Exactly! We're so conditioned to know what it feels like when that little crack of an opening just snowballs into yards, points and wins for the other team. I sent Beerball a PM back during the Carolina game toward the end, something to the effect of, "oh man, I can already see the score in the end...they're going to win by 2". But EJ proved me wrong and we obviously had a great outcome. Today was much the same, except obviously the Jets had a whole lot more distance to cover than the Panthers did. But like you said, we snuffed it out, EJ kept his cool and make plays, and we took care of business. This is a feeling I could get used to!
This is a point that is lost on many of our fellow Bills fans, IMO. Obviously the coaches have given EJ the "ball security directive" as his top priority. The net effect of this is going to be a young QB who is, at least for a while, going to be a little more tentative and even apprehensive, less willing to take risks, etc. He's having to allocate a LOT of his brain power and focus to not turning the ball over. But as EJ becomes more and more comfortable, he'll be able to focus less intensely on ball security and more on opening up his game and hitting a few more tight windows. This is a big reason why passing judgement on the kid or being overly critical of his deficiencies early on is pointless. The various aspects of his game will grow at different rates, but if they continue to be smart about how he's groomed, there is a chance we'll have quite a weapon behind center in a year or two.
