Cousins’ 4 TD Passes Lead Skins Past Eliminated Bills 35-25
Methodic, hope-killing 80-yard drive by Washington following the Bills touchdown.
Watkins piled up additional accolades in the team’s 35-25 loss at Washington. “How old are we around here?” “But I guess I was wrong”.
“I believe in the staff and organization that they’re going to fix the problem”, said Watkins. “That’s not adults so I’m not anxious about that”. “No, not this year”, said Rex Ryan, in his first season as Buffalo’s coach. The Eagles are 3-4 at home. It really is not in Cousins’ interest to get a deal done so early because it should probably only help his bargaining position to hit the open market. “Everybody”, Ryan said. “That’s just the reality of this business”. “We had faith in him the whole time”. My mindset is if you’re an attack defense, if you’re a bully on the field, you don’t let anything else dictate what you do. The next play, Taylor threw a 48 yard touchdown pass to Sammy Watkins putting the Bills within 11 with a score of 17-28. We’re grown men and this is our job.
While Mario Williams initially criticized the constant substitution of defensive players, he eventually got down to his biggest pet. The former North Carolina State University Wolfpack star reiterated his disdain of the defensive scheme that Rex Ryan utilizes. If they’re not doing their job, get them out of here. 500 for the sixth time in seven years. A few times. That’s 10 years.
“I’ve seen enough football to know that this team’s talent far exceeds their effort and discipline”.
It seems the Washington Redskins watch their own game tape and have come to the same conclusion of every other sensible observer. Williams was asked this question directly.
“We’ve got a lot of guys who can catch the ball for us and make plays and be electric”, Cousins said. Already the team has gotten over its previous inability to win on the road and to win back-to-back games, but now the Redskins need to find a way to win during primetime. That’s 100. I know we can win here.
“But, hey, you can blame me for everything”.
Staying in Buffalo would likely require a pay cut and Williams doesn’t sound like a player ready to take that pay cut. “You can change. People are afraid of change and so forth”.
“I think everybody needs to look at themselves in the mirror – forget the coaches”, Watkins said. “So if one person is singled out as that needs to be done, then so be it. That’s not my decision”.
With so much to play for, there was plenty left to desire from this team, not just in Week 15 but since September.
BUFFALO 0, WASHINGTON 14: Bills offense unable to get anything going.
Clearly, the Bills miss both Stephon Gilmore and Aaron Williams, but this was historically bad.
“This is the NFL”, Ryan said. Jackson had a season high 153 yards, including a deep touchdown catch. “Needless to say it broke our back there”. Since he is 30 years of age and has a $12.9 million salary, the Buffalo Bills might allow him to walk away after the season. Bills running back LeSean McCoy injures his right knee (questionable to return).
