Bills WR blames God for dropped pass

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Stevie Johnson blamed God for dropping a game-winning touchdown in a 19-16 overtime loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday.

The Bills outscored the Steelers 16-3 in the second half to force the overtime, but let the victory slip through their fingers, literally, as Johnson dropped a wide-open pass in the end zone.

Buffalo quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick could only watch as Johnson dropped the sure touchdown and Pittsburgh drove 80 yards on the game's next series to set up the game-winning 41-yard field goal by Shaun Suisham.

Johnson was reluctant to accept responsibility for the gaffe, posting on his Twitter account post-game that it was in fact God's fault.

"I PRAISE YOU 24/7!!!!!! AND THIS HOW YOU DO ME!!!!! YOU EXPECT ME TO LEARN FROM THIS??? HOW???!!! ILL NEVER FORGET THIS!! EVER!!! THX THO...," Johnson tweeted.

Fitzpatrick finished the day completing 23 of 45 passes for 265 yards in the loss.

Suisham, who was brought in earlier this month after the Steelers waived long-time kicker Jeff Reed, provided the bulk of Pittsburgh’s points, converting four of four field goals at Ralph Wilson Stadium.

Steelers running back Rashard Mendenall ran for 151 yards and one touchdown on 36 attempts to help keep Pittsburgh in position to win the tight game on the road.

Quarterback Ben Roethlisberger threw for 246 yards, completing 20 of 33 passes.

The result snapped Buffalo's two-game winning streak after a miserable 0-8 start to the season.

The team now travels to Minnesota to take on the Vikings, who are 4-7 coming off a win over the Washington Redskins.

Pittsburgh, 8-3, heads to Baltimore next Sunday night to square off against AFC North rivals the Ravens.

What an idiot with a bad hair cut. He dropped 4 other passes in the game. This is one week after playing a good game against the Bengals. But he had written on his t shirt during the Bengals game "Why so serious". He is just another player with talent but with more of an attitude.

[dazed&confused]

Yep, he's stupid. Just like those other athletes who praise God and credit him for their team's win after the game. A curse on both your houses! God is not watching Sunday Ticket and deciding who wins or loses. He is resting on the Seventh Day. Now, when the Buckeyes play.....

Everyone knows that God isn't a Bills fan!

[YOU'RE TIGER BAIT]

thats funny, orange and brown. while i'm sure god had no hand in him missing or catching the ball, you can bet he knows what was said. expect more of the same, till he figures out his stupidity, and asks the lord for forgiveness.

As Bills coach Chan Gailey says, Johnson losses his focus at times while he is playing.

He lost his focus on the pass.

He needs to man up, he dropped the ball, it happens, God had nothing to do with it.

[Charge]

It might have been Vegas that made him drop it, but it certainly wasn't God's fault. To say such a thing is not very smart.

Maybe....just maybe he needs to do a little " soul searching" to see if he is on GODs side, instead of GOD being on his side.
