Many have written off the season as lost, Well look at things this way.. This squad should be 4-4 after our Final game with the Jets.
This team is a pass rush and a healthy Secondary away from being 4-0 instead of 0-4. As bad as the Offense and Defense has been through the first 4 games, this team is close to being successful and beginning to Jell as a unit.
In the last 2 games this team has played at a higher level of intensity than the unit last year that was in many cases not even competitive, especially during that stretch when the "O" couldn't score at all.. Moulds was injured and playing as was Travis so the Run and Pass was somewhat limited.
Last year the defense was ranked high but I had no confidence in it's ability to either shut down any unit in the AFC-E, or change the momentum by causing a turnover or INT. This unit this year has shown the ability to create the Big Turnover, even though at times they have given up the Big play or lacked the ability to Finish the game with killer instincts.
The Offense Last season at times Just looked clueless as how to stretch the field or take the deep downfield shots that play towards Bledsoe's strength. The Head Coach said this O-Line would be a work in progress and would probably take a month to learn to play together as a unit.. He also said that this team would stay with the Bump and Grind it out run game that Gilbride seemed to forget about last year, and he has, so much that even the owner seems to be getting tired of seeing Henry disappear into Jennings Rear End.. We asked to grind it out and that is what we are getting.
I haven't seen Evans slow up on any of those Bombs from Bledsoe and Moulds looks to be back in Pro Bowl form. If Reed can become a PLAYER in this system and the Line can hold up, Look for Moulds to have a Big year.
First things first, we have to get that first illusve win and that should come this following week against the Phins, who might be without Both QB's, Minus the Placekicker Mare as well as missing Two of their starting Defensive down linemen, There is no excuse for this team losing to a team that is that depleted.
That first win will be the key to this teams showing some heart and pride and proving that we are better than an O-for Team. Alot of these guys have alot at stake and do have some pride.
The Line may come around yet and Bledsoe seems to be gaining confidence everytime he releases one of those Deep Balls, Which is still one of the prettiest spirals in the League from the point it is released, It will be key for the Line to stay Healthy.
And can I say that BIG MIKE WILLIAMS may have played his best game as an NFL started by dominating a Former Pro Bowler and excellent pass rusher in Ellis.. Williams will be key to this Line being respectable.
The Only problems I see with the "D" is a Lack of a Rush from Schobel and our banged up secondary, minus these two problems and this Team is a Contender in the AFC-E, but at 0-4 It's all about getting that first Win. Fletcher with 21 tackles, If he plays like that every week Spikes may have to move over on that flight to Hawaii.
Look for this team to Have a good week of Practice and show it is hungry against Miami and notch it's first win this week.. Once we get #1, There is no reason that this team cant go 4-0 over the next Quarter of the season to be at 4-4 by mid-season. It will be cold and loud at the Ralph this weekend and the Bills will be up to the task.
Our next 4 games all could be won by this team playing up to it's potential and eliminating mistakes.
