I hope the Bills aren't making the same mistake as the local media in totally underestimating the Jets. I've seen bits and pieces of the Jets game this year, and they're not awful. They're a team that was expected to be terrible, and kinda surprised people a bit when they played two competitive games, one of which was a loss to the Patriots. Yeah, that sounds familiar, doesn't it?
The local sports scene, however, seems to be of two minds on the subject: Bills lose, "When is it going to get better?" Bills win: "We can make the playoffs!" If WGR and broadcast reporters had a superpower for expecations, it would be lightning-fast mood swings.
The Bills looked better than I thought they would in the past two games, but there were a couple moments when I cringed. I hope they beat the Jets, they have the tools to beat the Jets, but they haven't beaten the Jets yet. Nor have they beaten the Vikings next week. They're not 3-1 yet, folks.
