Week 6

The Buffalo Bills entered the bye week after losing to the New York Giants in a close game. Bills quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick threw two interceptions including one in the fourth quarter to set up the game winning field goal drive for the Giants. The Bills were down 24-17 heading into the fourth quarter until Ryan Fitzpatrick passed to Stevie Johnson for a touchdown to tie it up. They lost 27-24 after the Giants drove down the field and kicked a field goal with 1:32 left in the fourth quarter. The Bills got the ball back and tried to make another remarkable comeback, but they ended up turning the ball over on downs. The Bills now head into the bye week with a 4-2 record with the hopes of improving the pass rush and other defensive problems. The Bills only led once this game and it was in the first half.

The Bills still got a lot of attention on the shows Sportscenter and NFL Live, but there wasn't any articles about the Bills other than the recap of the game.

Bills Hang On to be 4-1

The Bills defeated the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday 31-24 thanks to their defense for forcing 5 turnovers. The Bills intercepted Mike Vick 4 times and forced a fumble. However, the Eagles had a second half surge to get within a touchdown of the Bills until Vick threw his fourth interception of the day late in the fourth quarter which helped sealed the deal. This win puts the Bills to 4-1 and is the second time the Bills have started out 4-1 in the past decade. The Bills are still getting a lot of love from the media right now. ESPN had Bills safety George Wilson on Jim Rome is Burning for a five minute segment. ESPN analysts have been talking about the Bills run game on Sportscenter and the Bills defense. The Bills are off to a fast start and hopefully they can keep forcing turnovers and putting points on the board. Next week the Bills face the Giants in the Meadowlands.

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.
