Yes. It was a very important bounce back win from a very tough loss. Yeah, not long ago, the Bills would have imploded. Instead, they did what good teams do. Dust off, take notes and move on.
I can't stand seeing tip jars at drive thru's ! When I was a server, I ran my butt off for hours and I went through a lot of shoes...earn your damn tips!
Rick Azar was young and baby faced...I remember Sunday was special. Every Sunday had a holiday feel to it. Times were good and the players were larger than life.
Yes...just a more fun and simple time. Much more anticipation and the unknowing every Sunday. There was always the newscasts, the Buffalo News and Courier Express.
This defense is the ultimate example of playing as a team. We all expected them to be good, but not this tight yet. It appears that they are evolving from week to week and finding out about themselves. Throw in a few more disruptive players and we have something really special here...elite!
I believe that leadership is in his dna. His recent ascent from the practice squad reinforces it. Even if he were not to become a pro bowl calibre player, his work ethic and drive are still inspiring enough.
Williams hard work exemplifies what McDermott is trying to teach. He is the perfect person/player in this system. When you get enough guys following this model, whether they are stars or marginal players it becomes contagious and teams are born. Over time, this stuff sells itself.
I believe that he has matured already. As we know, some young men actually benefit later from hardship and mistakes. At this point, Williams has redeemed himself well. These are also good leadership qualities.
