FUCK THE OVERRATED PATRIOTS

by Steve

You wanna talk over rated, smoke and mirrors, lucky, get every call, might have paid the refs, whiners, bitches, pussies, cock suckers, jokes, OVER RATED, pieces of shit, well look no further than the New England Patriots.

Sure they cheat, sure they've been fined heavily, proven with out a shadow of a doubt that they cheated, and aren't as good as they seem, but when will they truly be exposed for the over rated pieces of shit whiner pussies that they truly are? Tonight against the Ravens.

Not only did they complain and whine and carry on like they always do, and not only did they get every penalty called in their favor like they always do, but they also in a perfect trifecta got all the lucky in their favor as well. It is rare when such a good team can be pissed on and called cheaters and liars and over rated but this team can and is over rated.. It is all smoke and mirrors.

4th down a defensive coordinator calls a time out after the Ravens stop Fagbrady on a 4th and 1 run. Then a an offsides after the Patracheats get stuffed on 4th down. No it didn't end there with the bad calls luck and the like, on 4th and 6 in side the 10 they get a phantom ticky tack "holding" on the defense for a first and goal from the 3. Then they get a questionable touchdown that could have gone either way and of course the refs give it to them

Then, something I have never seen in my entire life, a team kicks off from the opponents 35 yard line cause the refs are obviously out of the closet Gaytriots fans.

What is worse is this N.E. cheaters team isn't all that good. Sure they can pass but they suck when it is cold out, or raining, or snowing. They can't run the ball, they can't stop the run. They have a bunch of old decrepit linebackers come in on goal line situations for god knows why.

I love the fact that this team is going to lose at home in January probably to the Bills. The Patriots are built fur September-early December. They have the oldest most shitty rotting linebacking corps in the league, they running back is an injury prone piece of shit and can't effectively run the ball. Think about it.. snowing blowing windy they won't be able to pass, Moss is useless, Brady will be crying and the refs can continuesly give them all of these calls.

Not to mention Brady choking against the Raiders before they "won" their first superbowl mike martz handed to them. Yeah, when Brady fumbled. Look at the quarterbacks playing against the Patriots in the NFL. Compare the QB's now to say the early 90's. Aikman, Cunningham, Moon, Kelly, Marino, Elway, etc etc. Maybe 1 hall of famer in Manning that is it right now. They didn't even make the playoffs during their 'superbowl "dynasty"' in 2002. Give me a fucking break.

HOLY SHITTTTTTTTT SMOKE AND MIRRORS FOLKS SMOKE AND MIRRORS (congrats on Belichick's success in Cleveland too)

Alright fine, you want numbers? How about 24 point favorites? They won by less than 7, how about 18.5 they won bye 3. Statically they are over rated if they can't cover the spread. A little bit?

Bills 17 Redskins 16

by Coast

Unbelievable. Incredible. I still can't believe what I saw happen today. An incredible last second win and yes, finally, the Bills were not the victims of an unbelievable finish. Instead it was the Bills with the improbable last second win. Did we see the birth of a franchise quarterback today? The jury is still out but Trent Edwards took a stride today that JP Losman took 3 years to make. Edwards was mediocre all game. He was inaccurate on some throws. The Bills offense sputtered when they got inside scoring territory. But, when the game was on the line, Trent made perhaps the best throw I have seen a Bills quarterback make in that type of situation in my entire life as a Bills fan. The play came with 27 seconds left in the fourth quarter. It was first and 10 from the Bills 37 and Buffalo had no time outs. They needed a miracle. Then, Edwards fired a dart over the middle for 30 yards, in between 4 Redskin defenders, right in stride to Josh Reed to the Redskin 33. A 30 yard gain and the most clutch throw in recent memory.

Yeah, the Bills offense did struggle for a lot of the day. They looked awful in some situations. But what really matters in this game is your rookie third round pick. A guy that I have said I didn't want in the game. A guy I said isn't ready to be an NFL starter. He proved me wrong in a big way. He looked un-phased. He never looked nervous. On that last possession, he seemed like everything was under control even though all Bills fans were pretty close to killing themselves or at least I was. Edwards may have just had that one moment that allows a young quarterback to emerge onto the scene in the NFL and he is only a rookie.

