COLTS 17 BILLS 16 F
The Buffalo Bills might have the worst red zone offensive in the history of athletic competition specifically the National Football League. THE ABSOLUTE WORST.
According to the brutal CBS broadcast the Bills had 11 plays inside the Colts 20 yard line, totaling -8 yards. Was there a third down Losman didn't drop back and take a sack. Whether it was his fault or not he took sacks in crucial third downs. This happens every week, every single week.
13 pass attempts and according to the stat sheet there were only 4 sacks. Seemed like every third down drop back Losman was eating grass. The one sack looked like Losman through the ball away, maybe it was a fumble, but not suprisingly they said Losman was 'In the Grass' and that sounds about right.
Anthony Thomas ran hard, he got 100 yards, but he didn't impress me. He didn't for one second make me forget the name Willis Mcgahee. Didn't get in the end zone. He did avg 3.9 and is more than adequate but didn't score.
Mcgee when he isn't covering a good wide receiver flat out makes plays. He knows how to kick return probably better than any in the NFL. I'm not going to blame Mcgee on the touchdown in the first half, that was just flat out a great pass. A great corner would have possibly made a play on the ball but it ended up as 6.
Lindell is the least (although I hate this word) 'clutch' kicker ever. Pittsburgh game 2 seasons ago, the kick today from 41, he just misses the big kicks and I'll never understand it.
This game had all the making of a perfect let down game. And through the first 54 minutes or so I thought it would be the let down, upset that could have been. Perhaps with better red zone play calling, and adequate QB, and blocking assignments being picked up things would have been different.
On a positive note, Ko Simpson and Dante (the criminal) Whitner are rookies. They shut down the deep ball all day. Manning seemingly didn't have a completion over 15 yards of any consequence. Clements played like the $8 million man that he is. Locking up Harrison for most of the day. Forcing that fumble with 8 minutes left was ballerish too.
When are Sunday evenings going to be enjoyable again in Buffalo?????????????????
