Catholic Guilt Posted December 18, 2006 Share Posted December 18, 2006 For me - the Detroit game. They are a horrible team. How did we lose to them? Remember two years ago when Jacksonville beat us on opening day? The last play of the game? That was my what if game for the 2004 season. We really could have used that win.

Zona Posted December 18, 2006 Share Posted December 18, 2006 Yes on Detroit, but I think the first jets game is the ONE. How do you lose when you throw for 320 and run for 130ish? We let them BOTH slip away. How nice would it be to be 9-5 right now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MartyBall4Buffalo Posted December 18, 2006 Share Posted December 18, 2006 First Ne game. I never felt we had a chance to win the 1st jets game or the detroit game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
My Friends Call Me Tebucky Posted December 18, 2006 Share Posted December 18, 2006 All of them except the Chicago and second New England game, in a way. But this season isn't about making the playoffs- yes, it would be nice, but it's about them learning how to win. Losing the Detroit, NYJ, Indy, and first NE game all hurt them, but it's a young team and they seem to have turned those heartbreaking losses into lessons. Bills teams from 2000-2005 would have found a way to lose the Texans and Jags games. They seem to be able to win those now, and that's a huge step for a developing team.

gmac17 Posted December 18, 2006 Share Posted December 18, 2006 at the same time, we won two very close games at the end that we easily could have lost (and those teams are right now saying "if we only didn't lose to Buffalo") Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Catholic Guilt Posted December 18, 2006 Author Share Posted December 18, 2006 And we only lost to San Diego by 3 and Indy by 1. The future is looking bright... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We really could have used that win. 870129[/snapback] Actually None. Our record is what we are. We were lucky to win a few games and unlucky to lose a few....In the end we did not make enough plays against NE, Jets at home and at Detroit. However, we made plays at the end of the game against Jax, Houston. I am happy at the progress this team has made, especially considering that we were 3-6 at one point of the season. Now to go and re-sign some of these players and have a good draft.... Oh...wait...We are still in the hunt for the playoffs...With the way teams in the AFC have been choking, anything is possible..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluv Posted December 18, 2006 Share Posted December 18, 2006 And we only lost to San Diego by 3 and Indy by 1. The future is looking bright... 870558[/snapback] I just hope we don't try to fine tune our team and destroy the chemistry we are starting to establish. We should re-sign our own; Clemens is the only one that should be expensive. The only real upgrades we need are a 2nd WR threat and a hard nose DT. All other positions, while they aren't all Pro Bowlers are solid enough to win with. You don't need a team full of All-Pros just good players who play great together. If you want a paper champion team look no further than the Carolina Panthers or Washington Redskins! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JM57 Posted December 18, 2006 Share Posted December 18, 2006 And we only lost to San Diego by 3 and Indy by 1. The future is looking bright... 870558[/snapback] I was going to mention those, along with the first NYJ and NE games. Those are 4 games we lost by a combined 14 points. Throw in the Detroit game, and it's 5 games by 17 points. This is a young team that is "learning to win." Perhaps next season, we'll be on the other side of 5 close games.

The Senator Posted December 18, 2006 Share Posted December 18, 2006 This will be hard for some to accept, but the Bills should be in first place in the AFC East! We absolutely should have beaten New England in the opener - at the time, I liked Jauron's decision to go for it on 4th and 1 but - in hindsight - you should always take the points when you're playin' on the road. We also should definitely have beaten Indy on the road, and should have won the first Jets game too. We could have beaten San Diego, had we played hard for 60 minutes instead of hoping for some last-second heroics, but the most frustrating loss might well be to Detroit, because we are a better team and - for whatever reason - just did not show up to play on game day. Couple a win against NE in the opener with any of the above, and we'd be ahead of the PayToilets today. (Imagine if we had won all 5 - we'd be freakin' 12-2 today!) Oh well...coulda, shoulda, woulda, right? We've got much to look forward to next season, I think. Another great draft, some more time for healing, another year of experience for the rookies & younger players - and the coaching staff, plus some key free agency acquisitions, and hey, we're ready to make a serious run at the Superbowl, yes? 'Course, we might still do that this year! GO BILLSSSS!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buffalo Baumer Posted December 18, 2006 Share Posted December 18, 2006 Many people are saying New England - you know what, their Defense stopped us on 4th and one. I think it is a clear cut case that the most annoying loss HAS to be San Diego as our guys played their butts off and got screwed two plays in a row which I believe would have given them the vivtory - Bitter? YES. Optimistic? YES!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ganesh Posted December 18, 2006 Share Posted December 18, 2006 (Imagine if we had won all 5 - we'd be freakin' 12-2 today!) 870650[/snapback] I think 80% of the teams in the NFL could say the same thing. The line between winning and losing in the NFL is very thin. There are very few dominating and very few horrible teams. The Jax are probably kicking themselves for losing to the Bills, Titans and 2 games against Houston....Otherwise they would be 12-2 too.... Bottom line was we were not making plays during the 1st half of the season and it showed in the W column. The second half we are executing crucial plays. Just as the 3 TDs of Losman was important, so was the Defense stopping those two 4 th downs in the 1st half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
