K-9 Posted September 14, 2016 Share Posted September 14, 2016 All divisional games are must win in my book. GO BILLS!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luxy312 Posted September 14, 2016 Share Posted September 14, 2016 I've said this before, and probably in multiple threads. The Bills cannot afford to go 0.500 in the first four games of the season where the Patriots don't have Brady. Now they're sitting in a situation where they are already a game behind the Patriots that managed to get a road win against a very good Cardinal team with freaking Garoppolo throwing the football. Not good at all. A loss to the Jets and I say that the season is already a wash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marty McFly Posted September 14, 2016 Share Posted September 14, 2016 This is a must win, Bills will be lucky to get 2-2 in the 1st 4. 2-2 is the minimum record to have if we want any shot of grabbing a WC spot. Pitt, KC, Cin, NE, Oak, Jak, are all making the playoffs barring miraculous injury circumstance creelies. That leaves us out of the playoff race and in the hunt with the Ravens, Jets, Colts and Chargers. So lets be real, this season is an uphill battle and well be lucky to pull out a WC over OAK and JAK who have a better roster, and easier schedule than us than us.

John from Riverside Posted September 15, 2016 Share Posted September 15, 2016 One game at a time. I think we end up taking a game this year that most pencil as a loss.....but we need to win our divisional games especially at home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
purple haze Posted September 15, 2016 Share Posted September 15, 2016 This is a division game so it is most definitely a must win. And they have to play well on offense. That hot mess on Sunday spooked me. I was not expecting the laying of that egg. They better show up tomorrow night and close the deal with a W too.

Prickly Pete Posted September 15, 2016 Share Posted September 15, 2016 (edited) I define "must win" as "if they lose, they won't make the playoffs", or a playoff game that ends the season. Let's hear some other definitions, cuz I'm confused when I see things like "every game is a must win" or "I consider all divisional games must win".

Blokestradamus Posted September 15, 2016 Share Posted September 15, 2016 Probability of making playoffs at 0-2 - 12% Chances at 1-1 - 41% From here - http://fivethirtyeight.com/features/skeptical-football-go-go-andrew-luck-and-a-must-win-for-the-pats Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prickly Pete Posted September 15, 2016 Share Posted September 15, 2016 (edited) 0-2 with Cards and Pats away next..then looking at schedule with Cinci, Pats, Seattle, Pitt, Raiders - must win You aren't one of the people making the claims I referred to ("Every game is a must win", "Every division game is a must win") I don't believe any game this early is a "must win", because we don't really know how good the rest of the teams on the schedule really are yet, AND teams have made the playoffs with divisional losses (obviously). Every team loses games, even the eventual champion. I think this team just sucks, and isn't going to make the playoffs because they suck. Not because a loss to a division opponent in Week 2 was some kind of "must win". Any team worth a crap could overcome a loss tonight.

I agree, division or not, I just don't think the Bills are anywhere near good enough to start off 0-2 with the schedule ahead (and make the playoffs).

K-9 Posted September 15, 2016 Share Posted September 15, 2016 I never say "must win" until the math dictates it, but this game is as close as you can get otherwise. It's certainly a "must be better" game for the offense as another stinker like Sunday might start that negative snow ball of frustration and pressing that just keeps feeding on itself.

Yeah, but the point is, it's because they aren't any good. It's not the schedule, it's the Bills, and their crappiness. They could have filled out the schedule's non-division games with the other bottom feeders of the league, and this Bills team would still miss the playoffs, methinks.
