Is it officially time to Billieve?

by Steve

The fifteen game L streak is over, the Bills have come back from back to back 18+ point deficits to win for the first time not only in their history but NFL written history, and the Bills have the most points in the league after three games. What the hell is going on?

At the game Sunday it seemed all morning that Buffalo was walking into certain death. No one seemed to care because it was beautiful out and the team would still be 2-1 with a winnable game next week against Cinci. Then the Patriots jumped up by 21 and it was about time to start wondering what the final score would be, 56-10 again? 70-3? More?

Then out of no where Tom Brandy threw a touchdown and the Bills were suddenly only down 21-10 with the ball at half. Who cares about the dumb 4th and 14th attempt or kicking a field goal at 4th and less than one. This team actually has an offense and could come back!!

But the general consensus was that the Bills still couldn't cover a tight end. How would they stop N.E.'s O enough to tie it? With 13:11 remaining the Patriots were about to go up by an insurmountable 14 points. From my end zone I could see George Wilson lined up across from Gronkowski and pointed this out to the two Corey's saying Brandy was going to throw it to him for a TD. And something amazing that in seven years of me being a season ticket holder had never happened. Someone from the Bills outsmarted #12. The Senator picked the pass off and completely swung the momentum for good.

From this point on I had near 100% faith who ever had the ball last was going to score. The Bills were not going to be stopped in tying the game or taking the lead. The only thing that mattered was whether the Cheatriots would have enough time left on the clock to go down the field and score. That's why I didn't even celebrate when Fred Jackson seemingly ran the ball into for the go ahead touchdown. There was nearly two minutes left and Belecheat and Co. had two timeouts.

The only question to my mind was who is going to win the OT coin flip and thus win. But instead the Bills actually got lucky. Jackson didn't score, idiot fat ass Vince Wilfork lost his cool and took a penalty (giving the Bills a first down and thus allowing us to run out the clock and kick the winning field goal) AND Lindell made a game winning kick.

Basically, it is officially time to believe the Bills are not the Dick Jauron lead Bills. They won't snatch defeat from the jaws of victory. The worst thing that can happen won't ALWAYS happen. Are we as Bills fans ready for this new mindset?

I'll test it out in Cincinnati Sunday, see you there. 4-0!
