Well, the game was lost. We were about to lose our 3rd game in a row and fall a game behind the Dolphins with 2 games to go. I was disgusted at the coaching staff. I was sick of the offense. And the defense was grotesque.
But, deep in their own end, the Bills had a huge blunder. Instead of running the ball to take more time off the clock, they decided to throw the ball which made no sense since we couldn't stop the run all day long. Abraham Elam blitzes and gets to the QB and strips the ball. Our resident pot smoker, Shawn Ellis, touches the loose ball, and then it bounces and then he scoops it up and trots 11 yards into the endzone. Jets take the lead with a little under 2 minutes to go. Another Meadowlands Miracle !
We had no right winning the game they way we played and the way we were coached. With 2:06 left in the game, we used a time-out. Why? To save six seconds? The announcers even made the comment that it made no sense. Maybe we should bring back Dick Curl to manage the clock and time-outs.
Our special teams coverage was horrible. How could we not be ready for a fake punt that basically kept the Bills in the game in the first quarter. It seems like we are never ready for the onsides kick or the fake punt this year. Besides one good punt that we got a lucky roll to get us out of trouble, we are in serious need of a punter that can punt. And every time the Bills punted, it seemed as if we were pinned deep. So annoying !
Our offense looked great in the first quarter and then the just weren't insync. There were some bad throws including two horrible interceptions. But, the offense doesn't move well when the plays stink. Why on 3rd and 4th and short, do we ALWAYS run straight into a pile for no gain lately? Take it to the outside? Call a play action and complete the short pass as they did earlier in the year. We should be walking down the field and scoring at will like we did against the Titans last month.
The defense was terrible until the lucky end when we had the big fumble and two interceptions. However, until then, it was mostly their fault that we were losing the game as we couldn't tackle at all.
So, we now face another trip out west. We are 0-3 out there. This is a must win. If we win on Sunday, we play for the AFC crown the following week. It's crunch time. It's time to go out west and whip the living shit out of the Seahawks.
Then, bring on Chad Pennington and those stale fish !
