Perhaps it's only me but as the fourth quarter was playing out I actually felt like this team could pull off a cardiac finish to a contest they blew in the first half. No idea how they even stayed in that game. The whole scenario certainly supports the premise of these threads. This is a very good football team with a quarterback problem. Orton is so much better than what we have had but still leaves something to be desired. I love his ability to go down field with a tight well thrown ball though. He can threaten anywhere on the field something we clearly have not seen since Bledsoe. It's so hard to sit here and end up evaluate him on one single play--yet I feel the fumble changed the outcome of the game. It should have been thrown away. I was disappointed in Orton's first half performance but the man brings game and I love that.
It's been a long time and we all have PTSD. I think we need to see how this plays out. My thread about SOS has been purged but a lot of good work went into that analysis. We have the upper hand on the Patriots if we can go into New England and beat them. Not an easy task but doable for this squad. We sit at 3 - 3 after having played the strongest part of our schedule. NE has a run of DEN, IND, DET, GB, SD followed by their three division games. Don't fret we very well could have witnessed Brady's swan song yesterday. It was quite a performance...like he took the team on his shoulders. That is not going to continue. We are still in it with a QB who can play but has faults. Orton needs to go on a tare and we can make a playoff run here!
GO BILLS!
