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. But you CAN win the division and still lose twice to the Pats ... just sayin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billsfan1972 Posted October 26, 2020 Author Share Posted October 26, 2020 (edited) Again it is just that it is the Patrs and narrative is there. A loss Sunday and yes it will be a national story and a good guffaw for all non-Bills fans. 20 minutes ago, Rigotz said: Call me crazy, but I think losing a playoff game after taking a 16-0 lead is more disappointing than losing to a 2-5 team in the division. Because that was the Bills modus operandi the past 3 years with McD. score 14-20 points, relax come the third quarter and hope to hang on. Disappointing as that was, it was not unexpected.

quinnearlysghost88 Posted October 26, 2020 Share Posted October 26, 2020 Why do we do this? Why do we ascribe so much more importance on certain games? I have a friend who’s not a Bills fan and as an outsider is confused as to why we have like 7 personal Super Bowls every season. It’s another week. It doesn’t matter that it’s the Pats or prime time or that the Jets are 0-6 or a revenge game. They’re all equally must wins. We don’t get extra points for story lines we made up in our heads. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just let it happen, man. Not like anyone here has a lick of influence on the outcome anyway. That's a perfectly acceptable attitude to adopt, but it does make me wonder why a person who has adopted such an attitude would spend much time at a discussion forum. We're here to discuss things, churn them around, kick the can a bit. Why not just watch the game, enjoy it for what it is, and turn the whole thing off when the game is over?! 🤔 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DabillsDaBillsDaBills Posted October 26, 2020 Share Posted October 26, 2020 As far as my personal expectations go this would have to be the worst loss of Mcdermotts tenure. He's winless in 6 attempts vs the evil empire. With no Brady and all the COVID optouts this has to be the worst the Patriots have looked since the 90's. Conversely, this is the best the Bills have looked since the 90s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nedboy7 Posted October 26, 2020 Share Posted October 26, 2020 Losing to the Jets would have been worse. Belichick can beat you with a high school football team. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

schoolhouserock Posted October 26, 2020 Share Posted October 26, 2020 Yes, let’s not talk about how great it would be to beat the Patriots*, greatly magnifying the Bills’ chances of winning the division. Instead, let’s talk about how much it would suck to lose. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You’ve done this under multiple user names now. Pumping up Miami. Expecting losing streaks. High level business meetings, etc. it’s kind of amusing until you actually allow yourself to think about it. This is entertainment for you. Yikes. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hapless Bills Fan Posted October 26, 2020 Share Posted October 26, 2020 No. Losing the playoff game to the Texans after we took a 13-0 lead into halftime and a 16-8 lead into the 4th Q was the most disappointing game so far. Second place, the loss to the Ravens. They were so explosive, and McD's D did such a good job shutting them down to let us back in it, and we came so close to tieing it at the end. At this point, we are playing backup OLmen on both sides at guard, our run game is nonexistent, we're missing our #2 WR and our nominally #1 TE, our Defense apparently can't stop a Nosebleed, and Belicheck perennially pwns McD So while I badly, badly want to see us win....it wouldn't be the most disappointing to me personally 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I will enjoy the fact that the Bills are 5-2 (3-0 in the division) with a chance to go 6-2 (4-0). If you can't enjoy winning seasons then what is the point of being a fan. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's because some folks are looking beyond the record at more critical indicators of team quality, looking at the schedule, comparing it to the very easy one we had to start the season, and realizing we have a very tough row to hoe. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From reports he was a troll with multiple aliases on BBMB before it was closed down and patients left on street without medication. @JetsFan20 seems more of a fan than him.

dpberr Posted October 26, 2020 Share Posted October 26, 2020 Run up the score or die trying. When BB hears a coach speak of "character" wins, he spots an easy mark. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
