Screw you, Virg, on making complete and reasonable sense. ?
Of course, JK, brother.
I feel you...especially the apex of the feel being the 5-2 starts. Get me to 6-3 before I really start to believe, even though it is one more in each column. Too many memories of seeing 5-2, become 5-4 and then worse.
Look, I've been saying it for awhile and I think a guy on NFL radio agreed with me, even though I am generally unknown to everyone, everywhere other than for being extremely thin and good looking*. That is I believe the floor for this team is 8-8. I think if Josh Allen makes no improvement whatsoever over last year, they are 8-8.
After the debacle that was the first two games, if you remove the Patriots games (i know, I know, but just hang with me) this team was 6-6 and they were missing their rookie starting QB for 40% (1-3) of that time.
I think that if nothing tragic happens this team is 9-7 and their drive and coaching (intangibles at this time) could get them higher to 10-6.
However, I recently told a friend I'm feeling 11-5 in my bones.
Go Bills!
