DCgirl Posted December 27, 2004 Share Posted December 27, 2004 I know it may be dumb to compare the Bills to the Pats since the Bills have not yet won against an elite team but I was thinking about the Pats and their run in 2001 and the similarities to our current run. The year before, the Pats were 5-11. (We were 6-10 last year). In 2001, they started 1-3 (we started 0-4). Then, they won 10 of the last 12 including 6 in a row at the end to finish 11-5. We have won 9 of the last 11 including 6 in a row (hopefully 7 after the Steelers game). Interesting, huh? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rico Posted December 27, 2004 Share Posted December 27, 2004 They remind me more of the 2000 Ravens: great D, great ST, decent O: journeyman QB, great rookie RB, decent OL... we've got better WR's, they had Shannon Sharpe. Both teams struggled on O, then got red-hot going into the playoffs. The sky's the limit if we can make it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crackur Posted December 27, 2004 Share Posted December 27, 2004 Except all those teams at least had one home playoff game.I doubt if we do make the playoffs, we will go on the road 3 times and win all 3 games. 180699[/snapback] u never know Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remember it was Adam Vinateri who won two back to back games in that playoffs (including the superbowl) for the Patriots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohninMinn. Posted December 27, 2004 Share Posted December 27, 2004 Coming from me, that's a compliment, damnit! 180815[/snapback] Bledsoe only looked like a journeyman with coaches like Gilbride and blocker/receivers like Henry and Ruben "quitter" Brown!
