Dorkington Posted November 13, 2012 Share Posted November 13, 2012 We have to win out, and we all know that if we get to 6 in a row, we'll mess it up in the final week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeHateMe Posted November 13, 2012 Share Posted November 13, 2012 What have you seen from this defense that makes you believe they can be good enough to win 6 or 7 games in a row? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Just in Atlanta Posted November 13, 2012 Share Posted November 13, 2012 I think the futility of this season sunk in when I saw that Thursday Night Football's theme was that the Bills play spoilers to the lowly Phins...at midseason. While our playoff chances became highly unlikely after Sunday's lost to the Pats*, a loss Thursday will make it impossible. More so in a long time, I hope we throttle the Dolphins in epic proportions Thursday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We do absolutely need to "squish the fish" on Thursday - convicingly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RyanC883 Posted November 13, 2012 Share Posted November 13, 2012 ha ha great contribution. I believe the Bills can and will win Thursday and go on a 4 game streak. The two games that scare me the most are against Seattle and @ Miami. Mark Seattle down as a loss. Their D is amazing, and if we can't score, we loose with our D. I think that could be our only loss going forward. Hopefully enough to sneak into final WC spot. Gotta cheer for the Ravens and Bengals to loose. (I think Indy's schedule will catch up to them, although I do like how they are playing). We have to win out, and we all know that if we get to 6 in a row, we'll mess it up in the final week. You forgot to add...against the other teams 3rd string players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We do absolutely need to "squish the fish" on Thursday - convicingly. Really? If they made it a long time ago, you'd think the roles would be reversed. Buffalo was supposed to be the good team. Don't usually let the media's ignoring or bashing of this team--it deserves it--bother me, but that tagline really got my goat for some reason.

PaattMaann Posted November 13, 2012 Share Posted November 13, 2012 I certainly dont think we will make the playoffs....but last years super bowl champs didnt start the season so hot (granted, they were better than 3-6, and have a much better team (and better coached team) than we do this year) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al Cowlings Posted November 13, 2012 Share Posted November 13, 2012 Only in Buffalo do the fans get excited because their team actually came close to beating a declining power in the conference. look at the Bills three wins-two against the worse teams in the conference, and a lucky win versus a perennial loser in the NFC. Am I missing something here? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CodeMonkey Posted November 13, 2012 Share Posted November 13, 2012 (edited) Only in Buffalo do the fans get excited because their team actually came close to beating a declining power in the conference. look at the Bills three wins-two against the worse teams in the conference, and a lucky win versus a perennial loser in the NFC. Am I missing something here? Yes, you missed the mandatory koolaid snorting party. But if you look at the qualify of opponents of the first 9 games compared to the last 7. And the fact that 6 of the first 9 games were away. Plus the feeling of some that the defense just CAN'T continue to suck as bad as they have been. All of this gives people at least the hope of a strong finish. Realistically, I see a split with Miami, losses to Seattle and Indy, a close game but a win against the Rams. And wins against Jax and the nyets. So 7-9. Cue the Jauron flashback. Edited November 13, 2012 by CodeMonkey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jkrules Posted November 13, 2012 Share Posted November 13, 2012 The people who are delusional are the ones that jumped off of a cliff after the Houston loss. We are who we are. We are not good enough to beat good teams, but we are good to enough to beat the weak part of our schedule. Maybe I am delusional because everyone on here keeps calling me am a crackpot. But then I realize that the people calling me a crackpot are those that want to start Tyler Thigpen, fire Chan Gailey after a bad playcall, and hire Eric Mangini (or better yet, Bill Cowher). If we are good enough to beat the weaker teams, why the loss to Tennessee? I am not for starting Thigpen, firing Chan or hiring anyone else. What I am is a realist who sees a team that has not shown the ability to win the games they should. The Bills are not a good enough team for a playoff run yet.

