What…a…week. Bills Chick’s life has been crazy. Buffalo Bills world is crazy. The NFL itself is pretty crazy lately. So, let’s play a quick game of catch-up so that we can finally get back on track.

Sunday’s 41-17 spectacle against the Titans was eerily, painfully and distressingly reminiscent of the Music City Miracle game (which, by the way, CBS made sure to show a clip of during the game. Thanks…). Not only was the number of times we went three-and-out epically embarrassing, but our defense even seemed to struggle and the fourth quarter…well, we’ll get into that later.

How about a quick “Hit it and Quit it!”

Hit it! Fred Jackson. I’ve loved you from Week 1 and I still love you in Week 10 (well, now 11). Given the way this season’s played out, that says a lot about you! I have a proposition for you: How would you like to step in as QB? Clearly, you can actually get the ball into the endzone (a 27-yard pass=not too shabby) and you know how to utilize Lee’s talent. And, you’re obv a beastly runner so when nobody’s open you can just take off. The other team would be totally confused and never know what was going on. Think about it…

Quit it! Trent Edwards. I’m sorry, but we’re over. And it’s not me…it’s you. You had a few good passes to Terrell but you had a horrendous meltdown that even got the biker I was arguing with over you, to jump on the Fitzpatrick wagon. This guy tried so hard to convince me that you deserved to start as QB but by the fourth quarter he was far less belligerent and 108 percent on my side. I give you a lot of credit for maintaining that tie score until the fourth…but don’t you know that the fourth quarter is not the time to fall apart? You have to connect with receivers and you have to finish the game. Throwing interceptions–well, that’s definitely a way to finish the game, but not exactly the right way. I know that Fitzpatrick contributed his interception too, but he’d been sitting on the sidelines the whole game…he needed to get warmed up and three minutes to go isn’t enough time to do that. He shall be forgiven.

Quit it! Run D. Where were you? Surprisingly, the offense actually showed up to Sunday’s game but you guys didn’t seem to make it. That’s really unlike you…is everything ok? I know Chris Johnson is GOOD, but is he really 168ish yards good? I think not. You guys let me down. Please don’t let it happen again, you’re all I have!

Hit it! Jairus Byrd. Another interception?! This calls for…“Everybody’s heard, about the bird! Bird bird bird, the bird is the word! Everybody’s heard about the bird! Bird bird bird, the bird is the word! Don’t you know about the bird? Well everybody’s heard about the bird! Bird bird bird, bird is the word!” Those of you who have no idea what I’m talking about, check out this video of Family Guy’s Peter Griffin being classic and perfect.

Before I leave you, let’s just talk about the fourth quarter…for a second…real quick. I’ll start out with the question that’s been on my mind all week: How do you go from being tied at 17-17 going into the fourth quarter, to losing 41-17? Ok, I know how it happens so I guess the follow-up would be: Why?! It all comes down to finishing a game, which is something the Bills cannot seem to grasp and I don’t understand why. The players are so passionate and optimistic…you’d think that it would be simple to channel that into their actual game play. Seriously though, the fourth quarter was so bad that:

-I had random people hugging me at the bar because they felt bad for me.

-My entire vocabulary was reduced to “Really?!!!”

-I became best friends with a female Dallas fan who was just as distraught as myself.

-Strangers were urging my friends to get me another beer.

-All the guys in the bar were impressed with my devotion to football.

There was one success though: I managed to hold back tears. That means that so far this season, I have not cried once over the Bills. AMAZING progress!!! I think it’s a sign that I’m at a turning point–I just might be able to call myself a hardened fan like my Daddy.

GO BILLS!!!
