thetaxicabdriver 16 Posted December 11, 2020 Share Posted December 11, 2020 If the bills beat Pitt on Sunday and get to within 1 game of the # 2 seed and 2 games within the #1 seed, could the argument be made that it would be the biggest win in the last 20 years? Beating the top team in the league, and really cementing their place in the AFC Hierarchy? What victories would y'all put ahead of it? 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Probably Cincinnati beating the Ravens would top this. 10 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Albany,n.y. 1,856 Posted December 11, 2020 Share Posted December 11, 2020 Since recent memory is of a losing team, technically the OP's question could be answered yes, but realistically, the answer is a regular season game when the team is 9-3 really isn't a big win. Big wins come in the post-season. 4 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

A win in prime time would be nice, but unless a number of things go right we probably won’t clinch the playoffs or the division Quote Link to post Share on other sites

BUFFALOBART 839 Posted December 11, 2020 Share Posted December 11, 2020 My only concern about this game, is Allen's knee/ankle being a target of that defense. The Steeler's 'leveled the playing field' by knocking Don Beebe unconscious, after he torched the Steeler's 'D', in the previous contest. (52-34) Quote Link to post Share on other sites

If we don’t clinch, it’s all but losing out and a million other things falling into place. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

CEN-CAL17 1,344 Posted December 12, 2020 Share Posted December 12, 2020 This game should provide a lot of legitimacy. The Bills are still being second guessed. If they lose, everyone says, they are a good team, just not legit. Beat Pittsburgh and everyone says, they are a team to contend for a championship. Pittsburgh is beatable... Buffalo just needs to get pressure on Roethlisberger.... 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
downunderbill 413 Posted December 12, 2020 Share Posted December 12, 2020 If the chips fall and Buffalo clinch a spot this week then I'd say yes... Until the playoffs that is. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Augie 17,680 Posted December 12, 2020 Share Posted December 12, 2020 Biggest win? Only if I can see it. TEGNA has blocked my viewing of NBC, and if I can’t see it, it doesn’t count! (See that thread - hoping the NBC Sports app works out) They sure picked a lousy game to mess with Bills fans!!! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Saint Doug 356 Posted December 12, 2020 Share Posted December 12, 2020 Will a win this Sunday make us forget how the Steelers 3td stringers beat us in 2016 to keep us out the playoffs? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sharky7337 482 Posted December 12, 2020 Share Posted December 12, 2020 I think so we haven't showed that we can beat other top afc teams yet. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Rc2catch 4,073 Posted December 12, 2020 Share Posted December 12, 2020 I actually would rank the thanksgiving game bigger if we beat Pittsburgh. However if we do win I think it takes the Bills to a bigger threat on the national stage. We win this one and the momentum is huge 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Raves loss, Miami loss, Indy win and a Patriot loss. 1 of 4 down. Still need a lot of help to clich on Sunday Quote Link to post Share on other sites

We're going against an 11-1 healthy team this year. Much different litmus test. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
