Bills V Browns, one team will win Monday Night Football

Since these two struggling teams are facing each other, yeah, we’re quite sure one of ‘em will win.

Downward spiral. That’s exactly where Buffalo and Cleveland are coming to this huge Monday Night Football game on the 11th week of the 2008-09 NFL football season.

First, we have the Buffalo Bills, a team that was able to have such a roaring start to the season that we already saw people jumping on the Bills’ bandwagon anticipating them to take over the Brady-less AFC East. But after ten weeks, it was New York and its Jets who took over the division while Buffalo plummeted down the standings after losing three straight.

The Cleveland Browns, on the other hand, Trent Edwardswere expected to stir up some noise this year after such a strong finish to the 2007 season. But for some reason, the Browns struggled to get going right from the start of their 2008 campaign. Last season’s Pro Bowl quarterback Derek Anderson has already been shelved as a result for second year player Brady Quinn, but after losing two straight, it looks like even Quinn won’t be able to salvage what’s left of their season.

These two teams will play on Monday Night Football at Ralph Wilson Stadium where, hopefully, one of them will finally get a win and put an end to what has been a miserable losing skid. The worst thing that can happen here is a tie and after the Eagles and the Bengals already had one last Sunday, let’s hope the same thing doesn’t happen to them.

For what it’s worth, both teams have this sense of urgency after losing a game the last time they were on the field.

‘’I talked to the majority of the guys after last week’s game, and I let them know that it looks like everybody is straining and stressing and trying to make plays,'’ Bills safety Donte Whitner said, referring to his team’s loss to New England last week. ‘’Trying to compensate for what they think is missing out there instead of everybody locking in and focusing on their individual job and having fun doing it.'’

Jamal Lewis, on the other hand, called out his teammates, calling them quitters after losing to the Broncos two Thursdays ago. Let’s hope for Lewis’ sake that he actually got his team going after voicing out his displeasure towards his teammates public.
