This game versus Green Bay is going to make or break this season. Not in the playoff sense (playoffs are all but out of sight) but in the sense of consistency and overcoming adversity. They will also retain some of the fence riding fans. Here is what I think:
1. Green Bay is riding momentum into this game, JP and the Bills need to stifle it and win big. (30+ points by the 'O' and less than 15 given up by the 'D'). Stifling another teams momentum shows alot of hard work and "character" as Marv loves to put it.
2. JP needs to have a career game, if he plays horribly all of the talk about his "progression" will stop and I'm quite sure the coaching staff will give strong consideration to evaluating Nall at this point. O-line failing or not it will become inevitable to consider other options. I am a JP supporter and hope for him playing well.
3. The defense needs to show up, particularly the veterans who have played either horribly or very quietly the last 3 games. McGee is slowly guaranteeing his movement to nickel back or worse yet getting cut off season. Clements who has played decently this year needs to make some big stops or grab an INT. Fletcher needs to stop getting dragged by ball carriers, Spikes needs to make his presence felt and Schobel needs to have a big game to show that it can happen 2 games in a row.
4. Finally, this team needs to finish a victory. None of this play well early and finish lousy crap. (Minnesota and Miami) 4 solid quarters of football and preferably a victory that doesn't come down to the last play.
I'm a fan for life but in reality Pack 24 Bills 7, oh please let me be completely wrong.
