Dream Team travels to Buffalo

A couple posts ago, I expressed my surprise regarding the Buffalo Bills’ progress through the NFL season. Now, I’m out to say that the Bills’ story ends here. The Philadelphia Eagles (for whom I have a very extreme bias) face off against the Cinderella story Bills in Buffalo this Sunday. I will be taking the trip home to San Diego to witness this battle with my family. I have been a fan of the NFL for years and as long as I can remember, I have never been really all that excited for a game between the Eagles and Bills. However, with the Eagles seeking a much-needed second win and the Bills showing that they aren’t going to just roll over this season, I have pre game butterflies for this competition. The so-called “Dream Team” will enter battle once again. Will we be surprised as fans and witness a well-played game? My vote goes for no. I love the Eagles, but after the past few weeks, it has been very difficult to be an Eagles fan. After the massive pickups in the offseason (Asomugha, Babin, Young, Brown, Rodgers-Cromartie, Jenkins) we were slated to be competing for a Super Bowl. Now, it’s not even an easy game to face the Bills. Don’t put your money on either team. The Eagles because of their horrid play this season and the Bills because even though they beat the Patriots two weeks ago, they lost to the Bengals last week. What has this league come to?

If this trend of random wins keeps up, the 49ers are going to face the Browns in the Super Bowl with the halftime show being Lil Bow Wow. See what I did there? I named three things people don’t care about.

Please NFL. Stop confusing us.

  1. Tough loss. The Eagles played with herculean expectations and the Bills played like children whose parents aren’t home. Sad times for the NFC East. Do you think the lockout caused the league to plummet into Bizarro world?

  2. I think the lockout played a significant part in the strange occurrences this season. Teams like the Eagles and Jets have fallen to teams that they shouldn’t have. Just look at the Eagles roster and any avid NFL fan would realize that the Eagles’ woes are unacceptable. This traces back to the coaches. Andy Reid and Juan Castillo should not be on our sideline any longer. Like I continuously say, anything can happen in the NFL. The Bills beat down the Patriots and then lost to the Bengals? The league doesn’t make any sense. I would say that the only teams that make any sense right now are the teams that are 0-5 and the teams that are 5-0.
