For the third week in a row the Bills played a weird game, but this time they were the beneficiaries.

It’s such a great feeling to watch the Bills win. More importantly it’s a relief to not feel terrible in the days after another bad Bills loss. Especially when you’re considering the expectations the team had, those first two losses felt especially sour. Something else that made those first two losses feel a little worse than usual was the bizarre manner by which they came. It was by no means crazy that the Bills could lose to the Ravens and Jets, but it was pretty wild that they could only score 7 points in one game and give up almost 400 yards passing to Ryan Fitzpatrick in the other. They weren’t just losses, they were “what the hell is going on?” losses. In the same vein in which a bizarre loss can feel a tad bit worse than a loss of the more traditional fashion, a bizarre win can feel that much better. And boy was this a bizarre win.

The Bills offseason has been a comedy of dysfunction, errors and plain bad luck. Since Rex Ryan declared that his team “won the offseason” the football gods have seemed determined to render that statement false, even if it was kind of silly in the first place. The team and it’s fan base has taken a beating, once again leading to low expectations and the belief in some circles that this season may already be shot. It’s pretty hard to not feel this way. From top draft pick Shaq Lawson needing surgery shortly after Doug Whaley said he wouldn’t, to the hiring of Rob Ryan after he led the Saints defense to one of the worst defensive seasons of all time in a move of seemingly blatant nepotism, to reports of LeSean McCoy fighting a cop, to the litany of suspensions and training camp injuries, it’s been a chaotic offseason from hell.

But how much does it matter? Continue reading

“Fool me once, shame on – shame on you.  Fool me – you can’t get fooled again.” –  Former President George W. Bush

It isn’t easy to trust someone who has betrayed you in the past. Sometimes – most of the time, probably – it isn’t wise either.  However, redemption makes for some of the best stories, broken bones can mend and become stronger than before, and you can’t have a heroic comeback without an ugly struggle beforehand. These satisfying, full-circle tales don’t come to fruition nearly as often in football as they do in movies or television, but it does happen – just not often enough to count on.
