Like A Mofo Posted January 3, 2005 Share Posted January 3, 2005 Well here I am at work...942 miles in 2 days later...tired as hell....disappointed even more...as for the Bills performance, Im sure everyone here broke it down the same way i feel...Drew MUST go, O-Line needs to get better, defense does not come up big when it absolutely has to etc....but heck it was a good run and at least the Bills made it exciting for us for a few weeks when we didnt expect it...and there is hope for this team, legitimate hope. Driving back on 1-90 and 1-81 last night I was trying to think if there has been a worse regular season Bills loss, considering what was at stake and the type of team (3rd and 4th stringers, no disrespect meant to Pittsburgh) we were playing. Right now i cannot think of a worse loss in the REGULAR season....anyone else know of any? I need coffee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But, it's not really fair to discredit players. It's a testimate to how much Cowher obviously knows Mularkey and his schemes. We got bitchslapped, that's for sure.

VABills Posted January 3, 2005 Share Posted January 3, 2005 1974 last game of year to Rams. I think w make playoffs there with a win as well. But alas, we lost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Like A Mofo Posted January 3, 2005 Author Share Posted January 3, 2005 you guys really think Week 1 or Week 8 losses are worse then coming up a 6 game winning streak, with a chance to make the playoffs playing a team AT HOME who is playing backups....and the Bills would have made the PLAYOFFS with a win? Man those Sunday night games and the jags game imo dont even come CLOSE to the feeling I have now....just my 2 cents. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Bills wacked away at 6 consecutive below avg. teams coming into the final game. The real barometer is playing against the best teams. (even though they played their reserves)....the Bills found out, they still need to improve to compete with the elite teams in the league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GG Posted January 3, 2005 Share Posted January 3, 2005 If you want to look at history - 1979 season finale loss to Pitt 28-0, but set the stage for a good run. 1987 frustrating Dec loss to New England, as Bills could finally taste playoffs after years of futility - we all know what happened afterwards. Use this as a cornerstone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was rough getting out of bed this morning. And then Drew didn't show up for his interview with Wease at 7:30 am. Which really pissed me off.

As for this game I had the "If we can't beat backups at home we don't deserve it" attitude. But if you define "worst loss" to mean "embarassing" and "inexcusable" then I agree - this one takes the cake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please!!!! I use my head when thinking about football, I know the Bills arent in the Pats league...not like you who likes to rip Manning because he doesnt have a ring...and call his accomplishments "worthless" if he dosent win the SB.... Ill say this right now Bills fans...IF that day EVER comes and thats a BIG IF....that the Bills win the Super Bowl....PLEASE, PLEASE do NOT become like Patsies fans...where rings are EVERYTHING and even if players have a GREAT season (Manning) if they have no rings its worthless...because that kind of thinking will make you sound dumb...REAL REAL dumb.

So are you implying that Manning isnt really a "team" player and his efforts arent SOLELY about winning the Super Bowl??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
