Hey here we are at the 15th game of the season, the Bills are at 7-7 and out of the playoffs. The giants are 9-5 and trying not to collapse at the end of the season again. So here they head into Buffalo for a iffy weather game from the forecast. Wind, Rain maybe snow. So the Giants propensity to throw it, maybe hampered. Though it may force them to run, which could help them win the game. These are one of those games you can't predict, because you don't know if the Bills are playing for pride or packing it in. Are the Giants as bad as them seem lately? Who knows, but the answer will be known come Sunday afternoon at Ralph Wilson Stadium
So Giants, whats up?
Giants are very streaky, starting 0-2, then winning 6 in a row, now they have gone 3-3 in their last 6. There is no consistency. But one fact remains they play better on the road going 6-1 in road games. Maybe Eli can't take the home crowd booing and would rather when they score a TD hear silence. Like yeah take that people. And when he screws up people cheer. So maybe its like reverse psychology for Eli, or not who knows. That fact is the Giants are a good football team when they want to be, and really good on the D Line and it will be a problem for the Run and Pass game tomorrow.
Stat Comparison
NY Offense 18th in the league 21.4 points per game, 328.8 yards per game and a -8 TO margin
Buf Offense 30th in the league 15.9 points per game, 279.9 yards per game and a +7 TO margin
NY Defense 7th in the league, 20.9 points per game, 303.3 yards per game and 787 Pen Yards
Buf Defense 30 in the league, 21.4 points per game, 359 yards per game and 503 Pen yard
The Bills defense is much lower ranked, yet only give up .5 points less then then the Giants. If penalty yards figured in to stats I'm the Bills and Giants will be closer ranked. The offenses on the other hand are much different. One very conservative in the Bills and Kevin Gilbrides wild west show.
Thats sure not Bulletin Board material
“I have played in Buffalo a few times and it is definitely one of the toughest places to get a win,” wide receiver Plaxico Burress said. “The fans up there are crazy about football, it is loud, and being in the situation that we are in, they are definitely going to come out and play hard. Buffalo is real different. It is a loud place up there. The fans are right on top of you, they are maybe five or six yards from the players’ sideline. I know they are going to be loud and they love the cold up there, so we will see what happens.”
Well Ok, well yeah, um, thanks Plaxico.
Important contract milestones, taken from Chris Browns Tipsheet.
Marshawn Lynch needs 60 rushing yards to reach 1,000 for the season. Lynch would become the first Bills rookie since Greg Bell rushed for 1,100 yards as a rookie for Buffalo in 1984.
Outlook
The weather will be bad, the Bills are looking for a winning season, and the Giants are playing not to lose. We all know what that adds up to. I just won't say it.

From Karl Mecklenburg "Defensively, I think its important for us to tackle" This may sound stupid, but its a quote the Bills defense could use.

Aaron Schobel needs four tackles for his first 100 tackle season. He'd also become the first Bills defensive lineman with 100 tackles since Pat Williams in 2002.
Josh Reed needs ten receptions to set a new single-season career high. Reed's high is 58 receptions in 2003. He has 49 thus far in 2007.
Rian Lindell needs nine points to reach 500 points scored as a Buffalo Bill.
Well those are nice, and I could care less about all of them except Lynch's 1000 yards.Outlook
