13. Buffalo Bills 4-5 (11)

The NFL did the Bills no favors on Monday night in Seattle.  The NFL admitted they blew a missed roughing the kicker call at the end of the first half that would have allowed Buffalo to attempt another chance at three points.

Those three points would have made a difference in the fourth quarter.  However after starting the game with a blocked punt on the Seahawks first drive and going up 7-0, the defense could do little to stop the Seattle offense.

If the Bills had been able to figure that out and made a few stops, we would not be sitting here talking about another game the Seahawks were able to get away with.

Someday the Bills will start getting the benefit of those calls but that is what happens when you are a good team.  Even good teams get lucky.  The Bills need to learn to overcome a little adversity and not let it affect how they perform.  It is easier said than done but now the AFC playoff picture becomes very murky as far as Buffalo is concerned.
