Bills need attitude, not sympathy

by LARRY FELSER

It's thoughtful for NFL headquarters to send a sympathy card, but receiving one doesn't compensate for a three-point loss on the road in Oakland when the Buffalo Bills are fighting for self-respect. The failure to award a safety to the Bills' defense when the rules clearly called for it? That's a potential game-turning play. The Raiders would have had to kick or punt from their own 20-yard line, providing favorable field position.
