In May of last year, when I paid the $3,500 for all eight Toronto games, I was at least hopeful that one of them would be meaningful - and sometime soon. For 2010, I'm predicting another partial refund like we had this year and I know that we will have to wait at least that long for a December game at the Rogers Centre which has playoff implications for the Bills. They will be well out of contention by the time Jets roll into town. The Jets look like they might have something to play for so that will create some sense of relevance for the game but it will be another quiet and disengaged gathering on that Thursday evening.
After the New England game, I thought that they might finally be a good team - one capable of at least playing a meaningful game in the month of December - let alone one which could make the playoffs or earn a home playoff game or a first round bye. I don't think that wanting your team to still be in the hunt for the playoffs in the last month of the season is really being unreasonable. It's now been 5 years since we've had that - when the Steelers 3rd stringers stopped our late season drive for the last wildcard spot in the 2004 season under Mike Mularkey. Does it seem like longer than that?
When Miami made it 31 - 3, I went for a bike ride and saw no more of the game. I had seen enough. Injured, young, not enough talent - the offensive line is a huge problem, among many.
Will Dick be gone if they lose to Cleveland? No. Ralph is paying him $3 million this year - whether he lasts the year or not.
