Well-well-well.....it's been two whole years since the original hype train departed on its virgin expedition to fantasy parts unknown. Perhaps you remember?
It was 11/26/2012 when Brown stepped onto the field as a rookie against Carolina as an Eagle. Thrust into action by injury, he proceeded to go off for 19/178/2 &4/11/0. Perhaps a mirage? Well, the next week against Dallas he posted a 24/169/2 & 4/14/0 stat line.
The next coming of Sanders? Not so much....he also had three fumbles during those two games, all of which were lost. This basically sunk him. However, fast-forward two years and he has another chance to reclaim hype-status as a Bill, with Fragile Freddy likely out and only Jugs Dixon as competition.
But what about the fumbilitis? Well, here's a little known fact: Before the unfortunate lost fumble at the goal line last week, he had touched the ball 135 times without a fumble, lost or otherwise.
Anybody on the train tonight?
