Do me a favor when the Bills have struggles down the backstretch don't come here once and complain. I truly hope the Bills play lights out for the rest of the season and blow every opponent out. However, if I thought that was going to happen I'd be miserable after every loss. I knew the Bills probably couldnt beat the Eagles going into last week because of the disparity of both the defensive and offensive lines. I watched the game and hoped I was wrong, but I wasnt. Ill send you an invite to the seminar when they lose to the Browns, Ravens, Cowboys, and Patriots. I agree. Its because everything is based on week to week takes to try feed off of people's emotions. Its a long season, better to ride the wave. (1) I think you are mistaking "realist" with "pessimistic," unless, of course, you have some sort of omniscient ability nobody else on earth has. (2) "Do me a favor when the Bills have struggles down the backstretch don't come here once and complain" - I don't come on here and complain about the Bills, and I certainly never whine... (3) "I'd be miserable after every loss" - you apparently are miserable anyway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am pretty sure what I outlined in my post was about as close to the definition of realist as you can get. I look at the game, decide if I think they can win or not. If I dont think they can win, and they dont, I accept the situation for what it was. But I suppose you know me better than I do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Believing your argument is supported does not make you a realist. It just means you think your opinions are fair. Describing it as realist to make it sound reasonable is a fallacy. For the record, based on the arguments you’ve made, you’re a pessimist. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it is perfectly reasonable conclusion given the tone of your posts. It's not like I diagnosed you with a personality disorder... I think you assigning me as miserable, has more to do with you than it does me. I provided an opinion and backed it up with reason, for instance the parts you highlighted: The Bills are in trouble: They just lost to a 3-4 team 31-13, and mustered 169 passing yards when the Eagles were giving up over 300 yards a game coming in. The back half of their schedule includes games against teams with winning records, they havent shown they can beat teams like that, and they havent shown they can win games against bad teams cleanly. They also cleaned the Ravens clock. Do the Bills have a win like that yet this year? - The Bills havent beaten a winning team this year. And they are beating bad teams by an average of 5 points. They dont have a signature win this year. I I don't think the Bills are a very good team- The Bills average 19.1 points a game, thats three points under the league average. If you are less than average, you're not very good. If you consider their offense ranking for points per game 24th, to their defensive ranking 5th, they come out somewhere around 15th. A defense that just gave up 31 points at home. They beat bad teams, and not good teams. All of this tells me they are not a very good NFL team that is taking advantage of a favorable schedule. I don't think the Bills will score enough points to keep up with the Browns, Cowboys, Patriots, or Ravens, and they are going to have a hard fight to get into the playoffs: they are going to have a hard fight to get into the playoffs: The Bills are currently at 66% chance to make the playoffs. Cleveland, Baltimore, and Indianapolis all have favorable schedules, and Houston is a better team than the Bills. I would have a lot more confidence in a team that didnt struggle to get to 21 points.: There have been 120 games played in the NFL this year. 19.1 points would have won 18 of them. They will lose to Cleveland, Baltimore, Dallas, and New England: Give everything I've outlined above it is my opinion that this is a likely outcome. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Browns score fewer points per game than the Bills and have a lower ranked offense. They have both played 3 teams in the top half of the league in total defense. 2 minutes ago, thenorthremembers said: I don't "believe" my argument is supported. My argument is supported with facts.

The Browns are scoring as much as the Bills against a harder schedule. 3 minutes ago, billsfan1959 said: Shhhhhh.... May want to check the facts there guy.

I have nothing against the Browns, i feel bad for their fans- I just don’t see much from them that would give me optimism they they roll off 8 wins and go to the playoffs - either on the stat sheet or watching them play. They could lose to anyone with the play of the QB and the performance of the HC alone. It has nothing to do with the Bills, just my observation of them thus far. They really need to get it together. Cowherd agrees with you though. I do think they beat Denver. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BTW, as much as you want them to be, your opinions are not facts. They are merely opinions. However, it is clear your “facts” lead you to the conclusion this team is not very good, they are not going to win many more games, and they will not make the playoffs. So, why don’t you save yourself the misery and heartache you have convinced yourself is the only thing thing waiting for you as a Bill’s fan and take the rest of the year off? There is always next year and potential happiness for you... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cowherd agrees with you though. I do think they beat Denver. I think their coach was a horrendous hire. But, I think the team overall is more talented. Overall I see both teams as average, and if Buffalo had Cleveland's schedule I dont think its unfair to say they would have been 2-5. That said, if the Bills remaining schedule was Denver, Cleveland, Pittsburgh, Miami, Pittsburgh, Cinci, Arizona, Baltimore, Cinci- I imagine a lot of fans here would expect them to be 8-1 or 7-2.
