Buffalo Bills beat Houston, barely. Sickening, how do you struggle to beat an expansion team with injuries???? Anyway, the Bills are 3-3 which is not to bad. The offense is fine and averages 31 points a game. So what's the problem you ask? The stinking defense!!!! They couldn' t tackle an elephant in a phone booth . . . sleeping!!! The Bills are supposed to have the best cornerback tandem in the league with the two Buckeyes, Antoine Winfield and Nate Clemens, which is close to being accurate, even though the Bills have no interceptions this year. However, the drop in quality between the regular package and the nickel package is horrendous. The number 3 corner is Chris Watson, who is decent at best, and all that teams are doing is isolating him and picking him apart. The safeties are also young, we have rookie free safety and second year strong safety, so we hope that the problem is simply lack of experience.

Good news is that Travis Henry, our running back racked up some yards, but he did fumble for the fifth time in five/six games. I still think the playoffs are possible. The offense will score its 31 points per game. The defense I think can get better and maybe hold people to an average of 30 points per game. We'll see.
