NE is not a top team, they look like garbage right now. McClappity had two chances to beat a couple top teams, he turtled in both of them. As he will likely do against the SeaHawks and Steelers... Aww so the Titans win on the road against the future AFC championship team does count, LA Rams don’t get to count. If you are not happy - go root for Seattle or Pittsburgh and get out of here, but no you need to troll - so have fun. As I said even if we win those games you will find a way to belittle the victories- so it does not matter. Win games - make the playoffs and keep getting better.

Greg S Posted October 26, 2020 Share Posted October 26, 2020 I don't know if I would call beating NE a signature win this week. The dynasty is dead and this Pats team isn't very good. I think the Bills need to win the division and a playoff game to show progress. I don't see them going to or winning a Super Bowl this year as KC, Pitt, Ten, Bal are just better teams.

The Rams are about to be 5-2 in the toughest division in football. I cannot believe you don't think they are a good team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I expect the Bills to play better vs. the worst team in football, nowhere near miserable lol. If one were miserable they would not engage at all. Seriously, some if you need to get off your high horse... Aww - except Trolls engage - which is why you are here - if the Bills blew the Jets out - we would have a peaceful week without you trolling, but just another in a long line of wins means we get to enjoy your takes for another week. 1 minute ago, Gene1973 said: They are, but is a signature win almost melting down? Maybe it is for some, not me... A win is not always just a win, it's how you win that can be projected towards greater success in the future. These last 3 weeks is proof of that! See moving goalposts - now it is not a signature win, but one that satisfies a troll - nearly impossible, but have fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Getting a “signature” win for this team is tough because trollish fans want to move the goalposts after each game. Let’s see we went on the road in 2018 as huge underdogs to Minnesota (a team that was in the NFC championship game the year before) and dominated them as one of the biggest underdogs to outright win a game with several signature plays, but that gets pushed aside. Last year we go on the road and beat Tennessee (a team that went to the AFC championship and should of beat KC) - a signature win - maybe for some fan bases, but not you. Pittsburgh/Dallas in prime time - both games propel us to the playoffs, but our wins knocked them out - both wins on the road and both as slight dogs. Going through your criteria the Bills have several wins that hit you definition- they have dominated games in all 3 phases, they have road wins against frequent playoff teams, gutty come from behind wins, putting first or critical losses on teams, but they do not seem to count for you. The issue is after each of wins - trolling fans find reasons to lessen the Bills wins and the same thing will happen with the next 3 games. If they beat the Pats does it mean anything? That would move them to 2-5 and therefore mean nothing once done. Seattle is no longer unbeaten and could be on a 2 game losing streak when we play. The Cardinals are so up and down that if we win by the end of the year it might be meaningless. Just relax and enjoy another playoff year and see where it goes. That Tennessee game was a result of 4 missed FG's. Yes it was a nice win, the Defense played well but was game 5 vs. a team at the time that was 2-2. They made the playoffs @ 9-7. If you want to call that a signature win, boy the bar is low. They beat Duck Hodges, who was just terrible. Dallas is a dumpster fire & yes it was Thanksgiving, but again the Bills went into the game with the better record (Dallas was 6-5). Winning a signature game is against an elite team when they are up and ready to play you. Conversely the Bills haven't had too many of those games.

So now the game has to be later in the season to be signature, but can’t come on the road against a perennial playoff team that rarely loses at home because they are playing a back-up QB that was starting most of the season and the team was favored and which ever team wins goes to the playoffs. The game also can’t come as the premier Thanksgiving game on the road against a team that historically plays well in that spot and was shooting for another playoff spot until we beat them to help keep them from making the playoffs. The rules for a signature win are tough - do we get an automatic bye? Does it somehow make us winning the division easier? Win games, make the playoffs, get better and find ways to improve.

Duck Hodges was in because Kyle Rudolph was injured if I remember. Tennessee was not a good team when they played them early in the season and ended the season 9-7..... Wow also anothe rvictory over an 8-8 team (Dallas) is considered a big one. Miami beating NE last year knocking them from a bye in NE is a signature win. Minnesotta was 8-7-1 the year the Bills beat them..... Sure Atl was 3-0 in 2017...... Let's call that the signature win..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A win is not always just a win, it's how you win that can be projected towards greater success in the future. These last 3 weeks is proof of that! Its a signature win for me because it showed we can finally win shoot outs. Something we haven’t seen since a half a year with Bledsoe. We aren’t the only ones who are blowing leads. It happens every year. It wasn’t a fluke win, we outgunned a Sean McVay offense. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure, let's call it the closest thing to a signature win..... This year the Bills have games vs. Seattle (atrocious defense), Pitt & let's say 49ers & Arizona.... Want to see at worst 2-2.
