Fan in San Diego Posted October 25, 2019 Share Posted October 25, 2019 13 hours ago, BillsBlue said: I agree it's a big game, I'll be there in attendance, to me this game is similar to the Bengals game, this is a middling opponent that can get hot and we get a chance to see if our team is smoke and mirrors or if it handles business again against an average team(not great not terrible but average). This game will reveal alot about what the team is made of. If we come out and roll over them we are completely legit imo. If we struggle a lot I might begin worrying about some of the other games on our schedule a bit more....what really is important to me is this is another good bit of practice for the offense to further figure things out and tune up for New England week 16 and the other tougher teams on our schedule jmo Philly is going to be scrapping for their season. This is a must win for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
longtimebillsfan Posted October 25, 2019 Share Posted October 25, 2019 (edited) Please talk me off the ledge. After the Bills struggles last week against a pathetic Dolphins team, it seems like we could get humiliated this we by the Eagles. This game feels like so many other "test" games in the past where we started out the season strong only to get "exposed" as a fraud and our season comes crashing down. I know we have different management and players. We have a closely bonded team and a new focus, but this feels like deja vu.

Sammy Watkins' Rib Posted October 25, 2019 Share Posted October 25, 2019 To me it is huge because we all have the memory of starting 5-1 in 2008 and missing the playoffs. Can't recall ever starting 6-1 and missing the playoffs. Also, 6-1 would be our best start to a season since the super bowl days. We need to get over that hump.

dpberr Posted October 25, 2019 Share Posted October 25, 2019 I'll be in the minority and agree with the OP here. ? It's a very big game for the psyche of the PTSD-stricken Bills fanbase and the Bills media. This game could be quite the confidence builder for team and fans. There is an entire generation of Bills fans who have no concept of the Bills being 6-1. If the Bills win, we all will feel that *this* season might just be different. The media (outside Philadelphia) loves the Eagles, their "brilliant" coach and "shrewd" GM and the talking heads all had this team as a Super Bowl contender at the beginning of the year. If the Bills lose, we're going to think it's 2008 all over again and questioning whether the media is right - that we're a mediocre 5-2 team. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BmarvB Posted October 25, 2019 Share Posted October 25, 2019 (edited) It would be great to be 6-1 with a win over a quality team but they won't beat Philly or anybody else (except Washington) playing like they did against Miami in the first half.

clayboy54 Posted October 25, 2019 Share Posted October 25, 2019 Right now the Bills are in control of their own destiny. If they continue to win, nobody can knock them out of the playoffs. If all the AFC's 4-win teams lose, we maintain or extend that lead. Sure, there are 10 games left, so you have to win every one that you can. While I doubt we'll win out, we have to do our jobs and take every opportunity we can to improve the record. Our job as fans is to make it as uncomfortable as possible for the visitors coming into New Era. It is almost certain that none of the AFC's 4-win teams will win out either. But, we don't want to have to depend on somebody losing to make the playoffs. So yes, this is a big game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BITE ME Posted October 25, 2019 Share Posted October 25, 2019 It isn't that big of a game. Let's face it, the Bills are heading to the playoffs as a wild card team. 10-6 or 14-2 or whatever. They can lose this game and be fine. The biggest game of the year will be Wild Card week 1, then the Divisional playoff, etc. They are too good of a team and the schedule is just too weak for them to not make the playoffs. They would make it even if they lost Josh Allen. They are not beating the Patriots though unless they add an offensive weapon. That is just the reality of it. The Pats made a move and got a wide receiver. The Bills need to make a move or they won't even be competitive with the Patriots. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Augie Posted October 25, 2019 Share Posted October 25, 2019 The next game is always the most important game. One game at a time....... We can’t change the Patriots* game, and we can’t play the Redskins yet. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

auburnbillsbacker Posted October 26, 2019 Share Posted October 26, 2019 The Tennessee game was bigger in my opinion. The Titans have been in the playoffs recently and it was a conference game. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OldTimeAFLGuy Posted October 26, 2019 Share Posted October 26, 2019 23 hours ago, Chandler#81 said: I smirked when I first saw this thread? but Manned up to read it. Every bit as disappointing as anticipated. The ‘most important game of a season’ is only determined in hindsight. If we’re victorious Sunday, does that then mean the Redskins are the new Most Important? Larry Felser (R.I.P.) said it best prior to the Home game vs. Miami in late December ‘90. We’d lost Kelly to an injury & Reich would be leading us in “the biggest game to date in team History”. He wasn’t forgetting ‘64-‘66. Those were AFL days. We won the game and the Division. That made the Home playoff game against the same Dolphins “ the new biggest game”. Winning that made the AFC Championship Game vs Raiders the new “biggest game”. And so on and so on. The Only thing that happens with a loss Sunday to an out of conference opponent still in the 1st half of the season will be ‘I told ya so’ claims by attention seekers. Will a loss to Philadelphia dictate a loss the following week? You know the answer to this, OP. ? #KT just win the damn thing....a loss at home will have the national urinalists spouting "see I told you they're not that good" and this place goes into "Monday Meltdown"........

Mr. WEO Posted October 26, 2019 Share Posted October 26, 2019 On 10/24/2019 at 11:00 PM, Nihilarian said: All regular season games are important and this is a against a team that is reeling at 3-4. Especially after their HC says they will beat the Cowboys and the get trounced. The Eagles offense is mediocre as is their defense. Offense 14th PF, 23rd Yards. Defense 24th PA, 18th yards allowed. This team has some fans thinking that they should have kept Foles. Easily the second best team they have faced this season. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luckily Sean has more class than Jim Harbaugh. 3 minutes ago, Mr. WEO said: Easily the second best team they have faced this season. I don't think they are a lot better than the Titans - I think they are a bit - but they are a much more dangerous match up for Buffalo. I never saw how Tenn could move the ball on us and indeed I said that week we might only need 14 to win and so it proved. Philadelphia I can see moving the ball and the biggest weakness of their defense is to the deep ball which so far this season is the weakness of the Bills O. That said I think the Bills are a more complete team and will win. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
