This week's installment of One Fan's View is ready for your perusal. Enjoy.
First things first, I sat at the bar with my cousin Neil and two new Bills fans that I met that day, both named Andrew. We were chit-chatting before kickoff, and I had my back to the TV. The National Anthem from the San Diego/New Orleans game was playing. I thought, “that sounds like a nice version of the anthem. She sounds lovely.” I often use lovely if I am talking to someone British or watching something British. In all other cases I default to “awesome”. Anyways, I turned around and was shocked to see it was a guy singing. Ne-Yo. Then out comes Joss Stone for “God Save the Queen” and sure enough she sounds like a man. That alone clued me into the fact that this Sunday was going to be a wacky day.
I am still trying to figure out what annoyed me more. Was it that Rich Gannon was campaigning as Chad Pennington’s running mate or that the Bills had a complete position by position breakdown in every aspect of the game?
I think it’s the Gannon situation to be honest. We had to have known that at some point the Bills 4th quarter heroics would run out. We had to know that Trent was going to have a bad game. We knew that Dick Jauron’s tendency to over challenge miniscule data and go ultra conservative would hurt us. We knew that the special teams wouldn’t rock it forever.
