BUFFALOKIE Posted September 28, 2011 Share Posted September 28, 2011 (edited) Until someone else wins the division, the AFCE DOES belong to the Patriots. The Jets ARE standing in our way. Those are facts. I Billieve we will whip the Jets, and we will take the division away from the Patriots, but as of right now, you cannot argue with that part of the quote.

BillsFan-4-Ever Posted September 28, 2011 Share Posted September 28, 2011 The Bills crushed a bad KC team and defeated two playoff teams. PROBLEM #1 they fell 18 or more points behind. STOP that trend, win 3 of the next 5 games and then there should be no doubt who the Bills are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mango Posted September 28, 2011 Share Posted September 28, 2011 unsure on this???? kordell stewart picked us as the best team in the afc, power rankings have us 6th, and jemelle hill thought we should have been in the top 5. so if we arent picked as the greatest team in the world in any sport we are being dissed. we seem to be getting alot of credit, and it is almost worrying, because finally with some recognition you would hate to blow it. we keep getting talked about with the lions, and honestly i pick the lions over us as well as far suprise undefeated teams. the oakland win was awesome. turns out kc is god awful, and well a pats win is always a pats win. just saying if i where another team in the nfl, i would be more worried about stafford suh, johnson, van den bosch right now rather than dareus stevie fitzy. we still have something to prove. last few weeks have been awesome, but not totally sold yet. if anybody knows that it should be us Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taglientep Posted September 28, 2011 Share Posted September 28, 2011 Darren Woodson was asked to handicap the AFC East and is still picking the Pats, even though a minute earlier he said the Pats would have trouble beating the Raiders. He said he expected "the wind to come out" of the Bills sails because "the AFC East still goes through New England." (It does?) He even said the Jets are standing in our way. The Bills can keep proving themselves but media will always discount what they do. PTR Love it let them keep talking trash, and let Buffalo prove them all wrong. They did the same thing 10 years ago when a young no name qb took over for a potential HOF in New England.....They cant do this they cant do that...and they did and so will we Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KnightRider Posted September 28, 2011 Share Posted September 28, 2011 I'm not sold either, but I am optimistic. 2008 and 2003 are still too fresh in my mind for me to think about anything other than the next game. Let's see how things look around Thanksgiving time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cvanvol Posted September 28, 2011 Share Posted September 28, 2011 Promo I bet you'd agree to let it happen. ESPN has lost it's touch long ago. Look who their experts are. Clayton? He most likely couldn't bench a football so how did he become an expert? Let these guys say what they will, and let the Bills keep going. I said that the Bills will most likely go 8-8 and that would be considered a decent year. Chan the Man has really turned this team into not only doing but BILLieving in themselves, and it shows. If and a big IF the Bills sweep the jets and pats will people really look at the Bills. For the record, Buffalo has a good to great chance of going 5-0 while the pats and jets stand to go 2-3. I just hope it happens. Thats actually impossible Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They made a statement by the way of their play and now they're expectations for this season have increased exceedingly. We're undefeated at this point. We beat NE and we can again. The Stakes are higher and winning the AFC East should be our Prize for the taking now. We already know New England isn't the same anymore. Let's see how good the Jets are. I say bring 'em on!!!

Griz Posted September 28, 2011 Share Posted September 28, 2011 The best thing for the Bills is to have people continue to doubt them. Better that than being crowned Champs at this point. Just keep doubting.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rpcolosi Posted September 28, 2011 Share Posted September 28, 2011 here's a very a good assessment of the Bills from ESPN: http://insider.espn.go.com/nfl/story/_/id/7026017/nfl-power-rankings-overrating-buffalo-bills-new-orleans-saints Sprow's analysis that we are around #9 on power rankings and not 6, is both fair and objective. Our defense still has a lot of holes in it and needs to really shut down a good offense to start showing how complete a team we are. KC does not qualify as a good defensive win. He mentions that we need to stop playing from behind early on but are predicted to win around 10games this year, which he praises. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DC Tom Posted September 28, 2011 Share Posted September 28, 2011 I don't understand why people get so offended by this stuff. Simple. People think opinions are important. They're not. At most, it's just fun to B word about, but it only matters what happens on the field. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hondo in seattle Posted September 28, 2011 Share Posted September 28, 2011 The Bills haven't been to the playoffs since before the Ides of March when Caesar still ruled. It's been a really long time so the reluctance to embrace the Bills is understandable. So far the Bills have only proved that they have a lot of fight in them and an offense that can light up a scoreboard. They have not shown themselves to be a dominant team that can win in all three phases of a game. If we go just 2-2 in our next 4 games but then beat the Jets in November, the media will take us seriously as a force in the AFCE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cynical Posted September 28, 2011 Share Posted September 28, 2011 Good. That'll help keep the Bills from getting swelled egos and help keep fan boards from filling up with bangwagon dopes. Yeah, but the opposite of that is the number idiots who will "gleefully" dig up old columns and articles of the "experts" in attempt to hold them accountable for their saying negative stuff about the Bills. Jesus, let it go. Enjoy the ride. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skibum Posted September 28, 2011 Share Posted September 28, 2011 A couple of reality-based observations we should all keep in mind: 1. It's only been three games 2. The Pats game could have gone either way, let's be honest. If Brady only throws three picks instead of four, the Pats win because they score TDs at will. 3. The Bills have a serious depth problem and the injuries are just starting to mount. 4. The Bills' D has not inspired much confidence the last two weeks. 5. Buffalo is only a few games removed from undisputed suckitude as a franchise. There is still a lot of football to be played, lets not get carried away just yet.

The Bills can keep proving themselves but media will always discount what they do. PTR We have to win games in our division. We need atleast a split with the Jets and Pats*, while hopefully we sweep the Dolphins. We have been bad for a long time. We haven't been consistent for a long time. If we do what I just said within the division at least, split with the NFC East, beat the Bengals, and the Broncos that would be 10 wins. I think 10-6 gets us into the playoffs. If our team keeps it up, playing the way they are now and with minimal injuries, we could finish better than that. Our schedule looks managable for a playoff run.

The proof is in the record 3-0, the offensive stats and the improved run defense that is making teams one-dimensional. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you were forced to put all your money down right now on who wins the AFC East, who are you going to pick? New England is the favorite until someone knocks them down, we'll find out at the end of the year if its the Bills, Jets or they're still the top team in the division.

PromoTheRobot Posted September 28, 2011 Author Share Posted September 28, 2011 What have the Bills done over a 16 week season in recent memory that says any different? How can any of you be surprised with a skeptical media? Please..... Ever hear the phrase "past performance does not guarantee results?" It goes both ways. Saying you suck because you always suck is not "proof." Sometimes you have to look at what is actually happening in front of you. PTR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also think the Raiders will beat the Patriots this week. I also hope the Bills shove it up all these guys azz's over the course of the whole season, but I see nothing wrong with his thinking. Hopefully, he's not right. It's not like the Pats couldn't have easily won this game on our field. They didn't, but they were right there. They'll get better, we'll get better. We'll see who wins.
