The Bills Are An Embarrassment to the City of Buffalo

-Coast

The Jets embarrassed the Bills and the entire city Sunday. I wasn't pissed about the game. I didn't even care that the Bills lost. I was just completely embarrassed to be a Bills fan. This game was the most one sided football game I have ever seen. The 56-10 game against New England was bad, but this was worse. New England was so good that season and tried running up the score on the Bills. The Jets starters only played 75% of the game and were up 38-7 seemingly effortlessly. The only positive was that this game wasn't on prime time national television. I am going to keep this brief because if I am not careful, I will spend about 500 words tearing up all 53 players on the roster and that could get out of hand.

The Bills deferred at the beginning of the game. Why would you defer when your defense allows over 200 yards rushing a game and is coming off back to back 30 point performances? It seems like a great idea to put your stellar offense in a 7-0 hole right away against one of the best defenses in the league.

Chris Kelsay, fresh off his 4 year extension, got blown up on just about every play of the Jets opening drive. He had a wide open shot at Shonn Green in the backfield and just whiffed. I don't need to talk more about Kelsay. Everyone knows how bad he is. The signing just proves that the organization is content with medicrity.

Evans had one catch for 6 yards in the game. His only catch came with about 25 seconds left in the 4th quarter, so it shouldn't even count. He has 10 catches for 94 yards on the season. He is on pace for 40 catches and 376 yards. He is currently on pace to make $23,936 per reception. How about that deal? The Saints have seven players with 9 or more catches. I know the Bills lack talent overall on offense, but in the third quarter I watched Evans on a series of consecutive plays. He ran a streak down the sideline on every single play. Is he being used as a decoy only? Why not use him in the short to intermediate passing game. The Bills should trade him. There is no point in having him on this roster. Would their passing game be worse if David Nelson, Steve Johnson and Roscoe Parrish were the three main receiving threats? Probably not.

The Jets had 273 yards rushing. In two games last year, the Jets rushed for 249 and 318 yards. The Jets have rushed for 840 yards in three games against the Bills. The Colts ran for 1,294 yards the entire 2009 season...the Jets would do that in 4.5 games against Buffalo.

Tomlinson played like he was 24 agian. He had 133 yards and 2 touchdowns on only 19 carries. That is 7 yards per carry. This was his best game since December 9, 2007 when he rushed for 146 yards. Tomlinson said after the game that some running backs don't slow down when they reach their 30s. LT, you're wrong, they certainly do, the Bills are just THAT bad.

Why won't we trade Lynch? Teams want him. He has some trade value. We don't need him. We are terrible at every single position so the more draft picks we can get, the better. I don't really get it. The Eagles are interested. The Packers were and probably are interested. Get a third for him and let's move on. Having all three running backs doesn't make our team better.

I don't have much else to say. The Bills play Jacksonville this weekend. I thought this was a winnable game until the Jags beat the Colts and the Bills looked like the worst team in the history of the league. I'd take Jacksonville and lay 10.
