Throwing out game balls.




Game Balls

Yes the first GCFB, game ball goes to Marshawn Lynch, beast mode was in hyper mode today. As he ran strong, threw a excellent touchdown pass, and won the game for the Bills today. The no question first star, and MVP of the first half of the season. He has lived up to his first round status and is only getting better.

The second ball goes to JP Losman, starting after being benched, and been pretty darn good since. I have no idea where this Losman was the beginning of the season. Sure he probably had better defenses to play against. But this Losman is the guy we expected week 1. He finished with a 71% completion rate and 295 yards passing with 1 td and 1 int. That interception was his one lowlight. But Marshawn Lynch has as many TD passes as Edwards now.

The third ball goes to the front 7, no sacks, but held Cinci to 1.6 yards a rush. Wow. Now I thought the run was their weakness. Apparently Digiorgio went out with a concussion, but Coy Wire came in and filled in nicely. There wasn't a ton of pressure but enough to keep Palmer honest and he usually didn't have all day. They seemed to keep guys back in coverage, limiting the numbers for pass rushing. But Crowell leading in tackles again. This guy is a beast. Its like Fletcher and Spikes who? The Bills are getting similar production from guys at much less prices.

A fourth ball can be given to Evans, but really 9 catches for 165 yards and TD is what we kind of expect from the guy. But it looks like he is getting back into form.

Stuff thats interesting to me.

Since Losman came in the Jets game, the Bills have scored on 9 of 15 drives. With one of those a kneel down today. Thats the offensive production we were promised.

Edwards as starter the Bills scored on 11 of 37 drives. (including end of half and kneeldowns)

Thats 60% to 30% scoring ratio. I think in the short period, Losman has proven he should get his job back. And with next weeks road game against Miami, followed by the Patriots. Lets say that wrist isn't healing as we thought it would.
