I never thought I'd be hangin on to words coming out of a show called "cold Pizza"

At the end of last season I made the decision that going into TDs fourth year, I had no reason to lower my expectations for this team from my expectations from the 2003 squad (GWs last year). Going into that season I felt that 9-7 and a run for a playoff spot was the minimum that the Bills should achieve. That is the same goal that I thought the Bills should be able to achieve this year even with all the coaching changes.
I felt that the players were in place in GWs last year and that it was poor coaching that led to thier downfall. With a good coaching hire, I had no reason to lower my expectations just because they were new.
Well...the Bills have achieved that goal and may quite possible exceed it this weekend if things go the way we all want them to. In my book, this has been a successful season regardless what happens this weekend (even if we lose against Pitt).
My question is, does any of you think that anything more needs to happen to allow you to consider this a successful season?
Do we need to win Sunday? Do we need to make the playoffs? Do we need to win a playoff game?
Regardless of what happens this weekend, I will be ecstatic going into next year. Of course, I may be ecstatic after this weekend but I won't be too upset if they don't make it. The WAY they will have achieved thier winning record, bodes well for the future.
We have to do something this year. The streak and momentum will be gone next year and regardless of who we draft or pickup they can't replace "old Mo".
Comeback seasons like this happen once in a great while. Anybody that says wait til next year doesn't remember the 85 Bears.

Actually, he is not an idiot at all. He picks the Jets and Denver to win in close games. So his prediction is--say--that the chances of the Jets and Denver each winning is 60%. That being the case, multiplying those probabilites together, he believes it is 36% likely that BOTH the Jets and Broncos will win, or that there is a 64% chance the Bills will get the help they need.
Myself, I think the Jets have about a 60% chance of winning, and the Broncos 70%. That means there is a 42% chance that both will win, or a 58% chance to get the help they need...CD
Somehow I feel the general concept. Seeing the numbers displayed is encouraging. I skipped almost every statistics and probability class I registered for. Thanks.

Playin with Big Mo is like playin with fire. If it goes out your screwed. Hey not bad I just made that up.

I keep checking myself to see if my analysis is that of a "homer" and it is. The Rams looked bad Monday (in fact I thought Jackson looked slow while most thought he had a great game) and the Colts are gonna mail it in. What's nice about the NFL is that the games will be played and there are always surprises. If there is any justice at all we'll get in. The Bills are better than the Bronco's and the Jets dammit!

As someone who lived in Charlotte for over 20 years, I can personally attest that the sole reason the Hornets moved away was George Shinn.
He constantly meddled with the team, influenced poor drafting in some cases, traded good players away, for the sake of saving a buck. The Hornets drafted Kobe Bryant and promptly traded him to the Lakers for Vlade Divac.
The last straw was when he whined that he was losing money, and needed to build a new stadium to replace the Charlotte Coliseum (built in 1988), which he of couse wanted funded by the City. The dispute turned very ugly, and the people turned on him when he threatened to move the team.
Charlotte led the league several years in a row, the numbers are there if you care to look. Don't ever let anyone tell you the team failed because of low attendance, that is pure bull sh--...
Sounds a lot like our John Y Brown. We traded Moses Malone and some other stars shortly before moving to San Diego. Most here probably never heard of the Buffalo Braves either....

Ditto! I wouldn't have it any other way! However my best News Years Eve ever was 1973 at the Aud when ZZ Top opened up for Alice Cooper and I had a hand full of "Ludes" and some fine lookin ladies.

Dear Lord,
I know football is not a priority right now and we pray for those suffering in south east asia and the middle east. However as a humble Bills fan who has suffered countless heartbreaking close calls I am asking that you intervene in two football games this Sunday. We can handle the Steelers but you have to give Mr. Martz his brain back for that day resulting in a Rams win. Then let Peyton's and the Colts egos give them the fortitude to beat "The Snake" in Denver.
Finally I promise never mention "Wide Right" and "no Goal" ever again!
Amen
John
Glad some other Bills Fans are doing this. My thread didn't quite get it going.

Our Guys come out of the Tunnel Like Lazarus from the Tomb! The decibles will be enormous.

It's a lead pipe lock. 12th man is going to keep us from letting down against their scrubs, unlike the Rams did against Philly. We'll be getting things like good ball spots, defensive holding and procedure penalties against them because of the noise and its effect on the Refs.

I could give two ***** about winning money this weekend. A couple hundred bucks or the Bills in the playoffs? I would take the Bills in a second. That said this weekend does bring up a unique betting situation for Bills fans. While the playoffs would be the best situation having a little extra coin may help the healing process if things don't go our way.
If you believe we take care of our end then this is the bet you should take.
Bills, Jets, and Broncos in a 3 team parlay against the money line. My bookie doesn't have the money line up yet but when it's all said and done you should get 3 to 1 or 4 to 1 odds for that bet. That way if we win and the other teams also win at least you can make a couple hundred bucks. If we win and one of the other teams lose then who cares? Bills will be in the playoffs.
Not Bad...I just don't like that also

Wait as close to the game as possible. You'll get a club seat for about 20 bucks. Best seats are usually the people that are no shows. Just act and be confident.
