    OK Help me to not be negative

    you should know by now im not generally the negative type, far from it. if anything i tend to be overly optimistic, especially about sports

    yet i havent been able to shake the feeling that this is yet another lost season. i havent felt this negative this early in a season in as long as i can remember

    true its only one game and anything can happen

    but so far weve seen a team that just cant stop making mistakes

    the already extremely porous defense now has starters dropping like iraqis at a mixed wedding

    extreme youth and weak depth over most of the roster

    jp starting out looking skittish and confused

    coaches playing not to lose early and taking low percentage gambles when trying to protect a lead

    all against the most brutal schedule i think i can ever remember

    granted lynch looks extremely promising but still whiffed on an important blitz pickup and regardless cant do it himself esp as a rook

    idk. i just cant find any reason to feel good about finally breaking the playoff drought. at this point it looks more likely another top ten draft pick position is all we have to look forward to

    tell me how i can and should feel differently

            Good riddance Fairchild. Of course, the knowledge of your departure will only make TE more hateable than the typical Bills QB. Good luck, hope we don't mess you up like JP.

              I have been watching this team for 29 years now. Unfortunately I agree. We are gonna have some good games this year. Your never as good as your last win or as bad as your last loss. However with the team in place right now I would be very encouraged by a .500 performance. I wish I could be happier about JP as our QB but Im not. I see another season of good/bad/good/bad performance and thats just not gonna do it. I don't see the defensive situation as being any better. Our special teams are gonna be our brightest area again this year.

                Meathead, you can get up and walk away from watching the Bills game if you are getting frustrated.

                Kevin Everett may not have the same luxury.

                This works for me....

                  Free from desire, you realize the mystery.
                  Caught in desire, you see only the
                  manifestations.

                  Yet mystery and manifestations
                  arise from the same source.
                  This source is called darkness.

                  Darkness within darkness.
                  The gateway to all understanding.

                  Thus it is said:
                  The path into the light seems dark,
                  the path forward seems to go back,
                  the direct path seems long,
                  true power seems weak,
                  true purity seems tarnished,
                  true steadfastness seems changeable,
                  true clarity seems obscure,
                  the greatest art seems unsophisticated,
                  the greatest love seems indifferent,
                  the greatest wisdom seems childish.

                          I agree with a lot of what you said meathead. I didnt expect much to come of this season anyways, but always had hope. Right now Im looking for the young guys to continue to improve and grow.

                          Most importantly, with everything going on like injuries to starters and of course the Everett tragedy, Im really looking to see what kind of character this team has. Now is the time to see what this team is made of. If these really are "Marv" guys, they will not just lay down. Its time to dig deep, and im looking forward to seeing if these young guys step up.

                            Dude, you just summed up my feelings to a T.
                            If we hadn't had such a dismal past 10 years, maybe I would feel different.
                            The ONLY hope I can offer is that there are some time tested truths in NFL football.

                            1) You just never know. Other teams could have chemistry, injury, coaching problems. I can't see it happening right now, but a lot can happen over the course of the season (just look at everything that is going on in/after the first week!).

                            2) On any given Sunday.......it happens. A team with less talent beats the better team. Then they win a few others on flukes, bad officiating, etc etc.

                            3) In todays watered-down leage, 8-8 might make the playoffs. Not likely, but maybe. You don't have to be very good to make the playoffs depending on the year. Now being in the AFC with Indy and NE, we can't bank on this happening, but....see #1.
