Realist Posted December 23, 2004 Share Posted December 23, 2004 Do you think we should petition the NFL to reschedule our game this week with the 49ers to a rematch with Jacksonville? I ask this because we all know that a win a against the lowly 49ers doesn't count for anything, but a win against one of the teams we are fighting for a playoff spot will count in the standings. Then again the Jaguars only have an 8-6 record so that wouldn't count either. Bring on the Eagles! Oh wait, they suck now without TO, so that wouldn't count either. We have the Steelers next week, but we know that won't count because if they beat the Ravens they'll be playing for nothing next week, so they'll rest their starters. The Pats, that's it bring on the Pats! Damn, they just lost to the dolphins so that game won't count anymore... Face it we're screwed because none of our wins count... sarcasm off Sorry just venting...can only beat the teams on our schedule. Yes, this is a LAMP post...

boomerjamhead Posted December 23, 2004 Share Posted December 23, 2004 So like, if the Bills beat the 9ers.... And the 9ers have beaten the Cardinals twice.... Would that be like beating the Cardinals three times in a single season? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gantrules Posted December 23, 2004 Share Posted December 23, 2004 And they should be. Considering everyone is making the same arguement about the Falcons in the NFC. An 11-3 team is an 11-3 team. We are 8-6. And don't give me the BS "it'd be different if we played in the NFC." Then you'd be assuming we would have finished with the same record over the last few years so we would have had the same draft picks. Which isn't true. You can't change one thing in the grand scheme of things and assume everthing will remain the same. The Bills are an 8-6 team. Period. The Pats are a 12-2 team. Period. The Falcons are a 11-3 team. Period. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only that could even be considered close was the Miami game, and we all know how they played against NE. I could see these arguments if we were squeaking by. That's just not the case.

ATBNG Posted December 23, 2004 Share Posted December 23, 2004 Here's a quick look at why that argument really doesn't hold any water. There are 13 teams in the NFL who have a record above .500. This is simply the number of teams that each has played (through 14 games) that was also above .500. Jacksonville 8 Baltimore, Buffalo, Indy, NE, NYJ 6 Pitt, S.D. 5 Denver, Green Bay, Minny, Philly 4 Atlanta 2 If you're going to say Buffalo has played a weak schedule, then everyone has played a weak schedule (except maybe for the Jags and Indy, who finish with 2 +.500 teams).

SouthTownBills51 Posted December 23, 2004 Share Posted December 23, 2004 In on honestly, at this point in the season, I could care less who we've beaten..just as long as we've beaten them, and we have buy a large margin of victory to. I don't think bills care either at this point..a win is a win no matter who you beat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
