I've been a Bills fan since the early 1960s...I went to my first Bills game in 1964 at the Rockpile. Hell, when I was really young, the Bills used to play in black and white on my TV...
I watched the game yesterday, and was totally underwhelmed by the effort on offense.
This was one of the worst efforts I have seen on offense in my lifetime...and it has lasted the entire year. The Bills defense actually did a pretty decent job, as they have in the past few years (except when our opponents were running the ball). However, when the Bills got the ball, ANY lead seemed insurmountable.
Some people on this board have wanted us to lose out so we can get a higher draft choice. To those people, I just have to say...WAKE UP. Do you really think that picking 3 or 4 places higher in the draft is suddenly going to make the Bills a contender???? I have been hoping that the Bills could make their draft choices from the past 4 or 5 years into a team that could compete. It's laughable that anyone would think that losing out would actually make our team better because of one higher pick. Look at teams like the Lions and Rams....it hasn't helped them get better.
This team needs a front office who can legitimately evaluate talent, and a coaching staff who can develop not only individual talent, but can build a team with good chemistry who works synergistically to be good on both sides of the ball. This team needs to develop a winning, rather than losing, attitude. It needs to be MUCH stronger physically, instead of leading the league every year in people on IR.
I haven't bothered to proofread this post...I'm just ranting. But it's a very sad, sad statement to put out here that I actually, at 54 years old, am more interested in my fantasy football team (who is actually in the PLAYOFFS) than I am about watching the Bills.
I can remember a time when December was one of my favorite times as a Bills fan.
I am hoping and praying for that to become a reality again.
I will never give up hope for that as long as I live.
