Happy Days Lois & Clark Posted April 2, 2005 Share Posted April 2, 2005 http://www.gbnreport.com/ Buffalo: One of the best stories in the NFL this season - at least east of San Diego - was the resurgence of the Buffalo Bills. Coming off a dismal 6-10 season in 2003, the Bills started the season at 1-5, but won 8 of their past 10, including a streak of 6 straight, to give themselves an improbable shot at making the playoffs. While much of the credit for the Bills' turnaround has gone to the emergence of Willis McGahee, the Bills 2003 first round pick, who has given Buffalo a creditable ground game after not playing at all last season as he rehabbed from that serious knee injury suffered in the 2002 BCS title game, WR Lee Evans, this year's #1 pick, has also played a key role. Evans, the 13th player selected overall at the 2004 draft, has given the Bills the quality #2 receiver to help take some of the pressure off Eric Moulds; in the process, Evans has given the Bills a defense-stretching big-play threat as he averaged almost 18 yards per catch on 48 total receptions, including 9 which went for TDs. TE Tim Euhus, a 4th round pick, also contibuted 11 receptions, including a TD catch. Meanwhile, WR Jonathan Smith, a 7th rounder whom the Bills resigned after releasing him prior to the start of the season, gave the special team's a boost as he averaged almost 20 yards a punt return, including a 70-yarder for a score, late in the season. The Bills also received some unexpected contributions from undrafted free agent DBs Rashad Baker and Jabari Greer, a couple of former Tennessee Volunteers, who have combined for 31 tackles and 5 pass breakups, with Baker adding a pick and Greer a sack. Meanwhile, QB J.P. Losman, the Bills' second opening round pick, got a few minutes of mop up time, but with Drew Bledsoe back in form wasn't needed...

Astrobot Posted April 2, 2005 Share Posted April 2, 2005 Must be talking about a plaster cast made of Drew's butt hitting the turf, which sold on eBay for $24. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
