SaviorPeterman Posted November 10, 2017 Share Posted November 10, 2017 We missed another key milestone last week in getting to 6-2 for the first time since 1993 (last superbowl season), but this week we have a shot with a upset over the Saints to move to 6-3 for the first time since our last playoff season in 1999. Another key metric to keep in mind that I've pointed out before is the Bills have never been 6-4 or better since the first year of the drought in 2000, so even if Bills lose this week they could still win in LA next week to ensure they avoid the dreaded 5-5 mark. Either way the next few weeks loom LARGE for this franchise in terms of exorcising some demons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Another Fan Posted November 10, 2017 Share Posted November 10, 2017 True. I still remember in 2014 the KC game with the end zone fumble. Woulda been 6-3 that day. Its a sad statistic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah we had a big win in Green Bay the week before the Oakland loss across the country. Similar deal now, real good NFC team coming in and flying to California next week. This game is crucial. I just don't see the Charger game as a win(hope I'm wrong). Can easily be 5-5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

H2o Posted November 10, 2017 Share Posted November 10, 2017 Then we reverse the curse in the playoffs by making Flutie an honorary Captain and win the game on a forward lateral (I mean a backward pass) on a kickoff that is returned for a TD to win the game late in the 4th.

Can easily be 5-5 Yes even with an upset over the Saints the game in LA against the Chargers is not going to easy especially when you consider the west coast trip and the fact the Bills have been blown out in every game there during Rivers career. In fact our only win ever against Rivers was the blackout game in Buffalo in 2008 when SD had a down season. Also if the Chargers can win in Jax on Sunday coming out of their bye it sets up a massively huge game for them against the Bills next week with a chance to get to .500 I just hate how this schedule sets up for the Bills down the stretch, no game is going to be easy quite frankly.

If we can grind them down there early, Shady might be able to break off a few big ones late.just my opinion Edited November 10, 2017 by BuffAlone Misspoke Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not Benjamin Saints should just take him out of the game with Lattimore Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its a sad statistic I believe that was former board legend Bryce Brown! i hate that I feel this way but I’ll believe it when I see it. I think our lack of talent is catching up.

I just cannot see a matchup anywhere on the field the Bills can exploit the Saints with While the metrics on the Saints are impressive (particularly their rushing and overall offense) it's not like they are crushing teams week after week during this current 6 game run. However what stands out to me is they are only the 3rd team in NFL history to start 6-2 after an 0-2 start, and the last two went on to win the SB (1993 Cowboys and 2007 Giants). I think if the Bills play their style of game they'll have a chance, but that means a big day from McCoy, no TO's and the defense forcing a few. Bills also have to figure out a way to come out and score points early. If we fall behind 10-0 or 14-0 early we'll certainly get blown off the field and this won't be close.

So that leaves you to cover Matthews and Thompson. Also IF you have Kamara on FF start him gonna have a huge game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
