The OP's point is valid to me. I'd extend it beyond QB play to the entire team and season. Enough with the rollercoaster reactions after every win or loss. Doomed after a loss, playoff bound after a win. It's totally irrational and ridiculous. And tiresome.
Related to that, shouldn't we keep our expectations for this team realistic? Did you really, honestly, truly think this team was ready for primetime? Beyond that one game, why would anyone who is thinking clearly go into this season expecting playoffs? The Bills have been a habitual 6-10 team. Until they show us otherwise, I assume they'll finish right around 6-10. And that's okay with me because, well, being a fan is supposed to be fun overall.
Orton looks better than EJ - maybe that's good enough for a few more wins this season. Let's see where the team sits come late November before we **** our pants from either the joy or misery.
