The Travelling Circus
Just wanna run some statistics by you really quick.
Vs. Oakland
Drew Bledsoe sacked - 7
Travis Henry "almost-fumbles" - 2
Travis Henry dropped passes - 3
Travis Henry dropped passes that lead to interceptions - 1
Travis Henry loses his footing - 3
Travis Henry TD's from 1 yd out - 0
Eric Moulds dropped passes - 4
Campbell dropped passes - 1
Reed dropped passes - 2
Holding penalties negating huge kick returns - 2
Take-aways - 0
Carries by Willis McGahee - A whopping 2
Drew Bledsoe losing his temper as a result of his offense's massive incompetence - 0
Drew Bledsoe losing his temper as a result of his own stupidity for not throwing the ball out of bounds - 0
Catches by Lee Evans - 1 (out of desperation at the end of the game - and it worked!)
"Control the ball" style offense:
Run on 2nd and 19 - gains three yards
Run on 3rd and 18 - gains no yards
Run on 2nd and 24 - gains one yard
Through 2 games:
Bills TD's - 2
Total points - 20
Shots down the field - 1 (at end of game, out of desperation to Lee Evans - and it worked!! Imagine that!)
Travis Henry TD's on runs from inside the five - 0
Games lost 13-0 - 2
No need for commentary here. Everything listed above speaks for itself. All I can submit to Bills fans is the following - last season we started off amazingly for the first two games and then had a long, shitty season. It might be worth considering that this season we have started off terribly for the first two games - maybe it will turn into a high-paced, dominating season. That wouldn't be my guess, however. Just saying.
If this game should teach us anything its this - Our defense is OVERRATED. They rack up impressive statistics against mediocre offenses, but they never seem to come up big when you need them to. Point being - the offense is nothing more than a travelling circus, and the defense is good, but not THAT good. Still waiting, by the way, for Mularkey's offensive genius to make itself felt. I have faith in him, don't get me wrong, but still waiting to see it at this point. (Ten straight seasons of a swiss-cheese offensive line, by the way - maybe we oughta fix that someday)
Personally, I'm not asking for much. I've suffered through a lot of losing Sabres seasons and Bills seasons, and I've lived with it. But its safe to say that at the moment, I HATE this Bills team passionately. Reason being, they give you nothing to cheer about. They screw up something on nearly every play - very aggrevating. Not only that, but they don't just lose - they lose sloppy, boring games. When was the last time we had cause to cheer for our football team in this city? I can't even remember. Well fuck it.
Nothing else to say. That's it for this blog. Travis Henry makes me puke.
A Presto
