zow2 Posted December 28, 2004 Share Posted December 28, 2004 Would you rather see the Bills lose a hard fought nail biter against Pittsburgh's starters?.....or would you rather the Bills win and not make it because Denver and NY wins also? It would be easier for me to stomach if we just lose our game fair and square. Beating Pitt for our 7th win in a row and still not making it would be hard to swallow. But reality is that I hope we kill Pittsburgh. If we beat Pitt and the playoffs are not in the cards the Bills might get more respect by not making it than they would if they got in and lost at one of the big three teams. The National media will be saying the most dominant team in the 2nd half of the season could have gone all the way! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rockpile Posted December 28, 2004 Share Posted December 28, 2004 There is only one choice - WIN OUT! Anything else is out of their control. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Like A Mofo Posted December 28, 2004 Share Posted December 28, 2004 When i drive 400 miles to see a Bills game, I NEVER EVER want to see them lose...who cares of the Steelers starters are playing or not? There are NO guarantees in the NFL. None. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Speaking of which, anyone know how this works: if we finish with a better record than the Rams, et. al, even though we do not make the playoffs, do we have a later draft pick than them, or are all the playoff teams last?

BuffaloWings Posted December 28, 2004 Share Posted December 28, 2004 I'd rather lose to Pittsburgh's starters, if that were the case. At least we could say that the Bills gave it every chance they could, but just fell short. Given the 0-4 start, it would be amazing if they just squeaked in. Thus, I wouldn't be too upset. But reality is that I hope we kill Pittsburgh. If we beat Pitt and the playoffs are not in the cards the Bills might get more respect by not making it than they would if they got in and lost at one of the big three teams. The National media will be saying the most dominant team in the 2nd half of the season could have gone all the way! 181679[/snapback] That would hurt even more. One could say (and many have) that the Bills were the most dominant team of the early 90s, yet they still never won the big one. I want the trophy. Ralph Wilson deserves it just as much - if not more - than any of the original AFL owners still around right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jester43 Posted December 28, 2004 Share Posted December 28, 2004 i prefer to beat the steelers 61-0 and let the rest of the league cringe at the thought of dealing with us next year. i'd also like to F with pghs collective head as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Imagine the Bills losing to the Steelers, then watching the Jets fall at St Louis and the Broncos lose to Indy... how crappy would that feel knowing that all the Bills had to do was beat the Steelers scrubs, at home, to make the playoffs and they couldn't do it. It would make you question the coaching staff and Bledsoe all over again. It would ruin the momentum they've built over the past two months. It would be one of the worst offseasons ever.

Guest RabidBillsFanVT Posted December 28, 2004 Share Posted December 28, 2004 Why all the negative ponderings?? Not me... my only negative is us not beating New England. And YET we could still DO THAT in January!!!! Could you imagine? I could. SCREW Indy. SCREW the Pats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

macaroni Posted December 28, 2004 Share Posted December 28, 2004 With out a doubt .......... if we are not destined to make the playoffs, I want a hard fought game against the Squeelers 1st team with the Bills pulling out a victory in the final seconds of the game. Then I want the team to take the lesson that their slow start cost them a playoff spot to heart and use that as a motivation to start next season like they ended this season. However, I am NOT giving up on our playoff possibilities for this year ..... I still want Pittsburgh to play their 1st team ...... still want a hard fought game ..... still want the Bills to win at the final gun, but I want them in the playoffs as a team to be feared.

Corp000085 Posted December 28, 2004 Share Posted December 28, 2004 10-6 or bust. It's impossible for me to imagine a scenerio where i'd be happy for the bills to lose.

I have been a very rabid fan for 40 years and I was ready to bench Bledsoe after the second loss to start building for next year. So I am eating crow (tastes pretty f*ing good) and staying with my earlier note - the Bills must win out. That is all they control. I like that Mularkey turned off all the locker room tv's last week and told the team to nevermind what was happening in the early games - just go out there at beat the 49ers.
