MNF Thoughts: Bills-Browns
> If you drafted Lee Evans in your fantasy league, I'm sorry. Having him at WR when your QB is Trent Edwards is like having a Lamborghini in the driveway of a blind man.
> I'd say something about the first three quarters, but for the most part, they just didn't matter. If you like field goals, this was riveting. Otherwise, not so much.
> On back to back plays to start the fourth quarter, Browns RB James Harrison goes 72 yards on a sweep, then the Bills' Leodis McKelvin took the kickoff back 94 yards to immediately counter with a touchdown. This would all matter more if both of these teams didn't stink.
> The Browns like to send Brady Quinn on naked bootlegs, having done it twice tonight. The only trouble with this is that Quinn doesn't seem to understand about sliding or going out of bounds. It's OK, Brady, we won't think you are gay if you avoid contact! We're clearly going to think that from all of the other reasons you've given us!
> Boy, it didn't take long for Jamal Lewis to go back to being a spent force. The Browns get a lot more out of plays with Harrison than the nominal starter. Besides, Harrison's a lot less mouthy about people quitting, one suspects...
> Romeo Crennel really does have that Art Shell vibe going. Not a good thing for Browns Fan. Honestly, this is a team with talent, but you'd never know it, thanks to the coaching.
> The MNF chuckleheads tell us how Trent Edwards has a sarcastic list and hate for all of the other quarterbacks that were taken before him in his draft class.
Um, Trent? You do realize that you also, well, suck? Especially in this game, when you threw 3 picks in the first quarter, then spent the rest of the night throwing checkdowns rather than risking Pick Four?
> The Browns narrowly avoided making a very bad form of NFL history tonight, in that they almost lost after being up by 13 or more for the third straight week. As is, they needed a 56-yard field goal from kicker Phil Dawson (part of a 5-for-5 night for him), followed by a missed 45-yard field goal from Ryan Lindell, to win 29-27.
And... no one circles the drain like the Buffalo Bills!
