I wonder which week it will be before the talking heads writ large are going to accept that the Bills are the team to beat in a regular season game?
This has been and will be the narrative...
Against the Patriots it was can't exercise the Ghost of Tom Brady and Darth Vader still there. (W)
Against Seattle it was can't beat Russ. (W)
Against Cardinals it was can't stop Murray (last second L)
Against the Chargers it was too much rookie (W)
Against the 9ers, it's can't stop the run
Against the Steelers it will be can't beat that defense
Against the Patriots it will be can't beat them twice in a year
Against the Dolphins should beat them but Dolphins are stalking Bills
I fully expect them to roll the 9ers this week. Buffalo is coming. You can feel it. You can see it. The stats say it. The results speak to it. The spreads indicate it. The schedule is unrelenting. Yet talking heads are all focused on the other team. Rankings put them behind teams they have already vanquished.
To quote that cyclical December commercial. This will be a December to remember.
