Time To Pay The Bills

[mfbmike]

Pretty much.

Cheesed out. Couldn't stop him. Next time I'm going to manually cover his ass.

 

[Macken]

thats crazy sproles went to NE in my chise as well.. and Welker is notably the best CPU player in the game...

 

[Woy]

Holy fucking Wes Welker.

 

[mfbmike]

I hope the Ravens D skins u alive with all due respect.

They are struggling. We'll see.

Had a league game on Friday night, went out lastnight which is why this wasn't updated but plan on getting some games/updates in today. :atom:

 

[DoubleDeuce]

Wes Welker 17 Receptions? That a typo?

Wes Welker 17 Receptions? That a typo?

rofl, I wish. Brady completed 35. Threw almost 50 passes. They owned the ToP and he just kept going back to Welker. :noidea:

Week 6 Preview
Sunday, October 17, 4:15 PM @ Ralph Wilson Stadium

(4-1)

vs

(1-4)

After missing out on a playoff spot in the first time in a number of years in a week 17 tie to the Raiders a season ago, the Ravens looked to bolster their pass rush/defense with two free agent aquisitions in Tony Brown and Chris Horton.

A week 1 victory over the up and coming Falcons might have given Ravens' fans hope of a better 2010, but the Ravens have lost their 4th straight since.

The Ravens' struggles likely surround around the team being ranked dead last in the league in red zone %. Not being able to put points on the board once you've driven all the way into an enemy's territory can deflate a team.

The Bills will look to take advantage of a struggling Ravens team in this week 6 matchup and get back into the win column after a 2 point loss to the division rival Patriots in week 5.

Ravens Key Additions: DT Tony Brown (82), SS Chris Horton (79)

That game sucked. Offense was looking good early on. Got a pass to T.O. early in the 2nd quarter but he got laid out.

Missed the whole 2nd and 3rd quarters with a mild concussion. Really couldn't get anything done with him out. Even if he isn't out there making big plays, the fact that he draws so much attention really opens up stuff for everyone else.

Week 7 Preview
Sunday, October 24, 1:00 PM @ Ralph Wilson Stadium

(4-2)

vs

(2-4)

After busting out of the gates this season with an impressive 4-0 start, the Bills have endured defeat in their past two games.

They will look to get back into the win column against the Jets, whom they split the season series with a season ago.

The Jets are ranked last in the AFC East and it's easy to see why.

Their 29% 3rd down conversion percentage is amongst the league's worst.

A good indication of whether a team will or will not win a game balances on whether they can convert on third down.

The Bills will have to contain Mark Sanchez, who is making strides in his sophomore season (1,116YDS 11TD 2INT) if they hope to snap their 2 game losing streak in week 7.

Edwards Starting To Come Around

Trent Edwards Stats In Past 3 Games:

Patriots|22|34|369|3|1|118.3

"He's just got to be more careful with the ball."

Something we heard all too often last season when referring to Bills quarterback Trent Edwards.

"But he can't be, you know, you can't be timid. You've got to pull the trigger."

"You can't go in fearful and play any position in this game, particularly at quarterback."

It appears Buffalo Bills head coach Dick Jauron's words are finally starting to sink into his quarterback's head.

"Edwards has the tools and football smarts to be something more than a game manager at this level," Jauron says. "When he is consistent, decisive; He can win this team a lot of football games."

Edwards is finally starting to "grip it and rip it", passing for 300 yards in the Bills past 3 games.

"I've learned you can be cautious all you want, but mistakes will still happen. It's the NFL," explained Edwards at the team's practice facility. "I'm starting to trust what I see."

Despite the Bills enduring losses in their 3 past games, it's clear that Edwards is starting to take the next step in his development because he is finally playing like a confident NFL quarterback.

I'm starting to think maybe not a whole lotta people like the Bills or something. :shifty:

Week 8 Preview
Sunday, October 31, 1:00 PM @ Ralph Wilson Stadium

(4-3)

vs

(0-6)

The Bills have lost 3 straight but certainly don't have it as bad as the lowly Lions, who are still winless on the season.

And while the Bills current losing streak should be cause of concern, it certainly doesn't warrant full-blown panic. That is of course, unless they happen to lose their 4th straight to the Lions in this week 8 matchup.

With Matthew Stafford out with a torn hamstring, quarterback Kellen Clemens will start in his place.

Rewind back to week 6 of last season. http://www.virtualsportsnetwork.com/forum/showpost.php?p=665453&postcount=143

The same Kellen Clemens that torched the Bills for 382 yards and 4 touchdown passes as a member of the Jets.

The Lions may be 0-6 but if the Bills take the Lions lightly and fail to come through here, they could end up the laughing stock of the league for the rest of the week, if not the season.

Happy Halloween!
