Word on the Herd-East meets West

<img src="http://www.billsfanzone.com/images/avatars/mmss39.gif" border="2" align="left"> There were enough ex-Buffalo Bills on the field from San Diego Chargers to make up an entire team; from kicker Steve Christie to his coach Marty Schottenhiemer. Hence the reason why the San Diego Chargers have been
nicknamed the Buffalo Bills west. Heck, the team is run by an ex-general manager of the Buffalo Bills.

This ended up being an interesting match-up.
Both teams were coming off losses last week, and both teams were in the playoff hunt. One (Buffalo) all but took themselves out of the race with their undoing in Foxboro.

the influence of Belichick) from that game. Bledsoe could only manage Travis Henry type numbers: 11 completion for 107 yards. But this time around he kept the ball out of the opponents hands, which is a big plus. Drew had a terrible time finding the same page his wide receivers were on. I haven't seen more passes
go no where since my days of being single. That's a hangover if ever there was one. This win should be a remedy for Drew. A win always makes you feel better. <I>(Reuters Photo)</I>

Then there is Travis Henry, another pain reliever who continues to beat up on opposing defenses as long as he is given the ball. He contributed once again with outstanding numbers: 22 carries gathering 144 yards and two touchdowns for the effort. Henry, believe it or not, has the most 125 plus yard games in the league with six, just another testimony that Henry needs the ball to be effective. He is a gifted back with enormous strength, a good
center of gravity, and one hell of a straight arm to break free of would-be tacklers, leaving a trail of bodies in his wake. He demonstrates his power running ability by dragging half a defense hanging off his body while gaining positive yards. You're not going to get lighting speed out of him, although he
is known to beat a corner back around the corners. ...MORE... (http://www.billszone.com/YourSite/global/templates/view.php?action=YourSite_content&month=12&state=news&nid=3254)
