This is the first blog (of what will hopefully be many) I've ever written. Not sure where to start. I guess the first thing I'll talk about is the Bills 2011 season.
Ryan Fitzpatrick has been lighting it up in Chan Gailey's offense (7 TD passes NFL lead). While his yardage is limited (472), his percentage is above average(63.4%) and he's only been sacked once. How good can this Harvard graduate led offense be? We'll see Sunday. My guess? Pretty darn good. Chan Gailey has a history of taking average players and making them good.
Fred Jackson appears to be on a mission to make 2010 1st Round Pick C.J. Spiller obsolete, (35 carries to Spiller's 9, 3 receptions to Spiller's 2). This undrafted product of Coe College (anyone know of another alum?) has been an all-heart player for the Bills since 2007, and has already ran another previous 1st rounder out of town (Marshawn Lynch). While I'm not usually impressed with running backs, Jackson's heart (similar to that of another personal favourite Brown's Peyton Hillis) continues to impress.
The only glaring problem I see right now is their defense. Yes, there could be more problems, but for now, they're 2-0 and the offense is on a roll. The defense, on the other hand, allowed 35 points to the Raiders (a team which was held to 23 points versus the terrible Broncos defense). This week they take on all-everything QB Tom Brady and his league-leader passing offense. Can they hold up? Or will we witness an amazing shootout similar to Sunday's Raiders game?
My prediction? Patriots 35 - Bills 27.
