I'm often criticized by good posters like Pat, Op, and Wys for being inconsistent, or giving the Bills a pass on this, or not commenting on that. In other words, for not taking the Bills to task for certain personnel decisions, or coaching moves, or other perceived shortcomings.
The answer is, I'm simply a long-time fan. I'm not a budding jounalist, or a would-be football analyst. I'm not trying to make a living in this field, or get noticed by some publication or website, or dominate this board.
I know the Bills have weaknesses - or at least depth problems - at DT, LB, CB, and WR. We're inexperienced at several positions. We're a small market team with an elderly owner who won't spend the kind of money that Dan Snyder or Jerry Jones will. We have an octogenarian GM in only his second year in that position.
I guess I could go on and on, because I've only scratched the surface of my team's problems. But I choose not to go on and on about the negatives, but to concentrate on the positives. I believe our offense - with JP, Evans and Lynch, plus an improved line - will be very good. I believe we have a nucleus of fine players on defense. They will get better, as good young players do.
I'm willing to see how we progress this season, instead of micro-analyzing every move, and magnifying every weakness, before camp even starts. I'm positive and optimistic that we are moving in the right direction. I'm excited about this team and the progress we are making.
I'm a fan.
