aristocrat Posted October 27, 2011 Share Posted October 27, 2011 This makes me question if he knows what he's talking about. If the defense doesn't get TOs, they suck. Pure and simple. Hopefully the TOs return Sunday. Go BILLS !! if lindell doesn't hit that fg against the pats we are only 3-3. Let's create hypothetical situations to make our brains go nuts with frustration!

stinky finger Posted October 27, 2011 Share Posted October 27, 2011 I could care less what Clayton says. We're not a playoff caliber team yet. 1 more good offseason and we will be. I'm good with this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Senator Posted October 27, 2011 Share Posted October 27, 2011 Still trying to figure out why he thinks the Bills D (24.5 points/420.5 yards per game) is so inferior to, say, the Cheatriettes* D (22.5 points/423.7 yards per game) It's hard to take a guy that looks like Wally Cox too seriously.

The Big Cat Posted October 27, 2011 Share Posted October 27, 2011 You miss my point. When you say a team has a "chance" at a particular record, you're saying that is somewhat of a stretch goal. That's how I view the Bills at 11-5; not probable, but possible. When Clayton says the Bills have a "chance" at eight or nine wins it's an insult, no matter how you slice it. The Bills should expect eight or nine wins at this point. It's getting to ten or eleven where the "chance" comes into play. Precisely. With ten games less to play, the Bills have a "chance" at winning four or five of them? With two games against the Dolphins, one against the Broncos, the fledgling Chargers and this week against the plummeting Skins, they have a "chance" to win four MAY BE five of the remaining TEN? In other words, we're guaranteed to lose AT LEAST four of our last ten games. This is why I hate win/loss predictions, especially ones made on the fly--like the one Clayton made. All you get is this team "feels like." Don't tell me what you "feel!" Actually take a look at the damn schedule and take a reasonable stab based on how a team can expect to fare against their upcoming opponents. WHAT A NOVEL IDEA!

RealityCheck Posted October 27, 2011 Share Posted October 27, 2011 I am a very happy Bills fan these days. This team is definitely on the rise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wnyBacker Posted October 27, 2011 Share Posted October 27, 2011 i got no problem with what clayton said, it sounds reasonable. BUT obviously i hope he was wrong about the no playoffs part of the comment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BUT obviously i hope he was wrong about the no playoffs part of the comment. The Cincy loss could turn out to be a real ass-biter when it comes to playoff talk. But in terms of analysis, that conclusion was reached after doing some actual objective reasoning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shibuya Posted October 27, 2011 Share Posted October 27, 2011 this team WILL NOT make the playoffs.. Our lack of pass rush is unfixable this year and we will be LUCKY to win 5 more game.... 9 wins will not be enough for a wildcard in the AFC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In bold are the remaining games which won't require any "luck" to win: Washington NYJ Dallas Miami NYJ Tennessee San Diego Miami Denver New England These are by no means guaranteed wins. But the unbolded games are by no means guaranteed losses, especially games against NYJ and Dallas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curse Of Rusty Jones Posted October 27, 2011 Share Posted October 27, 2011 If you think we are making the playoffs now after the injuries this week and I am sure more to come, you are out to lunch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you referring to our injuries, the Redskins or the rash of injuries that EVERY NFL team is experiencing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
