Here is this weeks installment of OFV:
If you have insomnia but no health insurance, no problem! Watch the 2010 Buffalo Bills. No need to buy expensive medicine. My father and I made it home after the game, turned on the Eagles/Redskins game, and promptly fell asleep. My dad had the luxury of lying down. I fell asleep seated upright with the Bison dip opened on my lap. My only victory of the day was that I didn’t spill it all over the couch (although one could argue having Bison dip available was a win) .
Why was it so boring? My theory is that when your team converts zero percent of third downs, you are watching a game so boring that it will in fact put you to sleep. I’ve always suspected that when you convert under 30%, you are watching a bad game. It’s only due to this game that I realized that zero percent can suck your ability to stay awake right out of you. I’ve never witnessed a game where a “professional” football team does not convert a single third down.
You have to give the Buffalo Bills credit. When you ask, “can they get worse than the previous week” they answer with a resounding, resilient answer, “YES!” Right now, knowing what I know (that they always answer yes), I’m at a loss at how they will out do themselves this week. I already know that Trent Edwards will play and dink and dunk his way to 300 yards passing and 3 TD’s all on the Kelsay side of the ball. I already know that Maurice Jones Drew will run for 200+ yards, perhaps even in the first half. I know the back ups who enter will replicate those stats. So I’m a little afraid of how they plan to answer “can they get worse.”
