I love optimism. Although as a born and bred Buffalo Bills fan I've had little, other than those four years in the early 90s which all ended in severe pessimism.
But we all need to calm down and enjoy our WEEK 1 win. We've been hear before (see '03 with win v. Pats and '06 with win v. Texans) and a strong week 1 win doesn't always lead to the playoffs. In fact, I can hardly remember the playoffs as a Bills fan (actually, I do, but I'm pretending not to).
So, I will enjoy this day with all of you. I will rejoice in Brady's knee being f-ed up. And I will praise our off-season pickups on defense, our new offense, and our typically dominant special teams. But I will also be very cautious (as a Bills fan I need to be) and not too cocky, and (as the cliche goes..) take one game at a time.
Is it too late to say Superbowl bound? Yes.
But it's not too late to say: The Bills are back, baby!
