Gay Marriage Vote Puts Heat On Christie
The outcome of this game should not come as a huge surprise. The Bills were better than their record last year, have an offense on the rise, and the Seahawks offensive unit is currently best classified as "in shambles".
Okay, perhaps that's a bit strong -- there are plenty of signs that Seattle will end up being alright this season. Such as: Matt Hasselbeck's second half performance, the Bills scoring two touchdowns on special teams, Nate Burleson didn't even play in the second half and, um, the rushing game gained positive yards.
Or, to put it more accurately: the Bills played like a team that was interested in putting the rest of the league on notice. Which they did. Marshawn Lynch, a.k.a. Beast Mode (in whose style of prose I was tempted to type this entire recap) bulldozed in for an early 21 yard touchdown. Lee Evans got 102 yards on four catches. Robert Royal hauled in a TD. Brian Moorman (punter of you-got-jacked fame) threw for one. So, really, routine stuff.
But all special plays and snarkiness aside, the Seahawks just weren't ready for the 2008 season to start yet. They have, as I noted elsewhere, a running back combo of Julius Jones and Maurice Morris. If Burleson remains injured, they have a wide receiver combo of Courtney Taylor and, um, (/checks depth chart) Logan Payne.
Since Morris is also hurt, it's all Ju-Jo, all the time, and it might not be pretty. This would be an entirely different ballgame, of course, if there was anyone to catch balls, but, frankly, there's not a whole lot of weapons in the Pacific NW right now.
On the other end of the country though, things look pretty good; Roscoe Parrish picked up 120 return yards, a team record. Evans quick start to the season was particularly impressive given his history and the unknown that is Trent Edwards, and Lynch's strong day against a tough defense provides a preview of a potential 1,500 yard season from the second year player.
And even if everything collapses in Buffalo, at least Moorman's got a perfect passer rating.
