In my opinion, it has been years since 3rd down and longs and redzone attempts have been greeted with confidence. The concern of converting 3rd downs and redzone touchdowns became such an afterthought in the ineptitude of the lost decade, that it materialized into an expectation (the norm) and no longer a flaw. We became used to Moorman coming out after 2 stuffed run attempts while looking down what seemed to be the impossibility of 3rd and 9. I was very pessimistic in the parking lot before going into yesterday's game (as I'm sure a majority of Buffalo fans were and will be until week 17), but I walked away from this game as confident as any this year. What rose above the obvious defensive deficiencies and the awfully timed underthrows by Fitz, was the consistent drives and completion of drives via 6 from the offense. We might be missing a few cogs on the defensive side of the ball, but the offensive playcalling and execution is reason to believe this season will be different from the years prior.
