Bills GIF Recap: Week 7

Hey guys,

The Buffalo Bills flew to London to embarrass everyone you love. They played against the Jacksonville Jaguars. Here’s how it went:

They call fries “chips” over there. It’s crazy, you guys.

I know, Boo. I’m not ready for this either.

McCoy: still good. EJ: still bad.

11:32 — Drive stalls, Bills punt (0-0 tie)

I usually don’t drink when watching sports at home, so watching a morning Bills game didn’t disrupt my routine much. I can’t imagine trying to get through this sober if you’re the type that needs to drink to enjoy Bills games. That probably didn’t work out well for anyone.

10:14 — Jaguars run, pass, hold, punt (0-0 tie)

Things are going downhill for me in Puntasy this year. I have a .500 record pending this week’s results, but I did have Brian Anger kicking for me. He had an OK day.

9:32 — Manuel runs for 10-yard gain (0-0 tie)

With you so far, EJ.

8:56 — Manuel throws 29-yard pass to Chris AGGRO Gragg (0-0 tie)

If Manuel had any accuracy at all, this was a touchdown.

8:56 — Manuel throws swing pass out of bounds to GRAGG (0-0 tie)

If Gragg had any understanding of the boundaries of football this is a catch.

7:28 — Kick Rock kicks 31-yard field goal (3-0 Bills)

{whispers} it’s all downhill from here dog {whispers}

3:59 — Gilmore takes DPI penalty, but Jaguars punt (3-0 Bills)

I have a lot more Halloween-themed GIFs laying around than I thought I did, so here you go.

2:21 — Manuel sacked, Bills punt (3-0 Bills)

1:33 — Brock Braddles throws 23-yard pass to Allen Robinson (3-0 Bills)

I… am unafraid.

Perhaps this will be more difficult than advertised.

12:30 — Manuel sacked, fumbles, returned for touchdown (14-3 Jaguars)

This is like watching the a Lars von Trier-directed version of Wall-e.

12:21 — Manuel interception returned for 26-yard touchdown (21-3 Jaguars)

Damn the visa issues, EJ, just never come back.

10:06 — Manuel intercepted by the ghost of Paul Posluszny (21-3 Jaguars)

Poz fumbled the ball out of bounds, which made this the perfect Buffalo Bills play.

I don’t think I’m going to be able to actually talk about this sequence correctly for a long time. Maybe never. I don’t know if anything like this has ever happened. Has it? I have no idea and I’m afraid to actually check.

8:34 — T.J. Yeldon runs for 28-yard touchdown (27-3 Jaguars)

Slow down the mauling is inevitable.

2:52 — Manuel throws 10-yard touchdown to Robert Woods (27-10 Jaguars)

This was the end result of 12 straight no-huddle plays that started with Manuel in shotgun formation. That’s about all the analysis you’re going to get for this one. It’s just stunning how quickly this entire game fell apart.

1:52 — Jaguars go 3-and-out, punt (27-10 Jaguars)

Say what you will about the entire team’s performance, but the defensive effort definitely kept them in this one.

0:12 — Carpenter kicks 38-yard field goal (27-13 Jaguars)

Oh no you guys great half. Really.

Also:

I feel really bad for the people that had to watch this game on a computer. Bad sports on small screens is miserable. AND WHAT IF THERE’S BUFFERING OH GOD

Oh so this is how they came back: the Jaguars are trash, too.

Creeping up on them.

14:35 — Blink Breeples throws three straight incompletions, Jaguars punt (27-16 Jaguars)

Man, Jacksonville really did play poorly in this one. It’s no wonder they’ve had so many late leads slip away. No closing act for these guys.

12:04 — Manuel throws 25-yard pass to McCoy, who fumbles on 1.

why

Jaguars recover. McCoy injured (27-19 Jaguars)

why

11:07 — Yeldon runs for 3 yards, Bleep Brackles throws two incompletions, Jaguars punt (27-16 Jaguars)

9:44 — Manuel sacked, Mikey From Recess recovered, Bills punt (27-16 Jaguars)

I had to pick up a friend from the airport during the game, so I listened to parts of hte third quarter on the radio. Listening to EJ play football on the radio is like hearing a news report about a nuclear power plant meltdown. It’s so terrible and sad and frustrating.

7:22 — Jaguars go 3-and-out, punt (27-16 Jaguars)

Not exactly a lively bunch, are they?

7:15 — Manuel sacked (27-16 Jaguars)

ROBOT YOU ARE SUPPOSED TO RUN OR GET RID OF THE BALL WHO PROGRAMMED YOU TO BE LIKE THIS?!?

6:41 — Manuel throws 58-yard touchdown to Marcus Easley (27-22 Jaguars)

This is the most literal GIF of what happened that I could find. It’s like if you were sitting in an elementary school gymnasium and suddenly a whale just drops in there. What the hell? Where did that come from?

And then it was gone.

McCoy runs for 2-point conversion (27-24 Jaguars)

This is stupid and will only end in pain.

5:34 — Blurk Brimples throws football at the moon, intercepted by Corey Graham for 44-yard touchdown (31-27 Bills)

I don’t even know what to say about this. Sometimes the inexplicable happens and you just sort of need to accept it. This is a thing that happened. It exists in our world. And, in the end, it didn’t matter even a little bit.

3:04 — Nikel Robey called for DPI on 3rd and 15 (31-27 Bills)

Wasn’t a penalty. Football is dumb. Welcome to hell.

2:25 — Bronk Brittles throws 31-yard touchdown pass to Alan Hurns (34-31 Jaguars)

Pretty good catch. Oh, right, the reaction:

No, it’s fine. We can take it.

0:57 — Manuel throws incomplete pass on 4th and 2 (31-27 Bills)

A fitting end.

No, really. How?

Enjoy the week off, y’all. See you for the stretch run.