Miyagi-Do Karate Posted November 13, 2012 Share Posted November 13, 2012 If we are good enough to beat the weaker teams, why the loss to Tennessee? I am not for starting Thigpen, firing Chan or hiring anyone else. What I am is a realist who sees a team that has not shown the ability to win the games they should. The Bills are not a good enough team for a playoff run yet. I actually started two threads on here recently. The first thread was that the Tennessee loss was the most disappointing loss of the year-- we absolutely needed to win that game and should have won that game. But sometimes you don't win the games you should win. The other thread I started was to say that I was okay with the Houston loss, because the team played better and I didn't expect to win. I was thoroughly flamed for that thread, because, I guess, people on here think this team is good enough to beat the best team in the league on the road. All I am saying is that this team, with its inconsistent offense and utterly disappointing defense, is good enough to win 8-10 games this year. They're bad enough to get killed by all of the potential playoff teams, they're inconsistent enough that they may blow games they should win, but they are good enough to win and should win 6-7 of these games down the stretch. This only seems delusional because our schedule was so horribly skewed with most of our tough games up front and the easier ones in the back.

BillsBiker Posted November 13, 2012 Share Posted November 13, 2012 Ill be watching Thursday and rooting for them. And I'll do the same when I travel to Indy to see my first game live this year. I only get 16 sundays a year. I'll watch every min Smartest statement on this topic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clearwater cadet Posted November 13, 2012 Share Posted November 13, 2012 Would not be shocked to go 10-6, expected to lose SF, Houston, Pats in NE. no surprized by loses to Jets (opener) and NE again. The one that really hurt us was Tenn., shocked we lost that game. I think we match up well the rest of the way. Hopes are not real high, but certainy not out of the question.

Canadian Bills Fan Posted November 13, 2012 Share Posted November 13, 2012 We all know what's going to happen. The Bills will win just enough games to earn a mid round draft pick but not enough to make the playoffs. They will do just well enough for the front office to contemplate retaining the coaches and Fitzy. CBF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HamSandwhich Posted November 13, 2012 Share Posted November 13, 2012 "they can EASILY win all the rest of their games"???? what are you smoking? even if its the easiest schedule, playing against all winless teams, and you were the best team in the NFL, it would not ever be EASY to win 7 straight games in the NFL...and we dont play all winless teams, and we aren't the best team in the NFL (or even close).... maybe you meant to say "its possible (very slightly) that they would win the rest of their games"? Wow, this is apples and oranges...top team vs 0 for whatever teams and you dont think they could win 7 in a row. I think the Packers from last year would easily destroy this years KC Cheifs 7 games in a row IMO. Thats a rediculous statement. Now the Bills won't have as easy of a time, but its certainly not unthinkable. Get off your high horse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T master Posted November 13, 2012 Share Posted November 13, 2012 (edited) Given this team started 6 of 9 on the road and having to play 4 of those games against very difficult opponents on the road it was expected this team would go at best 5-4.....which they almost did. It came down to a play in each game from that vs 3-6. The expected record was 4-5. They can easily win out the rest of the games and finish 10-6. 5 of them are home games, 2 of them are road games. If they go 6-1 they still aren't out of it. Its quite possible the two WC teams from the AFC are 9-7 or worse. With them losing today it will be very difficult for them to win the division. The Bills would need to have a better record than New England. I think with the way the D is playing your are delusional !! The offense is playing well enough even if you figure in 1 INT by Fitz per game , but the D can't stop opponents enough to keep us ahead in the game . With scoring 24 + points in the last 3 out of 4 games we should be sitting at 6 & 4, if our $100 million dollar man was living up to his hype, but he's not so that is in part why we are 3 & 7 .. I went & looked at the rest of the schedule & figuring in how the Defense is playing i believe 4 & 12 will be our record at the end of the season , the only team i think we have a good chance at beating is Jacksonville .. Which being 4 & 12 isn't all that bad if we can get Manti Teo with our first pick if Buddy is willing to go after him & get Tyler Wilson (my first choice) ,Klien or someone else in the second round ...
