I would love to send Williams into retirement with another winning season at 9-7 and 1 singular career win in NE against Brady when it matters to the Pats. let's do it! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ComradeKayAdams Posted November 21, 2018 Share Posted November 21, 2018 (edited) Hey, what were the odds that the Sabres would pull off the past 6 wins, against very tough teams and mostly on the road? At least the next 6 games for the Bills are mostly at home and mostly against weak opponents. Edited November 21, 2018 by MichaelAbdallah Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would much rather play Allen and let him develop, and then head into 2019 with a more experienced Allen. And better draft picks at the same time. that is a quitter's mentality. would you buy a powerball ticket and figure you're gonna lose anyway, so you just throw it out? can you see the future and figure...screw it and stay in bed? one win...this week. that's all that needs to happen. all these teams that looked destined for 10-6 or better, may end up in an 8-8 logjam. wouldn't you rather watch a late december game that could have wc or even the division on the line? sure, all things have to fall in place, but if last year taught us anything, it can happen. why throw the towel in now? you are the kb of fans.... 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CodeMonkey Posted November 21, 2018 Share Posted November 21, 2018 I don't quite get the fascination with "making the playoffs". The drought was one thing so you can overlook making it with a meh record. But at the end of the day, making the playoffs at 8-8 means ... you know ... they were 8-8.

kkim0904 Posted November 21, 2018 Share Posted November 21, 2018 Lets get real.. With a rookie QB coming off the injury, we are lucky to finish 3 Win and 3 Loss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris66 Posted November 21, 2018 Share Posted November 21, 2018 Very unlikely to make playboffs at 8-8. Unless its for the division and thats not happening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Talley56 Posted November 21, 2018 Share Posted November 21, 2018 (edited) It was Thanksgiving weekend last year when we came off of 3 really bad performances heading into Kansas City where one more loss would have most likely done us in for the season. We pulled off an upset and turned the whole season around. Let’s do it again. Edited November 21, 2018 by Talley56 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A quitters mentality? When did I ever say throw in the towel? Try to win every single game with Josh Allen. Not Barkley. The reality is they are 3-7 and the odds of making the playoffs are basically slim to none. So it would be very foolish to start a career journeyman over your potential franchise QB to have a prayers chance of getting into the playoffs. Sean McDermott realized that as well. You’re one of the few who hasn’t I guess. Try to win every single game, yes. But don’t be stupid and just waste 6 games on a journeyman, where you can get Allen more experience going into 2019.

Ed_Formerly_of_Roch Posted November 21, 2018 Share Posted November 21, 2018 When you consider that there's only one team in the conference with a worst record, the odds that they will all fall apart is rather low. There's five teams with a two game lead on us and three of those five have already beaten us. Recently I went back and looked, (to 2005 I think it was), there's only been one team at 8-8 that made the playoffs as a wild card. Surprisedly (or maybe not) there were more 8-8 teams that won their division than got in as a wild card. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSHMEAB Posted November 21, 2018 Share Posted November 21, 2018 If you're still watching the team, you haven't thrown away the lottery ticket. If you really believe this is a playoff team, you're going on a spending spree based on the billion to one chance that lotto ticket is a winner! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But think about it. They are 3-7. There is probably a 99 percent chance they don’t make the playoffs. So you got to ask yourself. Is there really that big difference between Barkley and Allen at this time? Probably not much if any. So go with the young potential franchise QB. If Allen wins games and they somehow make the playoffs? Fantastic. If he doesn’t play well and they miss out? Extremely good chance they would miss the playoffs with Barkley as well so might as well get Allen the experience and let him learn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
