Call it coaching, call it Bledsoe, call it not finishing a drive or game, I call it Buffalo Bills football. After somehow managing to be up 14-13 on the Jets with only a few minutes left in the game, I was never excited. Sure it was good to see the Bills actually put the ball in the endzone, but I knew what was going to happen. It boils down to one Lombardi quote...
Winning is a habbit...so is losing.
Winning teams find ways to win, and losing teams find ways to lose. The defense crumbling on the final drive on opening day. Coming short against Oakland. The offense choking on the last, critical drive against the Patriots of course after the idiotic offsides on the pat's field goal attempt which cost us 4 points (not to mention special teams penalties which cost us over 100 yards). Losing is inherent in Buffalo Bills football. Missed opportunities, mental lapses, half-assed efforts, and just plain chokin; all have become accustomed into this organization. Before last season and yes, even this season, my emotions over-took me and I believed we had a shot at at least winning season. Well, I sit here today being as bitter and as frustrated as ever. I wake up every Sunday of the season to watch the Bills game. I go to bed almost every Sunday of the season dissappointed.
How many times the Bills choke in critical situations is almost comical. I expect Bledsoe to get sacked everytime he drops back. I expect Travis Henry to slip in the backfield and miss the wide open hole for the first down on third and short in the fourth quarter. I expect the Jaguars to convert on 4th and 12 and score a touchdown on the last play of the game. After all, this is Buffalo Bills football baby!!!
I don't know where it would start to turn this organization around. Donahoe has never addressed our offensive line problem. Donahoe has brough in a head coach with zero experience at the position and who's history is not that impressive. Maybe a change in GM's would do the job. Maybe Mularkey just has to mature, after all it is his rookie season. Maybe we will bring in some respectable offensive linemen. Maybe Losman and McGahee will be our saviors next season.....wait a minute, there's my optimism again. I have to remember none of those things will happen. Why do I know that?
BECAUSE THIS IS BUFFALO BILLS FOOTBALL