I was impressed today, but I am not ready to anoint Edwards as a future all pro. I just saw a sign of something special on that last drive. All that said, the offense needs to improve in the red zone. The Bills scored no touchdowns today and I can't really blame Trent for any of that. The Bills killed themselves in the red zone with penalties. Twice in the red zone the Bills took holding penalties that really shot themselves in the foot. Also, the fumble by Royal killed them on another drive in which they were nearing the red zone. Without those penalties, who knows what could have happened.

Freddy Jackson has solidified himself as the number two running back on this roster. What a day for him. Jackson had 82 yards rushing and 69 yards receiving for 151 total yards on the day. This was only with 20 touches. That is 7.5 yards per touch. He made a huge play on a 54 yard reception that set up points. Fred never seemed to take negative plays either. He ran tough inside and showed great hands out of the backfield. What a one two punch him and Lynch can be.

I have had enough of number 84. This guy kills us week in and week out and I don't know why he is on the roster. Royal fumbled in scoring territory and then took a holding that put us in a hole in scoring territory again. There is just a laundry list of plays where this guy has killed us in the 28 games he has been a member of this team. I think everyone knows how I feel about Robert Royal and it gets proven every week. This guy is an idiot. His IQ has to be 2 maybe 5 if that. What does he do that is a positive? He doesn't catch passes down the field. Is he really this good of a blocker? He better be in a league with Steve Hutchinson because that is the only way his blocking should warrant him being on the team. I am done with Robert Royal and have been since week one 2006.

The Bills defense stepped it up today in the 2nd half big time. What a job by them today. After watching Washington just march the ball all over them in the first half, the Bills defense made big play after big play in the 2nd half. The Bills bent significantly in the first half, but all that said, they only allowed 3 field goals. In the 2nd half, the Bills were able to force some turnovers and they came from an extremely surprising source. Defensive tackle Larry Tripplett had his best game as a Bill. On back to back possessions, Tripplett intercepted a pass and then forced a fumble. Each turnover led to Bills field goals. The Bills also were able to generate a pass rush for the first time in weeks or possibly all season. The Bills sacked Jason Campbell 3 times including once for a safety. The Bills run defense was great all game as well. They were only able to generate 80 yards on the day. Portis had 25 carries for only 50 yards and the Redskins offense as a whole only generated 282 yards.

The Bills special teams was again bad today. Rock Cartright averaged 26.8 yards per kick return. The Redskins seemed to always be starting drives around the 40. On the other side, McGee only averaged 12.7 yards per return. The Bills also took stupid penalties on special teams destroying field position. Two holding calls today cost the Bills. Brian Moorman sucked again today. He keeps shanking punts and it is unexplainable. A 35 yard average for Moorman is not what we expect. Whats more, pooch kick offs were fumbled by tightends and linemen twice resulting in near turnovers, WTF Neufeld you are a tightend catch the ball!

Finally I can take this opportunity to say for the first time ever, Dick Jauron you impressed me at the end of the game. Jauron was all over the back to back time out unsportsmanlike call. As soon as Washington called the second time out Jauron was screaming that's 15 yards. He knew the rule and him speaking up may have alerted the officials. Jauron needed to redeem himself after not challenging the non fumble call on Cooley's reception on the Redskins first possession.(Although if the play on the field was ruled incomplete the defense can not challenge it calling it a catch allegedly) What is wrong with NFL coaches? Joe Gibbs, the hall of famer, doesn't even know the rules. How come every game there are decisions by coaches where you just scratch your head and wonder what the hell these idiots are thinking. These guys get paid millions of dollars and seem to just be completely lost at times. If you are a hall of famer, you know the rules Gibbs. Stick to Nascar buddy.

The Bills put themselves right in the middle of the playoff race with this win. As we speak, the Cardinals lead the Browns 27-21(now a final) and the Browns have the ball at the 35 of Arizona with 15 seconds left. Assuming the Browns lose, the Bills will sit one game behind the Titans and Browns for the final playoff spot in the AFC. And the Browns have lost so here are your up to the minute AFC standings.

Patriots 11-0
Colts 10-2
Steelers 8-3
Chargers 7-5
Jaguars 8-4
Browns 7-5 (5-4)
Titans 7-5 (4-4)
Bills 6-6 (5-5)
Broncos, Texans 5-7

The Bills are somehow one game out and next week they got the 0-12 Dolphins at home. This team is a live big time. Beat Miami and you got yourself a showdown week 15 at Cleveland Browns stadium, winner potentially takes a strangle hold on the AFC wild card race.

