Sure, everyone loves the underdog. God, too. And so, to avoid more of the wrath the Bills have suffered this season, they tried a new strategy. They decided to let the scrub teams win. Maybe that would right the wrongs. Maybe that would turn the tide. Give an 0-3 dog and an 0-4 disaster something to hope for. Uh…

Let’s summarize the season thus far. Everything was lookin’ good for 2009-10 until about 2:30 left in the Bills’ week one tilt against New England. McLovin’ lost the handle, and so it went. It continued with some wieners scrawled on Leodis’ lawn and with 400k of bling swiped from Donte Whitner’s crib. And, aside from one bright spot this year (putting the beat-down on the hapless Bucs), there hasn’t been much else.

Last week, the Bills started out strong on the receiving end of a 38-10 drubbing at the hands of a rookie QB and a college-style offense that produced over 200 yards rushing. Nice work, guys. And this week, for fear of a shootout vs. the NFL’s 32nd-ranked pass defense, the boys in blue decided that the way to keep this one close was by using the relatively unknown “false start” formation. 9 offsides penalties in one game, all on ONE TEAM. Ours. And it worked! The score was 3-3 right down to the wire when the Browns were unable to punch the ball in from the 1 yard line and had to settle for another field goal. Not to worry, fellas, it was enough. What a show.

Hey, at least the Sabres are winning. Is it too early to start talking hockey?
