I, like most everyone here yesterday, felt frustrated beyond belief.. after watching the bills march down the field and score, i was sure we would win.. then after watching mcgee trip at the 2 yard line right before the half.. i just had this awful feeling in my gut.. i knew it was over..
that being said.. i am over it.. and it is only 4 games into the season.. i want to point out a few things.. i am trying to be optimistic, because honestly, it really is draining to be filled up with such anger towards the state of the team, and that is how i have felt for about 3 weeks now..
i think there is still the possibility of the guys turning things around.. i know it does not feel like it at all.. but i really think it could happen.. lets take a look at some factors i think that help us..
1. at this point, we have won our only afc game.. we lost 3 games to three nfc teams.. that is a good thing.. we still have ALL of our game left against division foes, and all 3 of them look beatable to me..
2. mike williams will be back.. i know the interior of the line is not playing great, but getting big mike back will help.. on top of that, the line started off slow last year as well. remember travis henry on the goal line against the raiders? the line gelled and got their **** together after the first four games.. i have given mcnally some heat but honestly, he is a good coach.. once mike is back, i think we can pull the line together and play better.. we will play better and this is our main problem.
3. jp is only going to get better.. this has been stated ad nauseum (spelling?)but no body looks great to start off their careers except maybe brady and big ben.. palmer looked great by years end last year.. manning is looking great now, which is the equivelent of his mid season, since he didnt start till the middle of last season..
4. the defense will get it together.. this is a good unit.. they have been put in some tough spots.. but they will get it right.. crowell played excellent i thought in place of TKO. kelsay and schobel played well yesterday i thought. anderson was getting some pressure.. we just are not getting the turnovers right now, but we are still a +3 in the turnover catagory.. all is not lost.. dont lose faith in our guys.. the D can still bring it. i know they can.
5. roscoe parrish could be a nice spark when he comes in.. i cant wait to see him play.. i am hoping he helps on special teams and in the slot, although reed has been earning his paychecks this season.
6. wr talent - we have it.. it has not translated this season, but evans, moulds, reed is a strong trio.. they will improve.. they cant get worse as a whole right now. i was mad at moulds, but honestly, i cant blame him.. his time is running out.. he is obviously feeling like his career is coming to a close and he wont get that ring.. i can imagine that it feels pretty bad.. but he is still a good receiver (not a top wr by any means, but a leader and a good vet).
7. special teams.. the special teams is playing well, and almost had the game winning momentum play w/ mcgees return, which happened to be one of the best i have ever seen right up until he tripped.. they will come.. lindell missed a kick yesterday.. oh well.. he has played well all season.. kickers are going to miss kicks.. to blame him for the loss yesterday is just ridiculous.. people are pissed and looking for a scapegoat, which i understand.. but lindell is not the reason.
8. coaching cant get worse.. they did a good just last season.. they are not just total **** now.. they will get it right.. i think they were doing too much.. overthining things.. but i still have faith in the coaching staff.
9. willis has played well and will continue.. we just need to lean on him.. they will feed him the ball even more, starting this week.
10. the bills will improve because i said so.. it starts with miami this week.. we will still finish 10-6.. i still have faith.. it is easy to be a cynic.. i know because i have been one for years.. but i said to myself this year that i would be different.. and i am not going to let a few stupid losses against some very good teams and the saints kill my mood and excitement about the team.
