(I know, "no expectations," and I agree. But still there is hope.) Why? Because for the first time in years it sounds as if the members of this board - many of whom really do know football - and the Bills organization are on the same page. What the fans see is the same team and the same problems that Marv and Jauron and the staff see. Marv and his team looked at last year and saw conditioning problems. They looked at the O-line and saw square pegs in round holes, road-grader guards being asked to trap block on play after play. They looked at both lines and they saw sumo wrestlers where they wanted athletes.
So, they went into Free Agency and the draft looking for quickness, speed and youth. They got a new conditioning coordinator who trained under Rusty Jones. Will this all pay off on the field? I think so. At the moment it is certainly paying off in good public relations. This board is a good weathervane of fan sentiment, and on the whole it is upbeat about what is going on. It sees a management that seems to be awake and alive and shares its understanding of the team.
I find the whole quarterback controversy bunk. If the Bills get the defense squared away and solidify the o-line, it shouldn't matter as much whether Losman or Holcomb is at QB. It should be prepared to win with either one, and may even have to since quarterbacks do go down. The wins will look different; they bring different skills to the table. But I feel a lot more secure having both of them in the line up.
