Great post Faustus! I agree a lot with what you had to say.
1. The FG - they tried it at the most appropriate time and condition. As CTM said, punting would have been worthless, and if its go for it or try a fake, why not fake it. At the very least, it makes other teams think we MAY do it in the future. Yah it failed, but thats why when fakes work they look awesome; theres such a big chance of not succeeding, and it takes balls to call them.
2. I agree on the mistakes too. The mistakes of Willis, JP, and the Defense cost the game. But, i too see them as mistakes of inexperience, not of stupidity. JP will learn to feel the rush. Willis needs to learn to block better. , etc.
I too am excited in the direction we're going. Sure we lost, but i'd be lying if i said this wasnt what i expected. I figured the bills would play good some weeks, and make you want to rip your hair out in others. They are making mistakes of inexperience, but ya know what, they are making good plays as well. I'm really looking forward to this team growing together and getting better. Unlike the past few years, this team has a definite direction and i am happy.
