I’m not a football expert. I just love my team, including through the last 7 years of pain.

The Buffalo game felt so different, because I was so nervous. No longer just wondering how much we’d lose by or looking for signs of progress despite the loss. Suddenly there was that knot in my stomach fuelled by…hope.

Now, I don’t know how to feel.

  • Have we basically just left the trash ranks of the Patriots, Panthers etc but are still in the bad ranks like the Jets, Commanders etc.

  • Or are we at the start of a climb, so more like the Vikings, Browns, Bengals.

  • Or are we still trash and just got a bit lucky?

  • Or are we actually amazing?

I need some emotional grounding here, folks. What is this team?
