The only difference to the OP is the number of games left. "Is it better to win X meaningless games left on our schedule or have some sweet sweet losses for that next best player ever?" I don't know or care. The lockerroom and coach play to win.. maybe the GM prefers a loss. We can simply watch and hope to have fun on Sunday. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Win-Win for NE. 5 hours ago, RevWarRifleman said: May attitude has been that you always go into a game to win. The franchise has had enough losing over the decades as it is. Moreover, to build a "culture" of winning, by having an attitude that you're going to win is part of all that. Getting all involved in that Harry High school horsedoo about draft position next spring and this vs that is a waste of time! Half these guys won't even be on the team. There were players on the Super Bowl teams who hated losing because they lost so many games in the mid 1980s. This building a culture of winning by winning games when you still finish under .500 is BS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TigerJ Posted December 10, 2018 Share Posted December 10, 2018 I think they will win one game. 5-11 will get them a very high draft pick - possibly top 5. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The team will try to win, I would prefer losses, but with consistent improvement from Josh Allen. In a few weeks this season will be over for us, and all that we will have to show for the entirety of it is a cleared out salary cap, Josh Allen's hoped for improvement, and a high draft slot in 2019.

I would not be surprised . Meaningless games ? lose out for a better draft pick or use the 3 games as preseason for 2019 ? Here are the things that are CERTAIN: Bills will 100% TRY and WIN the remaining three games. They SHOULD TRY and win all three games, you don't build a new culture around your young players by throwing games. However, they probably dont win all 3. I won't ever be mad if they win, especially with us being a young team and them learning how to win. However, my personal preference is to see Allen keep learning and growing while losing close games to better our draft slot. I will never ever root for them to lose, but if you ask me and most Bills fan, the best outcome for the long term success of the team is to draft as high as possible this year. For instance, when the Jets scored the go ahead TD, my thoughts were good. Gives Josh a chance to get more late game experience needing to drive to win for him to learn from, and if he doesn't succeed it helps our draft slot. Why anyone cares about winning right now is puzzling to me. Literally the only thing that matters is that Josh continues to develop. He will learn from the failures and mistakes as much as he will from the successes out there. So keep the games fun, lose close games, and lets build around this kid to really seriously contend for the division crown next year. In all honesty, I really do fully expect to win the division next year. Our defense is already good enough for that, and Allen's convinced me that he is not only the right guy, but will make big strides next year once we improve what's around him on the offense.

That’s the point, the seed isn’t locked in, they want the 2nd seed, so therefore will be playing to win. 1 hour ago, Albany,n.y. said: If the Pats playoff position is locked in, they tank the last game by resting the starters & screw the Jets draft.

While the Pats play Pittsburgh, Bills and Jets. It’s possible they lose one of those. They will be playing all 3 to win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlCowlingsTaxiService Posted December 10, 2018 Share Posted December 10, 2018 Do NOT, under any circumstances, win out. NO. WINNING. OUT. While wins are "nice", this team NEEDS either the ability to draft a BLUE CHIP defensive prospect, or the collateral to trade out and accumulate picks. I prefer they lose out in entertaining fashion with Allen showing great promise for the future. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BuffaloHokie13 Posted December 10, 2018 Share Posted December 10, 2018 They're now doing what I expected from the beginning of the year. Showing some positive signs and some promise, playing competitive games, but coming up short. I'm okay with it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully game will mean something for that, and they will have to play their starters, and we can physically beat the crap out of some of their top players Start with Brady, then Gronk, then Michel, then Gilmore.

No, they will not win the next 3 games. The best thing for them would be to lose all 3. They have a real chance here to finish in the top 5 without trading up. If you want a bunch of linemen to continue the Josh Allen experiment, you get a top 5 pick, trade down with a QB desperate team and pick your O-Linemen later in the first and subsequent rounds. Your profile picture is odd. I'm surprised that Josh Allen would willingly hold up a jersey with that name on the back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaBillsFanSince1973 Posted December 10, 2018 Share Posted December 10, 2018 they'll finish 4-12 following a 5 game losing streak to end the season. one can only hope they manage to put a contender out on the field next season? with the cheap shots yesterday and no calls along with the way the league has become with the refs/penalties/bad calls, I'm not sure I can tolerate the nfl anymore.

Since that first game with Bledsoe against Brady the Bill have won one game when Brady started and finished (in a meaningful game). Sure it would be great if it happened but dont hold your breath.

Ed_Formerly_of_Roch Posted December 10, 2018 Share Posted December 10, 2018 Would be a certain irony if the last game determines Miami's chance for the playoffs. Last season the Bills last game was in Miami which they won to make the playoffs, this could be pay back one way or the other. But overall wouldn't be unhappy with 3 losses. The Detroit game may be the most winnable of the three. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brianmoorman4jesus Posted December 11, 2018 Share Posted December 11, 2018 I expect the Bills to go 0-3. 3 weeks ago I thought if we could have found a way to get to 7-7, we could still maybe get in. We had 4 very winnable games ahead and all we do is choke. If you are counting on this team to do anything but lose, you will be disappointed.

The Senator Posted December 11, 2018 Share Posted December 11, 2018 Of course I hope we win out, but I’d be happy just to see the team go out playing to the very best of their ability, and let the chips fall where they may.
