Monday Morning Hangover: What Offense Just Plain Offended Fans?

Somebody should be asking Buffalo Bills coach Dick Jauron, "It's Monday morning. Do you know where your offense is?"

Soon they may be asking him, "What do you believe led to your firing as Bills head coach?"

I've never saw an offense so putrid for so long in an NFL season that I could remember. What's more disappointing about it is the Bills defense is actually playing well despite key injuries.

Houston was held to just six points at the half of Sunday's game, and the Bills held a 10-6 advantage.

That was short-lived as Matt Schaub and second-string RB Ryan Moats, a cast away from Philadelphia who was only playing on the strength of Steve Slaton's fumble issues, went up and down the field scoring 25 points in the second half.

How many points did Buffalo score in the second half: zero.

With a high-powered offense featuring Schaub, Andre Johnson, and apparently Moats, the Bills defense finally fell apart.

It was reminiscent of the same meltdown the Bills D suffered in a loss to Drew Brees' New Orleans Saints, with the running game driving the Saints to victory, and not Brees' arm.

Only this time No. 14 was under center, and not No. 5. It wouldn't have mattered, as both QBs seem like carbon copies of one another.

Trent Edwards hasn't looked like he should be starting for the USC Trojans over Matt Barkley, let alone an NFL team. Neither has Ryan Fitzpatrick.

I bet Pete Carroll would take Barkley over them both.

What's really nauseating about the Bills' situation is that they actually have lots of talent on both sides of the ball.

Lee Evans, T.O, Josh Reed, Marshawn Lynch, and Fred Jackson are all good players, but without a threat at the QB position, their talents can't be maximized.

If Peyton Manning or even an Aaron Rodgers were donning Bills blue and red, Buffalo would be a perennial playoff team, and maybe AFC champion.

Unfortunately the franchise has put their stock on college-level QB's, and the Bills won't go anywhere until the regime of Jauron and Edwards comes to a close.

For now, the Bills have to settle for giving their fans a distasteful offensive display that will breed yet another losing season for Upstate New York.

If Ralph Wilson doesn't make moves now, then maybe Toronto will forever hold their peace, and his.

What other stories were especially attention-snatching on Sunday?

Brett Favre Tosses 4 TD's In His Lambeau Homecoming—For the Vikes

I must be honest, I've never received such a huge STFU in the form of an NFL player sticking it to me and my opinions.

I was one of the detractors that suggested Favre stay on his tractor and out of an NFL stadium as a player when he announced coming out of retirement—again.

I always loved Brett as a player, but this retirement blues was beginning to seem like a terrible joke that always had a new twist instead of having a concluding punchline.

Upon waiting for his season to slowly implode a la Jets last year, Favre has seemed to get better as the season has progressed.

He hasn't needed Adrian Peterson to run for 125 yards and two scores every week to win, and he hasn't turned it over in "what the Hell was he looking at, the cheerleaders?" fashion.

In his two victories over his former team including Sunday, here is Favre's stats:

41-for-59, 515 yards, 7 TD, 0 INT, 131.9 Passer Rating

Unbelievable. Aaron Rodgers has played exceptionally well too, but the Vikings are a more complete team and it has showed so far this season.

Kudos to Favre for returning in such a big way, especially after his turnover caused defeat against the world champs last week.

Eagles Blow Out Giants in Philly 40-17 To Take Share of NFC East Lead

When the Eagles signed QB Michael Vick, it was widely believed that they just received the wrapped gift they needed to win a Super Bowl.

So far it has been the crafty vet leading the charge and not the ex-con who obviously doesn't have his legs or mind under him yet.

Donovan McNabb has again proven that he is the man in green and black, something that he shouldn't have to prove anymore. Vick is just an accessory, and in McNabb's absence it was Kevin Kolb who picked up the slack.

The point is, Vick wasn't the start or finish to a hopeful Super Bowl berth in Philly. It always has been and still is No. 5.
