Bills vs Dolphins Recap

-Lets be honest, going into the 4th quarter, down by a touchdown, you had the same old feeling that the Bills were going to duplicate their disastrous 4th quarter collapses. But a funny thing happened today. The Bills showed a killer instinct. They not only over came the deficit, but they kicked the Dolphins a$$es. The Bills scored 24 unanswered fourth quarter points in a 31-14 win over the Dolphins-

-I’ve been saying for weeks now. Put Fred Jackson in the starting line-up! This had nothing to do with Marshawn Lynch’s off the field problems, that a lot of Bills fans have chastised him about over the years. It’s about Jackson being the better option. Jackson proved it today gaining 116 yards in total offense to go along with two touchdowns. The big key for Jackson was how many times he touched the ball, 21 times on the day. Jackson is the type of back that needs to get the ball as many times as he can to get a rhythm-

-You want to know why Ryan Fitzpatrick is in for Trent Edwards? Look no further than the game-clinching touchdown drive. If Edwards is under center, he’s not going to audible into a 51-yard touchdown pass to Owens-

-I know some football fans have been drinking the Ricky Williams resurgence kool-aid. But how much can you really rely on a back that’s 32-years old and hasn’t been a featured back since 2003?-

-Here’s what Perry Fewell is to me. Yes, I love his intensity and no I’m not counting on him being the coach in 2010. As of now, he’s like the rebound girlfriend after a terrible break-up. Yes, he’s way better than the girl who you didn’t want to bring around your friends, but as of now, he’s not exactly the one you want to bring home to mom-

-Now the only way I would entertain the thought of Fewell becoming the coach next year is pretty simple. Finish 4-1 or at least keep it competitive against the Colts and the Pats. Then, and this is a “BIG” then, take that 10 million dollars and 5% ownership you were planning on giving to Shanahan or Cowher (Which I think is a bit flawed) and spend it on the two best free agents in football. Of course, firing Guy and Modrak and hiring a competent new football department would have to happen as well-

-So this is what the hoopla about Terrell Owens has been about, almost 375 yards in his last three games. He’s still good as gone next year-

-I know the big debate this week was whether Bills fans wanted the team to lose out so they would get a higher draft pick. Fans have to realize that just because your in the top five, doesn’t mean your going to turn it around right away. Take a look at the last four drafts, not including 2009.

Do you want to tell me what’s so sexy about having a top six pick in the draft? On this list of 24 players, I’d say Vince Young (loosely), Ronnie Brown & Matt Ryan have been franchise changers for their teams. In other words, if you want to boo your team cause they stink, fine. But think twice if it’s because you want that elusive top 5 pick-

-What a bunch of hacks on the WGR post game show. Your main topic was the Bills running up the score against the Dolphins in the final 1:30 of the game? Your topic should of been whether to keep Fewell or not. Now, did I think they rubbed it in the Dolphins face? No. Now if they were running a play action pass and going for the endzone like the Patriots did two years ago, then yes. But to run a simple running play for seven yards doesn’t constitute running up the score. Even if it did, it shouldn’t of been an hour long topic. I don’t care if the Bills are 0-11 or 11-0, just dumb producing-

-From what Schopp and the Bulldog mention, sportsmanship and running up the score will be a topic in the upcoming days. Hmm..loved to have someone call into their show and ask the hosts if they thought the Sabres were running up the score against the Hurricanes on Saturday night. Doubt the hosts would touch that one-

-BTW, I went to the game today, as I’m still feasting in Buffalo, till Thursday. I saw the dude with the Pinto in the parking lot and had a shot out of a bowling ball. Lame to be honest. I even got yelled at because I didn’t drop the bowling ball the right way. Sorry dude, with the two teeth and the zoobahs-
