Okay so the preformance against the Jets was terrible. The Bills were lucky not to give up 50 points. If I were smarter or less of a fan I would have left the game earlier than midway through the last quarter. I had hoped that Brohm would have gotten off the bench with the game well out of hand. But we will all have to wait. Don't get me wrong I admire Fitz and hope he does well. The Bills know what Fitz brings to the field. As I have stated before his arm is not the strongest and he does not have the best touch. Before much longer the coaches have to take a look at Brohm to determine if has a future role with the team. This might happen sooner than the coaches might like as Fitz runs with reckless abandon.
Speaking of runners I wish Lynch the best. No matter how you view him, the better he does now the better the compensation for the Bills. If only his maturity as a person was on par with his talent he would still be with the team. That being said, I for one welcome the increased role for Fred Jackson and to a lesser extent C.J. Spiller. Fred is the best all around back the team has had in years. Hopefully Spiller will take advantage of his increased touches and learn a more patient running style from working with Jackson.
The game against the Jags is important on so many levels. The Bills need a win to retain the fan base. The game is blacked out for the first time in years. A beautiful fall day is in store for Sunday. Fans will find/ have better things to do than go to the Ralph. A win before the bye would give the team confidence going forward. At this point I am uncertain that a win will encourage fans to attend future home games.
Bills fans know that to win you must run the ball and stop the run. The D needs to find a way to get off the field on 3rd downs. The O needs to find a way to convert 3rd downs into 1st downs. So far the team has been way below average in both instances. As usual the team will be without key starters and back ups on defense. On the bright side the Jags have a poor track record on the road. This game represents the Bills best chance to get a win this season. If not now, then when? Just a hunch but the Bills are backed into a corner. Sunday will be an upset.
