That's More Like It

So, now that the Bills are good again (supposedly), I had the great pleasure of spending my afternoon with them.  Yes, for the 3rd time this year, I was able to watch them play.  Things were great earlier this year when I got to watch them beat the Eagles and Redskins.  Today, though, was like a flashback to all the disappointing losses of days gone by.

In case you had other things to do today, here's what you missed:

• Unbridled optimism all morning as kick-off draws near: Check.
• A sense of togetherness as the CBS coverage began and they show all the other faithful lemmings at Ralph T. Wilson Stadium who are just as excited as me: Check.
• Poor execution by the offense right out of the gate: Check.
• Untimely turnovers: Check.
• A defense that couldn't get off the field in the first half: Check.
• A deceptively close half-time score that, despite how bad things look, gave the Bills faithful hope: Check.
• An opponent that pulled away in the third quarter: Check.
• A brief early fourth quarter run that made you think that a remarkable comeback may be in store: Check.
• A meaningless garbage time Bills touchdown after the game was well out of hand: Check.
• A virtually empty stadium with two minutes left: Check.
• Misery and disappointment at the final whistle: Check.
• A full week of "what could have been" wondering to look forward to: Check.

So, Bills fans -- does that all sound familiar?  In any event, I know I'll be right back here next week provided I'm (un)lucky enough to get the game on TV again.
