PITTSFORD, N.Y. (AP) -Opening training camp with a belief the Buffalo Bills are finally on the right track, running back Fred Jackson won’t hold it against anyone for already dismissing the team as an also-ran.
At this point, that’s an argument Jackson understands he can’t win given Buffalo’s decade-long string of futility. It’s a stretch peppered with losing, turmoil and coaching changes, during which the Bills have gone 10 years without making the playoffs.
That doesn’t mean Jackson agrees with the projections, which rank the Bills among the NFL’s worst teams this season. It’s up to Jackson and his teammates if they intend to start changing the tenor of the conversation.
And that means earning respect the hard way by producing a winner.
