John from Riverside Posted September 4, 2011 Share Posted September 4, 2011 I really hope that Matt Cassell is completely healthy....I hope their whole team is.....so we can beat a healthy team and have no asterisks next to it.... If we cannot beat healthy teams then we are just fooling ouselves......bring on your best! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miserable_fan Posted September 4, 2011 Share Posted September 4, 2011 A win is a win. I don't care how it happens tbh. I will be ecstatic if the Bills pull off a opening day win. Obviously a win against a healthy team does alot more for the teams/fans morale, but standings don't discriminate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pilsner Posted September 4, 2011 Share Posted September 4, 2011 Agreed. We need to find out what our players are really capable of against starters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we want to win games when they count.....we need to be able to beat teams that are not ravaged by injury. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Acantha Posted September 4, 2011 Share Posted September 4, 2011 (edited) I've never cared one way or the other. When a quarter of our team has been on the injured reserve in years past, those losses don't have asterisks next to them; they're just losses. I'll be happy with 1-0 no matter who's on the other side of the field. If we want to win games when they count.....we need to be able to beat teams that are not ravaged by injury. We need to beat the team on the field. Edited September 4, 2011 by Faustus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think last year we showed the talent necessary to beat good, healthy teams. We just lacked the ability to pull the trigger and finish games. I know we CAN beat good teams, so I just want to see us do well in the standings. I'll take 19 ugly victories Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miyagi-Do Karate Posted September 5, 2011 Share Posted September 5, 2011 I really hope that Matt Cassell is completely healthy....I hope their whole team is.....so we can beat a healthy team and have no asterisks next to it.... If we cannot beat healthy teams then we are just fooling ouselves......bring on your best! I share the sentiment generally. BUT, I think we're due for some luck. Instead of being the team that is severely undermanned due to injuries, it's about time we play some banged-up teams and maybe win some games we shouldn't have any business winning. I guarantee you that if we're sitting at 10-6 and in the playoffs in week 17, you'll have forgotten completely about beating a team in week 1 without its starting QB.

Smears Posted September 5, 2011 Share Posted September 5, 2011 I always hope for Brady to be injured every week no matter who he plays. I hate him. Matt Cassell played well with the Patsies Oline. Sanchez is overrated. Henne stinks up the field! Fitz is the coolest QB in our division. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amstel Posted September 5, 2011 Share Posted September 5, 2011 I'll still take it but its yet another opportunity for the media to say we suck and only beat them cause Cassel was injured........ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. K Posted September 5, 2011 Share Posted September 5, 2011 (edited) So what if Cassel is injured and that helps the Bills beat them? That's what happens sometimes. The Bills are going to face plenty of teams that are not handicapped by serious injuries, so they'll get tested eventually even if it doesn't come in the first week. You play the team that's on your schedule, then play the next one. I don't think we have to worry about the Bills sneaking through the season by getting lucky.

Endless Ike Posted September 5, 2011 Share Posted September 5, 2011 yeah, i would just be all sorts of broken up if every starting QB in the league got hurt and the bills won the superbowl with an asterisk next to their name... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C4Up Posted September 5, 2011 Share Posted September 5, 2011 Who cares about respect of the media? Until we make the playoffs most observers will laugh us off anyway. A win at KC will be an upset no matter who is playing QB for them. If I remember correctly, last time we had a chance to make the playoffs in Week 17, we played a Pittsburgh team that rested their starters and still beat us. The W or L is the only thing that matters, the win would have got us in the playoffs, the loss left us out. As others have mentioned above, injuries are part of the game in the NFL - just ask Sam Cowart, Takeo Spikes, John Holecek, Paul Pozluzny or Brandon Spoon. You beat the team on the other side of the field that day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bills1960 Posted September 5, 2011 Share Posted September 5, 2011 Exactly. I would never wish injuries upon anyone to begin with plus it would be a questionable win if he didn't play. Let' beat a team straight up, no excuses, just a plain old win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
