...the sky isn't falling, that was just your expectations being knocked back into reality.
So the Bills lost...and what? Were you expecting a 16-0 season with a rookie QB and a "fresh talent" offensive line? Just relax a little bit and stop switiching to opposite ends of the spectrum.
Reality is that this Bills team is young and penetrable. Reality is that this team is going to seem like it's bound for the Super Bowl one week, and bound for the toilet bowl the very next. Reality is that the Bills have a QB that will learn as he goes and that he is not some braniac prodigy that can just pick up the ball and illuminate his magic. Reality is that the OL is piece meal, and that one day they might "get it", while the next game they'll have know idea what "it" is. Reality is we'll have a defense that will get burned out quickly compensating for when the offense is horribly inept.
Reality is watching this YOUNG team reach a point of mediocrity (again), and buliding on that in future seasons.
No, that's not the sky Chicken Little. That's just 8-8 leaving a nasty lump on your head.
