Bills WR Evans questions offensive play-calling

ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. (AP) - Turns out, receiver Lee Evans had good reason to duck out of the locker room and avoid addressing reporters immediately following the Buffalo Bills' latest loss: He didn't want to say anything he might regret.
From the sound and look of things after practice Wednesday, Evans still wasn't entirely over his frustrations after what happened two days earlier during a 29-27 loss to Cleveland.
With his head down and speaking in a monotone, the usually upbeat Evans questioned the offensive play-calling. He wondered how he was held without a catch for the first time in 67 games, and why it took Trent Edwards throwing three interceptions in the first quarter before the Bills finally switched to the run against a Browns defense that was intent on protecting against the pass.
"When they do that, you're able to run the football effectively. And I think that's what you saw later in the football game," Evans said. "But it came so late that we really didn't have too many opportunities, and I think that's the difference."
