Hebert19 Posted October 28, 2019 Share Posted October 28, 2019 NFC loss which doesn't hurt us. Browns lost. Raiders lost And pulling for a chiefs loss. Net net is we still lead for wildcard spot with a very winnable game next week. Playoffs are still in our control and now we just need to face some adversity for the first time... 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr.Sack Posted October 28, 2019 Share Posted October 28, 2019 Good view point. On the contrary we did lose another game on NE as they now stand 8-0 to our 5-2. Of course many will say we aren’t going to win the division against an all time great NE defense and efficient offense but there’s still 9 weeks left. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wvbillsfan Posted October 28, 2019 Share Posted October 28, 2019 It’s the NFL almost every team has one of these games a year. Eagles played well. It’s not like they are a nobody. They beat the Packers and have been in every game but the cowboys game. Their weakness was helped by the weather today. Let’s beat Washington and get to 6-2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If more of your wins are AFC wins, It gives a slight advantage in terms of tie breakers for a wild card spot, but a loss is never better than a win.

HurlyBurly51 Posted October 28, 2019 Share Posted October 28, 2019 Getting beat down like that in your own backyard is humiliating. We’ll see if this team is different with how they respond to adversity with a very beatable opponent. Lord knows they didn’t respond well today after that fumble. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doc Brown Posted October 28, 2019 Share Posted October 28, 2019 We almost lost to the Bengals and Dolphins at home. We could easily be at least 4-3 with a tougher schedule coming up. I'm fine with 5-2 and hopefully 6-2 after next week. Sometimes you need a good spanking to get back on track. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we had a world class special teams coach we wldve avoided that blocked punt TD and beaten the Pats. Or a head coach that knows how to call a timeout when he sees a play about to blow up in his face. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thurman#1 Posted October 28, 2019 Share Posted October 28, 2019 Of course it hurts us. We're now just about out of contention for the division. And we have one more loss than we would have otherwise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boatdrinks Posted October 28, 2019 Share Posted October 28, 2019 It’s an NFC loss, sure so not as damaging. It exposed many cracks in the Bills scheme, though. That’s worrisome going forward. The good news is there are a lot of mediocre teams in the NFL and many of them are on the Bills schedule. They weren’t winning the division anyway, and you could probably say that for about 26 other teams if they resided in the AFCE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FreeMaxB585 Posted October 28, 2019 Share Posted October 28, 2019 the issue is we have beaten the most garbage teams in the league and got beat down by a decent one. we are lucky we were given the easiest schedule ever and still have easy games ahead Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Houston's #1 Bills Fan Posted October 28, 2019 Share Posted October 28, 2019 Shining the national spotlight on the Bills always seems to produce horrific games. I'd prefer no nationally televised games including Sunday, Monday or Thursday nighters! And let's not flex that Patriots/Bills "showdown" in December, either!!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