Absolutely unbelievable.

Week 13: Bills @ Redskins

by Coast

The Bills last stand has to be tomorrow if they still want to think about the playoffs. Despite the embarrassment of the past 2 weeks, the Bills are in the fray in the AFC wildcard race. The current standings for the playoffs in the AFC taking tie breakers into effect are as follows:

1. Patriots 11-0
2. Colts 9-2
3. Steelers 8-3
4. Chargers 6-5
5. Jaguars 8-3
6. Browns 7-4 (5-4 Conf.)
7. Titans 6-5 (3-4 Conf.)
8. Broncos 5-6 (5-3 Conf.)
9. Bills 5-6 (5-5 Conf.)
10. Texans 5-6 (3-5 Conf.)

The Bills are right in the mix, no matter how you look at it and how bad you think the team is, they are right in the mix. They play @Washington, Miami, @Cleveland, NY Giants, @ Philadelphia. I am not scared of any of those teams.

It all must start tomorrow. The Bills are taking on a team in Washington that has lost 3 games in a row and lost their best defensive player Sean Taylor earlier this week. If you are a Redskin fan you can hope that the team will rally around the passing of Sean Taylor and use the pure emotion to carry you through the day. The fact of the matter is, it was impossible for this team to prepare for this game during the week. In order to prepare for an NFL football game, your heads have to be 100% into the job at hand during the week, and for the players, football was the last thing on their minds.

It will be Trent Edwards getting the start for the Bills on Sunday and rightfully so. JP Losman has earned the right to be benched. He has played three consecutive awful games and last week when the team needed him to be at his best, he was at his worst. The Bills now need to find out what the rookie third round pick brings to the table and they have 5 games to do so. He has proven to be efficient in completing a high percentage of passes. He has proved that he can move the chains and keep our defense off the field. That may be the biggest key. The Bills defense cannot stop anyone so long time consuming field goal producing drives could be just what the doctor ordered.

Trent will have to work tomorrow with little or no running game. Fred Jackson is getting the start, the first of his career. Jackson is a small, fast, and illusive back who is a good receiver out of the backfield. He also showed toughness last week in converting a 4th and 1 on the ground. The coaches showed a lot of confidence in Jackson by giving him the ball in that spot. Edwards will look to pass to Jackson early and often as he might be the best pass catcher on the field tomorrow. In just the 2nd half last week, Jackson had 5 catches for 47 yards, only 3 yards behind the bills leading receiver on the game Josh Reed. Edwards loves the check down, so expect a lot of number 22.

The defense needs to play better. I don't expect much from them, but in the past 2 games they have surrendered 85 points offensively. They haven't come close to getting a sack and the defense took the ball away zero times. They couldn't get off the field on third down and just have not been able to stop opponents from scoring (4 stops in the last 19 drives by opponents.) The Bills coaches must come up with a way to pressure the quarterback. Any NFL quarterback, whether you are Jason Campbell or Tom Brady, will be able to have success if the defense cannot apply any pressure. It is time for the 50 million dollar man Aaron Schobel to make his presence felt. He will have to pick up his game with his fellow overpaid defensive end Chris Kelsay out of the game. The Bills 2nd year safety is a solid player, but it is about time he makes a big play. He only has one interception in his 2 seasons thus far. Fewell must be aggressive tomorrow. Bring blitzes from all different directions at Jason Campbell. The Redskin receivers are undersized just like the Bills so the corners should be able to match up with them. It is time for the defense to get back to it's mid season form when the Bills were running off 5 wins in 6 games.

So what are the keys to victory tomorrow?

First off the Bills must weather the early storm from the Redskins. There will be a lot of emotion in the stadium early in the game and the Redskins will feed off that. Just hang tough early and when the emotion subsides, the Redskins inability to prepare this week should show.

Trent Edwards needs to do what he does and move the chains. Control the clock and keep the Bills undersized, overmatched defense off the field. Get the ball to the backs out of the backfield and take what the defense gives you. Then, take an occasional shot down the field to someone if they can get open.

