As bad as we've played and we've played bad, it's far from over and there is a lot of football to play. Yes, this team is giving up way too many points. Yes, we won't win many games if we don't play better. But, as bad as it's been, the damage we've done hasn't been devastating. Look at the standings. Were 1 game out of 1st in the AFC East and only 3 teams in all of the AFC have more wins (Hou, Bal, NE). Basically it's Houston and every body else in the AFC.
We have the bye week to work to turn it around. We may add a player or two or make a change or two. Maybe not. We have players getting vocal and you know they will be vocal behind the closed doors in the locker room.
We know we have areas where we aren't playing well enough. ILB, OLB, and yes QB. But, many other teams are in that boat. Hell, no team is so perfect that they have no weaknesses. I think the standings reflect that.
Yes, it's possible that we stink up the NFL this year. That's a plausible conclusion. But, I still hope we don't. And with the standings the way they are I won't throw in the towel on the season yet.
I think you've seen me defending this team lately. I'm doing it because I really don't think were as far off as it seems. I reserve the right to be wrong. I've been wrong many times before.
But set all that aside. This is our team. Many cities don't have one. We do. This is still the team that had Bruce, Jimbo, Thurman, Tasker, Biscuit, Levy, Polian, and 4 SB appearances. This is still my team and I will find a way to enjoy watching my team play. If for no other reason than we have a team; I have a team. Even if I think were going no where this year, my team still has players that I really like to watch play the game of football... Stevie, Freddie, CJ, Hairston, Gilmore, Kyle Williams, Scott Chandler. I can enjoy just that. Those guys are Bills and they play for my team. As a guy who likes the draft I can enjoy watching prospects and hoping we draft them to turn it around; I can look forward to who the next great Bill might be.
Be pissed, I am. Come talk, *****, whine, moan, whatever. I will. But I just hope you can find a way to enjoy the fact that you can do all that here... on the best Bills board (and I honestly feel that way)... with other Bills fans... and that you're talking about your team and not some other team. And I hope that you can find a way to still enjoy football and moreover Bills football. After all, it's still our team. So wear a paper bag over your head if you like... but poke some eye holes through it so you can still watch your Bills play the game of football, even as badly as we sometimes do it.
