:tricycle: The Bills have the ball back with the lead and only 3 minutes plus to play. You could certainly argue we didn't deserve the lead, but Jason Elam was feeling generous up to this point.
But unlike the Bills of the early nineties, who always "found some way to win" (remember Miami 41-38 with Kelly taking it in himself?), today's Bills somehow manage to "find some way to lose."
Even after going, ugh, THREE and out (duly noted: Marshawn Lynch had a nice debut, inspite of wandering OUT OF BOUNDS in the last drive) and darn, Lee Evans almost caught up to that ball even though it was thrown over the wrong shoulder, all we needed was some solid 'D' to win the game.
But on third and long...well you know what happened. And what happened after that really only occurs in movies. They run out onto the field with the kicking team, ony seconds left, and with perfect formation, nail the game-winning field goal?
Let's just say if the Bills had attempted it, there would have been at least three flags on the play.
