasn't the way that I envisioned them getting to 5-11, but if I had to put my money on anything right now, it would be that they run the table in reverse.

The offensive line is decimated. Eric Wood's trip to the IR, again, has crippled us. Somehow we entered the season with one person that could play center. Did they think Eric Wood was invincible? He broke his leg in his career already. They cut the starting center from 2011. They said Hangartner was too weak...but we all know that in reality, they are pinching pennies. It's embarrassing. One center on a roster on an NFL team. Levitre failed miserably in his opportunity at the center position. He couldn't even snap the ball to Fitzpatrick. Now Urbik is going to get a chance. I am not expecting a much better result. We all feared the lack of depth on the offensive line. The starters weren't great and backups probably shouldn't be playing in the league. This is all coming back to haunt us now.

The receiving core has gotten killed with injuries. Remember when Roscoe Parrish played on this team? Will Marcus Easley ever remain healthy? Donald Jones joins them on the injured reserve leaving the Bills with players like Kamar Aiken and Derek Hagan on the 53 man roster. Yes, that is correct, our wide receiving core for this weeks game is Steve Johnson (who is not 100%), David Nelson (who got banged up last week), Naaman Roosevelt (is he the 2?), Ruvell Martin, Brad Smith, Kamar Aiken and Derek Hagan. At least we traded Evans. Revis and Chromartie need not dress for this one.

The best player on our team this year, Fred Jackson, is on the IR now. This will give Cliff an opportunity to show what he can do. I am predicting 5 carries for 4 yards for Spiller before we abandon the run down 28 in the 2nd quarter.

The defense isn't in much better shape...not only do they suck, but they have also suffered devastating injuries. If you asked me before the season who the two best players on our defense were, I probably would have said Shawne Merriman (and don't tell me you wouldn't have after watching him in the preseason) and Kyle Williams. They both are on IR. George Wilson has been a bright spot this season and is having a great year. He missed last weeks game, who knows what his status is. Kelsay has been in and out of the lineup. Terrance McGee is on the IR. 2nd round pick Aaron Williams has played in like 2 games. Puke.

Why are the Bills constantly decimated with injuries. Well, to me it is simple. The Bills lack talent. Their players are slower than their opponents. They are weaker and less physical. When you are outmatched physically, you have a better chance of getting injured and that is simply the problem for the Bills.

The Bills have 6 games left. They have road games vs. the Jets, Patriots and Chargers. They will lose all three. I don't care if San Diego is on a 7 game skid and has completely mailed it in by the time we play them, they will kill us. We play the Titans, Broncos and Dolphins at home. I don't see us winning any of those games. Tebow doesn't lose, the Titans are better and Miami, well we all watched last weeks game. The Bills are going to finish 5-11. They are going to pick 7th in the draft and will probably draft a running back. It's incredible how far this team has fallen in a 3 week span.
