The Bills looked overwhelmed offensively after second-string quarterback Kevin Kolb left the game against Washington with concussion-like symptoms. They called nothing but dink-and-dunk passes the rest of the way. That left their fans wondering who can lead the team downfield if rookie E.J. Manuel (knee) and Kolb are not ready to start the season.
Third-string quarterback Jeff Tuel completed 10 of 17 passes, but for just 63 yards. And after featured back C.J. Spiller scored on a 2-yard run in the first quarter, the Bills were blanked.
Other numbers speak to the ineptitude of the Bills offense Saturday with Kolb out. They finished with a mere eight first downs and managed just 2 of 13 third-down conversions.
