The Bills had to come from behind in a few of their wins against the same teams. You mean like they did against the Jets? Oh, wait, they lost to them when the Jets had zero wins? The Cowboys have actually become infamous this year for their slow starts. This past week, they beat the Lions by 7. Oddly enough, aside from the team we just blew out last week, their only true blowout was against that 5-5 team. The Cowboys should not be ranked higher than the Bills (not that it matters and I should not get as mad as I do when I see it happen), but here we are. 21 minutes ago, ganesh said: I think they have dominated some of those opponents...something the Bills haven't done except against the Dolphins...Even there we scored 3 FGs instead of TDs in the 1st half. They have not. Only the same Dolphins, and oddly enough the Eagles. They pulled away from the Giants twice (as we did), beat the Redskins by 5 fewer points than we did, and beat the Lions by 7. If we're going to take the side of other teams, let's get the facts right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Billsatlastin2018 Posted November 24, 2019 Share Posted November 24, 2019 There is a highly obnoxious, racist old, Cowgirls $#@& at the bar my posse goes to watch the Bills! He gets preferential treatment (sound of the game), because he’s been there longer. On the days that the Bills are up and the Girls are down, I yell out... for the entire bar to hear: ”How bout them Cowgirls?” Unfortunately on Thursday, we will be making our Granddaughter’s first Yankee Thanksgiving Dinner at her home! (If the Bills are pulling the upset, I may call the bar and ask to speak to him!??????????) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Protocal69 Posted November 24, 2019 Share Posted November 24, 2019 I’ll tell you what is. When a team wins with defense and little to no offense then people are more doubtful about said team than when a team wins with offense and some defense.

Maybe if they were 8-2 the media might dissect them more. The narrative I see is nobody believes they are that good and Garrett is a below average coach. Almost all media has Green Bay, San Fran, and New Orleans as better teams and probably Seattle too. Can Bills beat them. Yes. But they are a matchup nightmare. Big oline, great RB and a QB that doesn’t turn the ball over. And in Dallas on Thanksgiving is a hard lie -- but we've only been blown out in one game, and Thursday games when both teams have no rest can be plain weird. The Run D has been more unpredictable than it's been bad, so hopefully the good Run D -- the one of the first five games, last week, and a few unlikely second halves -- shows up. If we play like the first half of the homestand+Browns game, yes, Zeke will eat us alive. We should have a good chance to win this game, but it's a scary start to a scary 4-game stretch. But good teams win some of these games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like others have said, if they can not win at Pittsburgh or one of the others they probably don’t deserve a playoff spot. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
without a drought Posted November 24, 2019 Share Posted November 24, 2019 If they beat the Pats, we can drop this whole thing. Then we can drop the Bills weak schedule talk after they beat the Cowboys on Thanksgiving. Problem solved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not so much ‘creepy’ as waiting for ‘Ninja Augie’ to go off. Never mind the Nobel Peace Prize you won, and rescue mission you mounted to the ISS using only a kettle and a string. ? I would NEVER “toss” my sister down the stairs! That would be a horrible thing to do! I may have grabbed her by the ankle once, then run down the stairs with her bouncing and screaming behind me, but I’m sure I had my reasons. The highlight, however, was when I called her a B word explaining it to my dad, and he told me it didn’t prove a #&*@ thing to swear! Ah.......good times! ?

Yes, we all know you don't get to pick your schedule, but just because you can get all your wins against bad teams, doesn't mean everyone has to be impressed and declare you a SB contender. Right now people have looked at their record and opponents and feel that after watching their performances in the games, their easy schedule is why they have the record they do, not because they are just really good. As for the Cowboys, they aren't getting much praise either, but they get some respect because they aren't really struggling to get their wins like many of the Bills games, and their confidence in that team that they could still win a game if it turns into a shoot out. They only have 2 games where they have scored less than 20 points this season and haven't really been blown out either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Losing in NE***** should not have been when Jerruh should have thrown the coach under the bus. If they lose to the Bills then Jerruh has an excuse... The Bills Offense is not proven and they haven't beaten a winner either so.... IF Dallas wins against the Bills ... It was only the Bills. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
