And you thought last week’s Miami debacle was bad? By comparison that was Ali vs. Frazier all over again.
The Buffalo Bills went out, at home, against a winless Cleveland Browns team in a game they absolutely had to have. Rather than win, they laid the ultimate egg. The result was a 6-3 demoralizing loss and in essence dashed the Bills playoff dreams just five weeks into the season.
If you want to know how ghastly things have gotten for the Bills offense, here’s all you need to know; Browns quarterback Derek Anderson completed 2 of 17 passes for a total of 23 yards.. And he was the winning quarterback.

I just spoke to several fans outside Ralph Wilson stadium and the consensus is the owner is ready to receive a massive demonstration today.
There are dozens of anti Dick Jauron signs all over, and protesting groups are ready to drown out Wilson’s halftime ceremony (he’ll be receiving his Hall of Fame ring) with “Fire Dick” chants.
One group has even taken the trouble of going around to various tailgating parties to recruit demonstrators.

Signs are starting to indicate this afternoon’s contest against Cleveland could be head coach Dick Jauron’s final stand. Whispers around the team are rapidly turning into rumblings, and could come to a dramatic head by Monday morning if the Bills fall at home to the lowly (and winless) Browns.
It’s the second consecutive week the Bills face off against an opposition that’s failed to win a game. Last week the Bills traveled to Miami in a crucial divisional battle against the then 0-3 Dolphins. Buffalo simply failed to show up and were rewarded with a 38-10 spanking.

Some bullets & bits to get you ready for this afternoon’s game.
* The Bills are very likely to catch a nice break offensively as Cleveland linebacker D’Qwell Jackson is likely to miss the game with a hamstring injury. It would be the second consecutive week the top defender facing the Bills missed the game with a bad hamstring. Miami’s Joey Porter missed last week’s game with the same injury. Jackson is tied for third in the NFL with 39 tackles, a number shared by Bills linebacker Keith Ellison.
* Donte Whitner (thumb) and Bryan Scott (ankle) will both miss their consecutive game. George Wilson and Jarius Byrd get the starts again at safety.

The Erie Community College football team dropped a crucial Northeast Conference game on the road in Peckville, PA to Lackawanna College October 10.
Erie took a 3-0 lead in to halftime as Mike Lawandus (Lancaster/Sweet Home) kicked a 22-yard field goal with seven seconds left in the first half.
The defensive first half featured nine-straight punts to open the game. The ninth one by Erie led to their only points of the game. Joshua Bailey mishandled the Kats punt at his own 22-yard line and the fumble was recovered by Trent Alls (Buffalo/Riverside).

The University at Buffalo volleyball team dropped a 3-1 decision to Ball State on Saturday night at Worthen Arena as the Bulls were unable to sustain the momentum from a set two victory. The loss drops UB’s record to 12-7 on the year and 3-3 in the MAC.
Ball State took the contest 25-22, 17-25, 25-16, 25-15 as the Cardinals hit .286 opposed to .172 for the Bulls. After falling in a tightly-contested first set, the Bulls defeated Ball State 25-17 in the second. However, the host Cardinals won both the third and fourth to take the match.

The key to winning on the road is to play great defense and take advantage of your chances. The Sabres played great defense and had plenty of chances. They capitalized only once when Mike Grier scored the only goal to give the Sabres a 1-0 victory in Nashville.
The Sabres limited the Predators to 25 shots and Miller stopped them all to earn his first shutout of the season. Miller made some really good saves including a dandy on a shorthanded breakaway by Marcel Goc late in the third to keep the game scoreless.
