Bills fan pattern,


Bob in STL

Recommended Posts

This year, just like the past few years, this team will lose faith in Trent Edwards and he will lose the team and get benched. Fitz will be the next to play and Fitz will do his very best given his limited tools and skills. Fitz will eventually get dinged up and Brohm will come in and look lost. Fitz will return. The season will end and we will be 3-13.

 

Free Agency will start and everyone will dream of signing a big time free agent OT, or an impact player for the DL, or a high quality LB but instead we won't sign Jack Diddly Squat. We will probably lose one or two of the few decent players we have to free agency and create even more holes than we currently have (if that is even possible). We will then realize that we cannot draft enough good players to fill all the holes but we will be hopeful.

 

The draft will be next and everyone will dream of drafting a QB and a LT in the first two rounds. We will debate on which QB and which tackle to take. We will even fight about adding a pass rusher instead. Mock drafts will be made and we will be selecting players in round 5 that will certainly be gone by round 2 or 3. Of course, once the real draft comes we will not have enough high draft picks to fill all the needs at QB, LT, RT, ILB, OLB, DL, WR and TE.

 

We will then try to convince ourselves that minor free agency signings like Cornell Green (see Jonathan Scott, Kirk Chambers, Melvin Fowler, Trey Teague, Mike Gandy, Bennie Anderson, et. al.) will help us anyway.

 

We will dream that some obscure 5th round draft choice will actually be the next Daryl Talley or Andre Reed, and that will happen instantly. We will cling to every move made in camp and in pre-season. We will worry about who gets cut and which UDFA makes the practice squad.

 

All the while we will be thinking we are just 2 or 3 years away from a playoff team.

 

That is the life of a Buffalo Bills fan for far too long now. (Wash, Rinse, Repeat)
