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.
