"If you make excuses for losing, you are a loser." Steve Spurrier.
Seems like that's all the Bills coaches, front office, players and fans do anymore -- we make excuses for losing.
Look at Washington -- talk about excuses, they don't have anything except scrub QB's on the roster. The receiving corps was restocked with whatever was "cheap and available" (quote from a pre-preseason Redskins rag). The defensive line was so old and ravaged, there was talk that they'd be forced to go to the 3-4 simply for lack of talent (again, from a pre-preseason Redskins rag).
Well, look at them now. The heck preseason doesn't count!
Spurrier (and Lewis) brilliantly USED the preseason protocol to their advantage to set the entire Redskin team and most of its fan base on fire -- and because of this increased confidence, the team HAS improved exponentially.
They don't know they're not supposed to be very good -- they don't realize it's just preseason -- they don't know it doesn't count -- they don't they don't know all the excuses that COULD be made for them -- they don't realize how far above their "pathetic potential" they are playing. Right now, they only know that they are WINNERS.
It's not too late for the Bills THIS season. Praise God, we have an upcoming preseason game with the LIONS -- the worst team in the league. Come on, coaches, let's blow them out of the water -- run up the score! Let's use this game to really fire up the team and the fans. Let's fire up a team that plays so far above its potential, it really CAN beat the Jets.
