So where do we go from here? I will watch again and look for more specifics, but it will be the same old story. I am in some way relieved. Funny to even hear myself say that but after the last month only a mother would still believe. We haven’t been consistent in anything but inconsistency. Fifty-yard runs followed by three-yard losses. That probably is the most frustrating thing to watch. While watching the Beast roll I went through all the stages of grief waiting for him to score as he went down short of pay dirt. Too many times the Bills looked like a team that doesn’t know how to win, doesn’t know how to finish, finish drives let alone games. Players made plays to be sure, so I don’t fault them as much as I am starting to question the coaches. I am beginning to doubt that Jauron and company could take either team and beat the other one on a consistent basis. You know the old saying: he is one of those coaches that could take a his’n and beat a your’n and he could also take a your’n and beat a his’n. Maybe he is too cerebral, may be he is too nice, maybe he don’t cheat, all I know is he ain’t winnin’. I love my Bills and think DJ is a fine man, hell he shook my hand at the door to his office, but I am beginning to feel that he is that cheetah with spots that won’t change.
I hate the thought of starting over. Can we bring in a new regime and turn things around in one year like the Tuna in Miami, and what is going on in Atlanta? Things I think are: Cali boys don’t need to be quarterbacks in Buffalo. Too cold, for one thing. We need to draft some defensive ends; they are not getting around the corner fast enough. We need at least one linebacker with some size. We need a stud upfront to help in the rotation. Give me a young, hungry Haynesworth. We need an improvement at tight end to say the least, and we need a lock-down, shut-down, ball-hawking corner. And maybe an offensive line with some ‘tude. I want old school football: knock people off of the ball, take the ball away when you don’t have it, and postseason play. Not much you see, can you get all that on one sleigh?
