11.18.08 WIDE RIGHT 2.0
Last night’s Browns-Bills game was brutally insipid for three quarters, then it magically turned into a great game in the 4th quarter. That final period opened with a Browns 72-yard touchdown run followed 
immediately by a Bills 98-yard kickoff return for a score, and it closed with dueling field attempts: Phil Dawson connected from 56 yards with 1:39 remaining to give the Browns a 29-27 lead, then Rian Lindell missed a 47-yarder in the final minute. By inches. Wide right.
No, it’s not as bad as losing the Super Bowl on a missed field goal. But it’s kind of like a girlfriend leaving you the same way your wife did 18 years ago.
As brutal as that was for Buffalo fans, it was an exciting finish to a game that was otherwise a collection of Trent Edwards interceptions (three in the first four possessions) and Braylon Edwards drops (countless and inexcusable). It even overshadowed the shoddy coaching — Dick Jauron stopped trying as soon as Buffalo reached the outer limits of field goal range, and Romeo Crennel… well, let’s not give him the nuclear codes just yet. Besides, he’s still fat.

thanks for rubbing the salt in Matt. Kelly probably wished he had a shot gun to go with that hunting hat
Does that dude know that the Steelers aren’t actually on the field?

Jim Kelly gave this exact same expression when his son died.
/ouch, not proud of myself for that one
It really came down to who wanted to lose that game more and the Bills are masters of snatching defeat from the jaws of victory.
(Phone rings)
“Hey man, what’s up?”
“I’m shaving my gut for MNF, call me back.”
Dick Jauron should be ashamed of himself. What a pussy move - get to the 30 and try to run out the clock.
Not only did he throw Lindell under the bus; he made him kick from the left hash mark. At least gain no yardage up the middle.
I guess all that can be said is Go Steelers.
