basically somebody noticed that the Bills were giving Moss a 10-yard cushion, so they dinked and dunked in the 2nd half.
Also:
--After watching PIT/TEN on Thursday night, and CHI/GB on Sunday night, I felt like I learned a lesson on the value of a strong pass rush, as all four teams had one (esp PIT and TEN). I was excited about ours (AD Thomas returning from injury and the acquisition of Burgess), but the stopgap Buffalo O-Line handled us way too easily. I guess I was swayed by the success we had in the one preseason game I saw, when we blitzed the hell out of Philly. Maybe we didn't blitz so much last night because of the Mayo injury. Heck, maybe the root of our pass rush problems overall was because of the Mayo injury.
--Just take those red jerseys, and burn them already. I've got a couple of Pat Patriot caps (they're currently my favs), and I love seeing him on gear worn by the fans in Foxborough, but when the
players strap on the red/white/blue, it's never a good thing.
--Thank God I don't bet this stuff. Sometimes I'm right, sometimes I'm wrong...but whenever I have a strong opinion, I'm wrong 100% of the time, including 0-2 with the chalk last night.
--Some funny comments during Simmons' chat with fans during the game last night, such as,
"bringing out my russ francis jersey for this one"
"I don't care if this is the worst football game ever, as long as I don't have to sit through another Jay Leno promo I will be satisfied."
"I thought I saw Tony Eason in the crowd with a video camera, but he ran back 10 yards and rolled into a ball before I could verify."
"Where can I order a throwback Walt Coleman orange zebra outfit?"
"Walt looks like he should be driving an ice cream truck."
(after a nice gain by Maroney) "Serena Williams is running with fury- first down!"
"It's funny to see Fred Taylor in a throwback uniform ... kind of redundant."
"Jaws just said that the Pats are double teaming Owens. No wonder they are running for 20 yards a carry."
"Will they introduce Al Davis as part of the Patriots 50th Anniversary team?"
"There's absolutely no reason Bruschi can't suit up if Mayo can't go."
"Maybe Randy Moss has the Swine Flu and the Bills are terrified of him. That would explain their coverage."
"Did the Pats just remember that they have Randy Moss against the Bills secondary? Did it somehow slip their mind for 35 minutes?"
"Brady's run for the first down that just happened was like watching Forrest Gump run from the bullies. RUN TOMMY RUN!!!!!"
