In today's NFL, it doesn't get much worse than being employed by one of the NFL's worst organizations (regarding wins/losses). The 2-9 Bills released once-thought-to-be-franchise QB Trent Edwards, in addition to losing Marshawn Lynch to the Seattle Seahawks in the early part of the season. Undoubtedly, the 0-5 start for the Buffalo Bills has been rough. I feel for this city, who genuinely loves their football team. Recent developments of a new stadium being built in Los Angeles, California have ignited talks that the Bills might be one of the teams in contention for relocation. But this is a mute point. The love for the Bills in Buffalo is so adamant that the idea of them moving is next to impossible. If only to travel to Buffalo and witness/experience the passion that this chilly New York town has for a team that is notoriously known in recent years for being under .500, would be a genuine experience.
Center: Ryan Fitzpatrick. I can't find his jersey online anywhere.
A graduate of Harvard and young-journeyman back-up QB to the likes of Carson Palmer, Trent Edwards - Fitzpatrick epitomizes admiring qualities. Some highlights, that I find most notable:
Great beard.
Married to a former Harvard soccer player (team captain Liza Barber). (2 sons).
Rumored to have completed the Wonderlic Test (NFL common-sense-exam)
in 9 minutes. Only missed one. 49/50. How about that, Vince Young?
He's doing an admirable job QBing a team that constantly plays hard to win. They've taken numerous opponents (Ravens, Steelers caliber) to OT.
The Bills aren't a program in need of rebuilding. Some secondary assistance and beefing-up the O-line will always prove beneficial to a struggling, young team. But - continue to groom Fitz, let Chan Gailey stay, and C.J. Spiller will become a preeminent back. Let's go Bills.
God Bless & God Speed.
