Rob Ford attends a Bills Game
The Buffalo Bills Curse Of 1999
Some may or may not believe in curses, but the circumstances in this situation are hard to ignore. The Buffalo Bills lost four Superbowls in a row in the 90’s but that is not even the curse, just mainly bad luck and a poor secondary. The curse comes into play when in 1999 head coach Wade Phillips and the front office benched Doug Flutie For Rob Johnson in the playoffs. Doug Flutie had a lot of talent but was aging and the thought was Rob Johnson was the future. Well, Rob Johnson is lucky if he is selling cars now in 2013. This action along with the Music City Miracle against Tennessee triggered a 14 year playoff drought for the Buffalo Bills. Whether or not you believe in curses it seems the Buffalo Bills bad luck has stemmed from these actions. To add to the curse in 2004 all the Buffalo Bills had to do was win the final game of the season and beat the 3rd string of the Pittsburgh Steelers who rested their starters. They lost and could not make the playoffs finishing 9-7, being the best record they have had in the past thirteen years. Will the curse ever be broken , who knows . Their small market mentality sure is not helping anything by not being able to bring in premier talent and onlookers. Until Buffalo decides to change its ways or develop a winning culture they will continue to be under the 1999 curse.

The Forgotten Man In Philly
Desean Jackson has been a big play receiver since arriving with the Eagles. He has however gone through his fair share of injury woes. However this season he seems to be healthy and ready to go but getting little praise for it. When Jeremy Maclin went down there was not one person who said well at least we have Desean Jackson. The media essentially went into crisis mode stating there was not much to work with at the wide receiver position for the Eagles. True fans of the Eagles are aware however that they have a true number one in Desean Jackson. Is he a big physical type receiver that is dominant like Larry Fitzgerald or Calvin Johnson, no, but he is dynamic and can get open and should be treated as a number one. In the preseason so far Eagles head coach Chip Kelly has not made many adjustments to get their star receiver the ball. It is a question that needs answering as Desean Jackson seemingly is being undervalued in Philly.
