If the Bills were a super hero, which one would they be...

We are a terrible team right now and yet this season hinges on two out of three games. Despite being as bad as we are we could easily have take 2 wins out of the following three games and be in the thick of it:

 

Miami @ Miami: 16-7 lead in the third quarter. A stretch/fumble by Trent for a first down on third and an interception in our own end doomed us. We play with a lead and hold it, it's in the bag.

 

Cleveland: The opposing kicker hits a 56 yarder on a 30 degree night and we miss a 47 yarder, are you kidding me? We won't get in the 3 1st quarter ints.

 

San Fran at home: Lindell misses two field goals (I still can't even talk about the first one), the opposing guy hits a 50 yarder on a fumble at the end of the half. In a terrible game a nine point swing would have been huge.

 

The irony is that the difference between a bad team and one that finds ways to win is about 5 plays in this whole season. It's a scary thought that for as bad as we are, we'd be in it in the AFC West and certainly parts of the NFC.

 

The moral of this story is that Luck Favors the Prepared. We are clearly not prepared to be a good team no matter how badly the team or Bills Nation wants it; you can practically feel the weight of that desire in the way we play, especially with a lead. I look forward to the day when our DESIRE to be a good team is equaled by our ability TO BE a good team.

It actually looked like we might finally BE that team this year. We were actually finding ways to win games when we weren't playing all that well and were behind in the 4th quarter. Boy, did THAT mirage evaporate in a hurry.