Steve Fairchild needs to find a way to get the ball to his weapons. Lee Evans, the Bills biggest threat, did not touch the ball until the Bills final drive of the game. Throw some wide receiver screens to Evans, get him the ball on an end around, do something to get him involved. Do the same with Parrish, just get the ball in this guys hands any way possible. The short passes to these guys might need to act like our running game this week.

Field position will be important so the Bills special teams needs to play better than they have. Morman needs to stop shanking punts, and the players need to stop taking stupid penalties. Roscoe, I am not sure if you know how to count to 11 but I am hoping you could have learned during the week so please make sure we have the correct number of guys on the field on a punt. How does a 12 men on the field penalty happen on a punt? Doesn't everyone know if they are in the punt team or not? It is inexcusable.

Prediction: The Bills will probably lose tomorrow but I am going to pick them to win just in case that they come through. The Bills really are worse than Washington all over the field but that is the case week in and week out. The Redskins are reeling and things in Redskin park have turned disastrous this week. Lindell has 4 field goals tomorrow including one in overtime and the Bills get the win 19-16.

Let's go Bills, Let's go Bills, Let's go Bills, Ba Ba Ba Ba Ba Ba Billllllls.

Trent Edwards QB of the present

by Steve

In a move that was largely anticipated, although not until at least Wednesday, Tricky Dicky J today pulled the plug on Johnathan Paul Losman and his career as a Buffalo Bill. Somewhat sadly and extremely disappointingly, JP's career in Buffalo is unofficially officially over. He didn't do enough, he didn't improve enough, he flat out didn't win enough.

I don't want to get into numbers, or the first round draft pick, or the broken leg controversy, or the gardening jokes, or his perceived cocky attitude, or the bullshit comparisons to ROJO(Rob Johnson [fuck you Doug Flutie]) I just wanna say, peace out dude wish you were better.

Trent Edwards is the starting quarterback for the Buffalo Bills for the rest of the 2007 season. He will also be the only quarterback currently on the roster that will be brought back for the 2008 season. Hopefully as the starter, and as a baller, and as a playoff performing quarterback he will take over the reigns of this embarrassingly playoffless team for many years to come.

There are five games left, hopefully he can stay healthy enough to start them all. Who the hell knows exactly what we and more importantly the Bills front office needs to see in these remaining games for them to fully throw their hat in the TE ring. A win on the road? Just a win? Respectability? Game management? The ability to throw down the field? I'll stick with look at least as good if not better than Losman has thus far in his career.

What I certainly don't want to hear is that Trent Edwards is not the quarterback of the future. Or, that he can't or never will be the future in Buffalo. BECAUSE IT IS INFRICKIN POSSIBLE TO DETERMINE THAT. Sure he hasn't looked great, he has 5 picks and 1 touchdown, but he is a third round rookie, he has started 4 games in his career. And don't even god damn bring up Stanford or his record there, because quite frankly that is absolutely meaningless and irrelevant to his current career in the NFL.

Also this column is anything but a glowing endorsement of Trent, because I along with all of us have no clue what this dude is going to do in the NFL. You can't. But lets give him a chance, and a chance he will get. Redskins, Dolphins, Browns, Giants, Eagles. Those are the remaining games, and none are impossible to win.

If Edwards severely shits the bed in these final five I will not only be pissed off I'll be suicidal. I cannot for the life of me picture a scenario in which I will cheer for the Buffalo Bills if they waste another first round pick on a quarterback. If Trent does shit his pants the Bills may not have any recourse. Thankfully it is very unlikely that he does completely self destruct.

It starts this Sunday @ Washington against a team that has suddenly become either very vulnerable or very inspired after the shooting and (for now) near death of a cornerstone of their franchise in Sean Taylor. Who knows how they'll react, but either way in Washington (err Maryland) it is always a tough place to play, especially for a rookie quarterback. Furthermore ffffrickin Marshawn is probably going to again miss this game. FAUCK.

PS
Lets goooooo Trent Edwards, Bills are +5

PPS
Do not I repeat do not use a first round pick on a quarterback whatever you do.

Seasons All But Over

Jacksonville 36
Bills 14

by Coast

Another embarrassing performance by our offense. JP Losman's career as the starter of the Buffalo Bills is over. He had a shot today but again the offense was embarrassing and he was inaccurate. Yeah I agree he doesn't have any weapons, no tight end, no running game and no wide receivers. What is the point of still playing him? I am the biggest Losman backer but what is the point of playing him? He isn't going to get an extension and no he hasn't played well enough to deserve one. Is Trent Edwards the answer? Probably not but why not find out I guess. I don't even know or care as of right now to be honest.

