Effective week nine, failed defensive end, then failed tight end, then failed special teams player, Jason Peters, will start for the Buffalo Bills at left tackle -- only the most important position on the entire offensive line!

Peters has zero experience at left tackle. The Bills have stupidly played him for six games this season at right tackle. And now they've decided in their inifinite stupidity to promote him.

Former left tackle, Mike Gandy will be moved to left guard.

This position switch is perhaps not the worst of the news as ROOKIE, SEVENTH-ROUND-PICK Terrance Pennington is now the fulltime starter at right tackle! Pennington has played in two games in his whole professional career, starting neither.

We're beyond dredging the bottom of the barrel here folks. Theses are players that aren't even fit to be in NFL uniforms and they're starting in key positions. I would call this insanity but I think more correctly it's senility! As in the 88 & 86-year-old dimwits who are running the organization obviously have had the game pass them by decades ago. And I can't even begin to explain how furious I am right now.

For now, I guess we can expect Melvin Fowler to remain at center, not that he's any great catch. Of the 32 teams in the NFL, Fowler could probably start on two or three of them: max.

Chris Villarrial the only decent offensive lineman on the team seems to be secure in his job at right guard. But you never know, Villarrial has 146 career starts on his resume. His back-up Duke Preston has one. So maybe the braintrust that decided to start Peters and Pennington will maintain their flawless line of stupidity and illogic and start Preston, too.

With an offensive line like that is it any wonder that J.P. Losman and Willis McGahee are struggling?

And the good news just keeps getting better, this week we get to play against the Packers and sack machines: A.J. Hawk and Kabeer Gbaja-Biamila and the 2006 NFL Sack Leader, Aaron Kampman.

Well after allowing five sacks, one fumble and Willis McGahee to get seriously banged up last week, three broken ribs, at home against Green Bay, this week the Bills and their O-Line of infamy travel to Indianapolis to get stomped by the Colts.

Green Bay has a few good pass rushers and one having an exceptional year. Indianapolis' defense is built on the pass rush and they have legit Pro Bowlers up and down the defensive line. It's not just Robert Mathis and Dwight Freeney and their combined line pressure and penetration, it's defensive tackles like Anthony McFarland and linebackers like Cato June and safties like Bob Sanders that are going to make this week a living nightmare for J.P. Losman and the Bills.
