Another week, another pathetic display of “professional” football by the Buffalo Bills. What really angers me is the cavalier attitude from our “star” running back Marshawn Lynch, who was captured on camera on the Bills sideline laughing it up, right after running back Ryan Moats of the Texans scored his third touchdown of the game.

This is supposed to be our star back and Lynch can’t even get 60 yards? Yet we have a backup, Fred Jackson, who not only plays hard and is a team player but who also has had better numbers than Lynch. Jackson earned the chance to start by putting up good numbers and yet this egotistical star in his own mind who should be relegated to second string has the audacity to be laughing when his team is down, 31-10?

Good running backs find ways to get yardage and yet Lynch has shown absolutely nothing to deserve the breaks he’s been given to continue to be the starter. I realize the problems on this team go well beyond Lynch, but this kind of sums up just how much discipline this franchise instills on these players while most teams would have told Lynch to hit the streets by now.
