DisplacedBillsFan Posted November 6, 2017 Share Posted November 6, 2017 Currently, in the AFC, the Bills, Dolphins, Titans, Jaguars, and Chiefs all have three loses. Are all of their seasons over too, or is it just us? Aside from the Patriots and Steelers (and the teams mentioned above), everyone else has more than 3 loses. They must really be doomed! I cannot even imagine how negative the fans on those boards must be. What about the NFC? Is three losses after week 9 a nail in the coffin in that league too, or is it just an AFC thing? Or, is it just a Bills thing? I just want to make sure I fully understand the state of hysteria and misery I should be in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JM57 Posted November 6, 2017 Share Posted November 6, 2017 Nope just us. Battered Bills fan syndrome. Every team has a flaw. The Chiefs defense has looked bad for quite awhile. The Jaguars have to hide Bortles most days (not today). The Titans offense has been not great and their defense inconsistent. The Texans lost Watson so I'm no longer even worried about them being in the discussion considering their other injuries. The Dolphins are a wreck and it's amazing they have 4 wins. The Ravens offense is awful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Saints will be a tough game, no doubt. But at least we get them in Buffalo, with hopefully some less than ideal weather conditions. If the Chargers scare you at all, I don't know what to say. Fun side note, they've scored 24 less points than us on the season. Chiefs can be beat, Dallas just proved that. Yes, Dallas has looked good in recent weeks, but they are far from being a dominant team. Chiefs also dropped a game to Oakland, who we dismantled. Not saying this game is easy, but we can win it. It is not like it is impossible. Patriots in Buffalo after that. Yea, a division game against the Pats is always going to be a challenge, even at home. Let's play the games before we write our season off as over though. Edited November 6, 2017 by DisplacedBillsFan Spelling Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillsFan130 Posted November 6, 2017 Share Posted November 6, 2017 I guess just looking at the Bills the past 17 years has crept doubt in some of our minds, especially the way they lost last game. It kind of seemed like the "same old Bills" kinda game. Hopefully it is different though, who knows Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GunnerBill Posted November 6, 2017 Share Posted November 6, 2017 We have a tough slate to come.... and the way we lost to the Jets is definitely worrying... but we can't possibly play that badly again... that hopefully was just one of those days. Need at least 2 of the next 4. 7-5 would be a nice position. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldmanfan Posted November 6, 2017 Share Posted November 6, 2017 If we were 8-0 a select few would say we'd finish 8-8. It's bizarre. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gr8billsfan Posted November 6, 2017 Share Posted November 6, 2017 That loss to the Jets hurt our chances. If we beat the Pats at home and the Saints, we got a good shot at making Wild Card assuming the other AFC teams do worse than us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea, the last 17 years have sucked, and left many with a bad taste in their mouth, but let it go. This team has a lot happening for them that teams of the last 17 year haven't. Try to take the time to be a little optimistic about our decent start. You may enjoy it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He may have a larger, positive effect on the outcome of games than anyone we've traded for before, especially mid-season. I'm extremely excited for next Sunday to see him play in a Bills uni.

Big C Posted November 6, 2017 Share Posted November 6, 2017 The fact of the matter is that few teams are improving in the AFC as the season goes on. We are in good shape even with that stinker on Thursday as long as we get back to our fundamentals. No more missed tackles, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boatdrinks Posted November 6, 2017 Share Posted November 6, 2017 Not every team, obviously. Some teams are good enough to manage it and win 5 more games. Some teams have an easier path to ten wins than others. The Bills have a tough row to hoe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mmichii Posted November 6, 2017 Share Posted November 6, 2017 Being the BIlls doing Billsie kinds of things likiing choking on Thursday night I would say ya they're toast. Now if they were any other team except Cleveland I'd say ya lets forget that last game and move on boys....but being a Buffalo team this is where they just go into that yearly nosedive. 7-9.........again. Sabres......lottery.......again. Personally with all the losiing I'm kinda numb to it now. I don't cheer nor do I get mad. I just sit there and watch. I kind of just gave up. I still care but without any expectations except for both teams to do typical Buffalo things......lose......a lot....in the most exquisitely cruel ways. In fact most of the time when I watch I just feel sad........like I know neither of these teams are going to win a championship before i die or maybe ever.

HuSeYiN_NYC Posted November 6, 2017 Share Posted November 6, 2017 I don't think its that we have 3 losses, just at HOW we lost on Thursday that raised question marks all over the place. The pain I felt on Thursday believe it or not, still lingers. I'm not part of the "we're doomed" crowd. But I was brought back to Earth on Thursday. I'm hoping it was just one of those days because this time, the whole team was trash. Not just the offense. The smarter part of my brain tells me that we need turnovers to actually have a chance at winning games and that worries me. I mean really worries me. Like saviorpeterman kind of worried.
