Buffalo Sports Recovery Day
The Bills trailed the Rams 14-6 at one point, but came back to win 31-14. After struggling through the first half, the Bills showed their skill at second half adjustments, driving down for a Fred Jackson TD midway through the third quarter. It should’ve been tied, but there was a penalty on a successful 2 point try. Buffalo took the lead on the first play of the fourth quarter, with Jabari Greer returning an interception for a TD. A Bills field goal and a Lee Evans TD pass rounded out the scoring. Most troubling was Terrence McGee going down with a sprained MCL. However, as has been the norm for the Bills of the past 2 seasons, the next guy stepped in and played well. In this case, it was Leodis McKelvin, who had a forced fumble when he crushed Dane Looker. The Bills are now 4-0, with the Buzzsaw coming in, a team that just gave up 56 to Favre and the Jets.
Jochen Hecht has the Sabres’ only goal as the Wild beat Buffalo 2-1 in the shootout. Patrick Lalime was solid in the start, stopping 18 of 19 in regulation and OT. By the way, what happened with Gaustad/Paille/Bergeron? I only heard that part on the radio so I’m not sure how bad the hit on Key Lime was, but I’m glad Goose and Rivet are stepping up to protect their teammates. I wish Tim Kennedy had been able to score a shootout winner for the home crowd, but what can you do?

Bills Gut Out A Win In Jacksonville
Sep 14, 2008 NFL
It was a solid road victory for the Buffalo Bills as they beat the Jacksonville Jaguars in the 4th Quarter, 20 to 16. Trent Edwards was outstanding, completing 80% of his passes for 1 TD and no picks. Lynch had another TD to go with 59 yards against the Jags D. Fred Jackson was excellent catching passes out of the backfield, and rookie James Hardy had his first two receptions, one of them was the TD pass from Trent Edwards.
Buffalo was down 16-10 a few minutes into the 4th quarter, but came back with 2 scoring drives to take and extend the lead on Jacksonville, and the defense held from there. Oakland is up next, who managed a win against the also-terrible Chiefs this week. BRING ‘EM ON.
