bflo83 Posted December 29, 2004 Share Posted December 29, 2004 While this season is far from over for the sake of perspective let's all take some time to recognize that this has been a hell of a year. For the most part every game this season has either been a close match or a blow out in our favor. Take away the last minute defensive breakdowns in the Jaguar and first Jets games along with the refs hosing us in Oakland and the boys have had a hell of a year. The only time the guys were out of it was in the Baltimore and Foxboro stinkers. Don't forget that the great Bills teams used to have a crap game or two each season - I remember some real bad experiences in KC and Pittsburgh for the Kelly teams. The thing is they came through this and became a team - like Drew says "there are no jerks in this locker room". Kudos to Mike Mularkey for keeping the team focused and staying with his plan - a lot of first year coaches would have caved to public opinion and not stayed the course. Thanks to his leadership and excellent work on offensive, defensive and special teams the Bills are back for real this time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ganesh Posted December 29, 2004 Share Posted December 29, 2004 The only time the guys were out of it was in the Baltimore and Foxboro stinkers. 184196[/snapback] Even the Baltimore game we had a sack/fumble recovery on the 1st offensive play of the game deep in Baltimore territory and we couldn't covert it to a TD. Then Fletcher made that bonehead play that resulted in a TD instead of a punt. Then in the 4th qtr, we got into their redzone 4 times and came back empty handed.....

I was just disgusted to see Neon Deion return one for a score earlier in the game. Thinking about Fletch's roughing the passer - he had a couple of penalties like that (kicking the ball/delay of game/personal foul type things) earlier in the year. It's good to see that is a thing of the past. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
