CosmicBills Posted October 11, 2004 Share Posted October 11, 2004 Like I said before, this team WILL lose to Miami. And that just kills me. I don't even get angry any more. I just accept it's going to happen and accept reality. They are a team that can never win because of who they ARE. 64366[/snapback] What makes you say they WILL lose to Miami AT HOME? Come on. Have you even WATCHED Miami play this year? They are terrible. We may be bad, but we aren't MIAMI bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain America Posted October 11, 2004 Share Posted October 11, 2004 They MIGHT beat Miami. OTOH, a loss to Miami increases the chances that this team could be the most disappointing team in Bills' history. 64359[/snapback] There is only one thing they are going to beat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We may be bad, but we aren't MIAMI bad. 64370[/snapback] Until this game: 3 TDs in 38 posessions. Miami still has a good defense. And their offense is on a similar level of toxic putridity as ours. So I give them the edge, YES. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dolphins have a worse line, could possibly be coming to town with Sage Rosenfelds at the helm and they are on their 4th RB of the year and they have no kicker. There is no way they match up with us offensivly. Any reasonable person has to admit that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest BackInDaDay Posted October 11, 2004 Share Posted October 11, 2004 Are you high? I think you might be. DESIRE? This team FOLDS in the 4th quarter. there's no desire in this Bills team. 64293[/snapback] We took the lead in the 4th quarter against an undefeated team, in front of a sell-out crowd, in their house. We had the ball at mid-field as time ran out. Posey's pick was a big play. Followed by a good offensive set. Followed by a good defensive set. Followed by another good offensive set. We needed another big play, but our D and ST didn't deliver. Look, we made big plays in the 4th. Not enough, but they were there. 252 total yards is a freaking joke. But that's not lack of desire, that's lack of experience and talent on today's O-line, and a suspect gameplan by Clements. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In each of those games, we had a shot in the 4th. In each of those games, wither the O or the D came up small and cost us the game. This team has fully embraced the Bengal way. They perpetuate losing with their utter lack of discipline and smart play. And their failure breeds more failure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I am just as dissappointed and upset about this team's lack of performace as anyone else. But after watching Miami's last three games I am not disillusioned enough to say that Miami WILL beat us, you know? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any reasonable person has to admit that. 64388[/snapback] Well...I watched the entire Miami/NE Game today...And IF Miami plays the way they did today I give the Bills a 50/50 chance at best...Granted Miami may not have a QB next week, but I'm not sure that matters much...The Fish D is far more capable of shutting the Bills Offense down than the Jets, Oakland, or NE for that matter. And the Bills Defense, while not bad, has not been good enough... I still think the Bills will win the Game, but if Miami somehow figured out a way to pull out a victory, I would not be shocked whatsoever...

Guest BackInDaDay Posted October 11, 2004 Share Posted October 11, 2004 OK, then how do you account for opening week, week two and the PAtsie game?In each of those games, we had a shot in the 4th. I'm sorry. Our losses are the direct result of other teams taking advantage of our mistakes at crucial moments. Are the mistakes the result of a lack of desire? I don't think so, but it's easier to rationalise away. For example, it's easier to believe that Clements can in some way correct his last second mistake by 'trying harder', then facing the fact that he just may not be a 'heads up' player. I think that many of us feel the talent level of this team is far above that of our competition. It may be, but our lack of playmakers leads me to think it's not. The sting I sense we're all feeling isn't caused by our team not playing up to it's ability. It's the harsh reality that they are. With that said, I still think that they can come together as a team. A true team. Where the whole is greater than the sum of it's parts. That team will win games this year and into the future. Keep your chin up.

Guest Guest Posted October 11, 2004 Share Posted October 11, 2004 And on top of having nothing to look forward to the rest of the season, we don't even have the draft to look forward to. "Stay tuned" my ass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rockpile Posted October 11, 2004 Share Posted October 11, 2004 There's still reason to think they can go 9-3 rest of the way. If they beat Miami next week, it could be that one mental hurdle to cross. If they lose, it will indeed be a long season. 64201[/snapback] I'm with you GG! The Bills lost three games by a total of 8 points. They were in the NE game right to the end, regardless of the score. One call, one catch, one bounce of the ball... and this thing can turn around. Hell, SUCK IT UP! We are Bills fans!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
