So as I mentioned in my post on Sunday about the rise of the Buffalo Bills, there was a line I put in explaining how Bills fans are hopefully of a possible playoff berth. Well, the feeling is optomistic... a little too optomistic.
This evening the banter between the 10NBC anchors to sports director Robin DeWind was focused on Bills fans thinking that this team has a legit chance to go to the Super Bowl. While I have no problem with people thinking about their team going to the big game, I am a person who wants to think realistic and rationale about it. For instance fans of the Kansas City Royals should always feel realistic that their team might win 70 games tops (unless Tony Pena is the skipper). Those situations call for no hope, very real results.
In this case the Bills just wailed on a pitiful Seahawks team with not a lot going for them. Who actually plays for Seattle, especially at WR. This game had a lot of references to Seattle's jet lag coming into Orchard Park. When did travel become so much of a concern. Hockey teams have to do it in one day in the playoffs in the 2-2-1-1-1 system, but you never hear anyone complain. The Bills play another mediocre team, Jacksonville this Sunday. It will be a real guage to see how well they do, especially offensively because as Sal from the D&C was mentioning on WHAM's sportscast with Mike Catalana, Trent Edwards was far from spectacular. Granted he is still a drastic improvement from Jean Paul Losman, he needs to establish his game to make this Bills team credible in a strong AFC East. This is considering the Brady-less Pats and the Favre full Jets (who I still think won't win the conference).
Bills fans, I'm not saying this to flat out hate, but rather to suggest that you keep your mind open to the fact the Bills may not be it this year. Especially if Chad Pennington throws the way he did last week.
