'Tis Better to Have Rushed and Lost Than Never to Have Rushed At All:

Trailing the Eagles 10-0 in the second quarter, Buffalo reached third-and-short at the Philadelphia 33. Considering the short distance and the position -- the area of the field where logic usually dictates go for it -- did the Bills pound, pound? Incompletion, missed 51-yard field goal attempt into the wind.

On their next possession, still trailing 10-0, the Bills reached third-and-two on the Philadelphia 35. Considering the short distance and the field position, did the Bills pound, pound? Pass caught and fumbled, Eagles' ball.

Five times against Philadelphia, Buffalo faced third-and-one or third-and-two. The Bills passed every time. Results? Incompletion, fumble, incompletion, incompletion, incompletion.

Yup. I agree. And whose fault is it here? Certainly not the players' since they didn't call those plays...... :angry:

TMQ is a riot to read...he's a local from Kenmore. He's IMHO pretty astute, also...

I particularly love his references to cheerleaders around the league, like this one:

Cheerleader of the Week: Kim Lance of the Sea Gals of the red-hot (blue-hot, in this case) Seattle Blue Men Group. With training in jazz, tap, ballet, lyrical and hip-hop dance, Lance works as a human-resources manager. So Kim, you handle the human resources -- who handles the space-alien resources? (See below.) She also picks football games. Here you'll see Lance got only five right this week. But don't despair, since that's about the same success rate as the New York Times sports page.

:hungry:

Thank you. This is the same old ****! Gilbride giving up on the run, again and again and again. It's become so apparent that now the extended media has to comment.
