"Lee Evans' 100th career game was one to forget.

It took 59 minutes and 35 seconds for the Buffalo Bills' best wide receiver to make his only catch Sunday. The meaningless 6-yard grab came on the penultimate play of an embarrassing, 38-14 defeat at the hands of the New York Jets.

So Evans was 25 seconds short of being shut out for the second time in four games. He went without a catch in Week Two, another lopsided loss to the Green Bay Packers.

The Jets played without All-Pro cornerback Darrelle Revis, who sat out with a strained hamstring. But Antonio Cromartie is a pretty good cornerback.

Cromartie shadowed Evans all day. Bills quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick targeted Evans six times, mostly on long passes. The two weren't able to connect until the game was basically over.

"We had some shots dialed up and that was on us," Evans said. "Some of it was we weren't on the same page. They gave us some different looks and there were some things that me and [Fitzpatrick] missed."

"I'll take nothing away from [Cromartie] or their defense. They played well enough to win that football game and win it big. But we had our opportunities and we didn't make the best of them. That first and foremost has to get corrected."

Corrections are sorely needed for a Bills' offense that sputtered badly one week after showing so much promise last week at New England. Of course, the Jets' defense is a lot better than the Patriots' unit.

"I'll be the first one to say that I didn't play very well today," said Evans, who had a couple of throws go through his hands. "It's tough, and not just from my perspective, but overall as a team. Yeah it's frustrating, but even more frustrating is that offensively we haven't been moving the ball very consistently. I don't think we're playing very well together offensively. That's really the bottom line. ... The way we're playing now if it keeps up, it's going to be hard-pressed to win any game."

And the Bills certainly can't win without their best receiver being involved.

"When you have a guy like Lee Evans as the No. 1 receiver, they're going to game plan around him, so we have to move him around in different spots and get him the ball," said wideout Roscoe Parrish. "That's something that [coach] Chan Gailey will work on and look for down the line.""
