Here is the final installment of "One Fan's View" for the 2007 season. He may give an article or two for the post season, but enjoy this last look at the Bills from one of your favorite writers.

There I said it. Let it sink in. Every time we’ve been given a game that has been billed as the Big Game, we have choked.
