I hope everyone out there had a fantastic holiday. It sucks when you get old now because all you want is straight up cash homie (Randy Moss catch phrase). I cant remember the last time I opened up an actual gift. Usually, my parents are like you want gifts or money? To quote the Million Dollar Man, everyone has a price!! hahahahahahahahahha (Ted DiBiase laugh).
Anyways, with the year coming to an end, I thought it would be fun for the writers on this site to post their favorite story for the year. Here's mine....A one game-winning streak.
What if the Bills won only one game this year?
Yes, besides draft experts and some in the football world who don't understand it's not about where you pick, but who you pick (See: Pats, Ravens and Steelers), would shout with joy because we would win the Andrew Luck sweepstakes, what team would you like the Bills to beat?
It has got to be the Pats, right?
For an entire decade, the Pats owned us like we were a used whore. It seemed like every year, we would come so close to beat those guys and by the miracles of Bradymas, they would pull a victory out of their asses. Of course, the season would then end with the Pats crushing us and making us realize that we aren't close to their level.
However, for one Sunday this year, we were.
During the last 12 years or so, besides the opening day game against the Pats in 2003, there haven't been many epic victories for this team. We came close a few times against the Pats, Colts and the Cowboys in 2007. However, for the most part, it has been a bunch of meaningless wins against the Browns, Jags, Chad Pennington, Nick Saban, and any Jake Dehlomme or John Beck Quarterback led team. Did those wins feel special? Not really. Didn't Jauron have like 2 wins against teams with a .500 or better record? If you can't beat decent teams and you are constantly out of the playoff picture by December, when you get wins, they just tend to feel empty. I couldn't tell you how I felt when the Bills beat Miami last year. I was probably indifferent about it.
