I've been trying to decide if I should be more worried about Buffalo considering their performance yesterday and I decided that no, I shouldn't be.
I present to you this:
Since the Bye week last year, we are 7-8. That number isn't to impressive but it reflects what many of us feel the Bills are- and that is a .500 team. But consider this in those 11 games we were competitive in, or won 8 games. 4 of those games were against playoff teams. I think that's pretty impressive for a team which was basically torn down when Chix came on board only a few months earlier. Fast forward to this year. We've continue building upon last years momentum and got off to a 3-1 start. So we laid an egg against the Bengals-- we did that last year when we played Minny. That game should not have been the blow out that it was- but hey things happen. At the very least, last year proves that we could play with the big boys, because we did it on more than 1 occasion (disclaimer- the last 2 games were terrible, but we were decimated by injuries at that point).
This year, We've had a solid off season. We've also proved that we can play with the big boys (Raiders) and big girls (Brady). Sure we've got some issues, but we're not that bad. So let's move on. I don't remember too much of the early 90's bills, but I know they played craptastic games way back then, too.
At the end of the day, we are a talented that still needs one more off season to make a serious push for deep playoffs. We're not going to revert to the 2008 Bills. I think our performance at the end of last year and this year proved that. Thoughts?
GO BILLS!
