Patriot Week - Would losing this week be the most disappointing since McDermott took over?


Recommended Posts

Very simply, the Bills lose Sunday and I will annoint it as bad a loss as any since McD became coach.  Forget the blowouts & playoff losses, the Bills can not afford to lose to the Patriots this week.

 

I can't think of a game that will bother me more then if they get beaten by Belichek again.

I can definitely think of four losses that were more disappointing

From all posts you made I assume all games bother you so what is the difference?

Not now that they throw for 300+!!!!!!😜

 

Did I complain about the anything before the Tennessee game this year?

Why does everything need to be superlative all the time? “Most ever” “worst ever” “signature win” “best dressed”... Just let it happen, man. Not like anyone here has a lick of influence on the outcome anyway.

If Josh passes for 300 yards you will be happy though.

Because this really should be a Bills win and after years of being the Pats whipping boy, no Brady and how the Pats have looked since the Raiders game, this is one the Bills need to win (and dominate).

IMHO, with the Bills playing as well and the Pats playing as bad as they have this season, this game becomes just another game on our schedule. Sure it's an important game because it's a division game but it's on equal footing with games against the Jets and the Dolphins. It is NOT the yardstick many want to make it about the "greatness" of our beloved Bills. Beating the Pats will give me the same sort of satisfaction as beating the Dolphins after the 0 for 70's. While I fully agree with the old adage of if you want to be the "best" you have to beat the "best" this year the title of "best" belongs to the Chiefs, Steelers, Titans certainly not the Pats. While beating the Pats will give me a certain amount of satisfaction of getting the monkey off our backs ... and shutting up the "national" talking head experts about any possibility of the Pats still taking the division ... it will tell me more about the decline of the Pats than it will about the rise of the Bills.

Because that's how spectator sports have us wired. Why would anyone post anything on this board if we weren't interested in all those superlatives and perceived rankings? We'd just watch the game and have threads about magnificent young athletes doing remarkable things. Oh, there's a few of those ... maybe 2 percent of all threads?

It seems pretty obvious that the plan has always been for 2020 to be the year that the Bills step up and win the division and establish themselves as a playoff team not just this year but for the foreseeable future.  I feel pretty good about the "playoff team for the foreseeable future" part because of #17's development, but to be honest it would be very disappointing to lose to NE this week when we're supposed to be ripping the division out of their cheating hands.  So yeah I think the OP has a pretty good point.

Part of this "believe in the process" is baby steps. The first goal was developing our 1st round qb. And I think we're almost there. The next goal has to be taking yearly control of the division. You can't just skip that and expect to jump right to beating KC and winning SB'S.  Baby steps.

This. This board has become such a drama crybaby forum. Josh is the worst, this defense is the worst, mcd is overrated, fire beane. The last loss was terrible but the next one is the worst ever. Jesus. Xanax for all.
