Fake-Fat Sunny Posted December 5, 2005 Posted December 5, 2005 The game simply was not entertaining. Even with the heartbreaking loss in the Home-Run throw up the game was at least entertaining. This game was noted by a brief (but thrilling) flurry of activity by the Bills in the first quarter, followed by about 3 quarters of the team mailing it in for the most part. Perhaps the end result was exciting for Fins fans (the few who were still watching it on TV which was was likely very few judging by the many empty seats in the stadium at the end) simply due to the result, but I find it hard to believe that many of their fans found it terribly exciting to watch their team play high school ball for about three quarters. When Rosenfels came in after the safety we saw a full dose of what I use to call the well documented AVP effect where a team would trash our starting QB and then with a bg lead start thinking about whether they wanted to go to a club or a movie after dinner and AVP would lead the Bills to glory against a team that had mailed it in. There were some nice plays (Schobel's INT) but mostly in a dual between Chambers dropping passes and Clements missing tackles it was two teams working hard to grasp defeat from the jaws of victory. Things have become spectacularly random in the National Football Lotto but Sunday's game was really bad in terms of a total lack of entertainment.
