One Fan's View: God wears a Bills jersey

by Kevin Shenoy

God is wearing a Buffalo Bills jersey. There is no doubt about it after watching the Bills game and the highlights of the other “important games”. There is just no way around it. The Bengals played a game the Bills played all of last year and parts of this year. They were talented enough to win, but undisciplined to follow through. Their big mistakes are just too stupid and impossible to overcome. If it didn’t happen to the Bills so much in the past I would have felt bad for the Bengals. But the truth is, it did happen to them, and I was pleased to see someone else have to deal with the nuisance that we as fans put up with.

Kitna’s play was nearly vomitorious for Bengal fans. The TKO interception was the third worst play by a QB for this season. The Aaron Brookes Fumble, the Losman Interception, and then Kitna’s pass. What was he thinking?

As for the Bills play, sadly our offense sputtered again. We didn’t put together one long consistent drive the entire game. The only one that went more than 50+ yards and ended with a touchdown was a result of a flea flicker. I am still so confused that we are blowing teams out of the water without a total and complete effort. At some point this is either going to catch up with us or we become the Patriots reincarnate and win a ton of games even though we don’t deserve to.

Kevin’s DVD Extras

• How sweet is it that TKO got the winning score?
• The ref report: Mild suckiness. They were out to prove a point about how bad they were in the first two quarters. When F. Smith was run over, I was blown away that at regular speed they sway a push in the back by Kevin Thomas. It was the most blatant early hit I’ve seen. I’d hate to see how this ref team would score the Jaguars beheading play of R. Ferguson.
• Ref Report part two: 25 second clock issues. The Bills had the ball deep in the Bengals end, and they do a spike the ball play. They get assessed a 5 yard delay of game because they didn’t reset the clock. Essentially this is the difference between the field goal the Bills took, and the touchdown they should have had. Later in the game, same issue comes up for the Bengals on a punt. They figure out that the 25 second clock wasn’t reset. Naturally the Bills don’t get the break.
• However, the Bills got the break every where else. Two fumbles that could have turned the tide of the game, but miraculously end up in Bills hands. Five in total, only one was lost. The Willis injury play was a prime example. How two Bengals missed is beyond me. Drew’s fumble when being sacked also somehow ended up in the line’s hands. Fantastic. Terrence McGee’s fumble magically ended up in our hands. These are my prime examples that god is wearing a Bills Jersey in Heaven.
• At the beginning of the fourth quarter, I decided that Sam Adams played so well, I was going to pay tribute by having a Sam Adams Winter Lager. Let’s keep this tradition going, Sam.
• Why are the Bills games on Newfoundland time? We are consistently a half hour behind the rest of the 1pm games. Oh right, the ref reports. They have consistently sucked. - Two Drew Bledsoe sneaks? Truly these coaches are willing to try anything.
• Bledsoe seems quite feisty now-a-days. He was seen with some emotion on the field. He was yelling at Shelton for having a dropped ball, he was energetic even during his classic inside the red zone timeout. He was even more pissed than usual. I like it. Drew is not a Robot. Remember that.
• I would like to ask that fans of any team other than Buffalo please refrain from eating wings on Sunday. What kind of hypocrisy is that? It literally makes me nauseous watching a Cowboys fan eat wings outside of Buffalo scream, “these are so good and spicy” and then you find out that they are barbeque wings. There are no words for this anger. Somehow I go on.
• I love that Jason Peters was the only one who seemingly knew he blocked the punt. I saw the play, I thought he blocked it, yet no one in the crowd responded. The TV I was watching on was too small for me to see the ball. None of the players reacted. When he got up and started running for the end zone, I was like, “I did taw a puttycat, I did, I did!!!” And for the record, what an enormous putty cat.
• Nice throw Brady. Nice throw. Has anyone screamed that loud for a Miami touchdown?
• I cannot believe that the Jags won that game. But everything else worked out for the Bills. So we just have to sit back and believe.
