Don't get me wrong, I'm not stupid- I don't think we have a chance in hell at winning the Super Bowl.
But, over the last few years, following this team became almost a chore. It's like visiting a sick friend in the hospital. You go to hang out with him because you've always hung out with him, but it's awkward every time because you don't want to see him in that condition and he doesn't really want to be seen in that condition. It sucks, but you keep doing it anyway because you both know he needs the support.
This season feels different. Yes, the team still has a few glaring weaknesses, but this is the first time I feel like the team actually tried to get better since the year they signed Spikes and Fletcher, and, barring catastrophic injuries, it should be a lot better.
Of course, I start every football season with the homer in me hoping that the Bills win the SB. But, my more realistic hope is that they can at least be good enough that every game matters, instead of being realistically eliminated with 6 games left and mathematically eliminated with 4 games left.
This is the first time in a LONG time that I feel like they might actually be able to pull that off.
