But it is not a game they should take lightly because the Bengals can score ... GO BILLS !! they are above the worst third of the NFL, we’ll see next week how things stand against the top third Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ethan in Cleveland Posted September 22, 2019 Share Posted September 22, 2019 In 12 weeks we will look back and see that the playoffs were earned on that final drive. Now we need to root for Bengals against the rest of the AFC North. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, you see how little energy I thought replying to this dumb idea was worth. Didn't check it even once. Must-wins are must wins. If you can lose and then have even a theoretical chance at making the playoffs it's not a must win. An important game? Yeah, maybe. A game with major implications? Sure, possibly. There's a million ways to say it, but must-win is the usual over-exaggeration, especially this early.

Now we need to root for Bengals against the rest of the AFC North. Rubbish. If we do look back at the end of the season and see we just barely made the playoffs, it will have been all 10 wins that got us there, not any particular one of them and certainly not one from the beginning of the season. In that case, if we go into week 17 knowing that a loss will eliminate us, that final game and that game only will be a must-win.

Rockinon Posted September 24, 2019 Share Posted September 24, 2019 If there was a game that is a must win, this is it. 3-0 and here come the defending superbowl champs that have dominated the league for waaaay to long. The upstart Bills in their own house and on fire should want this game waaaay more than the Patsies. They don't care about the history the Brady lead Patriots have. They care about forging their own mark in the history books. What better way than to dethrone the dynasty in spectacular fashion. This isn't just a win for the city of Buffalo. The whole nation will be rooting for the Bills to topple the Patriots on Sunday. To move out in front in the standings and defeating NE would be the ultimate statement. You know you are thinking it. If you want to talk about must win, that is..... Oh yea, this is the one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is one of 4 games this year that we can safely lose without affecting our chances at all (the other 3 are Pats again, Eagles, and Cowboys). I'm not stressed about this one. A win would be amazing but a loss doesn't change our direction. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GreggTX Posted September 25, 2019 Share Posted September 25, 2019 (edited) I don't see this game as a must win and no rational person expects the Bills to win. The Pats will go 2-0 on us yet again and we'll still be in the chase for a wildcard. If we win, on the other hand, we (especially Josh) must clean up all the mistakes. IF we win, it will herald a new era and Bills fans will lie and say they were there lol. It would be one for the ages.

Boatdrinks Posted September 25, 2019 Share Posted September 25, 2019 Definitely not a must win for the Bills after their 3-0 start. The must wins are coming up , with three of the next 4 at home. That stretch will have a lot to do with the Bills postseason hopes in 2019, as it gets a bit tougher after that. Building up a cushion of wins there will provide a realistic path to the playoffs in the back half of the season. If the Bills stumble in that stretch, the prospects of a .500 type season rears it’s head. A win vs New England at home right now would be huge for their upward trajectory, but about as far from a must in as possible. Unless, of course you are holding onto hopes of winning the AFCE.

The Dean Posted September 25, 2019 Share Posted September 25, 2019 It's the 4th game of the season. Labeling it a "must win" stips the term of any specific meaning. In no way whatsoever is this "Must Win" game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mango Posted September 25, 2019 Share Posted September 25, 2019 The team is 3-0, albeit closer than we would like to 1-2, but at least they won, which is at least some change compared to other years....even the last two. I actually think that TEN is a must win. Win or lose vs. NE we will be viewed as over achieving or under achieving. We are in a similar tier to the Titans. We either come off really high or really low against them, either way, we have to win another AFC game on the road we have to win. We need to build some wins against better similar teams on the road to come out of the WAS, PHI, CLE run. All teams I think that are similar to BUF. If we can beat the Titans, and come out of that 3 game stretch 2-1, we are right as rain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rockinon Posted September 25, 2019 Share Posted September 25, 2019 Knocking NE out now and significantly increasing your chance of winning the division isn't a must win? Against the same team that has dominated not only us but everyone else in our division over the last decade? If you guys don't see this as a must win, I can't help you. Being the team that actually ends the dynasty, that is what I call must win. Go big or go home folks. The objective is to win the superbowl. It is not to just merely make the playoffs. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Success Posted September 25, 2019 Share Posted September 25, 2019 Probably a must win if there is any hope of taking the division. Not for playoff hopes in general, though. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
