Not a very pretty sight. A grown man begging, pleading, groveling, like you are, sad indeed. Of course I can't say I blame you, being stuck with such a sorry bunch of Patriot castoffs like Bledsoe, Milloy, Gash,Adams, etc.
State of the Union - Buffalo Bills style:
It now looks as if everyone - fans, local media and national media - were far too quick to anoint the Bills as one of the AFC's premier teams. The 2-0 start, during which Buffalo routed New England and Jacksonville to the tune of 69-17, is a distant memory as the Bills have lost three of their last four.
"I didn't expect to be 3-3 right now," said QB Drew Bledsoe, who was sacked seven times in the 30-3 loss to the Jets. "I felt like, and I still feel like, we're a better team than what we've done the last four games. We have to get it turned around, everybody on our team has to address what they're doing and we have to play better."
The question that is now arising is, were the Bills over-rated to begin with? It appears that could be the case. With all the new additions on defense, maybe it wasn't reasonable to assume they would jell quickly and become a dominant unit. There have been far too many breakdowns in the last four weeks and newcomers Takeo Spikes, Sam Adams and Lawyer Milloy have tailed off precipitously since opening day when all three played major roles in the 31-0 shellacking of New England.
Offensively, Travis Henry's 1,438-yard rushing season in 2002 has him on the radar screen of every opposing defense, and he hasn't been able to adjust to the increased attention. Part of the problem is that the offensive line has underachieved, Henry has been banged up and offensive coordinator Kevin Gilbride won't commit to the running game. Still, Henry has to pick it up or Willis McGahee - who can begin practicing this week - may soon take his job.
The loss to the Jets was the low point of the season. The offense, minus WR Eric Moulds, was unable to sustain a drive and gained just 233 yards, the defense could not overcome New York's excellent field position all day and allowed 30 points, and the special teams broke down as Santana Moss averaged 34 yards on three punt returns which set up 10 New York points.
"Defensively, offensively, special teams, we didn't play well in any facet," said LB London Fletcher. "We are frustrated. When you only win one of your last four games, and we needed overtime to win that game, there's a lot of things to fix."