How bad is our defense? I don't care about this bend and don't break shit. We gave up 29 points to David Garrard. Give me a break. Reggie Williams and Earnest Wilford?

(On a side note, I just saw the most embarrassing and ridiculous thing I have ever seen in my life. JP Losman just threw a pass to Josh Reed and Reed literally saw a defender and ducked. That was the most pathetic play I have seen in my life. Was that some kind of joke?)

(Side not number 2: Score update Jacksonville now leads 36-14)

Back to the defense. In the past 2 games the Bills have faced 19 drives and the opponents have scored on 15 of them. This is unofficial, I just figured that out off the top of my head but it is close to that and that is pathetic. Again no sacks. Again not even close to a sack. Actually I think we got credit for one sack because Garrard ran out of bounds but the point is our front 4 is awful. Why do we give receivers 8 yard cushions every play? Are our safeties that bad? I guess they are. It isn't like you need to worry about Reggie Williams and Earnest Wilford running by you. Jacksonville will finish this game with 416 total yards of offense. The third down defense is the worst I have ever seen. They were 9 for 16 on third downs and converted numerous third and 10 or longers. They had to have converted at least 5 third and 10 plus situations. How can you let that happen if you are a defense? The Bills have the 31st ranked defense in the league and it is starting to show. They aren't playing the Ravens and Jets and Dolphins anymore.

The offense was pathetic. Losman made bad throw after bad throw. He turned it over 3 times and all were critical. I have defended this guy all season and I can't even do it anymore. They have to make the change just to see if Edwards is good enough because if not they need to try and make a move for another quarterback if possible. Lee Evans just caught his 2nd ball. The offensive staff can't come up with something to get him the ball more. Fred Jackson was the leading receiver on our team today and he didn't even play until the second half. This defense was ranked 23rd coming into the game today and our offense looked terrible against them. Is Marshawn Lynch really that critical to our offense? I don't even know what to say really. We are running a play with 0 seconds left. Nothing to lose and we threw a 6 yard out. I really hope Steve Fairchild gets fired after the season. Have you ever seen an offense which has allegedly improved personnel wise get this much worse from one season to the next. Who did we lose from last year? Willis McGahee? Lynch is a way better player. Apparently Peerless Price was the most important part of this offense. He is the only difference I think. Steve Fairchild is the worst coordinator in recent memory. Worse than Tom Clements, worse than Kevin Gilbride, this guy is awful.

The special teams was awful today. McGee got stopped before the 20 yard line on numerous occasions. A 12 men on the field penalty on a punt was devastating as it gave Jacksonville a first down and then a 50 yard touchdown on the next play. The Bills wasted a timeout on a punt. How do you waste a timeout on a punt in the third quarter of a tight football game? Jauron just wastes timeouts and he always has. A punt is the same play every time. Just go out there and kick the football. Why would a timeout ever be needed? The Bills went offsides on a kickoff today. Jones Drew returned the kick to the 12. After the penalty Lindell kicked it out of bounds. Jacksonville got the ball at the 45. That is a 33 yard penalty and just can't happen. Who should you blame for that? The players? The special teams coach? Well all these guys work under one guy, the head coach and that who deserves the blame for the terrible play on Sundays. Brian Moorman had another embarrassing game. He has shanked an unbelievable number of punts this year. Moorman doesn't have a free pass anymore in my opinion. I am sick of seeing balls bounce in front of return men. His last punt in which he was kicking from the 40, he needed to pin them, and the ball bounced at the 25 and went out of bounds. This has been a theme this season.

I hate Dick Jauron and have wanted him to be fired all season. He won't be and therefore this team will never be a winning team. The head coach is a loser. He had one lucky winning season in his career and every other season has been a loser. The GM is a loser. Yeah we went to some super bowls but choked in every one of them. That makes him a loser in my book. I don't think guys who go places with multiple hall of famers on the roster and choke in big games should be considered a winner.

So where do the Bills go from here? The season is over. Put in Trent Edwards, maybe he is good who knows, but they need to find out.
