Another end of year recap by Tim Graham from ESPN. I usually like how he writes.

1. Pennington's revenge game, Week 17. How can you argue with that???

Here are the Bills games listed:

6. Miracle at the Meadowlands II: The Bills were on the verge of a highly likely victory, leading the Jets 27-24 just before the two-minute warning. The Bills asked mistake-prone quarterback J.P. Losman to pass. Blitzing safety Abram Elam forced a fumble, and defensive end Shaun Ellis returned it for a touchdown to win and keep their fading postseason hopes alive.

7. Surging Bills beat Chargers: The Bills' season appeared so promising after Week 7. Amid concerns about concussed quarterback Trent Edwards and a terrible loss to the Cardinals, the Bills emerged from their bye week and handled the Chargers, 23-14. Bills linebacker Kawika Mitchell picked off Philip Rivers in the end zone late in the fourth quarter to put Bills fans on their last high of the year.

8. Buffalo's Monday night misery: Entering Week 11, the Bills' season was about to spiral out of control. They were trying to avoid .500 when they hosted their first Monday night game in 13 years. Edwards plunged in from 1 yard to give the Bills a 27-26 lead with 2:35 to play. Cleveland's Phil Dawson kicked a 56-yard field goal with 1:44 left. Then Rian Lindell missed a 47-yarder that would have won it for Buffalo.

10. Cruel wind blows in Buffalo: Wind gusts of 75 mph in Ralph Wilson Stadium created absurd conditions in a season finale with postseason implications. Gales twisted the Ralph Wilson Stadium uprights and kept the ball on the ground. Cassel passed eight times in a 13-0 Patriots victory that eventually was rendered moot by the Dolphins winning the first game on this list.

At least one was a win for us. :-)

Good point. I failed to catch that and I was at the cowboy game.
