Here’s the thing about sports games: they are an illness. You can spend days and weeks turning your team into a dynasty only to dump them and start from scratch with a whole new team. You spend hours stocking your farm system with players who will likely never see a major league pitch. You waste time downloading roster updates, playbooks and new team logos because you’re obsessed with accuracy. You spend more time in this fantasy world than you do following real life sports. You are sick. So am I.

In a normal season, an undefeated start would be cause for celebration. However, a closer look at the Buffalo Bills defensive statistics reveals a troubling trend developing. The Bills, while 2-0, are currently ranked 31st in the NFL in passing yards allowed. Determined to fix something that isn’t currently broken, Dick Jauron sprung into action.

“I’ve got the perfect guy in mind”
Who?

Tampa is visiting Ralph Wilson stadium for the first time in history, and are coming into Buffalo having been taken to the woodshed by Tony Romo and the Dallas Cowboys the previous week.
Unaccustomed to being expected to win, Dick Jauron was noticeably nervous.

The Buffalo Bills, missing their starting quarterback, backup quarterback and starting running back are just days away from taking on the Las Vegas odds-on favorite to win the Superbowl. Double digit underdogs even before losing Jeff Garcia, Buffalo fans brace for what looks to be a beating of biblical proportions. Looking to boost the fan base, the Buffalo News issues a rallying cry -“It’s always darkest before the dawn”.
Wonderful. Thanks for the pep talk, guys.

The NFL preseason is a mixed blessing. Baseball is a dreadful sport. After 135 games and numerous Big Red Machine anecdotes by Joe Morgan, the summer begins to feel like a root canal. Preseason football helps ease the pain. That is, until the starters are pulled in the first quarter and you are left watching Jim Sorgi battle Charlie Batch in a gripping “AFC playoff preview”.
Madden preseason is no different.

If losing consistently and painfully is a virtue, consider Buffalo the holy land.

For those of you who may not be aware of the particulars, here is a quick rundown.
