Bills-Colts

Ugh.

The Bills' offensive line is worse than useless. Minus 8 yards in the red zone for the offense an be laid squarely on the completely inept job done by the 'tards on the O-line.

JP Losman. Well...he's not as stupid as the recent QBs that the Bills have had, but the guy has shown the fan-angering tendency to not b able to hit the broad side of a barn in those oh-so-rare occasions that his O-line gives him some protection.

The roughing the kicker call on the Bills was utter and complete bullshit. The kicker was never even touched. Nice Euro soccer-player acting job there, Indy.

The only bright spots for me: the defense snagging two fumbles and a mostly good job by special teams. Lindell would have had the field goal in the 4th quarter were it not for the useless function of the Bills' O-line, allowing the sack. At this point I'm convinced that the Colts still would have won had Lindell made the FG, since Peyton would have engineered another surgical series of strikes down the field in less than two minutes.

As a Buffalo fan, I'm getting G-damned tired of having the O-line be the perennial source of their failure. They've sucked for years, despite personnel changes on the player and coaching side. DAMMIT, FIX IT!!!

I need more Scotch.

The line on this game was Indy -12.5, and sucker that I am, I took Indy and the points.

I also took Jax at -10.5 against Houston. :oops:

Bad, bad week to be picking favorites.

Bills are one of those Jekyll and Hyde teams that you just never know which one is going to show up.

This wacky league never ceases to surprise.

Mike,

I'll have to disagree with you on the Peyton surgical strikes today.....he seemed both confused and frustrated at times today. I do however agree with the CBS commentators when they said that the Bills had a good gameplan to slow the Colts down, and steal one away on the road. It all comes down th execution. Except for the missed go-ahead field goal, they controlled the ball, and more importantly controlled the clock. Peyton couldn't get straightened out, if he didn't get the ball.

I missed part of the game with "honey-do" list items running a little too long this morning, but what I did see, the defense kept things pretty well in check, especially with the coverage on Marvin and Reggie. We have not played a team this year that tried that hard to strip the ball, and on did it on EVERY play. This is an example of a team coming out and punching them in the mouth, and knocking them off their game. I don't know if Indy was looking past the Bills, or just thought that their "high powered offense" could outscore them.

I don't like it, but I'm starting to become more comfortable with the game going down to the wire; but today, I definitely thought they were going to put up the first L. That didn't feel like a win. I guess the only good thing to come from today is that it was still a win. The Bills deserved that one.
