Goodness. So much to work with here.
In no particular order.
"executed Jauron ball well enough" - I heard all Jauron Ball bad. Perhaps a poor depiction?
"they got the necessary bounces/breaks" - all successful teams are fortunate recipients of this
"SURVIVED" - isn't this what it's all about?
"9-7" - what? are you ashamed of this record?
"they had only won 3 of 9 games" - this was divisional (ie. see Cincy @ Bmore which team was playing for what exactly and where? And with coach doing a dead man walking.)
"played like a preseason game" - Perhaps the offense. The D? They played fast and hard.
"too close" - deficit be damned. no style points for larger margins.
"I'm thrilled they made it" - look, I'm quite certain you're pleased we're going - but........it doesn't quite fit your bashing narrative you've been spewing thereby making you Wr Wr Wr Wr ....WRONG! (See Arthur Fonzerelli - aaaayyyyy ) in your assessment of how things we're handled by this rather fine regime. This can't possibly sit well with you.
......"Making the playoffs"..... via tie breaker - I suppose we should refuse to show in Jville? I mean, we didn't earn it, right??
"paramount importance to get the drought over" - ya think?!?! Film at 11:00 Here's a nugget very few knew.
"McD getting to year 3" - said it before, bears repeating.....McDermott sees FULL 5 YEAR TERM!!
Look - I'm glad you finally came around.
Happy New Year! All the best!
Go Bills!!!
