More positives than negatives yesterday, but moral victories don't count

[Judge]

From an objective standpoint, the Bills did alot of things very well that bode well for the future yesterday-

- establishing the running game and Travis Henry. Mistake not to commit to him in the red zone, but I never saw him run better for an extended stretch in a game than he did yesterday. O-Line manhandled a bad Chiefs D, but still dominated. Future benefits are immense- a strong balance for the Drew Crew show!

- D played hard-hitting, smashmouth football againsta tough offense. They wilted in the end, but played well enough for 3 1/2 quarters to allow the offense enough to win the game.

- Another strong road effort. Winning teams win on the road. This team is well-prepared to handle adversity of road conditions.

The mistakes were killer, but the Bills did play pretty darn well in a road game, and should have won. Close doesn't count, of course, but here's hoping the Bills' players realize just how close they are to breaking into an elite team - they've only been manhandled once this season, and this loss that should have been a win could be a huge motivator.

It all came down to lack of discipline and poor play-calling yesterday. But I agree...there were some positives.

It seems to me that "certain people in charge" are getting caught up in the "shootout hype".

You guys are all right. Maybe GW needs to hire a discipline coach. No, I've never heard of such a thing, but he's got to do something to get the point across. THEY CAN'T TAKE STUPID PENALTIES!

That's just it. GW was supposed to be a "discipline coach" Apparently those don't work.
