Buffalo Boy's Blog

I know I haven't been throwing fluffy, happy adjectives the Bills way this season and for good reason, however, they are not out of it after a win today.

Last season they won 5 of their first 6 and missed the playoffs, why can't the reverse be true this year essentially? Nevermind the 318 rushing yards against or the 6 interceptions the defense came up with which tied a Bills record, the following happened today that hasn't happened in a long time:

1. They won on the road.

2. They beat an AFC East team, one that was in a tie for first place at the start of the day BTW.

3. They came from behind to win.

4. They won with their backup quarterback.

5. They won a close game in OT.

When was the last time any of those things happened at all, nevermind in one game? It was a possible confidence booster for a team with a fragile ego right now and puts them just one game behnd the Jets in the standings.

Im not ready to put them in the playoffs, but a win today gives diehards a reason A) watch and B) go to the games.

For all of you who are already yelling for Fitzpatrick to start next week, he had a quarterback rating of 51 and was 10 of 25. Not exactly stellar but good enough to win. Not good enough at least for me to take Edwards out if hes healthy. If hes not healthy next week then Fitzpatrick maybe could make a statement and convince to let him keep going.
