Yeah this loss might be tough to swallow for now, but the reality was from the beginning of the season, the Bills weren't going to make the playoffs. This was a rebuilding year. Testing to see who was good on our team and to see who were the players that would not help this team in the future.
There were many positives I see this year even though we didn't make the playoffs again. Jp has finally come around at the last possible second and proved many people, like me, wrong that he's the Qb of the future. He making better decisions with his passes and he beginning to mold into a great QB. Another postive was that the offensive line has improved, especially during the later part in the season. Terrence Pennington has improved and shows that even a rookie can play well on this offensive line. Jason Peters has shown us that the he can play any position on the offensive line. The defense should also be given credit. Clements has shown that he must be resigned by the Bills. Whitner and Simpson have showed us the rookies are sometimes better at their positions than veteran players. Finally the coaching staff should be given a lot of credit including Marv Levy. Bobby April is an unbelievable coach. I'm seeing a huge raise for him and a major contract extension. Also, Jauron has turn this team around and has given the fans of Buffalo something to look forward to next year. He's shown that the Bills are contenders for the playoffs and we will be a playoff team next year.
Questions the offseason:
McGahee - What will happen to him in the offseason? Will he be traded for a draft pick or lineman?
Clements - Easy. Will he be resigned?
Defensive line - Mainly at defensive tackle. We need another Sam Adams or Pat Williams there.
Offensive line - Two things I see. Will Gandy finally be released even though he got a contact extension? Will the Bills get a RG to help out Villarial? He's get old and getting injured WAY TOO OFTEN.
The future looks bright for this team finally. Just keep BILLieving.
