Miserable Sunday

The Bills finally lost to the Cincinnati Bengals this week. It was tough to watch, but the Bills didn't deserve to win. There may have been a challenge that shouldve have been overturned when Bills wide receiver, Stevie Johnson, clearly caught a pass for a first down, but the refs said he dropped it. Bills coach Chan Gailey challenged the play, but the refs didn't have enough evidence to rule it a catch. This play may have changed the game, but it is not the reason why they lost. The offense couldn't do anything and they were shut down the whole game. Bills only had one offensive touchdown and two field goals. The defense could have played better and made some stops, but the Bengals offense got some momentum and figured the Bills out. The Bengals came back from a 17-3 deficit at halftime and ended up kicking a game winning field goal as time expired. Since the Bills have lost, they have been barely talked about on ESPN. In fact, I haven't heard the Bills mentioned at all today on ESPN. Maybe next week will be better. Go Bills!!!!!

Beating New England

The Bills finally beat the New England Patriots and shocked almost everyone. I was very shocked and this proved that the Bills are for real. New England has been a team that has only missed the playoffs twice since the Tom Brady era started. The Bills have only beat Tom Brady and the Patriots twice since then. It was an exciting game that went all the way down to the wire. The Bills took advantage of four different interceptions that Brady threw. One was returned for a touchdown by Bills cornerback Drayton Florence and this proved to be the turning point of the game. This touchdown gave the Bills the lead for the first time all day and made the score 31-24. Shortly after, Brady drove the Patriots down to tie the game up again. The Bills got the ball back and drove down the field. Bills kicker Rian Lindell kicked a game winning field goal while time expired. This win is huge not only for the Bills, but for all of Buffalo as well. Fans have been waiting to see the Bills beat the Patriots for the longest time and now that dream has finally come true. This win also made the Bills a very hot topic this week. Everyone was talking about the Bills. ESPN talked about them everyday and there were many articles on different sports websites. One article on Yahoo! Sports was just about Bills fans and why they shouldn't move. If the Bills keep winning then will keep getting love from the media.

ESPN Love

The Buffalo Bills are off to their best start since the 2008 NFL season where they started the year with a 4-0 record, but later went on to finish the season 6-10. However, the Bills seem to show more promise this year and have plenty of young talent on the team. The game tomorrow is going to be the Bills biggest test so far this year. They play the New England Patriots who they haven't beat in 13 games and who are a tougher opponent than the Kansas City Chiefs and the Oakland Raiders. This is the first time in a while that the media has been giving the Bills credit, especially ESPN. Chris Berman may be the only diehard Bills fan on ESPN. Other than that ESPN has been known for bashing the Bills and never covering their games unless they have a good start like this. But this week has been different. The Bills have been all over ESPN and have been talked about on Sportscenter Several times this week. The media has tagged this game as the biggest game the Bills have had in a very long time. Many fans are looking forward to this game and I can't wait either. Go Bills! As for the media, we will see if the Bills will remain a hot topic.
