An attempt to be humorous and logical about the Buffalo Sports Scene.

Before the Bills play the Browns...
Lets look at the Season so far. Well with Stats.
First step the Quarterback position. At this point Edwards and Losman have played a equal amount so we can actually take a peak at who is doing better.
Edwards 1212 yards passing 5 Tds and 5 ints and a 80.1 QB rating 9 sacks
Losman 1204 yards passing 4 Tds and 6 ints and a 76.9 QB rating 14 sacks
Well most people would go well, their pretty even so whats the big deal, who cares. Well the fact that Edwards is at the same point in his first year with a guy who has been in the league for several years, is a good sign. They always talk about pulling things back for Edwards, well I don't think so. He has more yards a game, more attempts, and yards per attempt are identical. They held it back for Losman more then Edwards, knowing that Losman can hurt them more with taking sacks and turning it over.
Marshawn Lynch 219 carries 858 yards 3.9 yards per carry 6 tds
Well we all had high hopes for Lynch going into the season and really he hasn't been a disappointment. It got off slow with the O line jelling this year. But almost 4 yards a carry and with only 50 yards a game in the next 3 games will rush for 1000 yards on the season. Really the Bills haven't missed Mcgahee in my eyes, there was no downgrade at this position. Shocking stat though, Fred Jackson has a 5.8 yards per rush average.
Lee Evans 47 catches 768 yards 4 tds 16.3 yards per catch
Josh Reed 46 catches 514 yards 0 tds 11.2 yards per catch
With the QB switch, the receivers have been hurt the most. Lee Evans is a great talent and has been limited year year. Though of late he has been coming on. In the beginning of the year he was just terrible. As the season went on, Trent Edwards found Lee Evans. Notice you've seen less complaining by Lee about wanting JP in the lineup. The one thing that concerns me is the lack of receiving from the Running back position, we were told that Marshawn Lynch was a great receiver out the backfield, yet he only has 15 catches on the year and it seems Fred Jackson in his limited action has been catching more. Would like to see where that goes next year.
Rian Lindell 21-21 PATS and 21-24 on Field Goals
Yep, hes having a great year, sorry again Rian for all the things I've said about you.
Time to talk about the Defense
Stats aren't the specialty for the defense here.
Sack Leader Aaron Schobel 4.5 sacks (Thats not good)
Interception Leader Terrence McGee 3 ints (same as the "playmaker" Nate Clements)
Tackles Leader Angelo Crowell 108 Tackles (Having a great year, and emerging as a team leader)
Well the stats aren't pretty on the year for the Bills this year, but the only stat that really matters isn't that bad, 7 wins 6 losses. After the start and the injuries, having a 7-6 record going into the Browns game is something to look good upon. The team has brought back excitement about the team and will only build next year. With which looks like a iffy schedule and a young team filling with confidence.
