I know, no one really gives us a chance at New England. I've heard it all, they've got better coaching, they'll pick us apart with Matt Cassel, Wilfork will dominate the interior of our line, etc.
The thing is, Buffalo isn't a bad team. They had 30 rushing yards the past game, but were still in it, and would have possibly won if it wasn't for a couple of turnovers. The Jets made us one-dimensional and still couldn't stop us. The Bills were 8/13 on third downs.
So we do have a chance against NE. And think about the scenario if we win: at worst we'll be second in the division. Both we and New England will be 1-2 in the division, but we'll have a one-game lead with our overall record. The Jets and Dolphins both have one loss each inside the division, so it's not like they're unreachable.
Our team has played like crap. But they were just talking tonight about seeing the season in 4-game sections. Our first four games were nice, going 4-0. Then they went 1-3. We know this is a streaky team, they've been that way for several years. So this is a perfect chance to go on another streak in the next four games. Start with NE, then we play some suspect teams in Cleveland, KC and San Fransisco.
We're not out of it yet.
