The Bills are competing with heart and guts and a never say die attitude that as propelled them into a battle for a play-off spot at the mid-season. This is more than I expected and I’m grateful for an exciting season so far. However, this kind of effort was not enough for a more talented team like the jets who, unlike the *Pats, have no real weakness on defense. There were no real miss-matches for Fitz to exploit. Our three legitimate playmakers, (Fitz, Stevie, and Jackson) were over powered by the Jets' very good/great defense.
The Jets coming off a bye week looked like we did last week when we came off a bye and destroyed Washington. The Jets players looked rested – energized and well coached.
Injuries have taken a toll on our team, which we were all saying in the preseason, lacks depth.
It is my hope that we will be in the playoff hunt right up to the end – which means we have to beat the *Pats in week 17. We match up well against the *Pats so who knows. 10 - 6 is a real possibility - if we get healthy
To make the Bills better next year:
Draft the best Corner, WR or DE whichever position has the best player available for us in the first round.
Second round Corner or WR
Third – LB
Rest of the Draft is best player available
Free agency – sign a true #2 WR and the best LB out there.
This team is closer to a legit playoff team I thought possible after going 4-12
The future is looking bright.
