Billsfan1972

As stated Atl was very early in McD's tenure and we were already told not to expect much, but yep a very good win, as was KC. 2018 Tenn & Minn 2019 Tenn Thus I will repeat not including 2020 they are 5-17 vs. those with a record over .500. Conversely they are 20-6 vs. all others.

And you are here too aren't you......😉 All things considered the Bills may not need a "signature" win to even make the playoffs this year (though some think beating the Pats qualify)..... 2XNE, Den, Miami & LAC get's the Bills to 10-6...... I dream big.....😉

And there hasn't been one, which is the debate here. If you're going to say they arrived beating Duck or Thanksgiving vs. Dallas, who btw went 8-8 going 5-1 in the division & beating Detroit, Miami and LA Rams (but yes two wins vs. 9-7 teams), again that is laughable. Bills only win in 2019 vs. a winning team was vs. Tenn (Mariotta + 4 missed FG). Go Bills (& spank the Pats).......

Duck was a disaster...... The Bills basically turtled that game and refused to do anything on offense. They had 269 yards in offense. They were too scared to do anything. Look at the Play by Play and you'll see how sad the Bills were on Offense. https://www.espn.com/nfl/playbyplay?gameId=401128065 The play at the end of the half and after they took the lead in the 4th they got the ball twice and ran 6 plays (all runs), thus handing the ball back to Pitt. BTW Duck is now on the Steelers practise squad and their 4th QB.... Wow what a statement win that was.

And when that happens (let's hope this year) it will be against a team with a record over .500 (thought two teams have been under .500 and a # 8-8).....😁

Unfortunately (or rather fortunately) for the Rams, they've had a few with McVay as coach. The Bills we don't know yet.😜

No other coach went more then a year without a 300 yard passer 2017-2019, regardless of the QB..... The only constant is McD..... So yes it falls on him. Glad that monkey's off his back. I also said I'm coming around on him, but still not convinced. And yes the Rams may be that win, but his record & performance vs. teams over .500 is not good (many blowouts included). For a team with a 25-23 record under him, that is a glaring hole.

So what side are you on?🙄 We played a team with maybe the worst QB in the league (only because he played for the Steelers was he given any press) and needed to pick him off 4 times as we played that game scared to death on offense. It was actually pathetic the playcalling on the Offensive side of the ball. The only thing I remember on Offense that game, was getting the ball with 2 minutes left in the first half and petrified to move the ball and grinding out three runs for a first down and celebratinbg as if they had just scored a TD late in a game to go ahead (all so they wouldn't punt and give Duck another chance before Half!!!!).....

And everything the staff has done is good? I didn't start this thread, I only agree with the premise. I said it was a good win & may be, however too am disappointed over McD's tenure the bad games vs. teams with over .500 records that the Bills have had, where they have generally been uncompetitive.

Beating a 2-5 team a signature win???? Again how low is the bar set. And again the Bills need to beat playoff teams & teams over .500 consistently. McD has beaten 5 since he was named HC.

If 5-3, then the Bills are likely in trouble. If ever there was a game they can't afford to lose, it is this week vs. the Pats.

It was PI (or holding,as the defender too knew it & let go after the throw)....... Oh and then there was the bogus Int, which basically turned the wole game around.....

I will blame they were not prepared for Tenn (unsure if even playing & then a Tuesday game). KC they again were not well prepared and weather. Jets they really did move the ball and frankly they miss Brown... Let's hope just a bad run.

Even I will not be that negative!!!!!😉 I expect much more.

Find me a worse loss vs. a team the Bills absolutely must beat. Not just that it is the Pats, but that is followed by two much better teams.

Yep that one hurt, but we were prepared in 2017 that it was a Process & the Bills were not a good team, were we not?😜 This is the Patriots and adds more weight as the Bills are ascending & the Patriots are supposed to be falling.

Yes a very good win (and may be as close to a signature win as can be) but unfairly was too early in the season. But like many it maybe being disappointed in performances vs. KC, New England, Baltimore..... Where the scores aren't terrible, but the Bills are seemingly just not trading punches. It's like that championship boxing/UFC match that goes the distance, but the scorecards are one-sided, with the Champion never in serious trouble).

You mean what BB has done vs. the Bills since day one?😜

Nice win vs. teams they played that they had better records then when they played (Dallas & Pitt). Yes they too were national games, but against hugely flawed teams (Dallas Defense, Pitt Offense) that finished 8-8. Frankly though they had a very easy schedule in 2019 & had 5 games vs. teams over .500 NE x 2, Phil, Tenn & Balt. The Tenn game was before Tannehill was the starter & 4 missed fgs. In 2018 they were 1-8 vs. teams over .500 In 2017 they were 2-6

I think we agree..... Apologies..... A low bar is a low bar......😉

And lose and again we go to being BB's whipping boy and Monday will be insufferable from the media. Sorry don't need that.....

Thanks for the math lesson.😋 However this is the Pats and a game they need to win to get the monkey off their back.

An 8-8 team that was horrible on offense. A win yes.... Signature no. The bar is so low, we can have a limbo contest!!!!

Pretty pathetic if you consider a 17-10 win over Pittsburgh a team that had almost no offense (and ended up 8-8) a signature win. Actually the Bills did everything they could to keep Duck in the game.

We're Bills fans. I look forward to every game. The point of the thread is that the last meaningful game the Bills won vs. NE was 2011 (2 other wins included last game of the year and Brady sat & other he was injured). Prior to that opening day 2003 and the 31-0 shellacking..... https://www.footballdb.com/teams/nfl/new-england-patriots/teamvsteam?opp=4 Some lousy losses, so excuse me if I think this is a game for the Bills not to lose (for their psyche and ours😜).
